A. There are loads of new mobile gadgets on the market that cost a lot less than �500, and believe it or not, not all of them are related to telecommunications. Some of the best ones can all be given as gifts, and include the following:

�

Sharperimage Travel Alarm
Price: �50
Website: www.sharperimage.com
This new travel alarm not only wakes you up in the morning but it also acts as a smoke alarm and alerts you if someone tries to steal it during the night.

�

Nature Alarm Clock
Price: �60
Website: www.remington-products.com
This alarm clock may not appear as technically proficient as the Sharperimage model above, but it is just as clever. This clock simulates sunlight, complete with birds tweeting, so that you wake up slowly while inhaling aromatherapy oils.

�

Gameboy Advance
Price: �100
This handheld game console is smaller than the original Gameboy and a whole lot more powerful as it has a 32 bit RISC CPU, and ten hours of battery life. You can also connect it to the Internet via a mobile phone.

�

Canon Digital IXUS V
Price: �450
Website: www.canon.co.uk
Based on its original IXUS model, the new IXUS V comes complete with the ability to capture Quicktime film clips with sound and a great new zoom lens.

�

Tiger Feet
Price �160
Website: www.gadgetshop.com
If you can't afford Sony's AIBO robotic dog and want one, this could prove to be second best.� The Tiger I Cybie is a robotic dog too and it can sense day, night, motion, sound and touch - it also lies down and plays dead. It is a great novelty gift.

�

Wrist Globe
Price: �220
Website: www.thinktheearth.net
Think the Earth has come up with this great gadget that doubles up as a wrist watch or a desk clock - the globe in the middle is designed to appear the same size as the earth as viewed from the moon and turns at the same relative speed.

�

Swatch Skin Watch
Price: �75
Website: www.swatch.com
Swatch has just launched its new Skin range of watches that are only 6mm thick, which is just a fraction bigger than the watchstrap, and they are all waterproof. It comes in three versions - Flatzone, Outrage and Phenomenon - and you can hardly tell you're wearing it.

�

I&C Neckphone IM-600B
Price: �115
Website: www.tinyaccessories.co.uk
These tiny headphones not only fill your head with sound, but they incorporate an MP3 player with an FM radio. The headset also comes complete with a USB MMC reader so that you can download MP3 tracks from your PC.

�

Motorola Timeport 260
Price: �200
Website: www.motorola.com
This is the only GPRS phone on the market right now, and although it might be a bit bigger than some mobiles on the market it comes complete with WAP capability, an internal modem, Voicenote digital voice recorder, and 210 minutes talk time.

�

Kenwood Mini Hi-Fi
Price: �270
Website: www.kenwood.co.uk
This mini hi-fi is currently all the rage in Japan, and is set to hit our shores in the autumn. The Rampage MDX-G7 can be carried in your pocket or set up in your living room for surround sound and plays CDs, minidisks and is also an FM radio.

�

Philips ACT7585 Personal CD Player
Price: �100
Website: www.philips.co.uk
This new CD-RW player is waterproof and jog resistant, so great for taking to the beach this summer. It has an amazing 22 hours of playback time and comes complete with its own neoprene pouch to keep it dry.

�

Pretec DC350 4-in-1 Digital Camera
Price: �135
Website: www.memorygold.com
Amazingly, this is a digital camera, MP3 player, voice recorder and a webcam all in one - it weighs as little as 135g and comes with 2MB of internal memory and 48MB of external memory, and although it may seem to be packing too much into one package, it works rather well.
