  • If you were to find a PC with the same specs as the new Apple AirMac, then you wouldn’t want it. Apple once again has hit sub-par in the market. But unfortunately their flash and parade of ads will save them.

  • Try any of the HTC Windows Mobile phones. I use the AT&T Tilt right now. I also suggest the Samsung Blackjack 2. These 2 are the top for gadget lovers.

  • Tell me about it. We just got 3G, it’s nice, but only about 50% to 100% faster than 2G! But, it also eats batteries. Can’t have everything I guess. I keep my phone on 2G unless I just need it to save battery. 90% of all I need on the phone goes 2G just fine.

  • Check out the new Canon HD corders. Nice.

  • Ford has the new Sync ability, but still no XM or On-Star. If I could get a car (SUV/Truck/Whatever) with all 3 of those. Well then… I just hope the gov lets XM and Sirius combine to give us more ability in more cars. I believe that satelite alone has enough competition that the combo of these two would not be bad.

I was very close to getting an iPod Touch (still might!) as I like the idea of a handheld internet tablet like device with the storage. I mean, I love Nokia (have an increasingly outdated 770) and would choose the N800 or N810, but I love 8 or 16gb choice for iTouch. Then again, Nokia has the bluetooth which would go great with my cell phone data plan (when not using a hotspot or free wifi). Oh well, the Christmas bills are knocking at my door so I may have to wait a little while longer for a new tech toy ;)</p> I want a new internet tablet.

We'll see if that is true when I am able to test it.</p> The Zoom H2 does one thing: records audio :o ) It just does it (supposedly) very well. We’ll see if that is true when I am able to test it.

It looks very interesting to me, if perhaps a bit out of the money I can spend right now.</p> <p>How well does it work, what can you do with it?, etc.</p> Yes, Julie, please review the Zoom H2.

    How well does it work, what can you do with it?, etc.
