April 2012

Another month, another mag – and April’s issue (on sale in all good and some bad newsagents now) is stuffed to the gadgety gills with the world’s most drool-inducing tech…

There’s a common misconception that all the good gadget stuff happens elsewhere; that in order to be overawed by innovation you need to hop on a plane to Seoul or Silicon Valley. But it’s not just fish ‘n’ chips and bad weather in Blighty. In our Best of British feature we reveal the British companies behind some of the world’s finest kit, from hi-fi to supercars, via gaming and Formula 1.

The existence of Bluetooth and Apple’s AirPlay tech means you no longer need to dock your iThing in order to unleash its tunes. But which of these wireless speakers does it best? We put five through their paces so you don’t have to.

Who says you need a DSLR to take decent pics? Ditch the camera bag, leave the lenses at home and pick up one of these high-end compact cameras. We put five to the test and find the best.

The April issue of Stuff was brought to you by: HTC’s quad-core One X Android phone, Richard Mille’s million dollar watch, Alienware’s lounge-friendly X51 gaming PC, a gallery of geek art, a real-life Aperture Science Portal gun, Netflix vs Lovefilm, the history of motion gaming, a pair of Wi-Fi cufflinks and a remote-controlled ‘copter made of carbon fibre.
