Mother's Day is just around the corner in the UK (Sunday the 3rd of April to be exact) and, if you're anything like me, it's going to be a last minute dash to the shops to pick up something she'd like. Chocolates, flowers and a Michael Bublé CD are the staple gift choices, but what if Mum deserves something a little bit more adventurous this year? Gadgets are increasingly being tailored towards technophobic users with kit like the Kindle 3G, iPad 2 and Nintendo 3DS now billed as family devices rather than just for hardcore users.
And while we're sure there are plenty of mothers out there who know their way around a smartphone or tablet like the back of their hands, there are just as many who think an iPad is something you get from an optician. How will you know which gadgets would be suitable for them?
By following the advice of Tech Digest's Mum, that's how! Falling somewhere between the gadget-phobic and gadget-literate categories, we put five top bits of tech into Bernadette's hands (a Nintendo 3DS, an iPhone 4, a Kindle 3G, a Robert's colourSTREAM DAB and Internet Radio and an iPad 2) to see which device she'd most like to own.
Left on her own with each device for an hour, with only minimal input from us tech-heads, read on to see what she thought of each.
