Christmas 2.0-ho-ho Scads of gadgets for gift-givers
On the way home, you catch some satellite radio, then jog with your iPod on your arm. Before hitting the sack, you relax a little by poring over photos taken with your digital camera, reminiscing over camcordered vacation videos or laughing a little watching those wacky YouTube clips or a little network programming recorded on the ol' TiVo.
Meanwhile, your digital watch/calendar is telling you Christmas is only 11 days away.
So, really, is there any wonder why you're considering tech toys as Christmas gifts for your friends and family?
Well, if they have all those now-standard items, some other gizmo goodies are out there, waiting for you to snatch them up for the holidays.
International travelers fumbling for the correct phrase could benefit from the Nyrius LT12 global talking translator ($49.99, www.nyrius.com).

Outdoorsy types want more from their watch than just the time. That's where Tech4o (www.tech4o.com) can help. The company has three watches it is peddling as perfect for walkers, runners, climbers and swimmers.
