Now that there are 4 Drifta devices on the market it can be a little confusing as to which one to buy. The assumption often can be that each new one is better than the last, and this is definitely no the case. In truth, though each is slightly different in size and shape, they all provide the same functionality (mostly), same picture quality, and where they have a battery, similar battery life. The choice really comes down to which devices you want to use the Drifta with. The table below summarises this. Click on the device name for link to a full review.

	Walka	Drifta (WiFi)	USB Drifta	iDrifta
Standalone	Yes	No	No	No
iPad/Phone/Touch*3	No	Yes	No	Yes*3
Windows PC	No	Yes	Yes	No
Mac	No	Yes	Yes	No
Blackberry	No	Partial*1	No	No
Android	No	Yes*2	No	No

*1 There are limited devices which are supported by Blackberry and this support is Beta only. Be careful, newer Blackberry devices are not supported. (Link here to supported devices)

*2 Android support is also not universal, it is device specific. Many devices are supported but check before you buy. (Link here to supported devices)

*3 If your iDevice is jailbroken you will play Cat and Mouse with DSTV as by default the application won’t work. With a little help from a friend it will work on current versions (and some past versions) but going forward there are no guarantees it will work. (Link to jailbreak information here)
