Picking the perfect present can be a daunting task but here are a few ideas for Christmas presents with a technological edge.

The new iPod comes with a video camera and FM radio.

Digital media seems to be here to stay. Long gone are the days of taking photos to the chemist and having them developed, putting them in an album or frame and giving them as gifts.

These days digital is all the rage. Most people now have a digital camera but don't know how important it is to store those precious memories.

Everybody talks about "backing up" your photos, but who actually does it? And did you realise that should your computer fail, it could cost you thousands of dollars to retrieve those memories?

You can purchase an external hard drive that automatically backs up all the files on your computer including photos, videos, music and documents.

You can even play them back on your TV at home if you wish.

Most people now have ADSL, and for less than $100 you can buy a wireless router that will enable your entire household to access wireless internet.

PlayStation 3 is great for playing full high-definition Blu-ray movies, and has 120GB of hard disk space and, of course, you can also play games.

Digital photo frames are a great gift idea at a reasonable price. You can have a constant stream of photos on display for family and visitors to see.
