If you store your music on an iPhone or iPod and also enjoy internet radio, the PURE Contour is a one of the nicer speaker systems that I’ve had the opportunity to review. It offers a dock for playing the music on an iPhone/iPod while also charging its batteries, Internet streaming radio, FM radio and network streaming audio. This is all contained in an attractive compact package. Let’s take a closer look.

Tech Week: Apple Siri on iPad 2 and more...
It's once again been a hectic week in the world of tech with technological problems being at the forefront of people's minds. First up is the news that the Apple iPhone 4S and Airplay aren't being cosy via iPod docks, with a major manufacturer reporting a some serious connection problems. This was then followed by it's rival the Samsung Galaxy Nexus suffering from volume problems,
Google have however confirmed a fix for this problem but were not been able to defend themselves from a second barrage this time after it was discovered the Samsung Galaxy Nexus would not support USB Mass storage .
This bad news however was short-lived after it was revealed that Apple Siri on iPad 2 could in fact soon be possible after developers found a way to crack Apple's proxy. This has since resulted in some truly original ideas on how Siri can be used to control items in our lives.
In gaming news: Reports have surfaced which suggest the PS Vita will stream PS3 titles over a WiFi connection, the software update could well happen in mid-2012.
It's also a big week for Nintendo as it's the Nintendo Wii's 5th Birthday, the occassion was celebrated with a specially released version of the console in the US.
Xbox Live gamers were placed in the spotlight after it was revealed that some Xbox Live gamers were being conned through a phishing campaign of fake emails which asked gamers to give across their Xbox Live details.
Black Friday deals
It being the day after Thanksgiving it wouldn't be a proper Tech Week if we didn't give you all the best Black Friday deals along with some T3 exclusives thrown in as well to make sure you enjoy this tech-related bonanza to its fullest.
Features
Well it's not really a tech-related Christmas if you don't all huddle around the TV and watch some films so to help with that we've put together the Best Blu-ray movies and DVD's to buy this Christmas.
If you're looking to keep your Apple iPad 2 warm this winter well look no further, T3 has compiled a list of the Best Apple iPad 2 cases, whether you need something sturdy, stylish or just downright original, it's all there.
Having some problems filling the stockings this Christmas, not a problem. We've been trawling through the interweb to find the best 50 Christmas stocking-fillers.
Finally, if the generic high-street tech is just far to 'mainstream' then we may be able to help, putting together an eclectic list T3 has found the best cool gadgets and gizmos all of which offer you something a little different from the norm.
Reviews
The big review of the week quite clearly goes to our Samsung Galaxy Nexus review, offering you the full break-down of its features and functions T3 gets up close and personal with the Ice Cream Sandwich handset to see how it holds up.
In case you haven't already, check out the Assassin's Creed: Revelations review where T3 finds out whether Ezio is still up there as no.1 or has lost his way as one of the coolest gaming characters to come into existence.
Finally if you're into your sports in a big way then this could be for you, T3 travelled across the pond to do a Nike SPARQ Vapor Strobe Glasses review. Yes that's a mouthful but these advanced specs limit your vision in split-second gaps, speeding up your reactions and potentially making you even quicker and more responsive.

Android App Video Review: Elemental
If you really like Sudoku, but you hate all those numbers reminding you of horrible things like math, then I've got the perfect game for you! Elemental from Vostu adds some innovation and color to the classic game and creates a fresh and enjoyable new experience.
The idea is to fill every space on the board without any elements repeating in the same row or column, much like Sudoku. Here, you're working with a simple four by four board and instead of numbers, we have the classic elements of Earth, Air, Water, and Fire. Unfortunately, no heart could be found, and no Captain Planet can be synthesized. The idea is to combine the elements into new substances, such as mud, dust, stone, ice or clouds. Some single spaces are given away for free, and eventually you'll have to mix three or even all four elements into the same section.
So anyway, if you're having trouble becoming the Avatar, master of all elements, you can cast a spell which will reveal a random space for you, although this ability has a very long cool-down timer. You can tap on any section for a free tip explaining which elements go into that section, accompanied by a fancy and memorable quote related to that section's substance. The game expects you to memorize the composition of each substance eventually, as using tips or casting the freebie spell will take away from your final score. Your final score is comprised of things like your completion time, and you'll even build experience towards whatever substances and elements you combine. For the majority of the game, each level takes anywhere from thirty seconds to a minute and a half to complete, but eventually the difficulty really ramps up. If you want a change of pace, you can try out survival mode, which asks you to complete puzzles within a certain time limit. It's a fun mode that mixes things up.
The art style is warm and well done, and the soundtrack matches it. This is a fun and creative take on the classic Sudoku formula, although it's pretty short and mostly easy. However, more level packs are promised in future updates. OpenFeint leaderboards and achievements are both supported, and best of all, the game is completely free. You can pay one dollar to get rid of advertisements, but I can honestly say that I didn't even notice them. Any puzzle fans, and especially Sudoku fans, have no excuse not to give this one a shot.
