All men enjoy buying gadgets, we use excuses in order to justify the purchase. But what are the best 5 gadgets you’ve purchased and were they useful and are you still using them. Be honest whilst making your list, chances are no one will every see it.
Here’s my list …..
1. Apple iPad 2
Worth every penny. To be honest some would say go for Android and get something cheaper, but to be honest I made the right choice. Went for the 3G version, connect anywhere. Problem is everyone in the house now wants to use it……
2. Line 6 XT-Live
I have a number of guitars collected over the last 30 years, including a 1970 reissue Japanese Fender Stratocaster, add to this the two amplifiers stored in the attic – Peavey Valve amp and a Marshall. However one of the best investments the Line 6 POD – every amp and effect you could ever need, straight forward and simple to use.
3. Apple iPhone
Work phone honestly, great though syncs to everything, computer, google and even works in the car direct to the stereo. Problem is can never put it down. getting email all the time and having access to Facebook really is not a good thing. I have friends with Blackberries but honestly, how do they cope, difficult to use and really is it a sign they couldn’t afford the iPhone. By the way that last comment is a joke…
4. Tom Tom One
The purchase that was really good at the time but just sits in a draw as the phone does it all for free. Sat Nav devices have changed how we drive, many years ago you remembered the way to places a bit like remembering everyones telephone number, but we’ve all forgotten that skill. How often do you have to pull up your own name on your phone to give someone your number or call them…..
5. PS3
Not really for me though, purchase for my son – or that’s what most of them say I expect. Games are great, graphics brilliant and the blue-ray player amazing. We’ve just made a change and moved the 45inch LCD TV into the bedroom for my son to put the PS3 through and it’s brilliant. Very over the top but why not!
I’ve got lots more of bits and pieces but these are just the ones that have been great and met the purpose.
