I finally broke down and bought a new keyboard. It is just some HP multimedia keyboard I got from walmart for $20. It is the same layout as my old dell keyboard I have had for prob 6-7 years now. It has nice quite smooth keys which are really nice to type on.
What new gadgets have you all got yourself lately?
Finally upgraded my phone to a blackberry curve. Seems pretty well designed hardware and software so far.
You seriously should have gotten the Bold... wifi makes the world go round.
New gadgets? Dymo DiscPainter, OQO 01+ - I just had to get one that price I found, Lando Carlrissian Mighty Muggs - dude, it's Billy Dee Williams (!!), Jawbone 2...

Still hasn't arrived but it does have a usb port.
Fuji's s100FS. Swee! Snap, snap...
New microphone for interviews.

Sony ECM77B
Nice Lav mic. Why not wireless?
New cellphone....yea thats about it
New turntable. Wooooooooooooow with a $240 cartridge... makes me nervous.
Aside from that... not much. Could use some IEMs for work, possibly a Zen Stone to go with it. I'm thinking of buying an old ipod mini (imo the best design) and replacing the HD with a 16gb Compact flash and rockboxing it. Also, tapping the signal straight from the DAC so I can use some HUGE caps out the dock... should be pretty cheap.

oh sexy. where you get a hold of that?
I spent too much during the weekend.
Got a new laptop (dell xps), new ipod dock, new keyboard and a sweet logitech wireless mouse.
The new Canon xsi arrives tomorrow, and the most important thing...I had to buy a suit (ugh ugh ugh) for a wedding this weekend.
I expect post over in the photo forum. Especially some shots from the wedding!
New HP laptop.
Same here...I guess it was about a month ago but it's still fairly new.Quote:

I have my eye on either some HP or the Dell business models. Those Vostros are nice. My uncle in law just had one here while he was staying the week and it was very nice.
my brand new macbook should be arriving any day now... does that count?
Well I can tell you guys right now we see more brand new Dells with defective parts come through the Fire Dog station at Circuit City than anything else. They had their time, but the Day of the Dell is over.
Goddamnit. I can't win.

I mean it does make sense to have the preview and delete near the directional buttons but I really like the 20D layout and the new 40D is pretty slick too. Long live the scroll wheel and die print button(unless they finally allow it to be programmed to do something the user chooses)
i'm waiting for that 360 price drop to come true before i buy any new gadgets.
i tried buying wii fit the other day, but all the stores around me were sold out.
ha, i'm not going anywhere near it with liquid.Quote:

I think you need to get plastic covers for all your stuff.
I mean obviously people will have drinks near a laptop but why don't manufactures just make the keyboard part sealed from the rest? Yeah I get it if they dump liquid on it they get someone buying a whole new one but that is just bad business imo.
It's a lot of fun. I used this site to notify me when it was in stock so that I could order it from Circuit City.Quote:

not played with my wii nearly as much as i would have liked yet (been busy with other stuff).
still waiting to see one in stores. free wii items are a plus for me.
Thats not a gadget!Quote:

Tamron Autofocus 28-105mm f/4-5.6 (IF) Lens for my Sony DSLR-a100k.
Pictures. End of story for you all.
huh?
All you people with all your new camera gear but ZERO post in the photo forum. GET ON IT!
Those Lando mugs are useless unless you fill them with Colt 45.
...works every time!
Picked up the brand new jawbone BT headset today...suh-weet.
