LIVEdigitally

Well, here we are at the end of 2006 and I thought I’d put together a little summary of my favorite technology of the year.  Now some of this stuff launched commercially prior to 2006, but this is the year I used it the most.  So check out the video, and if you want to read more about the products, the links are below (disclaimer: most links are to Amazon affiliate product listings).

Note: I did forget two things in the video, so I’m adding them here first:

• Best smartphones: T-Mobile Dash and HTC MTeoR
• Brilliant Image: I’ve got a whole review forthcoming, but in a nutshell, you upload a digital photo, they mail you a painting made from the photo.  It might sound odd, but it’s extremely impressive.  Check out the picture on the right for an idea of it. 

Now for the video itself (or click here to view it on YouTube):

The items in the video:

• The laptop: Vaio SZ series (you can read my review of the SZ160 here)
• The wireless mouse: Gyration
• The book: hackoff.com
• The remote: Harmony 880 (my review here)
• The camera: Canon sd800is (honorable mention for really impressive low-light pictures: Fuji F30)
• The backpack: Pacific Design Ruckus
• The best in convergence: Sonos (review) & Slingbox
• The video games: Godfather and Battle of Middle Earth II
• The inflight power adapter: Teleadapt
• The GPS unit: Nuvi 350
• The fabric (shmatta): Microfiber Electronics Cleaning Cloth
• The phone/PDA: PPC 6700
• The headphones: Shure e4c (review) and e500PTH (review)

Looking forward to the technology of 2007.  I’m curious as to how many of these products I’ll be using one year from today…
