If you’re on the lookout for a great gift for the geek in your life, look no further. We’ve compiled a list of the year’s hottest geek gifts, just for you.
Amazon Kindle ($259) – The Amazon Kindle is the top e-book reading device available on the market. Geeks love the ability to carry around a virtual library in their pockets, right next to their iPod and laptop. Over 10,000 titles are now available for download, so finding the perfect book will never be a problem.
Droid from Verizon Wireless ($150 + 2 year service contract) – Dubbed by insiders as the “iPhone Killer,” the Droid is the next hot device angling for some of the iPhone’s intimidating market share. This phone is packed with great features and supported by cutting-edge Google technology.
Blu-Ray Player ($150 and up) – A Blu-Ray player is becoming standard gadgetry for the well-equipped geek. Offering superior picture and sound quality, he or she will be able to rent or buy all their favorite titles and experience them in full HD glory.
“LOST” Seasons 1 – 5 on Blu-Ray ($200) – If the geek in your life is salivating at consuming the final season of LOST this year, then you can’t go wrong with the complete Blu-Ray set for seasons 1 – 5. Loaded with features and extras aplenty, he or she will be busy trying to detangle the complex mystery of “the Island.”
Microsoft XBOX Live points ($20 and up) – XBOX Marketplace points are a great option for those geeks who love online gaming with their XBOX 360s. Game downloads, music, and video content are all available in the XBOX Marketplace.
Amazon.com or iTunes Gift Card (any $$ amount) – You’ll find that both Amazon and iTunes have wide-ranging music and video libraries; Amazon has a slight advantage over iTunes, since their music is offered DRM-free. For those geeks without an iPod, opt for Amazon, since iTunes downloads are in a proprietary format for iPods.
