Series 12 Episode 11

On TV Monday 12 October 2009

This week on The Gadget Show Suzi Perry and Jason Bradbury go head-to-head in a full-on Phone Application battle! Their challenge is to design a popular and successful App for a mobile phone. The market leader, the Apple App store, has a whopping 75,000 apps available. It’s a massive, growing market for Suzi and Jason to try and break into - who will notch up the most downloads after 1 month? Also, car-lover Jon Bentley looks at the extraordinary gadgetry that’s loaded into modern cars aimed at making them a lot safer and easier to drive. To find out if all that tech is actually necessary, he sends writer and presenter, Danny Wallace out on to a race track in a spectacular £100,000, 518 brake horse power, Audi R8 V10 supercar to see how the car performs without it! And finally, Ortis Deley meets up with Radio One DJ Greg James to test a mountain of headphones and give their verdict of what are the Top 5 currently on the market.
