Fevzi Turkalp, the Gadget Detective, joins Sarah Walker on BBC Radio Berkshire to discuss the latest tech news & reviews. This week; The important Cake of the Week update, plus Twitter is back in the news as the hashtag #RIPTwitter trends following the exodus of so many staff as Elon Musk lays down the law, 

First Gadget of the Week is the Google Pixel Watch LTE. The first smartwatch from Google features a curved and rounded display with Gorilla Glass 5, exercise and sleep tracking (thanks to Google's acquisition of Fitbit), an SOS emergency function, GPS map navigation, wireless payment, email and calendar integration, app compatibility, 6 months of Fitbit Premium subscription, 2 sizes of strap supplied, and more. Available in cellular and non-cellular versions, it scored 4 out of 5. Full details in the show.

Second Gadget of the Week is the Toneboosters Flowtones Virtual Analog Synth. This softsynth is available for iPad and desktop and offers a stunning range of tones, including voice like tones thanks to formant modelling. Definitely one to consider for all the musicians out there. Full details, and a demo of the sound quality, in the show!
