What gadgets did you get for the holiday?
Well it’s back to work with the Christmas holiday now behind us so it’s only appropriate that we ask you what geeky gadgetry did you get under the tree? We’ve already heard from one reader who found an HTC Advantage under the tree, what a great gift! So what did you get? I got a very nice gadget charging wooden case myself and an i-Dog who is dancing on my desk right now. The charging case is a cool way to charge phones and other small gadgets while looking very nice! How about you?

Would this be the same charging case that GBM Warner talked about a few months ago? Or, a new possibly DIY wooden case? I’m curious because I’d love to find the plans to build one of my own.
While an HTC Advantage would have been VERY cool, especially since CompUSA had them for $630/no contract, Santa brought a DSLR (Rebel XTi) for Christmas.
I got Microsoft Streets & Trips 2008, which only qualifies as a gadget ’cause it came with a little GPS dongle. Finally, I know where I am!
I also got my girlfriend a lap desk, which I conveniently get to use while she’s at work. And I got a Slanket, which is kind of gadgety in that gives me full typing ability whilst under a warm, fuzzy blanket.
I’m hoping to find an HTC Advantage at the Cincy CompUSA (the Dayton store was sold out as of Saturday night so it’s not likely), but aside from that my only gadgets were Rock Band and an electronic trombone mute. My mother got a Garmin nuvi with all the fixin’s though, which only led me to want that Advantage even more!
Doc, the charging case is this one from Frontgate:

I guess my i760 doesnt top the advantage, but still loving it none the less.
Anyone have any cool useful apps (prefereably free…I am in college still) to download?
Suweet! Those are pretty nice!
I got a Targus bag for my Tablet, a Belkin Wireless USB Hub (yes, finally I can get rid of all those wires!!!), a web cam, and I got myself a Sony UX and pre-ordered the HTC Touch Cruise (can’t spend money for others without getting something for myself right?). Also got my girlfriend a 15″ HP Laptop.
Wow Jose, what a good Christmas for you and your girlfriend!
Lucky me, the Cincinnati CompUSA doesn’t have a display Advantage to entice customers, you have to know about it and ask for them to get it out of the back, so they had multiple left. And now they have one fewer :)
Merry Christmas/Happy Birthday to me!
Sweet, Keith!
