Tech Q&A: Niret Alva

I use a Blackberry Javelin. It's compact, smart and does what you tell it to. Its predictive text is fabulous and I love the QWERTY keyboard.

What mobile phone do you use and what do you like most about it?

I use a Blackberry Javelin. It's compact, smart and does what you tell it to. Its predictive text is fabulous and I love the QWERTY keyboard.

The desktop or laptop that you use at home/office? Why did you choose it?

A 13-inch Macbook, almost the newest one. Have got used to Mac and being a creature of habit, I like the way the 'iPod' syncs with it, and how idiot-proof it is. It almost never hangs and asks you lots of questions about what you want to do before doing it. I am a Mac person when it comes to my computer.

Any other gadget that you use a lot or particularly like and why?

I love my battered iPod as a backup for my laptop and to listen to music. Once again, the iPod is remarkably functional, has incredible applications and I still can't get over how much you can put onto a device so physically small.

The next gizmo you plan to buy?

Nothing at the moment. I use my gizmos until they don't work anymore. Still, I wouldn't mind upgrading my sound system that merges with my TV at home. I am still shopping.

The gadget/gizmo that you're not too happy with and regret buying?

Bought an extremely expensive world radio in Holland at a duty-free shop, which was supposed to give you radio everywhere. It just didn't work like I thought. Felt terribly cheated. This was way back in 1993, but I still feel bad.
