Our friends stateside often refer to a phenomenon known as the "EDC". It refers to the things that reside in the pocket on a daily basis, things like car keys, mobile phone, wallet and it stands for "Every Day Carry". Of course a powerful flashlight deserves to be an "EDC" but the prohibitive size and somewhat exotic need for large rechargeable batteries normally hinder their adoption as a comfortable "EDC" and leave them relegated to the desk drawer or glove box.

Nvidia's Shield console gets price and release date
Wayne Brooker at Wednesday 15th May filed under Competitions
"US chipmaker Nvidia has revealed its launch plans for Shield - its handheld video-games console.
It says the Android-powered device will ship to North America in June and be priced at $349 (£229).
That makes it $100 more expensive than Sony's PlayStation Vita and nearly double the cost of Nintendo's 3DS XL."
