Wondering what to get your favorite online editor or multimedia journalist for Christmas this year? Here are some techie tools they can’t refuse.
Flip UltraHD
$199 | More info
The latest Flip camera features image stabilization and can hold up to two hours of high definition video.
But the coolest thing? You can make sure your Flip is completely unique by designing your own cover. Just upload a photo or a design through the Flip website.
Radtech sleeve
$25 | More info
Protect your laptop while on the go with these laptop sleeves from Radtech. They double as a screen cleaner and are machine washable. Or choose from Radtech’s impressive selection of bags, cleaners and screen protectors.
Chumby
$150 | More info
What’s a Chumby? Good question. It’s kind of like a mix of an iPod Touch and an alarm clock. The Chumby lets you run apps – “from sports scores to stock quotes, from video clips to interactive games, from photos to trivia.” Put oneĀ next to your bed or on your desk.
Google TV
$300 | More info
It’s Google TV. How will this not be a success? Or perhaps you would prefer Apple TV or the Roku. Either way you’ll bring the power of the Internet (and Netflix streaming) to your TV.
Glif
$20 | More info
Take your iPhone moviemaking to the next level with this product that makes your phone tripod-friendly. Or use it to prop up your phone for easily viewing movies and e-mails.
Owle Bubo
$170 | More info
Put your iPhone moviemaking on steroids with the Owle Bubo. Your iPhone fits right into this device, giving you an external microphone and a much easier-to-grip camera. It’s also tripod friendly.
Holga camera
$27 | More info
Go back to your photography roots with this plastic camera that leaks light and requires you to manually advance the film (film!). That’s right, complete creative control is yours! Enjoy. Especially enjoy that classic Holga vignetting effect.
Photo paddles
$10 | More info
Everyone looks better with a mustache or a cowboy hat. These photo paddles from Photojojo can help make that happen. Be sure to check out all the fun photo accessories (camera lens bracelets!) available in their store.
What tech toys are at the top of your list?
I might have to get the Owle Bubo.
