With Xzibit nowhere to be seen, and Virgin products-galore, the only conclusion that could be reached is that the folks over at Virgin Media are responsible for this super-pimped gadget lovers’ dream holiday destination.
Whilst experiencing these warmer-than-usual UK climes, Virgin Media took a simple beach hut (10ft by 8ft) in West Sussex and installed 15 top techy must-haves. Television presenter and technology queen Suzi Perry, popped along to check them out:
- Virgin Media Tivo Box
- Virgin Media Broadband Superhub
- Sonos wireless hi-fi system
- The Firewinder Mini (wind-powered lighting)
- Samsung 3D TV
- Xbox 360 Kinect
- Gamescom Headset
- Nikon Sportstar Ex Binoculars
- Oregon Complete Home Weather Station
- Nikon AW 100 camera
- iPad
- Oregon Handheld UV Monitor
- Portable Audio Laboratory +
- MEEP! Children's Tablet
- and Suzi's favourite - the Bubblescope, a smart phone lens attachment
"As more of us are embracing ‘stay-cations’, spending time at the beach has become an integral part of British family holidays," said Perry. "I think gadget-enhanced huts like this will become increasingly desirable, as it means the whole family will be entertained - whether there’s rain or shine, or simply just to keep in touch with friends and family while away from home."
