Hey Techies,

I waited until the wee hours of Wednesday to bring you the top picks of the Black Friday pile that I think are worth checking out or standing out in the cold to buy.

Alright, let’s get down to business! First things first: TV’s

If you haven’t had a chance to listen to my interview on Jason’s radio show, Press Play Radio, you should drop everything and check it out here. As I predicted, TV’s will be this season’s hottest ticket item. This year, Retailers are putting their best foot forward with doorbuster deals like this one:

Best Buy is breaking all the rules with a doorbuster deal that has never been seen. A 42” HDTV for only 199! Now, it is only available in-store, but if you can brave the elements, I say GO FOR IT!

Game Console

Now I have to admit, I only have an Wii  *cues sad violin*  BUT, my next gaming console will be an XBOX and if I didn’t already have my eyes on a new DSLR…I would jump for this deal that’s offered.

This deal speaks for itself! It can’t get any better than this

Laptops

As an Apple Fan Girl, I know that the machines are sometimes outside of a person’s budget and after working for the company on a few Black Friday’s, I would caution you to STAY OF OUT THE STORE on this day. It’s nothing but a headache. There are usually really great deals online that day and the following Monday. Invest then.

Now that my rant is over, check out this system when shopping till you drop on Black Friday:

Target is offering a great deal on a Acer tablet for 157! Lightweight and easy to carry with you wherever you go. Travel light and stay connected with this sweet deal.

Tablet e-readers

Last but certainly not least, this season’s other hot ticket item is the Tablet. I recently purchased this deal for my mother who is not as tech savvy as I am, so I’m confident she can mange on her own without calling me every 5 seconds.

The new Nook Tablet. It’s sleek with the latest version of Android and comes with a new case to keep it protected. Check it out at QVC if you are in the market for a sleek new tablet.

What are your most important buy this season? Do you plan on standing outside for the latest and greatest?

I for one, am looking forward to Cyber Monday!

Tech Shortie: PlugBug

As we countdown to Black Friday (and Cyber Monday), I wanted to start off the week with a tech find that I think that you will love. It’s called the Plug Bug.

For people like me who have an iPad and a Mac laptop that seem to drain like the Nile, PlugBug is a great addition to your arsenal created by twelvesouth.

Even Guy Kawasaki thinks it’s cool! Check him out here.
