What's On Your Uber Holiday Gadget Gift List?
The day before consumer technology blog Ubergizmo unveiled their Uber10 list of gadget gift ideas for the holidays (KGO-TV’s Richard Hart report aired 11/15, embedded below), my seven-year-old son asked me what I wanted for Christmas. It was his savvy way to get me to help him brainstorm what will become his wish list for 2009.
My son wants a Wii so he can play sports even when it’s cold outside, but so far that’s the only tech gadget he’s hoping to unwrap.
He seems more interested in Tech Deck skateboards, math games and dinosaur fossils.
As for me? I have my eye an a few upgrades:
- I’d like to step up from my Canon G9 to the Canon G11 or Limux GF1
- I’d really like to upgrade to a new Blackberry Curve 8500
A new device that I think is interesting is the Viliv S7 for my on-the-go Internet snacking, Kindle store enjoyment and microblogging.
Ubergizmo unveiled their Uber10 list of gadgets for under $500 on November 12 at an event in San Francisco sponsored by Intel (our second year) along with Dolby and UBS. The event is a great way to kick off the holiday season geek-style, so we brought a celebratory cake with colorful Intel chip design decorated on top.
You can see some great photos of the event from a variety of photographers on the scene:

One of the most stylish devices to make this year’s Uber10 was the HP Mini 110 Studio Tord Boontje with an eye-catching 3D tech mesh design and a tiny, mighty Intel Atom processor inside.
If you’ll looking for ideas, start by voting for your three favorite gadgets listed on the the Ubergizmo site.
