Fevzi Turkalp, the Gadget Detective, joins Bill Buckley on BBC Berkshire to bring the latest tech news and reviews. This week; should UK government ministers be communicating over Whatsapp, a product owned by a foreign company, Meta (the company behind Facebook) and of unknown security, and should they be allowed to use communication apps which automatically delete messages?

First Gadget of the Week is the Xencelabs Pen Tablet Medium Bundle. This graphic tablet is ideal for artists and content creators but can be used by anybody. Replacing or used alongside your mouse or touchpad, this looks like a mousepad on which you draw with a pressure sensitive stylus, of which two are supplied, allowing for far better control in art and photo editing software. This bundle also includes a separate puck featuring 8 programmable buttons with an OLED screen which, when combined with the jog wheel, allows for 40 actions to be customised, great for productivity. If you buy the bundle from the company directly you also get the superb Rebelle 6 Pro, one of the best natural media art programmes available, featuring highly realistic watercolours, oils, pastels and a lot more.

Second Gadget of the Week is the Arturia Minilabs 3. This USB controller keyboard is great for musicians and composers, offering a two octave keyboard along with banks of knobs, sliders, and pads, and comes with a softsynth featuring hundreds of sounds replicating many of the classic synths. Scoring an excellent 4.5 stars, more details in the show.
