Tech Question: What is your next technology purchase?

Image
By

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.

Elsewhere Online: AT&T's Spam Filter Gets A Bit Too Aggressive

By
This story from TechDirt lays out yet another reason I recommend that folks DON'T use the email provided to them by their ISP. My typical recommendation right now is to get a Gmail account instead. It also points out why I want to manage all my SPAM on my end, without pre-filtering from an ISP. I will gladly manage my spam if it helps to insure that I see as many of my "real" messages as possible. Again, Gmail's tools work pretty good in this regard. Having an alternative email account also insures you will keep the same email, even if you decide to leave your current ISP. Witness all the folks holding onto AOL accounts just to keep their AOL email address. Thank goodness at least that is free now. AT&T's Spam Filter Gets A Bit Too Aggressive You can certainly understand why ISPs offer spam filters. It's a service for users who don't want to be totally bombarded with spam. But what I've never understood is that these ISPs rarely give the user a

On my iPhone…IFTTT (If This Then That) for iOS

By
IFTTT (If This Then That) for iOS IFTTT (If This Then That) for iOS My best description of IFTTT, both their main web site, and this new iOS app is "a scripting language for the We." It allows you to set up "recipes" that watch one particular service, like Feedly, Evernote, Gmail and more, and then take action on another service whenever a particular action occurs. I use this to automatically save my shared items from Feedly and elsewhere into an Evernote Notebook and also use it to post automatically post information on a variety of services. The iOS app adds to this functionality by allowing you to take various actions on your phone and triggering IFTTT actions whenever they occur. In the case of the iPhone, initiating actions can include adding new contacts to your iPhone, taking a new picture and more.  For more complete information on how IFFTT works, visit ifttt.com    From the iTunes App Store...
