banner4This morning I spoke with John Blackman and Deaksy on 3GG for Tech Tuesday.

Here’s a run down of what we spoke about.

Let’s start with music and no it’s not an iPod but Sony’s Waterproof walkman.   And the question about how music sounds while you’re doing laps of the pool?  Well the earbuds keep the water out so the music sounds just as it should.  Price tag of around 99 dollars.

For the smart little girl of the house – My Friend Cayla…the Google Connected Doll.   For around $130 dollars you get a doll who not only can read you stories and tell you about herself but hey ask her a question about the population of Paris or where exactly Sydney is.  Used with an iPad App Cayla connects to google to help out with homework or talk celeb gossip.

Entertainment?  Well seeing as the Playstation 4 has just been crowned as the fastest selling home video games console in Australian history it’s a pretty safe bet that everyone in the house will get something out of it.  The console is about the $550 mark but then you’ll need some games too and one I can recommend is a brilliant racing game called Driveclub.

What about Tablet Devices?

The prices of the latest Tablets are a bit scarey but there are great deals around if you don’t mind buying last year’s model…threre’s nothing wrong with say an iPad Air...instead of an iPad Air 2 with a price difference of about 120 dollars.

Or there are some great Windows 8,  7 and 8 inch tablets around now for UNDER $200!
