Got yourself an iPod Touch? Well now you can download Google Maps from iTunes which will allow you to access Google Maps on the move and pinpoint where you are on the map. GPS whilst having your tunes! It works particularly well in high-density places such as Singapore where wi-fi availability is high.

Bought an iPod Video 30GB in HK recently for £145, when they cost around £190 in the UK.

Being slightly anal about being ripped off I looked at www.appleclub.com.hk/buy/reseller.html figuring that if Apple have allowed them to be authorised resellers then it would be safe to buy there.

To be fair I could have just chosen any branch of Fortress or Broadway, which are the HK versions of Comet and Currys. Also, as in the UK, it is not worth shopping round for iPod's as the price difference is nominal to non existent.

Do beware the 'Bait and Switch' Scam in independent electronic shops where they show you the real item before switching it for a counterfeit product.

One final warning for the other techno-geeks out these is DON'T be taken in by shops offering Duty Free prices as there is no Duty on electronics in HK.

Probably one of the largest expanses of gadget heaven on planet Earth. Think of anything electronic and you'll find it here. The current sterling/yen exchange rate also means that you'll pay around 15-20% less here (maybe a bit more if you bring your passport with you to get a further 5% off as a tax-free purchase).

On the Yamanote line (and others) two stops north of JR Tokyo station. For a preview of one of the biggest stores go to www.yodobashi.com (Japanese language only unfortunately).
