Sony® PS3™

The Sony Play Station™ has been a kids’ favorite for years, and adults also enjoy the more “grown up” games this system offers. Most games are put into PS3 format nowadays, so your favorite themes, game types, and characters are usually available. The integrated Wi-Fi connection on the new models allows kids and adults to game online, opening a whole new world of friendship and competition. The unit is a bit pricey, retailing at $246.00, but if you want to please a gift recipient, you just cannot go wrong with a PS3™.

Kindle™3G

One of the newest electronic devices to take the country by storm, the wireless reading device, or WRD, became popular several years before it was Wi-Fi integrated and had all the cool features it sports today. Now, these extras are just the icing on the cake. The WRD does what it has always done, and does it well – providing hours of reading enjoyment, both of books and periodicals. In the world of WRDs, the Amazon Kindle™ is the undisputed champion; many people do not even know the term “WRD,” and call all devices of this type “Kindles.” Kindle™ has made such a name for itself because of its dedication to customer suggestion and satisfaction – routinely changing screen backlighting to provide a better reading experience in all light conditions, making controls more user-friendly, and incorporated Bluetooth downloading and file sharing. Currently retailing at $79.00 and up, this is a must for any students or readers on your gift list.

Apple® iPad™ Touch™ 4G

The fourth-generation prototype of the iPad™, the all new “Touch™”, is appropriately named for its great features and ease of use. If you have never used a touch-pad device, you are in for a treat as you navigate the unit’s many features. The Touch™ can act as a mobile hotspot, allowing you to connect to the internet on up to four laptops at once – perfect when you are traveling with business partners or family. You can also play games, surf the internet, and perform tons of other functions, all as easily as skimming your finger across the device’s service. You can find the iPad™ Touch™ at your local wireless provider’s store, or order it online from their website.

3D Vaio™ by Sony®

As laptops go, this one is the crème-de-la-crème of the computer world. Offering 3D glasses for a totally new viewing experience, you can play your favorite 3D DVDs or view online content in three dimensions easily. The unit also has tons of other features, such as many integrated software programs and the quality you have come to expect from this line, but the integrated toggling 2D-3D is going to make this unit this year’s big electronic pick. Retailing at $1449 and up, you will want to hurry to pick up this model before they are all gone!
