The shopping season is just around the corner. All of us know that an obligatory gift-giving occasion is on its way. The toy store, of course, is the usual place to search for gifts for such times, but more and more children (and children-at-heart) specifically want new electronic gadgets.

No longer the exclusive realm of geeks and nerds, the world of electronic gadgets is enjoyed by people of different ages, social backgrounds and academic-aptitude. Portable video games are practically a requirement for any boy under the age of 16. Sony Portable Playstation units are still selling like hotcakes in different stores. Some, however, still prefer the classic Nintendo Gameboy. There are also homebodies who prefer to play video games on bulkier units like Sony's Playstation or a Microsoft Xbox. Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft are but a few of the big names that are taking advantage of this welcome tide of technological gadgets. Video games are a thriving business for many companies. These usually boast of eye-popping graphics which expanded to more interactive systems and dimensions as years passed.

Also ascending the ladder of must-haves are mobile phone units and portable music players. With their compact design and wide array of colors, these units actually look like cute toys. Despite their small size, each unit still presents remarkable capabilities and engineering achievements. Nokia, one of the leading names in mobile communications, grew from its relatively humble beginnings in Finland in the late 19th century, to a giant in the finance world because of people's hunger for cellular phones.
The rise in popularity of portable music (and music video) players is even faster compared to mobile phones.

More popularly known as MP3 players, the portable media player bandwagon took to the road in 2001, with Apple's launch of its iPod. These eye-appealing units take advantage of digital music or MP3 files all over the internet. People like to think of them as portable cassette players similar to that of Sony's Walkman, only they're more compact and are more expensive.
