Tech Question: What is your next technology purchase?

You have seen my 2012 Gift Guide suggestions over the last week. Now I am going to ask what YOUR SUGGESTIONS might be?

What is your next technology purchase? What device, game, software, or hardware has you itching to buy? What technology would help you be more productive -- or just give you a chance to have a great time?

For me, I am looking at the new iPhone 5 as my next purchase. I am ready to upgrade from my iPhone 4 and pass it along to my wife, who has yet to own a smartphone. I think it is time she entered the modern world and I get the latest, greatest phone in the bargain. You can't really beat that. (LAUGH) I also want to buy a new LCD TV with at least a 46" screen. We are currently using a hand-me-down TV that was graciously offered to us, but it is projection HD monitor with fairly limited inputs and capabilities -- it doesn't' even have an HDMI port. So, that is also near the top of my list.

So, tell me, and the other TechIQ readers, what is next on your technology to-buy list? Share your thoughts, and comments below and let's see what neat ideas turn up. It might just change my own list.

For me it will be the Nexus 10.

I moved from iPhone 4S to Galaxy SIII 3 months ago and it was the best decision I ever made. Android 4.1+ and the play store has finally made the switch from Apple easy. I can do everything that I did on Apple and more with Android devices and most importantly I get to keep more of my hard earned money as I move forward.

Shared calendars are one part of an organized family

by Douglas E. Welch , techiq@welchwrite.com 206-338-5832 Reader/Listener Line As a parent with a school-age child, I often hear other parents bemoaning their disorganized existence. Along with the busy schedules of two working parents you might have art classes, karate classes, Little League, soccer and more. Add in more than one kid and organizing your life can quickly become a nightmare. This is exactly why one of my most important organizing devices is a shared calendar that reflects all the activities and events for everyone in the household...and I do mean everything. If someone -- is required to be somewhere -- at sometime, it goes into the calendar. If we are given a calendar that reflects all the events for a particular activity (say, Little League), all these events immediately go into the calendar, along with notations on whether we are providing the team snack, working in the snack bar, etc. Even events that occur anytime during the day, like family birthdays, and other rem
