Kensington’s gift guide for gadget-loving guys

Is he…?

…Hooked to his iPhone®

• Then the Bluetooth® Visor Hands-Free Kit will enable him to make calls and listen to music while driving with his eyes fixed firmly on the road
• And with the Dual Dock for iPod® and iPhone®, he never needs to run out of power again – even if he’s using both an iPod and iPhone

…Crazy for connectivity

• The next generation of road warrior needs to know where to find a WiFi Internet connection. To save powering up his laptop every time, buy him the WiFi Finder Plus to locate the strongest hotspots
• Ensure he doesn’t run out of battery when working on the move with the Wall Ultra Thin Power Adapter

…The outdoor type

• There is no need to lug around a entire laptop bag if he just need to carry his laptop; instead, protect the computer and the carrier’s shoulder with the Simply Portable Neoprene Sleeve
• Stay secure with the ComboSaver® Portable lock, a laptop lock with a cable that retracts into a spring to save space in his bag, while providing a first line of defence against theft
• The Ci10 Fit Mouse is ergonomically designed to save you…from the annoyance of using the touchpad on your laptop

…At the cutting edge of technology

• Kensington’s latest innovation, the SlimBlade™ Trackball, puts a revolutionary twist on mouse use: the giant ball provides impeccable control over applications such as iTunes and Google Maps, changing the way he interacts with information for the better

George Foot, Vice President Kensington Europe, commented: “I’m told men are impossible to buy for, but with such a wide-range of affordable gadgets available, it should be easy to choose an accessory to suit everyone. Whether the recipient is tied to his desk or would rather be anywhere but in the office, Kensington’s ‘smart made simple’ devices can help make anyone’s computer or iPhone use easier and more enjoyable.”
