For the
grandparents
Who says
lolos
and
lolas
can’t go
techie? Give them a gadget that’ll
allow them to do something they
love, such as getting in touch with
family or reading a book,
and they’ll surely jump on
the digital bandwagon
A special connection
Make it easier for the grandparents to
stay in touch with loved ones by giving
them a dual-SIM smartphone, and the
HTC Desire V is clearly the best option.
It also has a 4in WVGA screen that’s
easy on the eyes.
Fiery love
When it comes to e-book readers,
nothing quite comes close to
Amazon’s Kindle family. Their
latest model, the Kindle Fire
HD, promises not just a rich,
full-color reading experience
with its brilliant touchscreen, and
a fantastic audio trip with great
speakers; it will also let your
grandparents connect to your
family easily through Skype HD
video calls, email support, and full
integration with Facebook.

Lolo
rocked his rangefinder back in the ‘50s,
so this classically styled digital camera is
right up his alley. With both analog and digital
interfaces, the Fujifilm X-E1 is easy to use.
Extremely fast focus means those fleeting,
decisive moments can be easily captured.
Dig the old school
These special-edition UrbanEars Plattan Headphones hark
back to the days of bespoke suits and wind-up watches.
Decked out in hand-woven Harris Tweed, these cans come
with a tangle-resistant fabric cord that has a microphone
and switch which can be used with a mobile phone.
