Top 5 Gadgets
We live in a digital age, and the technologies available to us now are some of the most innovative and useful ever conceptualised. Here are five of the top gadgets on the market, essential tools for getting the most out of our digital lives.
An obvious taker for the first spot is the digital camera, owned by almost everyone whether a professional photographer with a heavy duty DSLR or a casual snapper wanting to record memories with a simple point and click model. The bestselling digital camera from the online shopping site www.very.co.uk is the Samsung ES25, a fun and affordable 12Mp camera available in black, silver or purple for just £39.
Next up is the iPod. Of course it can’t be missed in a gadget list, with Apple having launched a range of iPods that have taken the world by storm with every new model. Currently dominating is the iPod touch although now the iPhone is available, serving as phone, iPod and who knows what else, it may be that Apple discontinues music and video only devices. The high capacity 64GB iPod touch can be bought at www.very.co.uk for £306.
Linked in to the notion of iPods and mp3 players is the next item on our list. CD players and radios have been popular for an age, and the market for iPod and mp3 speakers surged with the development of the original products. The craze now is for multi-function stereos, combining CD players with FM radios and/or docking facilities. The iLuv IMM153BLK from www.very.co.uk combines two of the functions, radio and docking, with an alarm system that allows you to wake up to your favourite music.
The sat-nav has become an essential item for most drivers, replacing the traditional system of you read the map, I’ll drive, which inevitably led to disaster. Although many cars nowadays are sold with built in sat-nav systems, for those without there are a range of affordable models that will do the job, including the cheapest value Tom Tom, jut £99 from www.very.co.uk and one of the site’s best sellers.
Finally, DVD players have become a thing of the past. Blu-ray is what it’s all about now thanks to the advent of HD TV. You can watch Sky in HD, and now with Blu-ray players you can watch all your favourite films in high definition as well. The Samsung 3D Blu-ray Player BD-C6900 has taken it a step further, incorporating 3D technology that soon will be available in home cinema as well. The BD-C6900 is £349 from www.very.co.uk, a reasonable price for the latest technology on the market.
