I'm always impressed by the way retailers and manufacturers shoehorn the word "iPod" into sales pitches. Trixter has gone even further, managing to connect both the iPod and Sony PSP into the promotion for its X-Bike 600 excercise system.

Let's be honest, this is an exercise bike, nothing more. But worth a look if you want to get in shape. A 30-minute spell on the X-Bike 600 burns off 500 calories, using an action that replicates riding a mountain bike outdoors. So where do the gadgets come in?

The X-Bike 600 is priced at £749?

Quite expensive, I'd rather get a normal pedal bike you can travel further.
