This techie wants more than his two front teeth for Christmas
I thought it would be fun to put together a list of the top 10 technology gadgets I would like for Christmas. When viewing this list, keep a couple of things in mind. For starters, I already have a bunch of cool technology gadgets like TiVo and a Flip video camera so this list isn't necessarily what I think are the top 10 technology gifts this holiday season. Rather, it's a list of the gadgets I would like to have that I don't already have.
Also, I'm not really this material of a person or at least I try not to be. Love and happiness for my family would top my real Christmas list. But I thought some of my readers might get a kick out of seeing what a techie like me would put on his technology gadget Christmas list. So, without further ado, here is my list.
Top 10 Technology Gadgets on Mr. Noobie's Christmas List:
 |
10. Blu-ray DVD player - I'm not 100% sold on Blu-ray or even convinced it is going to survive but I think it would be fun to watch some of my favorite action movies in full 1080p resolution. |
 |
9. Slingbox Pro-HD - I've help other people set up a Slingbox but I'd love to have one of my own so I could watch my TiVo recordings anywhere. |
 |
8. Kindle - The Kindle would be closer to the top of the list if it just looked cooler. I still say Amazon should have let Apple design the Kindle. Either way, I'd like to get my hands on one just to try it out. |
 |
7. iPhone 3G - I was an early adopter of the original iPhone buying it the day it was released. Now all of my friends have the new cool 3G one. |
 |
6. MacBook Pro - Apple makes some fantastic looking laptops and this one is no exception. Too bad they cost so much. |
 |
5. Apple TV - High definition movie rentals downloaded straight to my television. Awesome. |
 |
4. Flat panel television with full 1080p resolution - Again, I was an early adopter and at the time, full 1080p resolution wasn't available in the screen size I wanted. Now it is. |
 |
3. Digital picture frame - Oddly enough, I don't have one of these. Just never got around to getting one. |
 |
2. Rock Band for the Wii - I played this at my sister's house over Thanksgiving and instantly fell in love. And my singing voice could use a little practice. |
 |
1. Digital SLR - I'm ready to make the leap to a digital SLR. Once you've seen the pictures these cameras take you may never want another point-and-shoot again. |
Santa, are you listening?

Patric - The SLR you have pictured is the one I have - so will you please get one for Christmas, so I have someone who knows how to work it :) I can’t seem to find time to read the books and use it to it’s fullest capacity. The good thing is, I can still get great shots just because it’s a great camera.
Hope Christmas brings you all you want! That’s a pretty big list of toys:)

@Paula I’ll do my best to get one but will have to settle for just being jealous of you in the meantime!
