Favorite gadget of the year nominations?

By Draginol on December 4, 2009 5:47:16 PM from JoeUser Forums JoeUser Forums

So do you have a list of gadgets that you discovered this year that really struck you?

Here’s a list of some of the gadgets I”m using a lot now:

1. Verizon MyFy.  Game changer for me because I now get reliable Internet wherever I go.

2. Jing Pro. Makes it very easy to get videos and screenshots up.

3. Google iPhone app. Its voice recognition for searching is unreal.

What would be your list?

Wanna trade it for a large pizza?

My fave '2009 gadgets' would be

- ATI Radeon HD X2 w/2GB DDR3
- HTC Touch Diamond

Ok, the phone may not be the latest model, but it's new to me

My favorite gadget of the year, and of all time, is and always will be Windowblinds.  Nothing tops it.  It's just a thing of pure joy to me.

I like the google voice search as well, but since I bought a G1 it came part of it. I would of rather had the choice to download it though.

My fav gadets this year?

WD TV Live - Considering I bought a 1 TB WD MyBook external drive at the beginning of the year and filled it with movies in avi format, I have an avi player that has many issues with too many of the avi files I have. This little gadget, about the same size as my external drive, would be the perfect add-on to my drive and since it has a HD connection, I won't have to worry about problems with buying an HDTV in the future, not to mention it has natwork capabilities so the drives I connect to it show up on my network as well and on top of that it gives me direct access to sites like youtube, flicker and others. No bad this little gadget.

32GB iPod Touch - I'm not big on phones so the iPod Touch is good enough for me. I can carry my entire collection of favorite mp3s, several movies and entertaining apps. Throw in wifi access for portable email and stuff and this baby is almost as good as having a cellphone.

Last but not least

Western Digital My Passport Essential SE 1 TB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive - I have a 250 GB one and just when i thought that was big and enough, turns out a 500 GB would have been better but 1 TB would be like owning a Ferrari to me. All my music, my pictures and as many videos as I want, not to mention all my portable apps in one single portable drive.

If Santa could bless me with these 3 gadgets, I would be the happiest geek in the world.

Wow, this software is great. Thanks.

Interesting, I can see how one would not need it but still use it as the site says. Even better it lead to Shadenow, another interesting peace of software. I love freebees. Thanks

You will be a lot happier as well with that upgrade.

HTC pure cell phone running the new version of Windows Moblie !Smoothest windows based phone I have ever used.Since I have to triple boot to skin windowblinds this not only is an awsome piece of hardware it fully integrates with XP,Vista and Win7 so no matter what OS I am on all my contacts are synced . I can hook to my laptop and use cellular modem and with the added 4 gigs of memory when on Vista or 7 it will function as Ready Boost at the same time!
