Amazon Kindle e-book reader
Amazon's e-book reader sold out a few hours after its US launch and counts cult author Neil Gaiman among its fans (Gaiman was given a Kindle to test prior to launch).
The angular device has a retro air and looks a bit like an oversized calculator. It uses an EVDO wireless network for downloading blogs, e-books, newspapers and RSS feeds - and offers access to online encyclopedia Wikipedia. There is one catch however: it's not yet available in the UK... Natch.

Well, they didn't really sell it to you. E.g. how about if you could make free calls at home with a femtocell?

What about the utterly droolworthy samsung innov8. That is the xmas gift that I want above all others if its prelaunch publicity is at all accurate.
