From povvo student to oil tycoon, we've got all budgets covered this week, offering up a selection of cheapo phones before discussing an AU$1,650 keyboard. And with the Olympics just around the corner, it's time to get prepped with some serious and very official tech gear.

Bringing da noise, bringing da funky gadget talk are CNET.com.au's Ella Morton and the vocally valiant Cam St.Clair, with Ty "1080p" Pendlebury making things faster, higher and stronger with his Olympic oratory.

Each week we bring you a bunch of chatter on the latest news, cool products, and burning issues in the gadget world. The show goes out on radio on Wednesdays from 10pm, or 8pm for the WA dwellers. To see if there's a station near you, visit TheRadio.com.au. You can also listen online from 10pm via the Sea FM website.
