 1.3 Are all gadgets useful?

Gadget World
Hundreds of brilliant gadgets at amazing prices!

These are our three top gadgets this month.

The UE Boom 2 is a small speaker with a really big sound! It’s about
the size of a can of drink, so you can carry it with you easily and
enjoy listening to your music. It’s round, so the sound comes out in
all directions. It’s powerful enough to fill a large room with music, so
you can have a party wherever you are! It’s made of strong plastic, so
it’s OK if you drop it and it’s also waterproof, so you can use it at the A
beach or in the shower. And the battery lasts for fifteen hours.
Do you sometimes forget to charge your phone? Well, why not buy
some EnSoles? They look like normal insoles, but they use the power

e
a camera that flies! You wear it on your arm like a watch, so it’s easy
to carry. When you’re ready to take a photo, you let it go and it flies
pl

up into the air. It knows where you are and it can follow you to take
some awesome photos. It then comes back down, you catch it and
put it back on your arm. Simple! The Nixie isn’t available to buy yet,
