Gadget Watch: Hottest gadgets of the day (in my view of iDad a.k.a. Appleboy)

It appears that many folks that belong into the early adopter phase category start to buy more gear from someone else but Apple. Not the Apple nerds, not the Droidlers but regular people usually with some form of gadgetaddiction's disease.

For some time now Apple has not introduced something and not leaked good enough information to keep them from spending on categories that used to be a little farther out of their main stay.

Traditional January and March events passed up, April's almost lost, June's now the hope.

The List:

1) First or Second android device, especially the Nexus 7




2) Raspberry Pi, Model B, since AirPlay is possible








3rd is most probably the e-ink watch, but it is still unclear if it belongs 3rd place because spending money on other accessories also increased. But honest enough I have to say that Nokia Lumia, Microsoft Surface and even Samsung Ativ have had only a short time window and were not really infecting more than the usual crowd.

People buy more spontaneous gadgets that are around $30 to $99 than before.

Apple has not introduced anything for a very long time.

We still have not the avant garde wireless top device were waiting for. The white Apple not TV box some refer to is for most just an Apple TV without TV but wireless access point, that they were happy to purchase and get rid of some of the old Expresses lying around and producing a lot of heat.

Long past are times that we used to ridicule the mice and not ending are the spontaneous zoomings of pages which is annoying the hell out of all of us with the not so magiK mouse.

The Air with touch, we love touch but Apple refuses to give us this and has not introduced the answer to all of the people that don't want to buy accessories from Logitech, Zagg, Belkin or even other companies. Which all try to help you convert the iPad into the Air with touch, including the magnetically detachable keyboard and Magic Stand they should have provided us with. This is overdue. Many people still need a mouse, some crave to use actually a pen and replace the notes and drawings that they still do. (Albeit some only do it out of sight of potential onlookers. Otherwise they loose the digital edge aura. Coolness factor loss.)

There were so many more hard- and software possibilities to list which people would spend their money on to be experiencing the future through their own hands.
