The Ultimate Gadget Gift Guide
‘Tis the season for finding the perfect gift for your loved ones and if you’re like us, you most definitely have a technology-junkie on your list. Here are a few of our favorite nerdy, futuristic and downright awesome gift ideas!
For the computer nerd – Everyone uses a computer but there are those who literally cannot exist without one. If you are looking to pick up a new laptop for the uber-techie in your life, Acer has released the Iconia, a dual-screened wonder of a computer that boasts a 10-finger multi-touch set of two screens.
For the aspiring photographer – Lytro has redefined the camera as we know it. Their new Light Field Camera doesn’t simply capture a static image; it instead captures light field data that allows you to adjust the focus of the photo at any time after the photo has been taken. This also means that there is no shutter delay so photos are taken instantaneously. The result? Super cool photos that look like they were snapped by a professional photographer.
For the graphic designer – The new Wacom Inkling allows designers on-the-go to use their sketchbooks and a special pen to hash out their ideas on paper and later transfer them to a computer in vector format. No more scanning in artwork and no more plastic writing surfaces!
The just plain cool – Ever thought it would be great to get a text when your house is on fire? The company Firetext did and they created the Firetext Smoke Alarm that will send a text message alert to up to 4 separate mobile numbers.
