Appblaster

If he was a video game nut, then he is going to love this!

The appBlaster.

Blast those pesky aliens with your iPhone or iPod touch.

Simply lock and load an iPod touch 4 or iPhone 3GS or 4, into the appBlaster, download the free app and then do battle with aliens and monsters using augmented reality technology.

On your camera's screen you will see whatever your camera sees (your room obviously) as well as a high tech sight complete with a sniper's cross hair, game data and a radar screen. The appBlaster utilises the accelerometer of your iPhone/iPod touch so the game rotates and moves as you do.

Suddenly aliens will start to appear from around the room, and they're out to get you. You have to blast away at them, spinning around to find the cheeky ones sneaking up behind you (check your radar). When you're out of ammo, simply flick the gun up and it reloads.

The result is an immersive game that requires quick reactions and frantic firing!

Yes, he can run from room to room ridding the house of ailens in this new style of game.

Cooking with Beer

Paul has a great fondness for beer and a wealth of knowledge about it. He has spent considerable time developing recipes in which beer plays a significant role, not as a gimmick, but as an essential flavouring. His recipes display a depth of knowledge about the flavours and qualities of various beers and the dishes that they best complement.

The 80-plus recipes in Cooking with Beer include both bold and subtle dishes, from traditional beer-based favourites such as Lamb Shanks in Guinness, to variations on classics, such as Beer-Braised Beef Osso Bucco, to those that use beer in unexpected but wholly delicious ways, such as Birramisu and Sticky Date Pudding.

"If there's liquid in a recipe, then it might as well be beer" Paul Mecurio.

Iphone Dock

You can bet one of the first things he'll do when he sits down at work, is take his mobile phone from hispocket and pop it out on the desk next to him. However, we think that something so awesome and indispensable should at least have its own little seat to sit in too whilst he beavers away at work .The iDock Phone is our recommended 'throne for your phone'!

The iDock Phone lets you use everything that is great about his mobile whilst keeping an old-skool retro element to how you answer your calls. Now he can pick up the dock's handset and easily access other features of his smart phone, such as look up contact numbers, or check calendar dates, and this is sooo much easier to trap between his ear and shoulder should the need arise. The whole dock has a great rubberised finish making it nice to hold.

The built in mic and speaker provides a hands free function, allowing him to multitask whilst taking a call. The iDock Phone can also be used as a speaker to play his music whilst not on a call.

The up-right design of the dock is perfect for video calling, or as the iPhone people like to call it Face Time. The angle that the phone sits at is adjustable to suit the height of the caller or height of the desk.

If he needs to re-charge his mobile phone simply use the charging cable that came with hisphone and place it in the holder.

Product Features

• Turn your mobile into a retro handset
• Rubberised finish makes it great to hold
• Easily access other features on your phone such as contacts, or calendar etc
• Adjustable dock angle makes it great for video calling
• 'Press to answer' button on the handset
• Mic and speaker for hands free calling
• Charge your phone whilst docked (charging cable not supplied)
• Play music through the dock whilst not on a call
• Requires no batteries
• Phone cradle measures approx. 7.5cm wide x 1.5cm deep
• Measures approx. 19.5cm x 15cm x 11.5cm
