The best Christmas Gadget are still available for your loved ones at R5, open til Christmas eve.

Come on in and check out great gadgets like these:

Mini Air Hockey
You’ll need super quick reactions (and a bit of luck!) if you are to be the winner on this Air Hockey game. Like its bigger brother this miniature version also uses a cushion of air to allow the puck to shoot across the surface. Complete with sound effects and score dials, you can now play this well loved game just about anywhere.

Bladez 3D
Normally as things improve they tend to get smaller. In most cases this for the best and is genuinely well received. Sometimes though, when you spend your hard earned cash, you expect something that can’t fit in the palm of your hand. The last thing you want is to look at something and think “is that it?”. The Bladez 3D certainly can’t be accused of not giving you value for money!

Measuring in at a whopping 38cm it certainly makes some of our other helicopters look a little bit on the tiny side. Due to its size we would recommend this helicopter to ‘intermediate to advanced’ flyers, or in other words, if 9 times out of 10 you can normally fly a helicopter round your partners head without scalping them! It also means that this is not helicopter to terrorise your office colleagues with, although if ‘terror’ is what you’re looking for then maybe it is!

Its extra length means that it is more capable of handling a little breeze now and again, so on a good day can be taken outside. It also has collapsible blades witch is an ingenious idea that we expect other indoor helicopters to copy. The blades are attached by a pivot which takes a lot of the energy away when ever they make contact with anything (but please don’t stick your hand in to find out).

The Bladez 3D is a 3 channel (forwards, backwards, left, right, up & down) helicopter that offers you precision and power, whilst being robust and fun to fly.

Specification:
- Dimentions: 37.5(L) x 8(W) x 17.5(H) cms
- Rechargeable 7.4v Li-Poly (mains adaptor included)
- 3 Channel remote (requires 4 xAA)
- Intelligent RC system reduces interference from other RC users
- Energy saving power cut off
- Smooth hovering performance
- 1hour charge gives 15 minutes flying time.
- Suitable for ages 14+

With the shops putting up their decorations and December only a week and a half away I have been asked that yearly question once again, what do you want for Christmas?

Well this year I have managed to amass a Canon 450D Digital SLR Camera, a 32″ Samsung Widescreen Plasma TV and hopefully a Playstation 3 with Blu-Ray all for very little or no cost. Which has king of left me with nothing to joke around with, like you can get me this nice $1,000 camera I’ve seen – as I not have that.

I think I’d be quite happy with accessories this year. A wireless adapter for the Xbox 360 would be really nice as I can’t bare to spend my own money on something that should really come as standard in such a “next-gen” console. That or something for the camera or a USB toy usually goes down a treat.

So what’s on your tech list for Santa?

If you have not yet read the latest gadgets, magazine or you have not yet browsed the Internet, it will really be impossible for you to have all the latest gadgets on hand because you will not instantly know its specs and how important it is to have such. If you are going to have all these things in mind, you can go to www.gadgetadvisor.com so you will know exactly what to have on hand and you will not end up regretting every purchase that you have not made. In this case, you can also refer on to this when you will need the PC hardware, software, and tech news and you will no longer have to look for a trusted site that can tell you exactly what to have and what not to grab. So, make the most of what you can from this site so you will never be misled.

Also, how can I not like a blog that has ‘GPU Accelerated Computing‘ as their Featured Article?
Some of the other posts that stood out at Gadget Advisor for me are

This Review is something I have been looking at recently and this review was very usefull in looking at a couple of choices I have.

For those who are into your technical gadgets (like us) seeing new products being released onto the market is as exciting as a small child standing in a candy store.

One product that has been a hot topic for the last few months is the HTC Touch Diamond. Many individuals think its the perfect addition for any college student, business worker, or just someone who loves to have the top of the line products. (again like us).

This particular model not only looks stunning but has some amazing specs as well. It includes Windows Mobile 6.1, and is a quad-band HSDPA 7.2! With one touch navigation and single-finger dialing you will save time when in a hurry. As you rotate the phone there is a built in accelerometer that rotates your pictures. With one-touch music playback the animated music browser enhances your listening experience. This model includes several animated features such as the weather forecast app, full featured desktop like web browser, including zoom features, youtube apps, and other amusing features.

You will be able to download wallpapers, games, ring tones, and other applications with ease. Storing videos and songs onto your HTC Touch Diamond can be easily done within just a few seconds. You can even enjoy as many as 60 channels on the mobile TV that comes along with this product.

The battery life that comes with the HTC Touch Diamond has been improved from earlier models. This will allow you to use yours for a longer period of time without having to worry about stopping to charge it when your in a hurry or on the go.
