An iPod Touch for a Gift

You may ask, "why would I give an iPod Touch to someone"? Well, that's a good question.  There are many great reasons.  The first thing to consider is who would want such a device.  The answer is pretty much any adult or teen.

The iPod is much, much more than an MP3 music player.  Because you can access WiFi connections, including those at libraries or coffee shops, you could use the iPod for accessing the internet.  An iPod provides you with a clear, easy to read screen, which allows you to pull up maps, coupons, local information, travel information and anything else that can be pulled up on a laptop, that is mobile device-friendly.

Many people would love to drive up to a coffee shop, buy their favorite mocha, and access the internet to see what's playing at a movie theatre.  But they don't want to have to drag out their laptop and start it up.  Nor do they want to pay for an expensive data plan for their cell phone.  Enter the iPod!

You just reach into your pocket, pull out the iPod, access the coffee shop's free WiFi and look up the info.  Simple!

A 64 Gb drive will hold and display a full library of music, images and video.  It is huge! 

Apple iPod touch 64 GB

You could also download a ton of fun and informative apps to make your iPod even more handy.

The other great thing is that they use the Apple iPod operating system, so you know it would be easy to use.

All in all, this makes for a great gift!

The Popularity of Toy Story 3

You can't deny it.  The Toy Story movie has captured the hearts of many kids and kids-at-heart.  Toy Story 3 is showing this by holding at the top of the list of DVDs for weeks so far. 

So, if you are looking for surefire winner of a DVD then look no further than Toy Story 3.  Available in DVD and Blu-Ray.

PlayStation Move Shooting Attachments

There is a growing list of cool shooting attachments and addons for the Sony PlayStation Move! Christmas will be all about the Move and First Person Shooter (FPS) games this year.

It really just depends upon what style of gun you prefer. And, of course, the type of character and weapon that you are playing in the game.

I will highlight all of the current attachments and let you decide which is best for you (or the person in which you are buying it).

Listed first are the Move Hand Guns.  There are currently 6 from which to choose.  The more rugged, realistic ones are the most popular, namely the Move Special Ops and Precision 3 guns. 

PlayStation Move Hand Guns (Pistols)

I really like the look of the Precision Shot 3 and Special Ops Shooter Guns best. 

They look quite a bit alike, don't they?  I believe that they are made for one or the other and rebranded.

Either way, I'm sure you won't care what it has for a name, as long as it works.

PlayStation Move Rifles

Again, the more rugged and realistic looking tend to be the most popular.

The Submachine Gun looks most interesting, as it incorporates the Move Motion Controller into the hand grip.  Plus it has a scope and a better shoulder rest.





Yes, this should be a fun Christmas and I'm sure the recipient of the attachment will have a blast!

PS3 Move Games You Can Play Today

The PlayStation Move 

is released today in North America!

But what can you play today?  Well, the good news is that there are plenty of fun Move games available already. 

In shops Now!

Sports Champions

This is the main game for PlayStation Move.  It is also the favorite, when previewed at the gaming conventions. This is the game Sony is hoping will bring the Nintendo Wii Sports to its knees.  Or atleast be just as fun.


It has quite an assortment of fun sports all rolled up into one fun video game.





Kung Fu Rider 


This is that bizarre game where you play as one of two characters which go around on a cart or something and kick stuff.  Yay!

** More PlayStation Move Games **

 Start The Party! 


Over 20 fun mini-games and challenges.  It's geared toward the whole family.  Most reviewers feel it was not ready for prime time.  I suggest holding off on this one.







Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 


The already popular game is ready for the PlayStation Move.  All those golfers out there should jump on this one! 








EyePet





The Eyepet is a continuation of the already very popular little furball.  This should be a great game for the youngster in your house. 

You can do such exciting things as modify fur length, color and pattern and choose from over 250 unique outfits.





Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest 

I personally look forward to this game.  The Move should be perfect for sword play and shooting arrows, among other things.

Get this game for the teen in your family!






There are plenty of games being released for the PlayStation Move.  Games for every age and interest. 

A Solar Battery Charger

A solar battery charger may seem a little too geeky, but it could be a lifesaver.

Besides, it's just plain cool!  A Folding Solar Panel Charger by Powerfilm is the best deal I have found.  And believe me, I have looked!

As a long distance cyclist and avid camper, I can honestly say that one of these could come in very handy.  The AA/USB charger will charge the more commonly used battery size and small USB powered devices, such as a smart phone.

Legos are Always a Great Christmas Present

I have a warm memories of building and playing with Legos when I was a kid.  They just keep evolving and getting better.  You can make functional robots, furniture, and even Lego games.  The fun, to me, is coming up with a clever design and seeing how it turns out.



One of the newest Lego products is a Shave a Sheep.   

Look at their goofy eyes!

Here is more about it:

Who will get the most wool from their sheep? Shear wool whenever you can - the other players will try to steal it from you or send the scary wolf your way! Grow, swap and scare your way to victory in this fast, fun and unpredictable game. For 2 to 4 players.

• Includes 1 buildable LEGO Dice
• Rule booklet and building instructions included
• 117 LEGO pieces

In North America it is known as Wild Wool.



One new set of Lego kits that are sure to be a hit this Christmas are those based upon Toy Story 3.
    

The brand new Western Train Chase, the Woody and Buzz Rescue, and the Dump Truck Rescue look very fun!

Number One Smart Phone for Christmas 2010 is the Motorola Droid

The Droid will likely be the number one smart phone of 2010.  It has outpaced the iPhone in US sales and it will likely continue this pace through Christmas and beyond.

It is a great gift choice as an upgrade or for a first-time smart phone recipient.  You really can't go wrong with  a Droid or Droid 2.

Along with a Droid it's also worth it to pick up some combo packs of cases, a screen protector, and chargers. You can save a LOT of money buy buying them via Amazon, especially as a combo pack.
