Apple’s Mac mini portable computer has had a revamp, making it not only the smallest, but the most powerful incarnation of the device, with more connectivity than ever before!

The 2010 edition now features a HDMI port for hooking up to a hi-def display as well as a SD card reader for easy transfer of multimedia content to compliment the existing USB, firewire and eathernet ports and all important optical drive. It also boasts a faster Intel Core 2 Duo processor at 2.66GHz and an improved nVidia 320m graphics card and a 320GB hard-drive but has taken a step down from 4GB to 2GB of RAM. With all that extra bulk you’d expect a little swell around the waistline but Apple has managed to slim down a little with a body measuring just 19.4cm square by 3.6cm tall. There has, as with all smaller gizmos, been a hike in price and the new mini will cost a cool £649, but for this powerful and portable Mac, boasting the Snow Leopard OS, it doesn’t really seem that bad!

So once again Apple have taken one of their existing products and made us want it that little bit more but tweeking it in ways we hadn’t thought of. If a bit of a hike in cost is the price to pay for such excellent technology then I, personally, am happy to pay. Any one who isn’t…well I guess you an always wait for the price to come down.

So first there was the iPod (not too mention it’s ‘children’) and the world went Apple crazy, iTunes was launched and music was changed forever. Then came the iPhone and the phrase that will be uttered for years to come “there’s an app for that”. With the iPhone Apple revolutionised touch screen technology and turned the iPhone into a Swiss army phone with the addition of the App Store to iTunes.

This Summer the world has been taken by storm thanks to Apple’s latest release, The iPad. The iPad is the compilation of the knowledge gained from both the iPod Touch and the iPhone pooled into one amazing piece of kit. The iPad is basically a giant iPod Touch with 3G Internet and wireless capabilities, whilst incorporating some of Apples most powerful micro-processing technology allowing the iPad to operate multiple apps with unparalleled ease. Now I know I sound like an Apple sales man here but trust me when I say this is, without a doubt, one of the greatest gadgets Apple have ever produced.

The the release of the iPad, Apple seem to have placed themselves at the top of the media market with the Apple share price raising solidly for the past 3 years. With even some of the latest computer games being made to be played on a Mac, it would seem that Apple are looking to enter into the Gaming section of the media market. Such a move would see stiff competition from existing market leaders Microsoft and Sony but, if successful, would surly cement them as the true media and personal technology leaders in the world.

We all know that the average man is only a man about 30% of the time, you show a man a gizmo or gadget and he reverts back to a 14 year old! Unfortunatley this is simply encoded into the DNA of most men and the easiest thing to do is simply take advantage of this when buying a gift. Here at World of Gadgets we have kept this in mind when putting together our Gifts for Him section and produced a great list of age reverting gifts.

As you all know, here at World of Gadgets we aim to offer a great range of gift and gadget ideas for members of both sexes and all ages. In a recent overview of the World of Gadgets it suddenly struck me that the young, alternative girl seems to be missing from our gift range. In an effort to change this, World of Gadgets have added a new range for all you young rock chicks out there.

This range stretches from trendy room cushions and waste bins for decorating your room to pimping up your phone or just adding to your style. Fancy curling up for the evening? The Pink Cookie range includes fleecy robes and hot water bottle sets. The Pink Cookie range offers great gift ideas for any ‘Rock Chicks’ or alternative girls, who do seem difficult to buy for! (from personal experience)

In little over a month every shop, restaurant and pub across the country will be putting up their banners along with their prices to rope us all in for Valentine’s Day. That special day of the year that we spend with the one we love, exchanging gifts and basically letting them know how much we love them. The only problem with this day of the year is the price hikes that precede it; from cards, flowers, chocolates and meals.

Here at World of Gadgets, we’re fed up of getting ripped off at this time of year and so are offering an alternative to the traditional Valentine’s gift of roses and chocolates.  World of Gadgets offers a fantastic range of gifts for Men and Women. From a sexy outfit for her to something to help him get ready for bed, something to try together or something a bit more romantic, we hope to offer a great choice for an alternative Valentine’s Day. And who said Valentine’s day had to be a soppy affair? Why not make your partner laugh this year with one of our many novelty gadgets and have a fun Valentine’s.

On top of all these great Valentine’s gifts, World of Gadgets makes a promise NOT to raise our prices on the run up to Valentine’s Day. So why not try something different this year with World of Gadgets and beat the rush to a fun, but cost effective Valentine’s Day.

Here at World of Gadgets we are already looking forward to Christmas. Yes, as sad as it seems we have to plan for what has to be our busiest period of the year and despite the recession, we are certain that this Christmas will be at least as busy as previous years. With this in mind, not only have we kept an eye on prices, but now with our product range having been extended to nearly 460 products, you are sure to find something for that ever-growing present list.

Year on year the average buyer spends more on Internet shopping and less in the high street shops. There are a number of reasons for this. Fighting the crowds searching for Christmas gifts on the High Street can be a stressful experience. Finding a parking space is an art in itself and then the parking charges! The less that is said, the better. A revamp of the World of Gadgets site has resulted in the splitting of certain categories, so that finding what you want takes less clicks now and with a wider choice, shopping for all of the family has been made so much easier.

World of Gadgets realise that although we can’t cater for all of your Christmas Present list, we can take the stress out of some of it. With the weather getting colder, just sit in warm, click away and be happy in the knowledge that at least some of your gifts will be delivered straight to your door. It’s a ‘No-brainer’ really!

Here at World of Gadgets we have been very busy over the last couple of months adding an incredible amount of new products to what was already a decent range. At this time with nearly 430 products available, we really have pushed the boat out to ensure that there are gadgets, gizmos, fun and novelty items and toys for old and young. And if yo have been keeping an eye on what we have been up to you will have noticed that the range outgrew the previous list of ten categories and now we have fifteen!

We realised that with the massively expanding range that it would have been difficult to find what you wanted very easily under the ten category system, so by adding another five categories browsing the World of Gadgets site has become a more pleasurable experience. We know that Valentines, Mothers and Fathers days have all gone by, but in our Special Occasions section we still have Christmas to buy for this year and what if you are looking for something that is eco-friendly, well now we have added a category specifically for just that.

Whatever your preference, there is such an array of new stuff on the World of Gadgets site that you are sure to find something for you, your partner, friend or relative and you can be sure that it is not something that you can very easily find off the shelf in the high street.

World of Gadgets are in the process of expanding their range of gadgets, gizmos, novelty toys, etc. The total range of products is due to extend from what is currently around 250 lines to around 550 products, thereby giving more choice to the consumer, but again at excellent prices.

Here at World of Gadgets we realised that by expanding the range we would have to sub-divide our array of stuff into 5 more categories, with sub-categories. Whilst this sounds like it has made things more difficult, what we have tried to do is take the hard work out of identifying product lines for a specific purpose. If you are looking for something for Christmas, then we have a sub-category dedicated to this. Gifts For Him for example has been sub-divided into home, car and office, to again streamline the choices and speed up browsing process.

With evermore products available, there is sure to be something for everyone for every occasion, so why not have a browse through the site again of the coming week and see how the range expands. You know that it makes sense!
