Great Gadgets Under Rs 2,000

The best things in life are free, it is said. Gadgets were once known as the privilege of the rich. Technology has been a such a leveller that what kings and presidents of the richest countries couldn't have just a few decades ago, is now the hands of all across the economic spectrum. Here is are a few great gadgets I found that perform just as well, priced under Rs 2,000

Trace Smartband by Noise
If you wanted to keep track of your heartbeat, no. of steps, sleep patterns etc but the price of Fitbit and other premium brands kept you postponing having your own smartband Trace Smartband comes at a bargain price of under Rs.1,500.

It measures the intensity and duration of physical activity over the course of a normal day, whether you are at home, in the gym, at work or in your free time. It counts the steps and calculates the calories burnt. It also keeps you connected with notifications from your smartphone. Besides it also acts as a sweet sleep manager, monitors your sleep quality and sleep time.

It's also one of the cheapest yet effective fitness smartbands I have discovered so far that comes with a display and features for under Rs 1,500.

Sandisk Connect Wireless Stick - Wireless Flash Drive
While we are living in a wireless world, yet the local storage has been far from wireless. You either mount the usb or connect it through wires. As an alternative to carrying wires and having local storage on the go, Sandisk Wireless Stick proves just the apt solution.

SanDisk Connect Wireless Stick works with your computer, phone and tablet. You can wirelessly access your media or transfer large files, stream HD videos and music, and save and share photos and videos to and from your mobile device.

Stream simultaneously to 3 devices
As an added bonus this device even lets you stream videos or music to as many as three other devices at the same time. Sandisk Connect Wireless Stick of 16GB capacity comes for around Rs.1800 in online shopping sites.

Interestingly Sandisk recently launched a wireless stick with 200GB storage. Now that's a great storage.

iBall Glint BT06 - Bluetooth headset
If you are a tech savvy music lover these headphones come with easy connectivity without any distortion to mobile phones or laptop letting you take your pick of connectivity whether wireless, micro sd or wired 3.5mm plugin aux input.

As an added novelty there are rhythmic LED effects on both ear cups. The headset comes with a built in FM. The micro SD playback is a great way of storing and playing your own music bank.

Priced at Rs 1,499 it's almost a 50 per cent to a 100 per cent cheaper than some of the other brands.
