Keep in mind that many all-in-one printers cannot use the scan (not sure about fax) functionality through a wireless router. With more folks printing less and scanning more, using a wi-fi router might not work for them. You can get a wireless USB hub, but that might cost more than a new wireless AIO printer.

I thought these were great ideas - was about to make the plunge on a bluelounge sumo a few months back. Then I looked around my desk and found that many things we have in our homes can be used to achieve the same effect. For instance, my brother gave me a small stone carved elephant as a souvenir from India. Wrap your cable inbetween it's legs and there you go - a nice catcher for a cable, and a reason to keep the trinket.

Yikes! I remember thinking the HTC Evo was too big. They just keep growing and growing huh.

@Susan - I also thought I would never lose my USB keychain - until it slipped out of my pocket while running. The keychain had my home and car keys and I couldn't remember if the drive had any personal data on it!

Suffice it to say, I quickly had my girlfriend get me back into the house, and I re-cammed the door knob immediately!

Been waiting years to replace my off-brand LCD HDTV. While I'm curious of what OLED will offer in the upcoming years, I'm not convinced they should cost more than the current LCD or LED sets now. If the manufacturers think OLED is another reason to push the prices of TVs back to when HDTV was still in it's infancy, I'll stick with older models.

I find the pebble perplexing - lots of folks stopped wearing wristwatches because they already have a clock on their phone. The concept of the pebble is that you DO need a wristwatch to look at your phone. This isn't really adding any solutions, just more stuff to carry around.

I bet the backers of that fund are going to enjoy the watch for about a week before leaving it at home.

ugh.

Years ago I invested so much money into Slappa CD & DVD wallets to keep the disks and inserts intact and discarded the jewel cases - never realized reselling them would require the original jewel case!

Would've been better off boxing them up in the jewel cases and leaving them in the basement somewhere.

If people stopped talking on bluetooth headsets in public, why would they wear these?

I'm one of those guys who marred the back of their iPhone with velcro to have it stick securely to the dashboard.

This thing would be perfect for me. Not sure how it'll do in a moving, bouncing and vibrating car - but for $11 it's worth a shot!

I may be the only person in the world who doesn't get eyestrain when reading off a non-eInk display.

I read Kindle books on my Mac display screen at home, on my Dell display at work, and my iPad when at school - I never get eyestrain, and it helps when i'm writing an essay on the material. Usually i'm reading for a couple of hours going back and forth from writing.

I can't wait to see the new retina display on the new iPad.

Great list!

Can you recommend a set of bluetooth headphones (no bluetooth dongle) for iPhone runners?

I've given up on my 2nd Gen Nano after my 4th set of Nike+ dongles failed to sync. I also locked myself out once too - so it's just better with a phone.

Can't wait to see that new display in person.

I am a little surprised that the iPad 2 price point is at $399. At $299 or even $349 it would've become a much more attractive option compared to other tablets. But I guess the component costs are still high.

I'm digging the Windows Metro interface - but not the "desktop" interface underneath it. I'm also skeptical if the "no compromise" Windows 8 experience will truly run as well on ARM based tablet as an intel i7 tablet. Other than that - I still like the direction Microsoft is going.

I use mine all the time.

It's the first thing I use to surf the web when I wake up, and many times the last thing I'm looking at when I fall asleep. In between - I'm either using it at school, or playing games, or doing some personal shopping or browsing.

To all of those who say they don't need an iPad - technically we don't need a TV, a smart phone, or broadband internet. These are all things we want.
