5 Must-Have Gadgets for the Technology Lover This Holiday Season (ContributorNetwork)

This holiday season, there is a healthy amount of gadgetry available for the technology enthusiast. Whether the gift is small or large, there is something out there to make anyone who enjoys the latest and greatest happy as gifts are unwrapped. Here are five gadgets that will make great holiday gifts for the special people in your life this holiday season:

Motorola S9 Bluetooth Stereo Headset

Technology is wonderful, and this product is a perfect example of why. The freedom from cords and quality of sound offered by the S9 headset is simply fantastic. For those technology buffs still living in the dark ages of wired headsets, this is a must-have. Prices have varied from several online merchants, but the product can usually be found for less than $100. This makes a great gift for gadget hounds young and old.

Apple iPad 2

The iPad 2 is the granddaddy of all holiday gifts. It won't come cheap as the most basic model retails at $499. However, the iPad 2 is the gift that keeps on giving with its seemingly endless array of available applications and many functions. Those include everything from playing high definition movies to serving as a productivity device for the business-minded professional. An iPad transcends generations and can be used by almost anyone. It is the most intuitive device the world has seen in many years, and has changed the way many people view technology. Anyone who receives one as a gift has no business being disappointed.

Playstation 3

In terms of home consoles, Playstation 3 is in a class by itself. It is a gaming machine, HD movie player, and entertainment center. With exclusive titles such as the Drake's: Uncharted series of games making award-winning history, its primary function of serving as a gaming console is performed well. It doubles as a fully capable Blu-Ray player and delivers in its promise to do almost everything one could ask out of a multimedia device. With its recent price drop for all models, it will be a great, affordable gift for any gamer or Blu-Ray junkie.

Apple TV

Apple products continue to grab the attention of consumers everywhere, and the Apple TV is a product that any Apple fan should have. It interfaces with a high-definition television in order to stream content from an iPhone or iPad. It is also capable of streaming movies and shows that can be purchased directly via an iTunes account. Netflix is also available via Apple TV. For anyone who enjoys the convenience of consolidating devices, this one-stop media hub should do the trick. At $99.00, it is worth the price.

Amazon Kindle Fire

It's not out yet, but the first venture into the tablet computer world from Amazon will be a great opportunity for consumers to get into this market for a great price. At just $199.00, the Kindle Fire will feature a dual-core processor and the ability to run thousands of applications that perform functions such as streaming media. This model will hit stores November 15, and will likely be one of the best selling tech items this holiday season.
