What’s on your X’mas Gadget Shopping List?

It’s the month of December and for most people, the only month of the year when you feel you really deserve that much awaited gadget you’ve always longed for.

Luckily, it’s also the samr month you’d most likely get a bonus or a 13th month pay. That makes it much easier to the wallet.

So which gadget is on your shopping list this season? Is it a phone, a camera or a new mp3 player? Are you looking to get the big ticket items like a 37″ HDTV or a Macbook or will settle with a smaller token like the PSP Slim or the Nintendo DS Lite?

Last Christmas, I got myself a Canon 40D. This year, I wasn’t thinking of any and instead, thought of spending an extra week or so in Europe when I fly there on a business trip this week.

      I’m going vintage! :)

      A Toshiba Portege 2000 — thinner than Macbook Air, released in 2002. :)

      Just for my collection.

      Well, none really, maybe I’ll pause for some months from now, on getting new gadgets.

      With what’s happening around the globe, that financial crisis thingy, I guess my predictions are these:

      - low demands on gadgets, abundant on supply.
      - prices of these gadgets might be slashed maybe as drastic as 50% come 1Q or 2Q of 2009.

      so maybe the few months after christmas is worth the wait.
      unless I can grab now a Red Zune. ;-)

      I’ve planned to upgrade my PC but this time, an AMD platform, a Phenom X3 with Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-DS2H mobo not much power but rich in features and good for my budget or the latest MSI Wind PC with prepaid broadband but more expensive and for the least expensive maybe just an Ipod Shuffle a good partner for an early morning jog.

    8. Gravatar Icon Jejo replied on Dec 1st, 2008 at 2:13 pm (8)

      Maybe an LG Cookie, or if my parents can afford, a Nokia 5800.

      But I think I’ll have to wait until graduation.

      I’m planning to buy a Canon 40D BUT there’s a 50D
      coming out. Is the price difference worth it?

      Please advise.

      SIL

    10. Gravatar Icon sil toledo replied on Dec 1st, 2008 at 2:20 pm (10)

      Is the NOKIA E90 already outdated compared to the other new models for business use?

    11. Gravatar Icon Mark Anthony Grejaldo replied on Dec 1st, 2008 at 6:18 pm (11)

      A brand new laptop, and an external hard drive.

    12. Gravatar Icon makr replied on Dec 1st, 2008 at 6:33 pm (12)

      the new macbook pro 15″.

      but can’t afford it as of the moment so i’ll settle for the iPod touch 32gig.

    13. Gravatar Icon bit replied on Dec 1st, 2008 at 6:45 pm (13)

      Laptop and LCD Monitor

    14. Gravatar Icon Andre Marcelo-Tanner replied on Dec 1st, 2008 at 7:25 pm (14)

    17. Gravatar Icon Reggie replied on Dec 1st, 2008 at 9:54 pm (17)

      even if there’s no way i’ll be able to afford them for now, i’ll wish anyway.

      1. Nikon D70s (i know it’s not new anymore but that would be good enough for me)
      2. Nokia E71
      3. Nokia N96 or Samsung Omnia for my fiancee

    18. Gravatar Icon jhay replied on Dec 1st, 2008 at 10:10 pm (18)

    19. Gravatar Icon Charles Ravndal replied on Dec 1st, 2008 at 10:21 pm (19)

      I asked my father to buy me a DSLR and I am just deciding between an Olympus E-520, Canon EOS 450 or Sony Alpha 350.

      And I’ll just get a brand new laptop on my bday instead.

      I wanted a 32GB iPod Touch 2nd Generation but I changed my mind! 120GB iPod Classic is more spacious and cheaper.. I got myself that last week, an early christmas gift! hehe.. :)

    22. Gravatar Icon elmer replied on Dec 2nd, 2008 at 12:06 am (22)

      Bad economy so i guess no new gadget this Christmas :( just maximize of use of what i have right now.

    23. Gravatar Icon issai replied on Dec 2nd, 2008 at 12:54 am (23)

      yeah, i agree with elmer, bad economy, no gadgets for me this christmas. i bought all the things in my 2008 wishlist last june just before the economy turned bad (42″ hdtv,ps3,2 computers). so now, i’m writing down what i want for my 2009 wishlist, maybe getting the wow expansion or rockband 2 for my birthday.

      merry christmas to all!

    30. Gravatar Icon Harry replied on Dec 2nd, 2008 at 12:35 pm (30)

      I wish for (just one even):

      A Nokia 5800 (early 09 pa daw? I’ll wait for my SC-Nokia card to get approved)

      A desktop gaming rig (although I don’t have desktop space)

      An iPhone (although this is pure wish)

      An Omnia or Experia (again pure wish)

      A new watch (not exactly a gadget but this is what I’m really gifting myself this year)

      Actually, I upgraded this year to an E71. Best business phone this year for me, feature- and price-wise. I’m also getting my Samsung NC10 in a few days time, but that’s more a business need on a business expense.
