Yesterday I was in drooling all over my desk at some tech rumors and product announcements. First up was Garmin’s announcement of the Forerunner 405. While I don’t plan on running another marathon, I do plan on running to keep in shape. It’s hard to justify purchasing it, but since it can work as a normal watch, maybe I need a new watch!
Second up on my list is the rumor that Apple will have a dockable laptop based on a patent application that was recently granted. Unfortunately the patent was filed a year and a half ago, so it coming to light now could be a mere coincidence. Apple patents everything, so who knows if this will become a product. I’m crossing my fingers that it will be, and I’ll jump at purchasing it if it comes to be. Right now my MacBook Pro has 7 cables coming out of it that I have to unplug every time I want to move it which is a pain.
While not really a gadget or technology, LEGO released new sets for 2008 including Indiana Jones based sets (which don’t really fit into my collection, but they’re cool). They also have new City sets which will fit in perfectly in my collection. The problem is, plastic LEGOs aren’t cheap!
I’ll start saving my pennies now to buy all my gadgets.
