New Toys & Gadgets

1. Have you gotten any new toys/gadgets lately? If so, what are they? If not, is there anything that you want?

No, I didn't get any new toys or gadgets lately. But I have read about this gadget called PMG QuadpadPro which is distributed by Tronic Distribution. It is a UMPC (Ultra Mobile Personal Computer). The QuadpadPro is touch sensitive so you just need to bring up the virtual keyboard on the 8.4 inch TFT LCD Touch Panel screen in SVGA 800 x 600 resolution. The hard disk can be configured between 40 to 100 GB, and opt for either 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB or 1 GB DDR memory. It is as compact, as 231 mm x 192 mm x 42 mm and as light at just 1.19 kg. Other features to be expected are 1.3 MP camera and PCMCIA slots to connect GPRS or 3G, and GPS.

2. Do you like learning how to use new toys/gadgets? Why/why not?

I used to be overwhelmed by new stuff. But then I realized that learning is an ongoing process and I pondered about why do I need to be afraid of learning about new stuff when I am not even a senior citizen yet! Sorry, don't mean to offend anyone here. Just that my mind set was so narrow and anything new was so foreign and scary to me. I tried to change my mind set and one helpful way was to expand my circle of friends and acquaintances to the younger generation. Try to learn from them and see what fascinates the younger folks.

3. Pick an outrageous toy/gadget that you want (price is no issue!). What is it? Why do you want it?

Besides the PMG QuadpadPro, perhaps the Nokia E90.
