Great gadgets for under £200

Round-up by: Andrew Lim

If you've got £200 burning a hole in your pocket and you're keen to buy something cool this weekend, try something from this roundup.

First up is the Nintendo DS Lite, which no gadget fan should be without. For the bargain price of only £100, not only can you play a variety of games using the innovative dual-display setup and touchscreen interface, but you can also use the built-in Wi-Fi to play other DS users around the world.

If you prefer to listen to music and watch videos over playing games, then you'll want to check out the Archos 404. While this isn't the latest Archos portable media player, you can find it for just £180 now. It features a compact body, a 30GB hard drive and a great big screen.

The Archos works well, but it's no substitute for watching TV at home. If only you could carry your TV and Sky box around with you... Well, looky here! The Sling Media Slingbox is just such a device, letting you watch and control your TV at home on a PC or mobile phone. Genius.

For those of you who already have a DS Lite, Archos 404 or Slingbox, then a pair of Shure E4c headphones might tickle your fancy. These aren't just any old pair of headphones though, they feature a new Tuned Port Technology, which enhances the tiny earphones' bass response by improving airflow around the driver -- they're the best in-ear headphones we've heard to date.
