Tech Digest The World Cup - a great time for football, an even
better time for flag sellers and for manufacturers of
gadgets.

Yes, for the last couple of months, manufacturers big and small
have been scouring the warehouse, looking for products they
couldn't sell at Christmas, before repackaging them at a premium
price, adding those magic words: "World Cup...".
We've seen some pretty poor examples of World Cup gadgetry, but
have chosen to shelter you, dear reader, from the worst
merchandising excesses. But with the event already underway, what
better time to reflect on some of the top tat that's been sent our
way and pick out our top five worst gadgets. This really could run
and run.
1. St George's USB drive/speakers/iPod case/anything
(various prices) Yes, this summer's first rule of shifting
an overstock - stick a flag on it. As the country goes St George's
crazy, what better way to shift a low-spec electrical product than
to make it patriotic. Extra marks if you can tie it in with the
iPod. If you're not sure what we mean, check out this motley
bunch:
St George's iPod nano case

St George's speaker set


St George's USB drive

2. England World Cup Victory Vibe (£9.99)
You guessed correctly, it's a vibrator. Decked out in the St
George's flag, this single speed unit with interchangeable heads
promises more pleasure than a penalty shoot out win against the
Germans. And as the retailer points out: "If you get sent for an
early bath, no problem - the Victory Vibe is totally
waterproof!"
