Posted by adminDec 6
Got some gift snobs under the tree this season? There are some really cool advanced technology gifts in the stores this Christmas, strategically priced and ready for your elves to enjoy. Some favor high tech or are accessories to high definition HDTV or big screen LCD television enjoyment.
Playing long distance Santa? Little speakers the size of credit cards , earbuds that never die, or luxurious Ipod docks are light and can be shipped quickly. But one thing is for sure, these gadgets are stocking stuffer sure things.
The Nikon Coolpix s1100pj model can project the images it captures. Like the old game of make finger motions against silhouetted light to make wall animals. Comes in 4 colors, piano black on black, wax lamp 1960’s ochre green, royal blue/purple (violet) and silver gray. The Nikon s1100pj has in-camera picture editing. This camera makes a slide show with music and has 17 scene modes. And you can record HD movies in 720p.
The 3 color clear touch display makes working the device easy. With a couple snaps of the camera you just became the most fun person in the party, room, office, hotel elevator, bar or plane. Pull this camera out no matter where you are at the holiday office party, charity fundraiser, church league picnic and tailgate party , and the fun just got going. This should be the media presentation pocket device to end all gadgets.
2. Toshiba 32CV100U 32-Inch 720p
The holidays will be more visually festive with a new Toshiba 32 Inch TV with DVD Player inside, USB, and a port for connecting up the hard drive. For a big set of Farmville (or Cityville or World of Warcraft). The family TV can be the family gaming console again without splitting the budget between devices. The black gloss finish really sells those who want a touch of tech in the family room and hate the silver finish modules.
Why look at the “tube” when you can enjoy your DVD movies with one device in 720p? Slot loading DVD plays recordable DVD format and CD discs as well. This currently ships 2 days from Amazon. The matching TV mount is here. The USB jack means this Toshiba plays Mp3 tunes and black controls give gaming and action movies the kicker.

What’s is it? It looks like a set of binoculars some left in the dryer. But this $160 device plays up the playlist and makes it studio ready. Works with Pro Tools SE, an industry standard professional recording software capable of launching your shower warbling to a FaceBook ready hit. One quarter inch headphone output make any audio buds the right ones to hear playback while monitoring, reviewing the audio interface and mobile podcast recording.
Got a fledgeling singer, musician, mixmaster or pop vocalist in the family? This M-audio gadgetis the hit gift of all time. They call this a mobile audio device, and everybody in the room will want to work it. But computer operators can work the Live Lite software and resample, mix and overplay to their heart’s content. Present your significant other with their favorite song remixed with your voice with effects. Create the ultimate kind of greeting in new voicemail answering messages, a chorus of your own voices.
Mac and PC compatible, so glass booths with keyboards no longer shut out the closet mixmaster in us all. the A/B source switch allows mobile DJ capacity with music recording in one. This device is a Youtube waiting to happen. Just ride the open road with your musical composition and plug in every guitar you meet for a recording compilation.
M-audio has been a name in portable audio for some time, and really makes the grade with an old-school 8-track stack look with 4 X 4 media playability and studio quality recording and mixing results. The dual microphone and instrument in-jacks and preamp and mixing settings mimic a better studio than the recipient has probably ever been in. From M-audio.com.
The icky feeling of discovering your best pair of headphones just died may never happen again. Another name in desktop era mixmaster play, Shure makes the super headphones have a $200 price but can be repaired, unlike the 500 pairs you’ve run through since the Walkman was invented.
The noise canceling e portable audio from Shure is about the best in the industry. What’s the gimmick? The earbuds screw out of the wire connectors. So replace your wires, not the headphones and audio quality experience that mean so much. The best part about the price? These can be the late-night movie or gaming headphones for whoever in the house needs to slash and burn when the rest of the family is in bed.
These are so James Bond. Buy them early, they go for $75 but the only ones I could find were on Ebay for twice that amount. The credit card Ipod size Mp3 sound speaker has a small footprint and a big sound, letting you bounce all weekend or from work to gym without sacrificing pet sounds, opera hall echoes or garage band effects.
