What with the Christmas present threads and the HD TV thread, I was wondering what tech. people have in ther homes?

What do you surf t'interweb on? Do you have a top of the range smartphone (Daren't mention the fruity one, someone is bound to get upset!) I-pod or other MP3 player? HD TV or slightly green looking CRTV TV from the 1980's?

I though this thread could run alongside the others, if people want a review of stuff, ask on here, or check in case someone has already slated or rated it!

I'm an early adopter of tech, so have loads of bits'n'bobs knocking around. Occasionally I wait, luckily I went with Blueray on a PS3 over HD DVD which now looks stunning on our new Panasonic 42" plasma with Sky HD. I really wanted an I-phone, but chose an HTC Hero instead which runs Google Android. That is a really cool phone. I bought Mrs BP an I-pod Touch which I play with all the time, its ace as an internet tablet and games console. I often surf the net on my Archos 5 Media Tablet (250GB version) which also now has about 50 of my DVD's ripped to it for those long nights on the motorway... I know nothing about computers, so when I need a new laptop, hopefully, someone on here will be able to help! We have a full home cinema in a purpose built extension which is hardly ever used. However, such is my addiction to tech, I am researching which HD projector to get in there next!

So come on, what'cha got?

Oooh, I got the Hero, had HTC phones for years now and so far this one is measuring up to be the best by far

Apart from the fact it randomly phones people...??

I like gadgets but don't have anything particularly special just now. I refused to pay the money for an iPod touch as the memory on them is rubbish for much more money than a Classic. I recently bought a 120Gb Classic for the same prices as a 16Gb touch...what's that about?? 16Gb is no where near enough memory!

All sorts, bit of a gadget tart.

Samsung 37" HD TV, Sky HD, PS3, Media Centre PC running TVersity (900 movies), McBook Pro 13", iPhone 3G 16GB, Bose 321 Sound (rubbish, want rid of it) and that's about it.

My next big purchase will be a Nikon D90! Roll on bonus time!
