Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "OFF-TOPIC" @ 01:00 AM
The BBC reports that: "Gadget lovers will need a healthy bank balance if they want to own this year's must-have technology, according to Stuff Magazine. Its top ten gadgets for 2004 will set the keen gadgeteer back a hefty £8,420. " 8O OK, that's UK prices mind, but still!
Those Top Ten Gadgets were: "Bluetooth Mobile (Nokia 6600), MP3 Jukebox (Apple iPod), Plasma Screen (Pioneer PDP-434HDE), Home Cinema (Pioneer NS-DV990), Personal Video Recorder (Sky+), Digital Camera (Pentax Optio S4), Games Console (Microsoft Xbox), Wi-fi Laptop (Sony Vaio), Wireless Network (Netgear), Watch (Seiko Arctura Kinetic)." So, the is kit for someone that enjoys having their visual and aural senses massaged & who does not get out much? :lol:
This bit is interesting however. "In contrast, the palmtop computer has dropped off the list for the first time in five years as other PC-connected gadgets fulfil the same function, with added benefits such as playing music and e-mailing. Wireless technologies such as Bluetooth and wi-fi laptops continue to increase in popularity, with Nokia's Bluetooth-enabled handset the number one must-have gadget. " Mmmmmm, Bluetooth! :wink:
So, does their top ten list match yours? What are your thoughts on PDAs dropping out of their annual list? :?:
