Tektoi

This is my Top Ten Tech Toys for Christmas 2010.  Technology has brought us lots of goodies since last Christmas.  It was difficult to pick just ten.  Let me know which ones you’re eyeing and what gadget you thought should have made the cut.  Also, before you get too critical, the list isn’t sorted by influence or impact so go easy ;)

The Kindle

This new ebook reader has been packing a punch in the past few months.  It’s a great gift for the gadgeteer who isn’t quite ready for a tablet but would love to take their books with them on the go
 

IPod Touch

This is currently the second most requested item by teenagers surveyed in the past two weeks.  The sleek design, dual cameras, apps and the ability to browse the web makes you almost forget that this thing started out as just an mp3 player.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab

Stylishly the most popular android based tablet currently on the market, the 7inch design is small enough to sneak into any situation.  From watching movies to playing angry birds, the Galaxy gets the job done without being cumbersome.

The Flip Ultra HD

I’ve loved the Flip series of video cameras since the Mino.  The HD Ultra gives you the ability to become the next YouTube sensation without breaking the bank!

Kodak Playsport

Imagine being able to use the Flip Ultra HD under water!!  This video camera option is a perfect gift for that geek who’s also an outdoors-man.

Any Android Phone

Let’s face it; blackberry addicts are jumping ship for android and iphone lovers despise android.   And with devices on every carrier across the globe, non-android users are getting curious about the fuss.  With customization options, multi media capabilities and an ever growing app store, any android phone is better than what you have now.

Xbox Kinect

Basically “You Are The Controller”.  Gesture based gaming goes beyond what the Wii and Playstation Move have shown us so far.  Kinect literally lets you get in the game!

Playstation Move

The Playstation Move has the motion controls of the Kinect and the controller functionality of the Wii.  As stated before, motion gaming is the future and now you can do it on the console that already does it all—> your PS3

Nook Color

The Nook is one of my favorite ebook readers.  Running on an android based platform, the Nook gives you access to over 2 million books driven by the Barnes and Noble network.

IPad

The iPad is by far the biggest selling tablet to date with over 4 million sold since launch.   And if you play with one for 10 minutes its not hard understand why.  The feel, features and practicality of the iPad makes it great for any one.  From music to recipes to games to business, this tablet gets the job done for a competitive price.

The Auto Blaster Type B is in fact two guns in one, and if you ever need to “travel” light, you can remove the “Automatic Rubber Gun Chamber” from the top of the gun to get a single shot compact blaster.

Have you picked up Black Ops?  The hype is real!

The charger is made pretty well and is small/light enough to slip into your bag unnoticed. There's something decidedly iPhone-ish about the look of it, I agree, but if the resemblance is the only thing stopping you from buying it, then that's your own personal anti-Apple issue.  Read More...
