5 essential gifts for the gadget lover

We all know someone who loves ‘gadgets’, and there are a wonderful range of technological goodies on the market that would make perfect gifts this Christmas. Whether the gadget lover is a music fan or a devoted FaceBooker, there are a few ‘must haves’ on the list this year:

IPod Nano

The Apple bandwagon rolls on with the updated IPod Nano. Coming in a range of colours, the design has been altered slightly to give the new Nano a more ergonomic outline. Battery life and storage space has been upgraded, making the Nano one of the top sellers this Christmas. Nanos come with a range of additional features and are certain to delight any gadget lover as a present on Christmas morning.

Sony Reader PRS-505

Is the printed book dead? The Sony Reader may just herald the beginning of a new age in how we read the latest novel. The updated version allows direct downloads of E-books from Sony Connect, and is lightweight and has a large screen, making it much easier to use comfortably. As publishing shifts more towards E-book technology, the Sony Reader could give you a library in your pocket wherever you go.

Apple MacBook

The MacBook has revolutionised laptops. Light, portable and very easy to use, the MacBook has rapidly taken the lead as the laptop of choice for gadget fans. Although light, its robust, aluminium shell protects the MacBook far more than the average plastic shell on most laptops. It has 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of memory, 250GB hard drive, and an NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor. As well as a Multi-Touch trackpad, it also has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1 and a five-hour battery life – everything a gadget lover could wish for. And it looks good!

Digispeed 4 Ultra rechargeable battery charger

Any gadget fan knows the frustration of dead batteries in their favourite gadget, rendering it useless. Disposable batteries are expensive, particularly the long life or Lithium versions so any gadget fan worth their salt wants the ultimate rechargeable setup. The Digispeed 4 Ultra can recharge one to four AAA or AA NiCd or NiMH batteries in just a few minutes (depending on the capacity of the batteries). It also displays the individual charging status of each battery. Other features include temperature safety cut off, faulty cell detection, trickle charging, safety timer and protection against reverse polarity. If your gadget fan opens a present on Christmas morning that requires batteries, a rechargeable battery charger is a gift that will be appreciated!

The PowerStar Go emergency portable device charger

It doesn’t matter if your gadget fan has the latest Motorola or an old Nokia – there is nothing worse than a dead mobile phone battery when you’re waiting for an important call or text. The PowerStar Go emergency charger is the perfect gift for a gadget fan that is permanently attached to their mobile phone. The little case holds the key to power at home, at work, on the move…anywhere you need it! Charge the PowerStar Go from the mains, a PC or in-car and use the range of supplied connectors to power all your portable devices again and again – anytime, anywhere. If your gadget fan already has a clutch of high-tech goodies, The PowerStar Go is the gift of choice this Christmas
