Technology Gadget Gift Guide

Technology Gadget Gift Guide
By · October 25, 2010October 29, 2020
01
Jawbone Icon

The latest upgrade of Jawbone is the Icon and is by far the most advanced Bluetooth headset on the market today. The Icon is smaller and more comfortable than ever before, and has six different finishes for the diva to select from — from subtle to sleek. $120.

02
Sony Alpha NEX-3

This tiny cam has the heart of a DSLR, yet measures in at half of the size and weight. The interchangeable lens allows for the versatility of a “professional” camera, yet perfect for storing in your purse. It also comes in a jazzy red, which the digital diva in your life will totally appreciate. $599.

03
Garmin Nuvi 3790T

A truly hands-free set, this portable navigation system is voice activated and pairs with Bluetooth technology to allow for hands free calling. Safety first! $449.

04
Tascam DR-08 Digital Linear PCM Recorder

This impressive audio recorder allows for crystal clear sound captures — whether in the board room or over a conference call — by utilizing tiltable twin microphones. This linear recorder is one inch thick and weighs less than a deck of cards. $199.

05
Kodak M590

With one click of the “Share” button, Kodak’s 5x optical zoom M590 camera lets you instantly post your best pictures directly to your social networking sites. $200.

06
46” Sony NSX-46GT1 Internet TV

Powered by Google TV, Sony’s latest line of hi-def 1080p LCD TVs blur the line between display and desktop, by allowing users to watch their favorite shows while simultaneously tweeting or surfing the web on the same screen. $1,400.

07
HP Mini 210

Customizable inside and out, this HP’s netbook measures less than one inch thick, features a 10” display, full QWERTY keyboard and webcam. $280.

08
Skullcandy Roc Nation Aviator

Available in three colors, this over ear headphone features a seamlessly integrated mic control for listen to music and speaking on smart phones. $150.

09
Solio Rocsta H1000 Hybrid Solar Charger

When spending the day in the great outdoors, whether at a BBQ or hiking, no self-respecting techie can go without juice for their tools. This solar charger is just seven inches long, less than a half inch thick, and two inches wide, so it’s super easy to travel with. When the iPhone is drained, just lay out the charger and recharge your battery. Can’t be beat. $47.

10
Microsoft Kinect

Forget wireless. Microsoft’s newest console add-on is completely controller free, allowing the player to control the game with their movements. $300.

Available in an array of colors, Apple’s tiny multi-touch screen MP3 player stores songs, videos and apps, for movers and shakers with limited carrying space. $149.

Dash is the alarm clock of the future, with 1,500 apps, including Facebook and Twitter, and all of your personalized news, weather and sports.
