Techie Gadgets

You probably don’t need to be reminded that Valentine’s day is happening this weekend – your girlfriend or wife might have been doing all the reminding for you. If the special lady in your life is into gadgets but don’t have the money to spare for something expensive, get her interesting accessories instead! Here are some gift ideas she might like.

If there’s anything I hate, it’s those boring black laptop bags that usually come free with laptops. Try getting her a cute laptop bag from Bratty Bonita. They look just like regular purses, which she will definitely appreciate, but they also have protective foam inside as well as pockets for a charger, mouse, and other peripherals.

I love it when fashion designers collaborate with electronics manufacturers to create stylish, limited edition gadgets. Coming up on March is a limited edition Sony PSP designed by Jill Stuart. Called the Jill Stuart Sweet Limited Package, this pink PSP kit comes with a new Spring Blossom pink PSP-3000, a 4GB Memory Stick, as well as a cleaning cloth and carrying case (or “limited porch” as the website says) designed by Jill Stuart. The Jill Stuart Sweet Limited Package will be released in Japan on March 4 for ¥21,000 ($232). No news if it will be available outside Japan on the same date.

Check out the Sony PSP website for more info.

I never did get around to writing a review for my Panasonic Lumix LX3, which is a shame because it’s such a good camera. I’ll get around to doing so one of these days, I swear! For now, feast your eyes on the latest in the Panasonic Lumix line – the ZR3. This sleek camera is only an inch thick and packed with all sorts of amazing features – a 25mm ultra-wide angled lens (the LX3 has a 24mm wide-angled lens), an 8x optical zoom, and the ability to record HD video in ACVHD Lite HD format. It’s also got happy mode, face recognition, and other iA features; in fact, Panasonic says that it only has a 1.1 second start-up speed and can focus in just 0.26 seconds. The LCD screen is about 2.7 inches wide and automatically adjusts the brightness for optimum viewing. Finally, you can use SD/SDHC cards and SDXC cards to store your photos and videos. SDXC cards, in case you don’t know, can occupy terabytes of storage!

Availability and price is not yet known, but the Lumix ZR3 seems to be a fairly solid camera – not to mention compact. I suggest you get it when you can!
