How quickly the "wired" becomes the "tired!"

This quick round-up was published in September, it's November and there's already better products!

Note: "don't buy gadget technology until you're ready to use it straight away"

Nikon Coolpix S52c --> Sony T500 (better pics, plus HD video! Just add a wifi stick)

Blackberry Bold -- > Blackberry Storm or better, Google G-Phone T-Mobile G1

MSI Wind --> should have reported the $619 price increase in time for publishing, just one of many "mini-notebooks" ... not $500 ... not "Grade A"

Cowon A3 --> Any PMP under $299! (check out pmptoday or any PMP site)

Jaybird --> (covering both ears is illegal and does not meet the CA law for cell phones)

Helius solar backpack --> Any ergo backpack, just add a solar panel or Google "solar backpack" ... combine a hand-crank and shoe power ... let's talk Pop Sci!
