I hate to do this but we’re squarely in pre-holiday season and, for better or worse, you’re going to start shopping soon. Because we’re nice guys, we’re going to review 300 items from 2008 and report back on which gadgets, gear, and geegaws are worth your time and attention this year.
To that end, we will start reviewing items - toys, laptops, speakers, home AV, EVERYTHING - this week and categorizing them according to type and ranking them in separate database. We’ll also be bringing in some of the gems we reviewed during 2008 to ensure we bring some of our favorites back to the top. Please bear with us and we hope that this little service will be helpful on Black Friday when you’re trying to figure out which Wall-E remote control toy to buy for my Uncle Chester.
What do we need from you? Recommendations. What would you like to see? What gadgets have you loved this year? Which gadgets flopped? Best of all, we may need some citizen reviewers in the next few months. Stay tuned.

@Ben: I like the Garmin Nuvi 200 @ $155. I’ve bought several for myself and family members and found it to be a solid GPS at a reasonable price.

I’d like to see headphones reviewed and what not. Preferably in-ear headphones.
Best of all, I’m sure CG will have just oodles of awesome gadgets at the end of this thang… do I smell and awesome giveaway week again?

To be honest one of the things I’d like see reviewed is the Kitt GPS or the logitech MX air. Do you guys have a price bracket? I haven’t seen any good video reviews for the dell XPS 420. I really want that computer, anyways if I can think of anything else I’ll let you guys know.
