With Christmas around the corner...... budget low and in need of a new gadget? Where is your money going?

I was so sure that I would get the next version of Nokia N800 whenever it gets released that I hardly showed any interest in devices with similar capabilities. N810 announced, my decision changed and I started taking interest in ASUS Eee PC. The fact that there is NO way to expand its memory storage(other than attaching a non-portable external USB hard disk) made me give up on it.
Now I am thinking about Archos 640 WiFi. Never owned an Archos device, so should be a good experience to see how a full-fledged media player performs with various media formats when compared to my current favourite N800. Unless something more interesting comes up, I am going to buy it this Christmas.

Both are so damn cheap, yet innovative, that I really had no choice. Technology for the masses!

Nothing for me this year. Looked at the Eee, even looked at the N810. By boss gave me a laptop and a BlackBerry and they made my N800 being without a job. Haven't booted it up since.
So i guess this XMas the money goes to the wife and kids.

My Xmas money just went to a Pepper Pad 3. Woohoo! (no Eee, sob sob!)
As it's coming from the States, I just hope I'll get it before Xmas.

Nothing for me for Xmas proper this year.
Last Xmas I bought me a Kohjinsha SA1 which is like the hidden ancestor of the Asus EEE.
Thus I know that these tiny devices are hugely useful and enjoyable, AND very complementary to the Nokia tablets (I still use my 770 as much as before). But I'm not in any haste to get one, will wait until the dust, hype and frenzy settles down.
As for the N810, as I already have a BT GPS and keyboard, I have just snagged a cheap (for Europe :-) N800 on the local eBay. I hope it arrives just in time for the OS2008 release, so I can join in the fun without having to wait again for an OS2008HE for my 770 :-)

PS3 for me, probably the 40GB version - I've got to have something on which to watch my all time favourite film, the Blu-Ray edition of "Blade Runner - The Final Cut"!
