Jack Germain at Tech News World reviews some high tech gifts he thinks might please your inner geek.
While he praises Pinnacle’s tiny HDTV, I’m not enthused about Pinnacle, because I’ve found their movie making software unstable and crash prone. Maybe Pinnacle’s hardware is better than their software. Mr. Germain really made me drool over the pocket web surfer, Pepper Pad, however:

I’m going to try to get a deal today; my husband’s birthday is coming up and I want to amaze him with something he’ll really enjoy and can’t live without, once he owns it (Over the years, I’ve done pretty well: I hooked him on PDAs, a laptop, cell phones, a PS2, 
digital cameras, star gazing, chess games, Verizon FiOS, HDTV. I have no idea what his next birthday gift is. stumped… )
What are you getting your family for Christmas? And if you have a great idea for a tech gadget gift, suggest a gift for Bill (my hubby). Don’t worry; he’ll never find out what I got him. He doesn’t surf the web; he makes me do that for him, instead.
On the other hand, we’re cleaning out our house, room by room, and I’m ashamed to say how much stuff we’ve accumulated that is now totally outdated and unwanted. Bill took a large old TV to the dump yesterday and he tried to recycle it, but the supervisor at the dump said: ‘no, throw it into the recycling bin!’ So Bill tossed it and when it landed, out spilled its guts, old circuit boards and all. At that moment, Bill felt like he had just betrayed a dear old friend. After all, that TV worked! and now it’s lying in ruins at the bottom of a trash bin; it’s become unwanted, dangerously polluting trash. We couldn’t give it away, but as Bill told me later, maybe we should have kept it and found a use for it. So, we both made a pact to each other to only buy what we know we will use and keep for years.
