Love Gadgets?

Posted by Admin on December 31st, 2008 filed in Uncategorized

I don’t know about you, but as the years progress and technology advances ever farther I find myself enthralled by the many gadgets they keep coming up with!  There just seems to be a never-ending, fascinating selection of little tools and techie helpers that make life a little more interesting.

I was browsing a little today…and here are some of my top picks.  What do you think?  You like?  Are there any on your wish-list that you’d like to try in the new year?

  • aiptek-ahdJust look at this little pocket camcorder!  The  Aiptek A-HD 720P camcorder is very portable and pocketable. It takes 5 MP pictures or 720P high definition video and it retails for under $150.

Sticking this in my purse would be really  nice for all of those occasions when the kids do something totally cool and you want to remember it!

  • stir-chef Here’s something for everyone who multi-tasks regularly in the kitchen.  It’s called a Stir Chef’s Sauce Pan Stirrer and it is a circular device that clamps down onto the rim of a pot…and yes…it stirs your pots for you!

At first I thought this seemed a little over-the-top, but once I really thought about it, I decided that this may actually be a pretty cool thing to try.   It adjusts to fit 1.5- and 4.5-quart sauce pans and stirs for up to five hours for continuous stirring or ten hours for intermittent stirring.

  • sony-reader-350For those with a little quiet time, the Sony Reader lets you bring along your latest read wherever you go…in the carpool line or waiting at dance class. The reader can hold about 160 eBooks or loads more if you use an optional removable memory card. It has a six-inch display, weighs 9 ounces, and is 1/3-inches thick.
  • ipod-touchHere’s a great option for on-the-go entertainment, downloading music and movies or just surfing the ‘net on the go.  Play your favorite music, watch a video or surf on the 3.5 inch widescreen display. It has built-in Wi-Fi so you can buy your songs or movies  or check email on the go.  I have a birthday coming up in a few months, and I may be putting this on my wish-list!
  • recharger_lg_homenew2If you go through batteries like we do it can be expensive.  We are trying to switch over to rechargeables now, but this little gizmo intrigued me because rechargeables are expensive.  With the Battery Xtender you can recharge regular old alkaline batteries. It won’t charge a completely dead battery but you can extend the life of nearly dead batteries by quite a lot.  I read that batteries can be recharged multiple times with this.  It retails for $39.99.
