Watch List: Gadgets & Devices

               This holiday season seems to be the season of the video game consoles, e-readers, and tablets (sorry laptops). It takes alot for a practical electronic device to catch my eye on various technology blogs (although the Xbox 360 Kinect is clawing at my inner nerd). The gadgets below have caught my eye in the past weeks and are devices that I say you should look out for now and in the near future: 

1. Dell Inspiron Duo Tablet/ Netbook: $549 (Arrival in December 15) 
2. Nook (Barnes & Noble) E-Reader: $149 
3. Nook Color (Barnes & Noble) E-Reader: $249 
4. GE DV1 HD Camcorder: $99 
5. Motorola Defy Smartphone: $99 on T-Mobile Contract
6. L1 V2 Projector: $499 
7. Nokia N8 Cellphone: $549 
8. Acer Iconia Dual Screen Laptop: TBA (April 2011)
9. Acer Windows 7 Tablet: TBA (April 2011) 
10. Blackberry Playbook: $499 (January 2011) 

Low-Cost Technology Tools for Education

        Anyone who has enjoyed (or resented) having a conversation with me for longer than 2 minutes knows that I have a private addiction to electronics. I have an even deeper addiction to 'affordable' and just plain awesome electronics. Over the past three years, you may say that a new type of electronics evolution has taken place in the East and has shaken up the electronics game in the West. If you are thinking about Apple, I would say that you are partially correct.
