Holiday Tech Gift Guide

By TIMES STAFF
Published November 27, 2006

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We know. You want an iPod this year. A portable music player is the tech gift of choice this holiday season, says the Consumer Electronics Association. Hey, we have to ask for something, since we know we're not getting a PlayStation 3, right? Well, don't get too excited. That same group says the tech gift we plan to wrap most this year is a digital camera. But there's good news, music fans. Shoppers plan to spend $195 a household on electronics this holiday season, so if Mom and Dad have a little left over after buying that Canon PowerShot, maybe they'll give you an iTunes gift card. But if you're looking for something a little different to suggest to Santa, take a gander through this section and find a gadget, game or program that your Someone Special will really want.
