Now help is at hand in the form of health professionals for CE and IT devices.<P>Gizmo is a brand new CE and IT support service that has been launched in Sydney. Their primary objective is to deliver health care for new and sick devices. <BR>The Gizmo service provides help in setting up and maintaining computer systems, home networking, peripherals and media\/entertainment centres. <\/P><P>Gizmo is initially providing in-home service in the Sydney metropolitan area, with telephone assistance available nationwide. The in-home service is set to be expanded across Australia over the next 12 months based on the success of the service in the Sydney market.<\/P><P>Similar to the Geek Squad in the USA Gizmo has a team of qualified, technicians with knowledge of digital technology. <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=4 align=left border=0><TBODY><TR><TD width=420 height=250><A onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/smartoffice.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/articleimages\/20060808123131be968.jpg', 'foo', 'width=400, height=611, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes');\" href=\"javascript:;\"><IMG src=\"http:\/\/smartoffice.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/articleimages\/20060808123131be968_420x250.jpg\" border=0><\/A><BR>Click to enlarge<\/FONT><\/TD><\/TR><\/TBODY><\/TABLE><\/P><P>&#8220;The growth of broadband and multiple devices in the home is resulting in increasingly sophisticated home technology, such as wireless networking,&#8221; said Brett Chenoweth, Gizmo&#8217;s CEO. &#8220;Gizmo can help people deal with these issues so that they can enjoy more of their personal time while getting the most out of their digital devices.&#8221; <BR>&#8220;The Gizmo vision is to remove the frustrations and complexity of technology and open our customers up to a world of new ideas, experiences and opportunities. We love technology, we&#8217;ve read the manuals and we&#8217;re serious about making technology fun and simple,&#8221; Brett added. <\/P><P>Recent GfK Group research1 shows that 77 percent of Australians now have more than eight digital devices in their homes. &#8220;Many people are linking these devices together via broadband and networking, creating a new and growing level of complexity in household technology,&#8221; said Angus Macaskill, an analyst at GfK Group, highlighting that nearly 50 percent of people have installation issues with technology such as wireless routers. &#8220;A service such as Gizmo, that enables Australians to manage their home technology challenges, is very timely,&#8221; he said. <\/P><P>Gizmo allows people to select from a list of service packages designed specifically to address the diverse needs of home technology and digital devices. Home service visits are priced2 at a flat rate and range from $120 to $240 depending on the service required while over the phone service is a flat $60 (support that requires less than ten minutes costs only $20). Additionally, Gizmo offers a &#8216;no fix, no fee&#8217; guarantee. <\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Computers and CE devices have become so crucial to our lives that when they go wrong it becomes a stressful event to fix them.
