Gadget Wish Lists To Match Tax Refunds


It’s tax season in the US, and hopefully lots of you have either already got a refund check, or are looking forward to one arriving soon.  For gadget lovers, this may be the only time of the year where you can really splurge and add a new toy or two to your collection.  With that in mind, Steve Laser has a great post up at Mobility Site, titled ‘Tax Time Toys‘ …

According to USAToday.com, the average tax refund in 2005 was $2436. Expect that to grow 8-10% for this year’s refund. In my fantasy world I get to actually spend that money on gadgets. What should I buy?

Steve goes on to list ten high tech items he’d love to buy with that sort of refund amount.  It’s a very good list too, with a good variety of items – from a hot new HTC device through to a *serious* power camera, and maybe one or two items outside the normal gadgets sort of realm.

Check out Steve’s list HERE and see how tempted you may get by some of the items.

I’ve already spent part of my refund on a shiny new MacBook (hurrah), so my biggest wish list item now would be this little beauty:

Apple Time Capsule

The Time Capsule wireless station / external backup drive to use with Time Machine backups of the Mac. 

How about you all?  Got any gadget purchases planned with your refund money?  Share what’s on your wish list …
