10 Most Searched for Gadgets this Christmas on MSN

It was interesting to find out which are 10 most hottest and searched gadgets this Christmas for gifts and stockings. I would have to say that not many surprises as for last 12 months we have been hearing, seeing, listening, touching these products pretty much all around us.

These gadgets brand have done a good job at marketing and touching 4 out of 5 senses. Well they left out taste. I am not sure if I would ever taste a gadget though.

To make this research even more interesting, I have listed next to each gadget how much they would cost in Australian dollars (approximate figures)


10. Nintendo DS - $250
9. iPod Nano - $300
8. iPod Touch - $400
7. xbox 360 - $700
6. Playstation 3 - $900
5. iPod - $500
4. Nokia N96 - $800
3. iPhone - $900
2. Nintendo Wii - $450
1. Wii Fit - $100

Total - $5300!!

Honestly, that wasn't too expensive :) My initial feeling was that it would be close $8000 but I was off by somewhere 35% :)
