What's on your Christmas wish list?
SINCE CHRISTMAS is just over a week away now, we're wondering what all of you, our technologically discerning Inquirer readers, want the most to receive as gifts this holiday season.
Has Time magazine's "Gadget of the Year" Android OS powered Droid (or Milestone in the UK) smartphone caught your fancy? Or are you lusting after a sleek ultra-thin notebook, or thinking that a compact netbook might be just the thing? Maybe you still really want an Iphone, or an Ipod Touch?
Or, perhaps you don't really want a gadget this year, but could use a PC component upgrade or two? On the other hand, maybe you don't want any more gadgets but just want to stay comfortably numb to get through the holidays?
Whatever is on your Christmas list, you can let us know by taking our poll down on the right side the page. Or, if what you want isn't listed there, feel free to let us know in the comments below. In any case, we here at The Inquirer hope your holiday shopping isn't too stressful. µ

My Christmas wish: money for school.
My Christmas wish is that someone at the Inq. will finally wise up and FIRE Nick Farrell.
My wish: A small, walkman sized, Atom based computer! (with Video goggles).
1. EVGA X58 SLI Classified Motherboard.
It does 4-Way SLI + PhysX, 2 8pin +12V connectors capable of delivering 600 watts of power, 10 phase Digital PWM with a switching frequency of up to 1333KHz and three times the amount of normal gold content in the CPU socket !!!
2. A 20 Gallon Dewar Flask.
3. 20 Gallons of LiN2 (Liquid Nitrogen), maybe helium if baby's got bucks...
4. Case ? We don't need no stinkin' cases.
WD TV so I can free the laptop for torrenting while gaming on the triple-screen PC.
Guess I have it all now.
Just my sexy Gf in a pair of fishnets and heels.
Gadgets are saaaaaaaad!
... I'm not asking for a phone this year, maybe when my contract is up for renewal in about 12 months time maybe.
Nope, this Christmas I'm after a PS3 80GB (I would have got a Slim if it wasn't for the fact they removed the option to run Linux). In fact I'm sitting impatiently waiting for it to arrive from an eBay seller. I've got everything crossed hoping that it arrives in one piece and before Christmas!
With any luck on Christmas day I'll be playing around with something small and hairy... no not that, an Eye Pet!
Rob
nuts are the true meaning of xmas
Some sort PC, somet stupid but cool like 3x 295GTX, or somet.. utterly useless, stupid, but its funny
u might ask why not ATIs cards, the reason is that nVidia ATI for linux driver support
So I think I'll have Ol' St. Nick bring me a pair of Sapphire Vapor-X 5770s for Christmas to replace my aging 4870s ;-
Yeah, you hit the nail on the head. I want the Motorola DROID..... Hurry up and release the damn thing in Australia....
The features of the device are nice, but the angular design certainly has me sold. The iPhone while nice does look rather effeminate to me, it's a chicks phone.
The DROID? Thats a MANS phone, and no doubt about that.
At the moment the only Android phone available in Australia is the HTC Magic. Not especially Attractive.
My list that I prefer are:
1: The Motorola DROID
2: Sony Ericsson XPeria X10
3: Samsung I7500
I would rather have an old steam train of an old steam engine, something will still work 10 years from now. I just bought a new laptop, what will it be worth in 5 years if it still works?
this year all i want for christmas is a samsung omnia i900. why? because i love reasonably priced yet powerful gagets and this smartphone has been on the market long enough to be picked up for about 250 quid. i can finally replace my aging p990 and do new smart stuff like use a playstation emulator on the go :D. last year i got an acer aspire one and i havent put it down since.
p.s.
love the inq you guys rock the technology boat, keep it real :).
My christmas wish list is the hottest female athletes of the decade:
