From childhood we are used to wish lists for Christmas. I even remember the times when I used to draw what I wanted and write a little story explaining to Santa why I deserved the gifts.

Time has passed, but the wish list remained, even if now I’m buying the gifts. So without furthermore tattle let’s see what I want this year.

I’ll start with less inexpensive ones and then advance to more “serious” products:

A watch - Fossil Men’s Blue watch CH2490

I had a sporty Swatch which I bought a couple of years ago but the battery emptied and the screen broke after a knock out hit from a wall (I know, technically not the wall hit my watch…).

Now I’m thinking of a Fossil, because they’re relatively cheap but precise nonetheless. The CH2490 is a perfect combination of style and spottiness. At least that’s what I believe.

Fossil CH2490’s case is made from stainless steel and is water resistant up to 100 meters. For 146$ it’s a bargain and should suit a wide range of tastes.

A portable hard drive - Western Digital Passport 250GB (Black)

A portable hard drive always comes handy, no matter if you have a laptop or not. I prefer 2.5 inch format not only because it’s smaller than 3.5 inch, but also because it doesn’t require a power cable and adaptor, so it’s easy to carry around in your vest pocket.

Western Digital Passport not only looks astonishing in black with blue power LED, but also can be found in up to 300 GB capacities. For me the 250 GB version has the best price/capacity ratio now, that’s why I’m opting for it.

A small laptop - ASUS Eee PC 4G PC (7″, 512 MB RAM), Pearl White

Even if I have a laptop I really need something smaller, thinner which isn’t a paint in the a** to carry around. Of course I want it to be cheap, a word that doesn’t go well with ultra portable, but that was true till one month ago, when ASUS released the Eee PC, a 7 inch laptop with outdated components and a very small hard drive: only 4 GB.

This didn’t stop people to buy it till it got out of stock in many shops. Even if I would prefer the 8 GB version, with rumored 10 inch screen and black paint, I’ll probably go for the Eee PC 4G version, which currently sales for under 400 bucks, 399 $ to be precise.

A new smartphone - HTC Touch Cruise

Since I’ve owned my first smartphone, the Nokia E70, I didn’t want to go back to a regular phone. Now I have an ASUS P525, which I hope to soon replace with HTC Touch Cruise, a Windows Mobile smartphone which will hit the shelves hopefully before Christmas. I’m guessing it will cost under 600 $ (or Euros in Eastern Europe, where I live).

What makes this boy special is the Touch Flo interface made by HTC. The rest of the specs are top notch, as expected from a Q4 2007 smartphone: GPS, 128 MB RAM, 3.2 megapixels camera and Windows Mobile 6 Professional. Below there’s a small video which demonstrates Touch Flo.
