INgSOC ELECTRIFYING CYCLE SPEEDER £tba (concept) | exquisite-thesis.blogspot.com Don’t worry: it might have the same name as the totalitarian government in George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, but INgSOC has no plans to control your thoughts or torture you with rats. It’s a very clever design for a superlight, battery-assisted cycle, with a carbon fibre-reinforced polymer frame, an iPhone dock for on-road app joy and a three-speed battery control that switches between full pedal-pushing or an assisted ride. And with its highly aerodynamic frame, it looks like it could get you home for Big Brother in record time. The TV programme, that is. As hot as… riding the Tour de France in awetsuit

FOR THE LOEWE OF GOD

£tba | loewe-uk.com

Not all iPod docks are created equal. While some beg for attention by scraping together what few features they can, others arrive to a chorus of horns like gifts sent from the gadget gods. And lo(ewe), the latest to grace the Earth is the SoundVision. In fact, to call it an iPod dock is almost unfair. With a CD

player, FM and internet radio, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi streaming all controlled via a 7.5in multi-touch screen, plus six speakers (including two subwoofers), and a dock behind the display, this aluminium box has more in common with a sculpture dedicated to the art of hi-fi than a pedestrian iPod speaker. Now bow down and kiss its CD slot.

As hot as… Mila Kunis in a hot sauce Jacuzzi
