Gadgets and gizmos

- Ginggay P. Joven -
What are the hottest electronic toys in the market today? Here are some of them along with a few has-beens. Happy tinkering!

Personal Digital Assistant

IN:
HP Jornada

The Jornada is more than a PDA. It’s a PC and PDA in one. It has enough memory (and more memory chips available) to store movies, books, sound bites, etc.

OUT:
Palm IIIC

When this product first came out, everyone raved about its colored-screen function. But you know how technology goes…one season you sell like pancakes, next thing you know, you’re phased out.

Mobile phones

IN:
Nokia 9210 Communicator (A phone that serves as a mini PC where you can surf the Net and use it as a PDA.), Nokia 8310 (It has a built-in radio.), Ericsson T68 (It has a built-in joystick and has a colored screen.)

OUT:
Nokia 8210, Nokia 3310, and Nokia 8810

Game Consoles

IN:
Sony PlayStation 2

It’s also a DVD player and Internet ready, Microsoft X-box, Sega Dreamcast

OUT:
Sony PlayStation 1, Super Nintendo, Super Family Computer

Notebook Computers

IN:
iBook (has a built-in DVD burner, G3 processor, and is incredibly fast.), Titanium iBook (G4 processor in a small package)

OUT:
The candy-colored iBook (it was cute but so legally blonde!)

Digital Cameras

IN:
Fujifilm 6800Zoom (a digi-cam, video recorder, and audio recorder in one)

OUT:
Anything that pixels of resolution has holds only 1.3 mega …time to move up!
