Places to read about new gizmos
I've been browsing sites that take note of new technological toys. In particular, I'm waiting for the perfect phone/email/browser combo, I'm wondering if the Canon i80 is the right compact printer to buy for my family room, and I'm thinking I should have a digital camera to take to Vietnam in February that could use regular AA batteries in a pinch.
I've been using the rss feed from Gizmodo to try to keep up with what's coming out (an impossibe task), and I like that pretty well.
A couple of people have noted lately that there are a couple of sites covering technology specifically from a woman's angle (not that I am a woman, but it's an interesting twist) - these might be worth a look if you're interested in seeing whether women have a different take on gadgets:
Popgadget and Shiny Shiny. After a quick glance, I like Popgadget better - they seem a little more substantive, and don't cover things that seem just sort of silly to me, like LCD monitors that turn into handbags. Plus, Popgadget did cover the Octodog Frankfurter Converter, pictured here:
