JB1 007 digital camera, one of the tiniest digital music players on the market, Air Combat Zone Jet Fighter Entertainment Center and gadgets that put a stop to falling asleep at the wheel
 

On this episode, James Bond's sneaky spycam, device that's smaller than a pack of Tic-Tacs, a jet fighter entertainment centre that puts you behind the controls of an F/Z-18 flight simulator.
 

HIGHLIGHTS

Sneak Peak

Sneak Peak
If having a built-in camera in your phone is just too obvious to your photo victims, maybe you need to think more like a spy. Ask yourself, how would James Bond disguise his lens? In his lighter of course! Amber's here to tell us more about a sneaky spycam.

Up Close

Up Close
As we know, colour-screen MP3 players are very popular these days. And for many, smaller is better. One of the tiniest digital music players on the market is the Samsung YP-T7, a device that's smaller than a pack of Tic-Tacs but is anything but light on features. Listen up while we tell you what it can do.

In the end, here's what we think:

Pros
- Great design
- A ton of features
- Easy navigation

Cons
- Tiny screen
- So-so battery life
- No expandable memory

Out There

Out There
Did you have dreams of being a pilot after watching Top Gun 25,789 times? Well, we sent Pay out on a mission. She found a great alternative to the military that's also more affordable than pilot school and less stressful than landing an actual jet. We'll visit Air Combat Zone - a jet fighter entertainment centre that puts you behind the controls of an F/Z-18 flight simulator. I can't wait to see this one - "I feel the need.... the need for speed!"

Hands On

Hands On
It's happened to all of us: we're on a long road trip, our eyes are tired, our vision is blurry, and our head nods ever so slightly. Well now there's no risk of falling asleep at the wheel, thanks to a cheap gadget to keep us alert. But we're not just focusing on preventing accidents. Amber's going to show us some ways to stop you from snoring, and another product to keep your hair luscious and full.
