Gadgets & Gizmos: Colour e-readers, coffee as a diet aid, spying emails and cubic wombat poo
Share Radio's technology guru Steve Caplin looks at Jaguar's move to electric-only production and Coventry's bid to establish a battery gigafactory. Still with electric, there's more on the modular EV chassis and a Japanese electric oil tanker. He welcomes a colour e-reader, despite the price, and the news video games make you feel better. Coffee, he tells us, helps you burn fat while there's a clever new light in a bike helmet, the revelation that ⅔ of emails contain spy pixels and a suggested use for wombats' ability to poo cubically.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Can miners restore the FTSE yield and is inflation returning?
Russ Mould, Investment Director of A J Bell asks whether, in the light of the increase in mining company dividends, the miners can dig the FTSE 100 out of its dividend hole, particularly given the cautious dividend stance exhibited by Barclays. He discusses the cyclical nature of the mining sector and wonders if its strength, and the strength of so many commodities, might be an indicator of inflation expectations.
