The best of 2005

2005 gave us a lot of new gadgets and technology—some useful and some not so useful. (Talking about the useless gadgets would just waist your time and I will not do that.) I do have a few items that hit my top ten list for '05 and I want to share them with you.

My top ten gadget list of 2005:

1. Microsoft Xbox 360


2. Apple Video iPod


3. Apple iPod Nano


4. Sony PSP


5. Dual-core Processors (this was a "gadget" in '05--look for it to be real technology in '06 when software can exploit the dual processors)


6. Sandisk Ultra II SD Plus


7. Beamer Digital Videophone/Picture Frame


8. LaCie Brick Desktop Hard Drive


9. Acer Media Gateway MG-3001P


10. RIM BlackBerry 8700c Electron

2005 was a great year for gadget introductions. I am sure I missed something that is high on your list—let me know what they are so I can try them out. I am looking forward to an even stronger 2006 and will keep you informed as we move into the new year.
