Tech Mom Gadgets

2/26 Update: I like to keep you all updated on products that I recommend. Unfortunately, I did not have the best experience with the TwitterPeek that I bought, so I cannot recommend purchasing it. It was fine for me to send out tweets, but I rarely received my updated twitter stream – which kind of defeated the reason for my purchase. (I still hear great things about the Peek Pronto, so that might be a better purchase…)

Recently, BabyCenter revealed their “2010 Mom Gadget Wish List” Gadget Wish List. I like gadgets in moderation, so it was interesting to see which ones made the list:

Since we are a Panasonic LiHD family, I have numbers 1-4 , 7 and 10. The laptop and digital camera are my favorites. We also have 8 – 9. We bought the portable DVD player after the one a friend gifted to us “died”. They are a wonderful way to keep kids distracted during long trips. I also found it helpful when I needed to do movie reviews that the rest of the family did not want to see. I don’t have (or desire) #5 – 6. I’ll get an iPhone when Verizon starts servicing them…and not a day before.

I bought the one thing that was on my gadget wish list today….the TwitterPeek. I need to tweet at certain work assignments. Since I don’t have the desire to get Internet access on my phone (at least until Verizon starts servicing the iPhone) and I don’t want to lug my laptop everywhere, this was my compromise (at $99, it’s one-third the price of my former gadget wish list item – a netbook). I didn’t get the lifetime service, because I need to see if I like it and it works well. Also, who knows when Verizon might start servicing iPhones…

Enough about me. How about you. Do you have anything on your gadget wish list? If so, what is it? (Who knows…it might end up being a future Mom in the City giveaway…)
