From the iPod nano to a tiny digital camera with big shooting power
HIGH-TECH STUFF
THE CLEVEREST, COOLEST, MOST COLOURFUL GADGETS TO GO
Lexar JumpDrive Mercury
USB storage devices are so handy for transferring files between computers, and this one is handier than most, thanks to a display that shows how much storage space is left on it. It also features PowerToGo, which lets you access your PC programs from afar, and a file shredder feature for extra security. $75 (1GB version), $110 (2GB version); www.lexar.com
Canon Digital IXUS i7 zoom
Despite its small stature, the i7 (which comes in denim blue, steel grey, sepia and sizzling pink) packs in 7.1 megapixels of shooting power.
And because it comes complete with face recognition technology for shooting group shots of up to nine people, any snaps you take of your friends on a night out should all be perfectly in focus. £250; www.canon.co.uk
Sony LA1 Series PC and TV
Sony’s LA1 Series computers offer the best of both worlds, with TV and computer combined in one attractive package. The TV includes a digital receiver for all those Freeview channels, and the screen is one of Sony’s super-high resolution X-black LCDs. A 300GB hard drive should provide plenty of space for all your documents, as well as your photos, music and recorded TV shows. £1,399; www.sonystyle.co.uk
Apple iPod nano
If you liked the design of the old iPod mini, you’re in luck, because the new iPod nano sports a similar style, including that more matte finish. And, most importantly, like the mini, the nano now comes in a selection of colours (pictured). It’s even thinner than the original, has a brighter screen and is available in 2GB, 4GB and 8GB sizes (that’s room for up to 2,000 tunes). £99-£169; www.apple.com/uk
