We’ve just got out of the scrum around Asus to get hands on with one of its tablet netbook crossovers the Asus Eee Pad Transformer. We’ve had a play with the keyboard and touchscreen, that come apart so you can have a netbook setup or a straight tablet. We’re sorry Asus, but we’re just not sure about the durability of the mechanism on this one. Click through for more photos.

Stand back! We’ve got a Nerf Stampede and we’re not afraid to fire it! We had a sneak peek at Hasbro’s Christmas toy line up this morning, and spied this beauty nestling amongst its non-lethal armoury. It fires clips of 18 soft shells at a rate of two every second, for all-out office, living room or back yard warfare. Read on, and see why it’s worthy of a place in your stocking this December.
The Apple Magic Trackpad has divided opinion at Electricpig towers, with some of us scoffing at its potential to replace our much-loved mice, and others proclaiming it a masterstroke of innovation.
