There are so many gadgets out there that it makes picking just one for a Christmas gift to yourself really, really challenging.
But there is no challenge too big for a gadget lover like me. So here
is a list of a few gadgets and then some, worth writing Santa about.
Iphone 5
Why I want it: My love affair with the iPhone began
when I first held the iPhone 3G in 2007. Since then I have always
included the iPhone in my must-have cell phone list. I like that what
Apple has done is to build on a good product and make it better, so
rather than introduce many iPhones, it stuck to just one good product.
Because it’s an iPhone. People who have it have told me that the iPhone
5’s sleek design and speed of Internet connections make it better than
my “old” iPhone 4S.
Samsung Galaxy Note 2
Why I want it: Samsung Galaxy Note 2 comes in a size
that is great for capturing photos and making sure that I look good in
them before Tweeting. The S-Pen, the Samsung stylus, is great for
scribbling since I have stubby fingers. Of course, the fact that the
Note 2 is thinner, lighter, faster and more attractive are reasons
enough to include it in my must-have list.
G-Shock GA110 FC
Why I want it: Anyone who knows me knows that I like
colors. And G-Shock watches are not only colorful — they are also shock
proof and waterproof, making them perfect for me. Other features
include mechanically designed hands, combination analog-digital
timekeeping, and magnetic resistance. Of course, the fact it’s part of
the limited-edition series makes for good bragging rights.
Asics Noosa Tri 7
Why I want it: I’m not a true-blue marathon runner. I
am more of a village runner. I also love going to the gym and Asics
Noosa is really fun to wear. The white letters on the front and back of
the shoe glow in the dark. I am used to wearing running shoes at work
all day — so I consider the Noosa a great pair of shoes for work. I just
love the way Asics combines all the colors of the rainbow in its Noosa
series.
HTC One X+
Why I want it: For starters it runs on the Android
Jelly Bean. I am told that it is an upgrade from the HTC One S, of which
I am a big fan. It has increased performance, longer battery life and
expanded internal storage at 64GB — the most offered by any smartphone.
It features a 1.7GHz quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 AP37 processor. It
features the newly launched Self-Portrait mode on the front camera,
which applies enhancements to skin and eyes. Sightseeing Mode allows you
to take photos even when the phone is locked as one touch of the power
button bypasses the lock screen.
TRX suspension training
Why I like it: I am a gym buff. I spend as much time
as I can in the gym — have been doing that for over 20 years. But
sometimes when I travel all the hotel gyms have is a good treadmill. One
of my workouts at the gym is TRX or suspension training, a form of
resistance training that includes
bodyweight exercises
in which a variety of multi-planar, compound exercise movements can be
performed. As I grow older, I like the use of the TRX because it means
that I can do a lot of core exercises using body weight instead of heavy
free weights. TRX training has helped in developing my strength,
balance, flexibility, and joint stability by just hanging on to the
ropes and doing a set of exercises — and there seem to be an unlimited
set of exercises one can do with it.
