Christmas Tech Crunch: 5 Last Minute Gift Ideas for the Digitally-Minded

  
  
  
  

Ok, so it's just a few days before Christmas, but if you're scrambling to get your gifts wrapped up, here are some ideas, both big and small, for the technically-inclined on your list:

 

Kindle Fire - $199

The first real competitor to the iPad. Amazon's Kindle Fire links up with all of Amazon's servces, including books, music, magazines, viedo and music. Wicked fast web browser, too. A pretty cost-friendly tablet alternative. 

Digital Music - $10 and up

Gift cards (actual cards or online certificates) can satisfy any music lover in your life. And there are lots of choices. iTunes, Pandora One (premium version without ads, available at Target), MOG (also at Target) or Rdio. Oh, the choices!

Belkin Conserve Smart Power Strip - $30

Ok, admittedly this idea isn't very "sexy," but it is smart. This is a power strip that let's you control your TV and all other components with one button. When you turn your TV off, power to the peripheral components goes off too-including standby power-so no energy is wasted.

Portable/Handheld GPS - good ones are around $100

Garmin makes a highly rated one (available at Radio Shack, among other stores) that has features such as spoken street names, a speed limit indicator (for those of you that pay attention to that stuff) and storing of your trip mileage and max speed. A funny but useful gift for that person with a poor sense of direction...

Wireless Charging Mat - around $50

Depending on the device, there are all sort of new charging stations to make powering up more convenient. For the iPhone, a cool-looking accessory is a "powermat" that makes charging as easy as setting it down. 

 

Good luck, and from all of us at iMedia, we hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday.
