Christmas is nearing and most of us gadget geeks are likely to be eyeing a new gadget to gift ourselves (or someone near our hearts). But this year end is also a time to look back at what the current year has given us–in terms of gadgets.

This year, I was able to buy a laptop, two netbooks, a Nokia E series phone, a printer/scanner/copier, a pre-owned Mac Mini, an LCD screen, two Canon EF lenses, a Canon speedlite, and a host of other smaller gadgets. Non-computer acquisitions include a front-load washer that has made our lives 100% easier in terms of household chores and an air conditioning unit for my home office (at last!). And lucky me–Sony Ericsson gave me a free Xperia X1 for review just recently. I hope I didn’t miss anything.

What about you? How was 2008 for you? Was it a gadget rich year? What was your favorite gadget of 2008? What was the most interesting gadget acquisition you had for this year?

Tell me, and get the chance to win a prize!

Leave a comment. Include pictures to make it more interesting. I’ll select one comment-poster at random and I’ll send five packs of Energizer Advanced Lithium batteries (4 cells per pack). That’s a lot of juice for your digicam, Wii controller, speedlite, or just about anything that needs AA battery juice. Contest will end 11:59 p.m. December 21st (GMT). Be sure you input your email address on the comment form, so I can get in touch with you.
