Some kids really are tech freaks when it comes to certain types of technology and they have to have the best of the best. So choosing a TV without LCD or a Camera without the latest technology; is simply a no go! Thankfully the year 2008 brought us a lot of crazy technological products that have seemed to really "wow" people for the most part. You would think these products would be super expensive but, they really aren't especially for what you get. All of these products are high quality brands such as Sony, Samsung, Acer, Garmin, Canon & Nikon and most of us know that these companies do not skimp out when it comes to the features, benefits or the options! Below are just a few of these very affordable products. Have fun!
Garmin nuevi 255W 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator - This is actually one of the more popular GPS systems that are out right now and with good reason considering its packed with all sorts of crazy options and its got a really nice price tag to go along with it. CNET reviewed this as being one of the top 5 best GPS systems available to consumers right now! Garmin's nAvi 255W improves upon its 200-series predecessors by adding top-of-the-line features such as FM traffic updates or MSN Direct content to an entry-level line. But Garmin is also presenting some significant improvements with this new series, like a predictive technology that provides quicker satellite lock, a redesigned screen with more data, terrain mappings, and an exciting new photo navigation feature. The 255W adds complete maps for North America and Text-to-Speech, so you get turn by turn verbal guidance's with the real names of streets (e.g. "turn left in 50 feet at Nebraska Way", rather than merely "turn left in 50 feet"). The 255W also offers a wide 4.3-inch (diagonal) screen that exposes 70% more of the road around you.

Acer Aspire One 8.9-inch Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, XP Home, 6 Cell Battery) Sapphire Blue - The Acers are all incredible because they are a fantastic way for someone to own a laptop but not have to pay the huge price tag of a Dell or a Gateway! This one is a mere $369 which is incredibly cost efficient and it includes some really great features! A great choice for business travelers who like to travel light as well as those who need extra-long battery life, this affordable ultra-lightweight Acer Aspire One (LU.S050B.133) weighs just over 2 pounds and is jam-packed with a 160 GB hard drive and Windows XP operating system.

PSP 3000 Limited Edition Ratchet and Clank Entertainment Pack - Silver - I actually just bought one of these a few weeks ago and they are absolutely incredible. It's nothing like the old school Game Boy you used to have! The colors are amazing, you can get online with the PSP, customize it, play video games, videos, music, you can even put your pictures on this thing! Now there are two options as of now as far as I know. There is the first version which is a little bit bulkier and there is this new 3000 version which is incredibly light and has a "skinny" look to it. It also has a built in mic, wifi for hot spots (which lets you play against other people), memory stick DUO and tons of other things. Seriously this thing could be $300 and it would still be well worth it. Fortunately for you it's a mere $190 for this big package!
Kindle: Amazon's Wireless Reading Device - Revolutionary electronic-paper display provides a sharp, high-resolution screen that looks and reads like real paper. Simple to use: no computer, no cables, no syncing. Wireless connectivity enables you to find, buy, and read instantly whether you're in the back of a taxi, at the airport, or in bed. Shop the Kindle Store directly from your Kindle. Buy a book and it is auto-delivered wirelessly in less than one minute. This item is so awesome that even the well-known author James Patterson commented on it saying; "The screen is fabulous. You would expect that, with a screen, there would be a glare, it would be hard to read but it's not. There's no glare. It's not backlit, which is kind of magical. I think people are going to be very, very surprised and delighted. This is a lot easier to read than a lot of books are these days." James Patterson! If this is good enough for Patterson, then you better be darn sure it's going to be good enough for anyone you buy it for!
All of these products have been highly rated amongst consumers and users alike. Sites like Download and CNET have also given these products high reviews because they are not only "popular" items but, they also are of the best quality available these days. In a lot of cases, parents really try to get their kids whatever they want on Christmas or around the holidays; but sometimes this is a really hard thing to accomplish simply because of things like; work, the economy, or just the high price factor! Thankfully for us, these above-mentioned items are clearly the best route to take to not only make your kids or your family happy, but also make your wallet happy as well!
