You can buy anything in inflatable form -- chairs, crocodiles, dolls, you name it -- so it was only a matter of time before solar panels got the treatment.

This is the SolarStore by design consultancy IDC, and it's a blow-up solar thermal panel designed to give you green clean hot water through the power of the sun. IDC sent us the prototype sample to take a look at.

Great! Moe shit for the backpack. No, seriously, this could make camping (or emergencies) a lot easier to deal with.

Pinnacle Journey 1.0 2008
Cheap and cheerful -- the Journey hits the value bullseye. And doesn't end up a horrible compromise in doing so.
Mezzo d-10
Too costly, particularly compared to its d-9 sibling. But despite that, this is the state-of-the-art for folding bikes -- fast, light, practical.
Puma Glow Rider
The emperor's new bicycle -- all marketing and no trousers. Over-expensive, handles and folds poorly, doesn't glow well enough, and is stealable despite the weird cable-cum-downtube.
Weleda Edelweiss Sun Lotion SPF 15
It's a very good, honest sun lotion and we appreciate that -- we're excited about Weleda as a company, but not overly so about this particular product
LG 32LG5000
Stylish and with good performance, this is a nice TV, especially at just over £400 -- but the high energy use is a turn off
