'Tis the Season...for Gadgets!

With Christmas just around the corner, I like to think about all of the cool tech toys I'm lucky enough to have, even while I dream about the ones that are on my wishlist. When someone asks you, "What do you want for Christmas?" there are several things you can ask for, such as health, happiness, or lots of iTunes gift cards. Here's a sneak peek at my Christmas wishlist, featuring some of the season's hottest gifts:
1. iPhone 4S - Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few months, then you
know that a new iPhone was released in October. The iPhone 4S features an 8-megapixel camera, HD video recorder, and an estimated 8-hour talk time. This smartphone also features a witty know-it-all guide known as "Siri", who can give you directions, read you your morning texts, and tell you the weather all through a series of smart voice commands. The iPhone 4S is available with a black or white case, and can be yours for $199.
2. Kindle - We brought you an in-depth look at the Kindle Fire back in November, and these tablets make smokin' gifts. There are 6 different models to choose from, ranging in price from $79-$199. The different versions cover a range from a $79 eBook reader to the $199 Kindle Fire which also plays videos and has full color apps.
3. Lamborghini Aventador LP700 4 - But Santa...I've been so good all year!
The only thing that would top this car on my list of "WantWantWant" would be the Batmobile. This v12 700-horsepower monster costs about $387,000 and would make for the most thrilling driving experience ever. And although I'm pretty sure that this beautiful machine won't be parked under my Christmas tree anytime soon, it sure is nice to dream!
4. Xbox Kinect - If you have an Xbox 360, this add-on is an essential no-brainer. Not only do you get games that you can play biometrically, like bowling or boxing, but now you can also use it as a voice-activated controller to watch movies and listen to music. The Kinect will run you around $99...just make sure you have plenty of room to move around once you get it.
These are just a few things that would make great Christmas presents this year, especially #3! What's on your wishlist this year? Tell us below...you never know - Santa might be reading this article too!
