I proudly dedicate this book to the leagues of mainstream geeks who, like me, integrate technology into every facet of their lives. Leo Laporte's 2005 Gadget Guide is the definitive source for your gadget-buying needs this year. I have boiled down the reams and reams of product specs and sliced through the marketing hype to deliver my best-of-breed picks for everything from digital cameras to MP3 players, GPS units to cell phones, and home theater equipment to computer gadgetry. If you're a bona fide gadget connoisseur, then this is the only book worthy of your hard-earned bucks. And if you're buying for the geek you love, then this book is your indispensable guide for buying just the right gadget to make your geek purr. The book is divided into seven easy-to-follow sections, each of which provides general buying advice, important gotchas that you should avoid, and my top picks for each device type. This full-color, fast-reading, buying guide will help you make the most out of your toy money. And it is all about the fun toys, isn't it?
