RED APPLE USB DRIVE: $66. There are loads of ways to store information - but not many nearly as cute as this. Small in size and cute as a button, this Red Apple USB drive allows for 8GB of storage and comes with a strap so it can easily double as a cool keyring.
GENIUS KIDS DESIGNER USB DRAWING & LEARNING TABLET: $99. This tablet is a great way to get young ones learning. Just plug into your PC and away they go with a range of learning, creativity and games software. They are able to paint, draw, write and play games with the pen interface specially designed for little hands. The games help develop your child's logic, maths, memory, shapes, colours and memory abilities. Available from Warehouse Stationery.
SONY POCKET E-READER: $299. You shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but you can judge Sony's new e-Reader in lots of different ways. It has a 5-inch screen and is lightweight at 155g. It can store up to 1200 ebooks. It avoids files getting lost in translation because it supports many different formats. It has 12 built-in dictionaries. Its E Ink paper-like screen gives great reading even in sunlight. Check it out and come to your own verdict at sony.co.nz
AVIATOR FLIGHT STICK: By Saitek, $99.99. If you're a gamer who has their own Top Gun plaque on the wall, you'll love this new way to rule the digital skies. The Aviator gives flight-sims extra pop, with extreme accuracy and a higher level of control. Any budding Mavericks will find this an exceptional way to take to the virtual air. Only for PlayStation 3 and PC. Available from firstgames.co.nz
TRACKMAN MARBLE: By Logitech, $69.90. No it's not an alien rocket ship, just one damn stylish computer peripheral.
