Triona's Tech Tips

Each holiday season I try to give you some fun and innovative gift ideas. These aren’t paid ads, they’re simply gadgets I’ve run across that I think you might like.

One of my favorites this year is the ioSafe Solo, a hard drive built to resist water and fire. It has a large capacity and is a great choice for a backup drive in case of a business disaster. www.iosafe.com

I also like the NovoThink surge, an iPhone case that includes a hybrid solar charger. www.novothink.com

Mobile mavens may enjoy the Verizon MiFi 2200, which offers WiFi access via Verizon’s 3G network. No more searching for hotspots! www.verizonwireless.com

For the graphic designer on your list there’s ColorMunki, which helps maintain consistent color across all of your software and devices. It’s great for anyone who needs exact color matching for advertising or other purposes. www.xrite.com

Finally, clean your computer with the DataVac Electric Duster from Metrovac. This handy tool replaces canned air products with a cordless fan designed for use on computers and other electronics. www.metrovacworld.com
