From the hundreds of mp3 players the one I like is the SanDisk Sansa Fuze 8 GB Video MP3 Player. I have found the Sansa Fuze with a big discount on Overstock.com.

I need a simple but smart mp player and 8Gb are enough for me (my actual mp3 player has 2GB memory).

SanDisk Sansa Fuze 8 GB Video MP3 Player features:

• Listen, watch, and play all day with 24 hours of battery life and room for up to 2,000 songs
• Watch your favorite video clips or share your photos on the 1.9-inch color screen
• Digital FM radio with 40 preset stations
• Voice recording with built-in microphone
• Expand your existing 8 GB memory with the microSD/microSDHC slot

24 hours battery life is very good for an mp player.

I think the 8GB will be enough. If not I will use a microSD – I have one I don’t use.

Before I go in my vacation I want to get some new gadgets. The first on the list is a compact digital camera. I do have a semi professional comer but is large and a little heavy. It is great for the time a I need super quality pictures but for vacations it is a uncomfortable. This is why I want a a compact camera.

The model I prefer is Fuji 10.2m pixel digital camera A170. It has 10 megapixels which are enough for an amateur photograph in vacation.

The main A170 features  are:

• 2.7in LCD screen
• 3x Optical Zoom
• Simple and Easy shooting functions
• Anti-blur image stabilization
• Playback functions including: Slideshow, multi-frame playback, sorting by date, image rotate, trimming

This is all I need fron a compact camera.

The second gadget I want is one of the portable audio system. I have seen hundreds of hi-fi systems and the one I like is the Philips Lifestyle DAB CD micro hi-fi system with iPod docking station.

Lifestyle DAB CD main features are:

• the CD player and you can play and charge your iPod or iPhone using the dock at the front
• you can plug in an MP3 player via USB port
• dynamic bass boost
• digital sound control which offers optimized equalizer settings
• DAB radio with pre-sets

I want to plug in my Mp3 in this audio system and enjoy music in my vacation.

Why I like the HTC Desire

Everything looks brighter on the brilliant 3.7 inch AMOLED display. This stunning touch screen is perfectly proportioned for web browsing and delivers incredible picture depth.
The new HTC Sense interface has been designed to be user-friendly. Tap the screen, swipe it, and you’ll discover your apps – no complication involved.

Pricing and availability

Like any other phone the HTC Desire deals are very different depending on the monthly plan – if you choose one. The best offer I’ve seen was the phone for free with a £25 monthly plan which include600 minutes and unlimited texts . The minimum contract length for this plan is 24 months.

or too long the mobile phone has dominated the landscape of techno communications, while the trusty watch was left alone on the bedside table, gathering dust while we, its selfish masters, galavanted from meeting to meeting, keeping time with our trusty pocket sized PDA’s. The mobile phone heartlessly usurped the watch of its fundamental duties but the ‘sWap Watch’ is out for revenge and will not stop until the mobile phone has gone the way of the Sun Dial and the Dodo.

The tables have now been turned. The sWap Watch doesn’t just double as a mobile phone – it’s like having a multimedia centre strapped to your wrist, and all without the crushing shoulder strain.

• A watch, a mobile phone and a media centre all rolled into one.

• Pop your SIM card (not included) into the watch and it’s easy to make and receive calls
• 1.5 inch TFT color touch screen so you can watch movies! (176 x 128 resolution).
• Includes a hands free kit, Bluetooth headset and a stylus (plus one spare) for negotiating the touch screen.
• The stylus is stored in a handy slot built in to the watch strap.
• No need to buy a new SIM card – simply take it out of your mobile and pop it in the watch.
• Receives SMS, MMS and can display recent and missed calls.
• Store up to 300 contacts.
• Built in alarm clock has 5 different tones to choose from.
• Compatible with all networks except 3.
• Record audio using the hands-free kit’s mic and use the craftily concealed 1.3 megapixel camera to take pics and record video.
