Birthday parties are for kids, fancy cakes are for girls...

...and gadgetry, like any grown-up men, is the getting-old gift-wish for a 35er like me (in random order of importance):

• Apple's new 16GB iPod Touch to replace my bricked 4thgen iPod 60GB
  
• Apple's black Macbook to topple the too-hot-for-the-lap MSI laptop
  
• Sony Ericsson's P1i smartphone to defame my Nokia N73 ME
  
• Sony's Playstation 3 or Microsoft's Xbox 360 (with HD Drive) to revive the excitement of the PS2 gamer in me (and the kids)
  
• Nikon's D80 DSLR camera for beginners to outperform my Casio Exilim S500 that has pictured better days
  

Sounds like too-expensive-a-replacement (a costly addiction) already, I admit, but when your a day older, you're allowed to crave.
