O2 Joggler - special offer £50 for one week only

O2 Joggler

The Joggler is a clever little device that combines a mobile phone text messaging service with a calendar, music player and more. When it arrived a few months ago the O2 Joggler cost £150, but for one week only it's been reduced to just £50.

It works as a touch-screen electronic calendar for your whole family, and can show photos, play music and video files and games. It can even show you the latest weather, news and sports results and show local traffic information. If you insert an O2 mobile phone Sim card it will send out text message reminders for events on the calendar.

Until April 15, the Joggler is available for an impressive £50, which is £100 off the original selling price.

Belkin's F5D8233UK4 is a cable router, so it won't work with ADSL unless you have a separate modem, but can also be converted for use as a wireless access point.

And, for less than £20, it's quite a bargain. Click the jump for details of where to buy.

coolpixs220If you're looking for a small, pocketable camera at a good price, this could be just the job: a Nikon Coolpix model being sold at a whopping discount.

The Coolpix S220 takes 10-megapixel photos and stores them on inexpensive SD memory cards, with a 3x optical zoom to get close to the action and a 2.5in LCD display for framing your shots. The normal cost is £120, but to buy at a £50 discount click the jump.

Adobe Photoshop Elements - Just £20

Photoshop Elements 7Adobe's Photoshop software is probably the best-known photo editing software on the market, and the simplified Photoshop Elements edition is well loved by many home PC users. Elements may be far cheaper than its big brother, but at around £50 it's no cheap buy - until today, that is, as we've found copies going for just £20.

First off, a note: this deal is for version 7 of the software, not the latest version 8, and you cannot upgrade for free to the newer edition. If you're happy with using a slightly older version, though, it's a great way to save between £30 and £50. Click the jump for details of where to buy.

It runs Windows XP, includes 1GB of memory and a 160GB hard disk and has an 11.6in display. Best of all, it's selling at a great price: previously £340, we've found it for just £270. Click the jump for details.

Ultra-posh Wireless Keyboard: Under Half Price!

Dinovo Notebook setKeyboard and mouse sets come in all shapes and sizes, from the £10 plasticky models included with most computers all the way up to ludicrously expensive models with built-in displays that will set you back £60 or more. Today, though, we've found the best of both worlds: a top of the range desktop set at a bargain price.

This keyboard and mouse set comes from Logitech's premium DiNovo range, and includes a small screen built into the number pad. It's designed for notebook computers, but will of course work perfectly with a desktop - in fact, its smaller design could be handy if desk space is limited. It normally sells for just under £70, but today you can grab one for under half that price - click the jump for details.
