 Bring the noise Zumreed X2 Hybrid Headphones



Some people feel the need to share their music taste with everyone within a 15m radius. Even when they're wearing headphones. Without risking a possible smack in the chops it's hard to do anything about it. The fightback starts here with Zumreed's X2 Hybrids, which transform at the flick of a switch from headphones to a pair of battery powered personal speakers - or anti-personnel speakers, if you're listening to the Vengaboys.

Dell XPS 14z





Appearances can be deceptive. For example, did you know that A Quest/on of Sport's Sue Barker can spin her head around like an owl? In a way, Dell's XPS 14z is the Sue Barker of laptops. While it might look like a flimsy 14in waif, its aluminum and magnesium alloy chassis offers Intel Core i7 processors, 2GB Nvidia graphics, USB 3.0 connectivity, a mulch-touch track pad and a 256GB SSD. There's also a slot-loading DVD drive onboard. Take that. MacBook Air.

Apple iPad 2



 
 
What is there left to say about the gadget that redefined what you could do with a rectangle? While it might have been an evolutionary rather than revolutionary step on from the original Apple tablet, the skinnier, more powerful, camera-equipped iPad 2 remains a peerless slab of tactile tech. Whether you choose to use it to browse the web, or to pillage the seemingly bottomless treasures of the App Store, or make the most of the longhaul-flight-friendly battery life by watching movies on its 9.7in screen, as the most complete tablet package on the market, the iPad 2 has put Apple that little bit further ahead. Still, Apple - be a darling and support Flash? from £4001 apple.com/uk
Asus Eee Pad Transformer The tablet that thinks it's a laptop, Asus' Eee Pad Transformer combines the best of both worlds. Acer A100
Small but powerful (its size makes it perfect for dual-thumbed gaming). Acer's 7in Honeycomb tablet is the best in its class.
BlackBerry PlayBook Slick, stylish and powerful, the 7in PlayBook is almost everything a smart-suited BlackBerry addict could want -but it should have BlackBerry email built-in. Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Thinner and lighter than the iPad 2,
Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 is only let down by Android's lack of killer apps. Sony Tablet S A unique wedge-shaped form factor and 9.4in screen make the Sony Tablet S stand out from the rest of the Android crowd.



Sony Tablets

 
Less of a slate and more of a wedge, Sony's unusual new tablet is light, elegant and eye-catching. But will this Android device drive itself between us and the iPad - or will it fall flatter than your average tablet?

The asymmetrical fold provides a handy Incline when the Tablet S is lying on a desk, making it an unusually pleasant companion screen at work. The Tablet S fills the palm if you're holding it like a book, and it's nice to clutch two-handed in landscape format, where the wedge works Its way into your fingers.
Sony's customizations to the Android 3.2 interface are nothing special. But their own apps. which include a Social Feed Reader, PlayStation games, an onscreen keyboard and a stunningly useful universal remote which uses the built-in IR transmitter, are some of the best so far on a Google tablet.
Despite measuring just 9.4inches on the diagonal, the Tablets still packs 1280x800 pixels into a sharp, high-def screen. Co lours look more natural on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 or the Eee Pad Transformer, but the Tablet S is bright, with great viewing angles. It's a shame battery life doesn't compare so well, coming in at just over 5 hours.
