This techie wants more than his two front teeth for Christmas
I thought it would be fun to put together a list of the top 10 technology gadgets I would like for Christmas. When viewing this list, keep a couple of things in mind. For starters, I already have a bunch of cool technology gadgets like TiVo and a Flip video camera so this list isn’t necessarily what I think are the top 10 technology gifts this holiday season. Rather, it’s a list of the gadgets I would like to have that I don’t already have.
Also, I’m not really this material of a person or at least I try not to be. Love and happiness for my family would top my real Christmas list. But I thought some of my readers might get a kick out of seeing what a techie like me would put on his technology gadget Christmas list. So, without further ado, here is my list.
Top 10 Technology Gadgets on Mr. Noobie’s Christmas List:
10. Blu-ray DVD player – I’m not 100% sold on Blu-ray or even convinced it is going to survive but I think it would be fun to watch some of my favorite action movies in full 1080p resolution. | |
9. Slingbox Pro-HD – I’ve help other people set up a Slingbox but I’d love to have one of my own so I could watch my TiVo recordings anywhere. | |
8. Kindle – The Kindle would be closer to the top of the list if it just looked cooler. I still say Amazon should have let Apple design the Kindle. Either way, I’d like to get my hands on one just to try it out. | |
7. iPhone 3G – I was an early adopter of the original iPhone buying it the day it was released. Now all of my friends have the new cool 3G one. | |
6. MacBook Pro – Apple makes some fantastic looking laptops and this one is no exception. Too bad they cost so much. | |
5. Apple TV – High definition movie rentals downloaded straight to my television. Awesome. | |
4. Flat panel television with full 1080p resolution – Again, I was an early adopter and at the time, full 1080p resolution wasn’t available in the screen size I wanted. Now it is. | |
3. Digital picture frame – Oddly enough, I don’t have one of these. Just never got around to getting one. | |
2. Rock Band for the Wii – I played this at my sister’s house over Thanksgiving and instantly fell in love. And my singing voice could use a little practice. | |
1. Digital SLR – I’m ready to make the leap to a digital SLR. Once you’ve seen the pictures these cameras take you may never want another point-and-shoot again. |
Santa, are you listening?
