Are you a huge fan of the Guitar Hero franchise? If you think that this is one of the better games to have been released since forever, then you might be interested in yet another form of Guitar Hero - this time in a handheld format, and I don’t mean Guitar Hero On Tour for the Nintendo DS. We’re talking about the handheld Guitar Hero II here people, as you can just clip it onto any bag or backpack to turn it into an instant gaming accessory. Features include an LCD display, five wave tone note buttons, a whammy bar and a foldable neck for supreme portability. Don’t expect to rock out to superb graphics like the console counterparts, but you do get 10 segments of your favorite tunes from Guitar Hero I and II, with three difficulty levels to choose from. Some of these classics include :-
- ZZ Top’s Shard Dressed man
- Ramones’ I Wanna Be Sedated
- Kansas’ Carry On wayward Son
- Motorhead’s Ace of Spades
- Joan Jett’s I Love Rock& Roll
- Kinks’ You Really Got Me
Panasonic looks to introduce high-security electronic whiteboards

Every office should have at least one of these in a meeting room - the old standby known as a whiteboard, and more often than not they come equipped with a couple of markers that have already run out of ink (strange how people who discover that fail to go the extra mile and make replacements) along with a worn out duster. Not forgetting the marks of previously drawn diagrams that have been etched permanently as nobody bothered to erase those away. One thing’s for sure though - standard whiteboards have no security feature at all, so whatever million dollar idea you have on there is free game for everyone else to copy. Panasonic thinks otherwise though, and will roll out a couple of electronic whiteboards in half a dozen models when January 20 rolls around. Users are able to set passwords by manipulating the LCD display on the main unit so that not everybody will be able to access whatever you have written down.
