There’s no better time than a new school year to take inventory of the gadgets in our lives that help us stay smart, connected and entertained. Tech Expert and Emmy Award TM winning show host, Katie Linendoll offers a sneak peek at some powerful “must-have” tech that’s small enough to fit in a backpack.
Katie’s “must-haves” include:
- Fit 100 million items in your pocket with Fire phone – the first smart phone from Amazon, with Firefly Technology that lets you quickly find phone numbers, web addresses and more than 100 million movies, TV shows, songs and products.
- Get the popcorn ready with Fire TV — play, rent or buy from your favorite subscriptions and streaming services through this tiny box that includes a voice search that will put an end to “hunting and pecking.”
- Do it all with the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 tablet — work on the go with its email, calendar and office suite or play games and watch movies in pristine HD. Lightweight and super fast!
- Never be without a book with Kindle Paperwhite – an indispensible reading device for kids and adults – with a massive selection of books at low prices or library books, it’s the official e-reader of the National PTA.
