Okay, okay. Not everyone has an iOS device, and there's definitely still a place for a standalone gadget loaded with great guitar sounds and play-along rhythms that's small enough to fit in your shirt pocket.

The Pandora Mini is exactly that gadget, and it also guarantees peace and quiet for you while your guitar-playing partner, sibling, son or daughter shreds away to their heart's content. Without ruining your enjoyment of the Queen's speech.

Be sure to stay tuned to MusicRadar throughout December for a special series of Pandora Mini giveaways. You don't have to tell them that you won their present in a competition...
