Gadgets: and your nominees are?
We're trying to put together a list of new, desirable gadgets for a column we write for the monthly magazine of Chartered Public Accountants, and we're having a bit of trouble. Perhaps we're still in holiday mode, but we haven't seen that much around to tempt us.
There's nothing much new on the PDA or mobile phone front, and ditto for cameras. We can't recommend those new Intel iMacs yet, although the FM tuner/remote for the iPod looks interesting.
Blue Ant Wireless will shortly be releasing a rechargeable stereo speaker/hands-free for PCs and mobile phones which looks impressive, and we can't resist the rechargeable USB shaver that Anyware's distributing.
Anything new caught your fancy?

Hi there
The new Zen Vision:M is a great MP3 player and just being released. Looks great, excellent screen - a little light on capacity (just 30GB) but very slick device.

The Optimus keyboard with OLED keys is the only thing I’m really looking forward to and there’s going to be news on it in the next day or so

Drumming Santa for those moments of absolute insanity when you think you just can't take any more?

I must admit one of the Optimus keyboards would be nice, if only the patent disputes could be sorted out. Sigh
I nearly purchased a Microsoft Wireless Desktop 6000 Keyboard and Mouse yesterday from Harvey Norman for $199.00 as I like the idea of the laser mouse and 4-way scrolling.
Then I was shown the Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse for $239.00 and then I decided to wait and think as I would love the Bluetooth in a Laser mouse. It seems I cannot have both so just need to make a decision.
My MS Intelli-Mouse Explorer is getting tired again and needs replacing. This is my third one of these and is the best mouse I have owned, I just need to use it less to make it last longer.
