FATHER’S DAY GADGETS

Surprise your husband with these gifts of love.

	THE YOUTUBE DIRECTOR He’s been taking videos since Junior’s birth, so he’ll love the feature-packed Canon Legria HF M41. It records videos in full HD 1920 x 1080, lets him upload online fast, and has a Story Creator mode with tips on the type of scenes he should take to capture a holiday or party. $1,449 from authorised dealers.
	THE TRENDSETTER He’ll turn heads at meetings with the HTC Flyer, a seven-inch tablet that’s as light as a paperback and compact enough to store in his jacket pocket. He’ll like its Timemark function, which records a meeting in audio, as he scribbles down notes with the attached pen – tapping on a word brings him to the same place in the recording. Its suggested retail price is $1,068, from mobile operators and authorised dealers.
	THE DESIGN CONNOISSEUR Don’t buy him just any TV; go for the uber-sleek Sony Bravia HX925 Series LCD. Beyond its good looks, it boasts full HD picture quality, is 3-D capable and has Sony’s Motionflow XR 800, which creates sharper moving images. It’s got integrated Wi-fi and is Skype-ready. Available in 46-, 55- and 65-inch screen sizes this month (prices not confirmed at press time).
