Gizmos & Gadget for the Holidays!

So it's time for the Holiday shopping? Here are a few cool gizmos I was impressed by:

  • VUDU: is a large capacity storage box (very slick in design) that lets you store and instantly view films from any TV. Pros: easy to take with you to your aunt's house to watch your favorite movies and avoid her asking you when will you finally marry someone. No PC necessary and connects to any TV. Cons: Requires an internet connection (at least 2.2Mbps for instant viewing). Price: $399 for the box and rentals range from $0.99 to $3.99, and purchased movies range from $4.99 to $19.99

  • Solio Charger: Check out this $100 universal charger that taps in to the power of the sun (in other words, solar energy). Nicely designed and helps save on batteries. Compatible with cell phones, iPod, PDAs, Game Players, GPS and Digital Cameras!
  • Sony Handycam HDR-CX7: This camera tops my camera wishlist. At 3.1 Lbs (6x7x6 inches) this baby boasts HD video recording directly to Memory Stick Duo media cards; a stunning 4.6 Megapixel stills capture and easy one-touch disc-burn capability on the included Handycam station. Price: $811.93
