Now that the gift giving season is only a few days away, here are my final tech gifts that are great for the holiday season. I enjoy reccomending gadgets and technology for people to give as gifts and I continue to do this every year on Gdovin.net! Here are my final suggestions for 2008 Holiday Tech gifts:
Macbook:
The new macbook from Apple is an amazing machine it has a sleek alluminum design, and is extremley powerful. It has a Nvidea grpahics card so it is great for work and games. This a great laptop for the average laptop users who don’t need the extra power of the Macbok Pro. Since, it runs Mac OSX, it is very stable and reliable so you can get what you need do when you need it!

Dell Studio Hybrid-
I put this one in because I know some people don’t want or can’t afford a mac so I wanted to give an option. The Dell Studio Hybrid is a sleek machine, it is perfecxt for both the office and home and even as a home entertainment center. I think it may be the nicest designed Desktop Dell has ever made!
Ipod Touch
The ipod touch is an amazing devices it plays music, games and surfs the web all in one little device. You can load applications either over iTunes or directly on the device over WiFi, it is the best iPod Apple has evermade and I think it will be for a long time.

Flip Camcorder:
This device is probably the simplest camera ever to be used by you. It makes taking high quality video and pictures a snap and lets you transfer it with a built it USB port. There are two models one is Standard definition, the other is high definitition. This is great for people who like to travel or just someone who likes to take pictures and video!

I hope you all enjoyed my holiday gift picks this year, i hope you all have a happy holiday and read Gdovin.net throughout 2009 and read my holiday gift guide next year!

As Christmas and the holiday gift-giving season is around the coner, I will suggest more gift ideas for this holiday season:
Amazon Kindle:
The Amazon Kindle is an amazing ebook reader that for the price of $360 you can store over 200 books and you also get newspaper subscriptions that can be downloaded over the built-in EVDIO and you can also buy additional books anywhere! This saves you from having to carry arround tons of books and coulde be a great alternative for students who need to carry around many textbooks.

Nokia N810:
I have already mentioned how much I love my Nokia N800 but, there is also a newer Internet Tablet called the Nokia N810. The N810 not only provides a faster processor but, it also has a hardware keyboard that allows much faster typing on the device for email and instant messaging. The N810 also has a built-in GPS for getting directions and finding places. The N810 is a great upgrade to the N800 and is great for people who need to get a lot of work done on the go.

Cannon Powershot SD1100 IS:
I recently got this camera in September as a birthday gift, and I have loved every second of using it. The pictures are amazing quality, it has many features to make sure you can get the best quality images and did I mention that this camera was only $150 and for a limited time comes with a 2 GB SD Memory card. The build of the camera is slim and can fit in any pocket and can go anywhere! This camera has a great 8 Megapixel image and has a 3X zoom and one of the neatest things is as you rotate the camera, the image rotates rotates similar to the iPhone. This camera has become the de-facto point and shoot camera because it is such a great value for such a high quality result

HP Mini 1000 XP:
Just like many other computer manufacturers, HP has relese their own line of Ultra Portable Laptops and I believe theres is one of the best. The keyboard is 92% of a full sized keyboard and has a 1.6 GHZ processor and 512 Megabytes of RAM. The computer runs Windows XP and is perfect for business people who travel or college students. The reason is that, at $360 this is a great computer for taking notes, checking your email and surfing the internet, which is all people usually use portable computers for. This is great for anybody who travels a lot and wants to take a decent computer with them where they go!

Well this is the end of this installment of the Holiday gift guide. Next week, I will have a special Dexluxe Gift guide that will have extra gift ideas!

This is the first of four instalments of my holiday gift guide which will provide mostly technology holiday gift suggestions.
Wii Fit- Wii fit is a Nintendo exercise game for their Wii platform and I find it to be great for the fitness enthusiast in your life or the video gamer who needs to get off World of Warcraft and needs to exercise a bit. The game lets to get a real workout and play a game that is also a lot of fun. As you play, the more time you play, the more exercises you can unlock and use. Wii fit also allows friends to come over and workout on it and try and beat each others high scores!

Flickr Pro- I used to believe Flickr Pro was a waste of money, however, when I started using all of Flickr’s amazing features however, I became very frustrated by the 100 MB monthly upload limit. Flickr Pro gives you unlimited photo uploads for a mere $25 a month. Flickr Pro also lets you upload up to 90 second video clips and lets you create as many picture sets as you like. This is a perfect present for anyone who like to take pictures and share them.

Adagio Tea Starter Kit- As you all may realized right now, I am very into Adagio teas. Adagio offers high quality teas at affordable prices and one of the coolest things they have is tea starter kits. These kits come with everything you need to start drinking loose leaf tea: a tea pot, 5 samples of a specific type of tea, and a book about teas, all for $20! These items would cost $35 if they were ordered seperatly and is a great way to get people interested in drinking tea. Starter kits have a variety of types of teas like black, green, herbal and oolong teas. It is amazing for anyone who loves tea or is just getting into teas!
Nintendo Wii- I put this on my gift guide last year but I think it is such a great product and can do so many revolutionary things that I decided that it is wroth it to put it on my list again. It is an amazing game console and is exteremly versatile.

Digital Picture Frame- Anymore, Digital Cameras have been replacing regular film cameras and why bother printing out pictures when you can simply put pictures on a memory card and have a running slide show of your most recent pictures. The frame is $90 and totally worth it.

I look forward to sharing gadget suggestions with everyone throughout the holiday season.
