Oakley Thump 2

Digital Living The Oakley Thump 2 is a flash MP3 player built into a pair of sunglasses -- something we didn't know we needed until the good people of Oakley came up trumps. What do you think: preposterous toy or pride and joy?

Do I need to pay more than £30 for earphones?

Digital Living I got a free pair with my iPod and also with a couple of MP3 players before that. When using a good pair of noise-cancelling headphones on an aeroplane, the noise and rumble from the plane's engines can be almost completely eliminated.

Don't cut the technology cord

A mobile phone to take me home?

Digital Living Then you simply have to put the provided memory card into your phone, turn the Bluetooth receiver on and pair it with your phone. I work all over the UK, but until now I haven't bought a sat-nav because I don't like carrying too much stuff around.
