   We are back for another Tech Addicts Podcast. This week we mixing cutting-edge gadgets with a generous helping of retro nostalgia. Atari is bringing back its classic 800XL home computer, but is £199 a fair price for a trip down memory lane? We also look at Amazon opening its new Alexa tablets to Google Play, Corsair's enormous Xeneon Edge touchscreen, Anker's latest home backup battery and a new portable music player inspired by the iPod Classic and Microsoft Zune. Plus, there's a new charging dock for the Steam Controller, Oppo's compact Pad Mini tablet is heading global, and Google is discontinuing a Pixel Watch safety feature.
