The Crayola ColorStudio HD pairs a digital stylus with a free iPad app, letting kids get creative on Apple's tablet without getting felt tip marks down the sofa, or worse; your slate's screen itself.

The Harry Potter wizarding saga is brought to a close this weekend with the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 in cinemas.

REVIEW: Klipsch HD Theater 500 5.1 speakers
No matter what the brand or size, buyers of a flatscreen TV have to be ready for pretty woeful audio quality from nearly every set.
