What a nice looking couple. Thanks for sharing that and by all means get it framed.

I bought a Paperwhite the first day they were offered for sale, so I won't be buying anything new for a while, but if someone wanted to buy me one of the new iPads, iPad Mini, or one of the new larger HD Fire tablets, I wouldn't complain!

That looks something like the device that connects to my new hearing aid. It transmits via bluetooth directly into my hearing aid. Nice for when we watch TV. I don't blast my husband out of the room.

That is a neat picture. Handsome couple. Yes I would definitely get it restored. They look so happy and in love.

I need to replace my Asus Transformer, which I accidentally dropped in the middle of the street.

wizwor · 11-04-2012, 03:36 PM

I think we will buy at least one new Fire -- though I'm not sure which one at this point -- and I am in the market for a quad core desktop.

murraypaul · 11-04-2012, 03:47 PM

Most likely a Nexus 7.
I'd actually rather have one of two gadgets that don't exist: a reasonably priced Galaxy Note 2 or a retina iPad Mini. The Nexus 7 the compromise choice in the middle.

I'm actually thinking of something like this:

an emergency power source for phones, ipods, and so on. My kids have a lamentable tendency to not keep their phones charged up except at night. We've got a small one, that works to recharge my son's phone about half way (or maybe a little more), and I've got a charger that runs on two AA batteries, but I don't know how much that small amount can do.

I've investigated solar rechargers, but I'm not convinced we'd have a good way to use it in cloudy Michigan. For longer outages, we've got a gas-powered generator (but that assumes we can get gas for it) - this would be just for more short-term emergencies. (maybe give the kids one to keep in their car)

That one seems overpriced though, I bought a similar one in Japan and paid less than $30, not as elegant looking though and it only has one USB port.

Already treated myself to a Synology NAS with 4no 3Tb hard drives......Groupon has the Nexus 7 on offer today too.....tempting

pagansoul · 11-05-2012, 07:20 AM

I'll be getting my new iPhone 5 next weekend. Don't know about the mini this year, maybe next. I use my iPad 3 all of the time but not my Fire so I don't think I need a 7 inch tablet at all but I can rarely resist new toys.

Nothingness · 11-05-2012, 09:28 PM

I'm going to get myself my first ereader: a Kobo Golo.

Joykins · 11-05-2012, 09:32 PM

I bought a cheap laptop last week because my 5-yo one was dying. Gave the old one to my son to play minecraft. No new gadgets for me this year--I have everything I need & want: iPod nano, nook, kindle, and iPhone 3GS. This year I want to have money instead

1094Jacob · 11-05-2012, 10:42 PM

I hope to get a Kenwood TH-F6A amateur radio.

Kumabjorn · 11-06-2012, 02:02 AM

I'm thinking I'd like to pimp my Galaxy Note with this Little gadget.
