Gadgets will no doubt be on everyone’s list this holiday season. Here are a few of the most popular gifts that include everything from the pricey gadgets to stocking stuffers.
iPhone 4S
It’s no surprise the 4S is the hot gadget on everyone’s list this year. The 8 mega-pixel camera and the sleek look are big attractions. The 4S may have gotten a bad rap at first, but all the 3G users who were ready for an upgrade got the full effect of what the 4S has to offer, not to mention the iPhone virgins are getting a sweet phone without any glitches. The IPhone 4 users may feel they got the raw end of the deal, but I’m sure they aren’t complaining about the quick app and Internet connection. One of the most popular features on the IPhone 4S is the virtual personal assistant, Siri. Siri will interact with your iPhone Calendar and other settings so you can program your schedules and reminders. You can ask Siri where to get some good Indian food and it will tell you. It doesn’t get much cooler than that.
The Kindle Fire Tablet
The reasonable sale price of $199 seems to be sweetening the deal for the Kindle Fire Tablet from Amazon. The seven-inch screen is also more compact than the iPad’s 9.7 inch screen. That’s pretty tempting for someone on a budget this year.
Apple TV
Apple fans will love the streaming services of Apple TV. You can watch all the movies, TV shows, photo slideshows, etc… on your wide-screen TV. Everything you’ve purchased on iTunes and Netflix will stream from your computer onto your HDTV. You can download onto any iOS device (iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch) and computers with iTunes. All your movie and music purchases are saved on iCloud so you can always re-stream, and the best part it’s only $99.
Video Games for the PS3
Besides the coveted Gift Cards that all the kids love to get and is one of the most popular gifts this season, video games always make the list. The top games for the PS3 this year are:
Mass Effect 2 by Electronic Arts. A science Fiction Adventure.
FIFA Soccer 12 by Electronic Arts
