If you're anything like me, you probably have music strewn over several devices - including USB drives. Well, here's a good (and cheap) way of playing that music without booting up the PC - the Kinyo DS-350.

It's a speaker system specifically for USB sticks, playing MP3 and WMA files directly from the storage device. Or if you want to hook up your player, you can do that too via a mini-jack input.

Great for throwing in a bag and taking to the park on a sunny day, it retails for $40, which is around £20.

The HTC Touch measures 58mm wide by 99.9mm deep by 13.9mm high and weighs 112g with its battery. The 16-bit TFT touch-screen measures 2.8in. across the diagonal and has a standard native resolution of 320 by 240 pixels. The device is powered by a Texas Instruments OMAP 850 processor running at 200MHz, with 128MB of ROM and 64MB of RAM. Our device reported 32.6MB of free storage space for programs and data over and above the preloaded complement; a 1GB microSD card is also provided in the box. The operating system, as noted above, is Windows Mobile 6 — specifically, the Professional edition with Direct Push Email and HTML email support. There's a 2Mpixel camera on the back with a self-portrait mirror but no flash unit.

Connectivity comes in the shape of tri-band GSM with GPRS and EDGE support, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0. Battery life is rated at 5 hours talk and 200h standby. As noted above, 3G/HSDPA connectivity and a slide-out keyboard are noticeable by their absence from this device.
