There are five technology items that are on the top of my list when I sit on Santa’s lap at the mall this week. I thought I’d share my list with you, explain why each one is on my list and ask ya’all to share your list of tech gifts you are looking for this year. The list is in no particular order.

Gift #1 - The iPhone

I’d like an iPhone because it would allow me to stay connected when I am out of the house or in transit (which is a lot of the time lately). I could keep in contact with CN, Twitter, and news as well. And how can I walk around NYC claiming to be a leading tech blogger with only an old beatup motorola cell with no data whatsoever?

Cost - $399 - Apple or AT&T Stores

Gift #2 - Sanyo Xacti HD700

I want to move into video more than I want a date with Rachel Stevens. (ok, just kidding) This type of video camera would allow me to whip it out whenever needed and get real, live footage of conferences, events, interviews and I could even bring out my whiteboard for demonstrations (my whiteboard is bigger than Scoble’s).

Cost - $499 - Amazon

Gift #3 - Nintendo Wii

I totally rock at the bowling and tennis - in fact, when I was at the WingSix offices last year (they host CN), I schooled all of them. I’d love to play some Mario Brothers as well!

Cost - $who knows - Amazon

Gift #4 - Apple Macbook Pro

My PC is about two-and-a-half years old, laptop about three years old. PC is about to die and I was thinking of combining the laptop and the desktop together. This would certainly help with traveling - no more forgetting things at home. I’d go with the 15" for easier travel. And if I get a Macbook Pro, I’d be cool and get to sit at the cool blogger tables at conferences. Right now I’m forced to the Dell table, it’s a boring crowd.

Cost - $1959 - Amazon

Gift #5 - Samsung LCD TV

I’ve got the same TV since first year in college - granted it was top of the line back then and still runs great - got a huge deal because I was salesman of the month at The Wiz. It’d be nice to get a LCD and take advantage of the free HDTV that time warner provides. I could also push Internet video to it so I could review video shows and twitter messages from the couch.

Cost $1150 - Amazon

Please share your gift wishes as well!
