You can't trust the English summer.
From the agony induced by following our national football team, to the barbecue that invariably ends up in a cramped kitchen, it's a season bound to disappoint.
It's okay though - ShortList andMr Hyde are coming through for you, with a bounty of tech prizes to put your hopes in instead. Somebody has to win them, and it could be you.
These are all the coveted tech pieces you can get your hands on this June.
