Tivoli iYiYi: Say that again?

For a room clad in designer furnishings, it really needs a bedside radio that can cut it amongst the chic. The iYiYi has that all licked. Finished in shiny black and festooned with Tivoli's trademark knobs, it's a droolsome sight. We also dig the iPod dock and the remote which ensures we wouldn't have to roll over just to switch the dial. At S$599 (US$400.86), it certainly gives our piggy bank something to chew on.

aigo F335: This guy has got gaming, too

Hot after the heels of the Gemei X-900 comes another venerable China-designed PMP manufacturer. The F335 packs in a portable gaming device form factor. And it looks it, too. A 4-inch screen, stereo speakers and a joystick nub. Opps, the joypad's on the wrong side.

According to aigo, the F335 is more of a portable video player. It has a 30GB hard drive, ample support for DivX, Xvid and AVI, and even a small stand for tabletop viewing. And in regards to gaming, it has three built-in 2D games which, sadly, cannot be refreshed by the user. Click here for the pricing details.
