Stuck for Christmas gift ideas for that techie in your life? Well you’d better get a move on because there’s only a couple of weeks left until the big day.<\/p>\n
With so many different tech gadgets available it’s hard to find that perfect gift. Also the harder you look the more things you discover that you’ve never even heard of before.<\/p>\n
We’ve compiled a list of ten of our favourite tech gadgets to try and help. Below is a range of ideas aimed at people of all ages and interests, so hopefully there’s something here to inspire you. <\/p>\n
Cozmo completely blew us away when we tested it this year. A charming and intelligent robotic sidekick that explores, remembers and reacts to his environment – and to you. Challenge him to games, or turn on explorer mode to see things from Cozmo’s perspective. Unlock new games and upgrades the more you play. More advanced users can even take advantage of the Cozmo SDK and write scripts in Python to allow more advanced interactions. Requires a compatible iOS or Android device and the free Cozmo app. [brid video=”184538″ player=”531″ title=”Introducing Cozmo”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n One of our favourite tech toys again makes this year’s list. Anki Overdrive<\/a> brings videogame racing to life with robotic cars and physical tracks. It’s Scalextric but updated with all the latest technology. A huge variety of tracks can be created in seconds thanks to the magnetic track pieces. More complex tracks are also possible by adding extra packs to your starter kit. Watching the cars race around tracks you have created is mesmerising. Best of all is that you can use your smart phone or tablet to control the speed, track position and weapons to do battle with the AI cars and other players. This year there’s a new Fast and Furious edition<\/a> which is based on the film. <\/p>\n Check out our Anki Overdrive review<\/a> and Anki Overdrive Supertrucks review<\/a> to see what we thought. [brid video=”82727″ player=”531″ title=”Anki OVERDRIVE Official Launch Party”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The best smartwatch on the planet is now on its third version. Packed full of features and there’s loads of apps to choose from to extend its functionality. This third version is much quicker with better battery life. There’s built in Apple Music and Radio streaming, Siri now talks and the device is also waterproof allowing you to get it wet and even take it swimming. There’s a choice of GPS or GPS+Cellular versions. Requires an iPhone.
