Home is where the chargers are

There is only one way to survive gridlock, public transport or airports and that is with some soothing – or not – music from home. Make sure you don’t run out of juice for your iPhone or iPod with the Kensington Charging dock, which will charge your device and mini-battery pack simultaneously. For $89.95 the charger will extend play time up to 30 hours of music, six hours of video or three hours of talk.

Sportsfans will be cheering with the release of the second-generation Motionflow Bravia Z5500 LCD TV from Sony – available in 52-inch, 46-inch and 40-inch. While most images on television are created by showing a quick sequence of still images, the Motionflow technology creates up to three extra frames for every original shot – perfect for watching replays of the 2008 AFL grand final over and over again.

You’ll need to keep track of your family has much as your growing wealth. Canon has added movie features to its digital SLR line with the release of the EOS 500D. With a 15.1 megapixel CMOS sensor, the new model features all the bells and whistles that made its predecessors (400D and 450D for example) so popular.
