Hottest Holiday Electronics For 2011

The new Kindle Fire is an e-reader on steroids. With the new full color screen and dual core processor Kindle is going way beyond the book with web, movies, tv shows, apps and more. This fancy piece of technology will run you $199. The color screen is nice if you are into magazines and the price is nice if you were considering an iPad which costs about twice as much as the Kindle Fire.

Remember when you had to rest that huge beast of a VHS recorder on your shoulder Christmas morning to catch all of the action? Now, video recorders slip easily into your pocket and plug right into your computer for instant video upload and editing. On my wish electronic wish list this year: Sony Bloggie Touch. The Bloggie has a 3 inch touch screen that rotates for vertical or horizontal viewing, meaning you can turn the camera at whatever angle you wish for up to 4 hours of high definition video recording. You can also take still photos while you shoot video. According to Amazon.com Sony Bloggie was voted as PC Magazine's Editor's Choice Winner for its excellent video quality, still image shooter, and big touch-enabled LCD, along with a variety of options enough to satisfy users. Hooray for options and ease of use!

This camera can do what?!?? With they Lytro, you take your photos now and adjust them later. Just click away and choose your point of focus later. Is this the end of blurry, messy, out of focus images? When you look at the photo image of the Lytro it appears very tiny, it is in fact much bigger at 4.4 inches by 1.6 inches. These funny shaped cameras have very few "clutter buttons" with the lens at one end and an LCD touch screen on the other end. The 8GB option can store up to 350 images and the 16 GB option can store up to 750 images.

iPads, iPhones, and iPods. Apple dominates many wish lists. It has been hard to miss the fact that the new iPhone 4s is available and poor Santa probably has them on back order. The 4s is faster, smarter, sharper, and better-er. With a more advanced camera and video recording along with the fun voice controlled "personal assistant", Siri. Are you holding out for the iPhone 5? Rumor has it that the next generation iPhone will not be available until Spring of 2012 (maybe as late as May), so if you or the Apple lover in your home can't wait that long, you might as well spring for the 4s. Another brilliant gift for the Apple lover is a gift card to the Apple store to use on all the groovy supplemental gadgets available for your favorite Apple devices.
