The Christmas season is just around the corner and many consumers are planning to start their holiday shopping. Here are the latest gadgets for tech-savvy consumers.
It is pretty much impossible to not see stores beginning to decorate their stores for the upcoming Christmas season nor is it impossible to ignore any advertisements in newspapers, on television or on the Internet. Here is the holiday gift guide for 2009:
Digital Journal recently reported on the upcoming hit “DJ Hero” for the Nintendo Wii, which is supposed to “release the inner DJ” within and now The Source in Canada is selling it for $129.99 and “allows aspiring DJs to scratch, cross-fade and beat match to their heart’s delight.”
Children tend to play with many of their parents’ gadgets such as their cell phone, blackberry or camera. The Olympus Blue Crayola 12MP Digital Camera sells for $129.99. Each camera comes with crayons, a photo storage box and a case for the camera itself. Retailers believe that it’s perfect for kids of all ages, “especially those with in interest in photography or crafts.”
Since the Ontario government implemented the newest law that bans drivers from talking on their handset devices, companies have been tapping into this latest market. Retailers are offering a Jabra Bluetooth Headset that will allow you to talk on your cell phone hands-free. It’s user friendly and contains a perfect audio reception. It costs $49.99.
The latest product is being marketed to people on the go, which has been the consistent theme for the last couple of years, and helps organize many of the electronics. Why not try out the Powermat Wireless Charging Travel Mat for $99.99? It charges three devices at once and a carrying case is provided.
All products are currently available and will continue to be throughout the holiday season.
