Hot Tech Items this Christmas (2007)

Note: This article was published while I was in my early 20s. I was much younger and dumber. Please don't hold it against me. One of the perils of having a 20+ year old website!
Nintendo Wii

With just about two weeks until Christmas, I am getting some questions about what fun tech toys would make good Christmas gifts. So here are a few things I feel will be a hit this holiday season.

Nintendo Wii
Over a year after it’s release, Wii is still selling very well and is almost impossible to find. It’s a fun system to play and there are games for everyone. And with new and upcoming releases like Mario Galaxy, Mario Striker Charged and Super Smash Brothers Brawl, who could pass it up?
iPod Touch
While I am not a fan of the iPod or Apple in general, the iPod Touch will be a hot item this year. It’s an iPod with internet capalbilities so you can download music right to your iPod. Or check your email. Or sports scores. Or the weather. You get the picture. As for me, I have my sights set on a new Zune.
HD Player
As prices drop for both HD DVD and Blu-Ray players, these should be a pretty hot item this year. I personally am a fan of HD DVD because of it’s backwards compatibility with DVDs and the fact that it’s supported by Xbox with the HD DVD Player drive. I though I guess it comes down to the movies and tv shows HD DVD and Blu-Ray have to offer.

    I’ve been listening to a lot more classical music lately. My wife said recently, “The older I get, the less interested I am in lyrics.” I wouldn’t go that far, but it is nice to have beautiful, lyric-less music on while you work or read. The Apple Classical Music app dropped today and I’m not…

    I Bought, and Kept, the Soundcore Sleep A20 Earbuds by Anker

    Back in January, I wrote about how I Bought, and Returned, the Ozlo Sleepbuds.

The TL;DR of that post is that they are an incredibly disappointing product…
