Got that Gadget?

Home Weather Stations

2006-03-23T15:02:00.000+10:00

Home weather stations are becoming increasingly popular with the release of affordable entry level models.

It is possible to get a wireless weather station including rain and wind gauges for under AUD$200 if you shop around.

For under AUD$400 it is possible to get a weather station with a computer interface so that data can be uploaded for analysis.

Whilst these weather stations are jammed packed with features there are a few things to be cautious about:

- the stations are very sensitive and rely on accurate and precise installation

- the wireless transmission can be affected by interference from other objects and electrical items so it is wise to test the station in various positions before securing it

- most advertise a wind chill factor on their display sensors but this will not register a reading in warmer clients where temperatures do not approach zero

On a positive not they are an excellent way for keeping an eye on local rainfall, humidity, temperature, wind speed and wind direction.

They are great for the gardener, farmer, weather enthusiast, students and the like!

There are many models available now that will speak the displayed text.

Generic iPod Accessories

Would you use them?

Docking Station for under AUD$30

Few gadgets have been as successful as the Apple iPod. They seem to be everywhere these days. The iPod is able to constantly reinvent itself by adopting new names, shapes and features.

So, you finally spend the money on an iPod!

Then you decide a car charger for the iPod might be useful or maybe a set of portable speakers. It is then you see the price of Apple iPod Accessories.

Genuine iPod accessories can be expensive!

BUT

Generic iPod accessories are reasonably priced.

Some people worry about buying generic accessories (not Apple brand) because they think the quality will be poor.

It is not always the case and if you do your homework high quality generic iPod accessories are available at very competitive prices.

One of the drawbacks is that the generic accessories are not always able to keep up with every new iPod release.

So, if you've bought the latest and greatest release you may have to wait a bit before the more affordable generic accessories are available.
