Did You Get Any Cool Gadgets This Christmas?

December 28, 2009 10:04:09 AM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums

Well Christmas is unfortunately over, and I have been reading about all the gadgets and goodies that people received.  I bought quite a few games over the past week, but I did take the gift cards I received and bought a PS3.  I really didn’t get it just for the games, but we needed a media outlet for the master bedroom TV, and the blu-ray and Netflix streaming would be well worth it. 

What gadgets did you acquire over the holiday?

Does a waffle-iron count as a cool gadget?  I do think waffles are pretty cool.  [e digicons]:w00t:[/e]

I got the first set of Futurama Heavyweights. It has Bender in it so does it count as "Gadget"?

Well, I got a polo short, am positive that is not a gadget but my wife got a blender. My younger son got one of those digital cameras for children, now I get too see just how child durable it really is. The under-1-megapixel pictures it takes may be crappy for the price, but to my son they are 12 megapixel pictures from a $500 camera, till he throws it around that is. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

Tax Time will be my gadget time as I seek to get myself a WD TV Live or which ever equivelent is out that is better at the time.

Wow, never seen anyone put that much money in a giftcard before. $50 has been the most from family and friends, $100 from a company. Not bad.

A wireless mouse shaped like a Ferrari, only trouble is my brain is not fast enough to keep up with it!

Pictures would be nice, never seen this mouse you speak of before.

Christmas for the wife and I was pretty thin this year but the kids got enough stuff to make it OK for everyone.

Miriam's favorite gadget was a Crayola light pen and Gwen's was Crazy Aaron's color-changing Thinking Putty.  Good times for all!

(If anyone wnats to send me their old, broken down gadgets from last year (for the kids) I'll accept them.  )

I got a 7 port USB HUB (It was desperatley needed) and Iomega ScreenPlay TV Link Multimedia Adaptor. The Multimedia adaptor is great. I can watch all my digital movies through a flash drive or portable HD on my HDTV or any TV I plug it into.

I didn't get any gadgets this year--I am that family member who doesn't want anything and is really hard to buy for.   But I did give away an E-reader (a Nook), and a 24" monitor to someone who was using a 14" CRT for their desktop.   I plan to give myself a Verizon Droid before too long.

I got some money, which will be used to help with my Pandora funds. Since it's going to a cool gadget, does that count?

Sony Reader Pocket edition. Since I read at least one book a week, it is super convenient.

I didn't know such a thing existed. Cool.

I like what I got. It's smaller than a blackberry, so very portable. Only bug I have with it is using USB's. If it has software preinstalled, it reads that as a partition and won't read anything other than the 'first' partition. I have to find USBs that have no partitions or software installed.
