5 Christmas gifts for Gadget lovers…

I am a little late in posting this for this Christmas and many of the things I am going to recommend are probably sold out. However I see top 10 lists all over that list things that I wouldn’t buy so here are 5 gadgets that I could buy. Five because time is running out.

5. – An iPod 80GB classic. You don’t need the 160GB version unless you are going to have a bunch of movies stored on it, however with movies now being released with a digital version this may become more commonplace. Okay go for the 160GB version.

4. – Guitar Hero III – I want this game so bad and I want to be able to play with a friend. After Christmas I think single guitars will be available for the Wii but now you have to buy the one guitar and the game together, so no two player action on the Wii unless you play a friend across a network. You could also rock out with a special faceplate as well.

3. – Kodak Easyshare EX-1011 10-Inch Digital Picture Frame. This frame has the capability of playing MP3s as well as being wireless so you can upload images of your kids in Fresno and they can download to your parent’s frame in Framingham. No mess no fuss. Fun Fun.

2. – The 2GB Wireless SD card from Eye-Fi – This is one amazing feat of technology. Take your photos and when you enter a wireless network they automatically upload to the web to the photo sharing sites of your choice. Then if you buy this with #3 you don’t have to do a thing to get your images out to your friends and family.

1. – Nintendo Wii – The most sought after game system two years running. If you find it buy it. Even if you don’t want it, chances are a friend of yours has been slogging through the malls to find it. You will make their day.

I got my new BlueTooth Headset

Photo-A-Day #963 11/27/07My new BlueTooth Headset arrived in the mail last night. I charged it up for a few minutes and then got it set up with my phone. It worked perfectly. I am so excited that I can finally use my phone again.

My Treo 650 speakers stopped working for me and then the wired headset would work intermittently. I need my phone for work and for communication with Allison so I had to do something. My Verizon contract is up in January and I can’t get a new phone till then. So I have to make do for another month or so, limping and crawling along with my Treo.

But the Plantronics Voyager 510 BlueTooth Headset has been a godsend. First off it synced with my phone, no problem. And now I can make and receive calls easily. Then when I got to work I set up a pairing with my laptop and installed Skype. I’d heard many people talking about it and wanted to see for myself. Skype installed easily and my headset works perfectly. Now I want Bluetooth on my home computer. I’ll have to check it out and see if it does. If not then the next computer will certainly have it.

I’m also really enjoying being able to listen to music through bluetooth. I am connected to iTunes and listening to another person on the network’s playlist through my bluetooth headset. Technology is wicked awesome!!!!
