What techy gift did you get over the 2012 holidays?

[Jeff Kershner]

Many of us dealerrefreshers are hard-core technology gadget freaks. So speak up, what cool gadget was under your Christmas tree this year?


I'll get us started...

Nike Store. Nike FuelBand - this gadget is quite awesome. Track your workouts and daily activity. Also makes for a cool watch and conversation piece.



http://www.jawbone.com/speakers - These little speakers rock!



http://www.jawbone.com/up - I'm currently wearing both the UP bracelet and Fuel bracelet. Though the UP is quite different as it's more of a lifestyle gadget as it tracks not only your daily activity but also your sleep patterns and what food consumption.



TASSIMO Country Selector - the barcode scanner that makes the perfect cup of coffee is what alloes that to make the gadget list.

Re: What favorite techy gift over the 2012 holidays?

So, I hadn't heard of the Country Selector...under a rock I guess...but I completely need that now. For as many gadgets as we all have, and I want and have plenty, I'm not afraid to admit that I received an actual and factual, hold in my hands, book. That's right.

hold in my hands, book.....?

I'm a wicked techno-geek so most things typically have a battery and some kind of screen. This year it was the:

Garmin S3
Philips Hue
and a "gift" to my fiance, the Nest. But that was part selfish because I wanted to check it out and see how it worked compared to the Insteon/Venstar.

We had a "no technology" Christmas since there is enough of it year around! But I did get these two fun things!

The "Pull My Finger Pen" - was in my stocking - funny enough our dogs gave our 6 year old the same thing, so now we have a matching pair!

And I got this "Bullshit Alert" Button to go next to the Dealers United "Get Out of My Office" button!

I didn't get any, but gave a few. My two favorites were these:

I got Sphero for my sister - way fun. Actually more fun than I thought it would be. She's running the dog ragged with it.

I got Nest for my parents and am now wanting to get one for myself. Home automation is getting to be easy and amazing.

I got one of those cool Nike GPS running watches. I ran 5 miles on the treadmill with it, and it only showed me going 3 feet...
