I was invited to an exclusive media event in New York to check out some of our hottest gear coming out in time for the Holidays… some of my favorite stuff I saw:

Rock Band 2 for Xbox 360
Lips for Xbox 360
A bunch of new Windows Mobile phones
Some very cool Windows PCs by HP, Dell, and Asus
The new Zunes and graphics

So what’s on your wish list this holiday??

PS: this all went down in October but made more sense to show it to you closer to the "season" Wink

PS3 with remote for bluray, probably too expensive.

A 1920*1200 monitor would be sweet as well, but this HP w2207 is pretty cool. Something higher DPI for reading on the computer would be nice though, unfortunately monitors are also very expensive.

Maybe a game of some sort, I just dunno which one.

I do not have much wants, I try to think of something that would improve my life greatly. The only thing on my list is a high DPI Monitor that has super crisp text. I had no't realized how much reading I have to do online for school. Bill Hill from Microsoft is certainly making that work better, but Vista fails to have cleartype tweaking, or my HP w2207 might look slightly better.

I have a sweet Desktop PC, a pretty decent laptop now that Dell fixed it 8 times, a Zune, a 360, I dunno what else I could possibly want, other than that high DPI monitor.

Well maybe if you say high DPI monitor 3 times in your comment, you'll get one Tongue Out

Yeah, I think I achieved that. C9 videos have been saying since 2006 that high DPI monitors are coming, not sure what is taking so long for them to become standard. Optometrists are going to have great business. I imagine universities everywhere have material online that students have to read. I hate printing out everything...certainly a high DPI monitor would make hours staring at a screen a bit better, but not more enjoyable.

Anyways ,something pretty sweet that just came out today was the HTC Fuze windows mobile phone. (Which is the HTC Pro from the video I think)

Pretty darn expensive without contract, but when mine is up, I think it is worth looking into. Satellite radio, WIFI, Web Browser, discrete keyboard, none of that touch your screen to type stuff. It is a touch phone though. (Not all covered in the video)

I do not know how important a super cool mobile phone is until Mesh is complete though. Live Mesh + desktop PC and Live Calendar will hopefully organize my life better. Thus I want a high DPI monitor. I think I said it three times again.
