When your mobile says it has web access we all know what that means, you can get onto the web, but you just can't see anything unless you live your life on a geological timescale. Phones are phones, and are definitely NOT web browsers, they're kak at it. This razor thin piece of genius however not only leaps onto the internet with consummate ease, it zips about it at lighting speed, and doesn't charge* you for it! The Pocket Surfer 2 is indeed pocket sized, and yet is jammed with technological magic to let you browse web pages with full graphics, Java support, and lots of other techy stuff we don't understand. There are no wires, no wi-fi, there's no contract, and the qwerty keyboard is backlit and looks very cool - which is of course deeply important. The built-in GPRS modem lets you zip effortlessy around the web wherever and whenever you like, displaying the pages in all their glory on its 5" colour screen. Powered by a re-chargeable battery it'll provide four hours of surf time (with 5 days on standby), giving you plenty of time to check your emails, fiddle about on Facebook or whatever your preferred networking site is, and still have time to visit us at IWOOT!

Rolerball

Oh my oh my. This gigantic RolerBall is simply awesome, potentially dangerous, but nevertheless awesome. Once inflated this behemoth stands about three metres high, and is rather like a spherical cushioned igloo. The idea, which sounds insane, is to put it at the top of a slope (we suggest a very gentle one with a long unobstructed run-off), strap yourself in, and then roll down the hill trying not to lose your lunch*. Inside the centre shell are two harnesses, so you could have two people feeling the adrenalin rush, and probably the queasiness, together. There is a version of this mad sport that requires you to remove the harnesses, add a bucket or two of water, tie in the seal (which comes with the ball and straps into the opening), and launch yourself off. Not in a month of Sundays would we do that, but there you go. The ball is made from a very tough material, and comes with a puncture repair kit, but nevertheless you want to be sure you're using it in a clear area - and ONLY EVER on private land, and with supervision.
