What Gadgets Are Going to Hit It Big in 2013?

Technology is increasing at a rapid pace, so when it comes to buying presents for the technology lover in your life, you need to know what all the most recent products are on the market. Here are some ideas to help you shop for the right gift:

HD Media Router

Wireless internet connections are becoming much more common. To enable the wireless throughout the house, a router is needed to be hooked up to broadcast it. There are developments in this area of technology that project the signal stronger as well as increase the speed at which the internet runs. The other helpful thing about these are that they can increase the strength to all the devices in your home using the same router.

Touchscreen Ultrabook

One of the biggest improvements in the laptop arena is the mainstreaming of the touch screen. These computers are getting thinner, lighter, and faster at processing. The developments that software companies have made to their programs in order to accommodate the touch screen have been obvious as the most recent editions are skewed directly to them.

Wearable Video Cam LX2

The first of its kind, this camera is discreet and able to be worn in a way that it records everything that you are seeing, just as you see it. You can set it up any way you prefer, but this direction is the way it is mostly intended to be used. This retails for less than $150, so it is something that can be realistically gifted without breaking the budget, as electronic gifts may sometimes do.

Smart TVs

While many televisions are still getting bigger and focusing on 3D visuals, not all are going tin that direction. The main push has been toward the area of smart TVs over the 3D models. This is something that consumers have shown more of an interest in, since they can connect to their favorite apps directly from the screen. These types of sets have built in wireless internet capabilities that have easy access to services such as Netflix and Vudu. Many can also be synced with a smaller device (like a tablet).

And more . . .

There are many little devices and gizmos that were premiered at the recent electronic show in Hong Kong. These all were in a wide range from Roku sticks to devices that will turn smartphones into fitness and health monitors for anybody to use. There are also gadgets that can turn smartphones and tablets into serious gaming devices. Just because these things are generally little doesn’t mean they are any less impressive—in fact, the smaller the device is, often the more sought-after it is.
