Acer ICONIA B1

Price: $1,600

Website: acer.com

A 7in tablet by Acer, powered by a dual-core processor and Android’s Jelly Bean, for 8k? Sounds like a nasty trick, the same kind you play on your dog when you pretend to throw the stick and he runs excitedly into the distance to find nothing, coming scampering back with the most confused eyes. Aww. Mean, mean person! That’s pretty much the same feeling we got when we heard about the price for a tablet with a decent spec sheet. But it’s not a trick! It is the TRUTH. Faith in humanity, restored.

Oceans 8

Antonio Bernini Ocean Series

Price: $5,200

Website:|antoniobernini.com

We’re used to the PR reps of watch brands hurling figures that venture into Lacs for a single wrist watch. In fact, we even get the dreaded ‘Price on Request’ when we’ve, in fact, just requested for the damn price. So when we learn of cool diving watches like Antonio Bernini’s Ocean Series, equipped with a unique helium-escapement valve that makes them water-resistant till 300 meters, with a price tag starting from less than 30k, we do a double take involuntarily. Great! So now some of us yacht-less beings can also enjoy a fine timepiece.

Turn up the Bose

Bose Soundlink Air

Price:$4,478

Website: boseindia.com

While we were wondering why Bose didn’t cash in on Bollywood and come up with an audio product called Bose D.K, Bose was being all adult and mature, working on developing their first AirPlay-enabled system, logically named the Soundlink Air. With Bose’s own Acoustic Waveguide speaker technology, neodymium transducers and other fancy audio thingamajigs, this wireless system will make your Apple device sound as good as it looks.

Lenovo A2107

Price: $2,800

Website: lenovo.com

Ever wondered what it’d be like to be teleported from India to Miami? Don’t get too excited – this 7in tablet running on Android ICS will not take you to Miami, but we are sure you can carry it around with you if you ever go there! Yah! It’s got Wi-Fi and inbuilt 3G. OMG, wait, it also has 8 hours of battery life. And the best feature, that’s especially useful if you suck at navigation, is the 10-second GPS location fix. Therefore, if you get lost on the beach in Miami, the Lenovo will help you get home safe.

And the best feature, that’s specially useful if you suck at navigation, is the 10-second GPS location fix.

Videocon 65in DDB LED TV

Price: $4,198

Website: videocon.com

Well, yeah, it’s just another TV from Videocon. But it’s the size of a monster! 65in to be precise, and it has DDB. What’s that, you ask? You sorry souls! DDB is the new technology adapted and developed by some of the major television companies. With this technology your TV is installed with a built-in STB and this particular one can convert 2D channels to 3D too. TVs like this one by Videocon diminish the need for additional devices. Beat that!

Sound of the city

JBL SoundFly

Price: $1,980

Website: indiajbl.com

It seemed such a good idea, your city-center flat. Sure, it’s expensive, but you can walk to work. And yes, it’s small. So small, in fact, that you can turn the kitchen taps on from your bed. Or the loo. Happily, JBL has thought of you and designed a 20W wireless speaker that needs no charging cables, nor a table to put it on. The SoundFly has a plug on its back, so you just stick it into any power socket and start streaming via Bluetooth or AirPlay. You… you do have more than one power socket, don’t you?

Nyne lives

Nyne NH6500

Price: $10,000

Website:| nyne.com

Yes, it’s nice to have a large, iPad-compatible dock with two woofers, two tweeters and a sub. Yes, it’s handy that it has a CD player, Bluetooth streaming, and the option to play from a USB stick or 3.5mm input. But what about when you want to stop listening to other people’s music, plug in your axe and noodle out some freeform jazz? Let it happen using Nyne’s guitar adapter (sold separately), this musical Swiss Army knife also becomes a 30W guitar amp. Groovy.

Nike GS2 Boots

Prie: $2,799

Website: nike.com

These Nike footy boots are equipped with an “All Conditions Control” which means you can play football in any condition: in the middle of a war, in the air, when you are asleep or take a step further, even on water.* Made of recycled materials, each element has a low impact on the environment. Here’s a friendly slap on the butt to you, Nike.

The fresh prints

Lomography Belair X 6-12

Price: $249

Website: world.shop.lomography.com

Now this is the story all about how / photography got flipped, turned upside down / We’d like to take a minute, just sit right there / we’ll tell you about a new medium-format cam called Belair… In 1901, 120 film was born and raised / in the Kodak Brownie, where it spent most of its days / a couple of guys, to make medium-format cameras good / started makin’ Hasselblads in the 120 neighborhood / for a time it was the choice of professionals but they got, er, scared / so now 120 film is just reserved for the Belair.
