Myvu Corporation recently released the Myvu Crystal premium range of video eyewear, which is to be brought to the UK after signing a deal with O2. Billed as the very latest in video eyewear technology, the Myvu crystal aims to offer a viable viewing alternative for mobile video, gaming and mobile internet.
In our tests we found the design comfortable to wear, sturdy (in fact it meets military spec for durability) and offering a good quality viewing experience. Just don’t wear it while you’re driving !!!
Myvu say:
“Myvu, the worldwide leader in designing and manufacturing innovative video eyewear for mobile entertainment, has designed its video eyewear products to connect to any media device with video out functionality – such as the iPhone, Nokia N Series and most Samsung models.

When it comes to Luxury Spa Breaks in the UK you really can’t afford to miss out on the highly acclaimed Chewton Glen. Situated just 10 minutes walk from the sea (and some beautiful sandy beaches), the luxury spa is nestled at the tip of the New Forest (Hampshire) in the South East of England.
We recently visited the Spa and discovered a level of relaxation that we have never experienced before. After some time debating between ourselves why Chewton Glen felt so different to many other spas that we’ve visited we came to the conclusion that their secret lies in their unique combination of premium quality at every turn, and incredibly friendly and down to earth staff who have clearly mastered the art of communication!
As you enter the regal gates and navigate the sweeping drive with beautifully mowed lawns either side of you it’s unmistakable that you have reached one of England’s finest spa retreats. You arrive directly at the front porch where you are greeted by porters all keen to allow you to relax as soon as you get out of the car. There’s a very different feel about this place from the outset; no arrogance, pompousness… more like a family all wanting to ensure every part of your stay is a memorable one…
