I have a lot of them.
I'm always playing with something. Wait until you see my LED home cinema projector.
That's from LG and it's great.
A tiny LED projector that slips in your pocket but slaps a large, clear picture on the wall.
I tend to use headphones as I like the volume at a dangerous level.

I wish i would have been in Indonesia..........

Come to Shanghai , you will get all the stuff.

Hahahaha.........
But i will come in your expenses..........

I'm not a person who has much patience for electronic thingamybobs.
That said, I had heard about the eBook "Kindle" before it was made available worldwide.
That is some years ago now.
When I heard that it would be available I ordered one.
I have still got the original one I ordered and it is often used.
Among other things what I like about it is that I can copy long texts from the Internet, send it to Amazon and within a minute or so it arrives on my kindle to read wherever I want.

Yes have lots of the gadgets.  Recently got my first smart phone. I hate the fact that the phone is so much smarter than me.
I also read a lot, sometimes 2-3 books a week.  I am not sure how I did it before I purchased my NOOK nearly three years ago.  So far there are 170+ books on it that I have read.  Great handy gadget to have.

my Nikon D90 was sent for repair and have no money to collect it back.   So its like gone forever. Now am using a small fuji cam and its enough for me for the time being as I can not make any traveling in near future. Someday I will buy a good cam that is not heavy too much
I too have some craziness for electronics but mostly girl-stuff. One-day I wanted to buy a fake money detector and bought it and it is somewhere at home:D

Most welcome !

Thanks

Last year it was the year of purchasing of my electronic toys.

I have several toys that I like to play with, although they are most of household appliances.

The first one is a washing machine,
When we look for one we saw two who can measured with our standards. One was a dryer and washer in one and the other has a weight sensor inside so he can calculated how much powder you must use according to the weight of the laundry. But which we have to choose? The two in one seems an ideal combination but the dryer I will use only in the winter season when I am not able to hang the laundry outside , and that will be  less then 6 weeks.
The other is handy so I don't have to waste much detergent (that is the Dutch in me  ) and I was more attractive to the design.
Oh dear, what a luxury problem. We decide to use a coin and to flip it over.
The weight sensor won...
And I was more then happy when I found out that the machine "talks" several languages including my own old Dutch!

The second is a Kenwood Titanium Major kitchen aid.
I wanted this for many years and I was first opted for a Kitchen aid but hubby wanted a big bowl.
So we came out by the Kenwood. We bought it last November because there was a offer we cant refuse.
My father was visiting us at that time and he paid of third of it.
I am so happy with it because I am able no to make huge amount of dough for bread, pizza and much more.

The last one is the smartphone Galaxy I get from my hubby.
It took me more then one week to find out how it works and to adept it (yes Bob, I know what you mean) but then...
I am hooked. Oh my, this gadget is almost all the time in my hands or very close to me and its amazing what you can do with it.

Kitchen toys for women and others for men!!   hmm!!

I said for me, not for all women.
Besides you have a washing machine and washing machine 

Great description Primadonna. 

As a by-the-way regarding your comment, "And I was more then happy when I found out that the machine "talks" several languages including my own old Dutch!".
There are times when I wished I couldn't hear my old Dutch.

No you are correct!! majority of Asian, Middle Eastern women- I mean, wives play the same roll in the society.
Some play this happy some not. Some husbands may come at a washing machine, or cooker at a request.
otherwise washing-machine, cooker, oven these are just electrical toys of the house-wife.
Before getting married many guys asks girls.. "will you cook tasty for me??" So what about them?? Just to eat??
((May be this is  but thanks to Fred Madonna and I could exchange few ideas!!))

In London English dialect "my old Dutch" means my wife.
(I think Dutch is short for Duchess.)

For my wife's first birthday in the Dominican Republic I bought her a new Dominican washing machine (old fashion two tub system).  Eight years later still have not heard the last of it

For a moment I thought you speak/understand Dutch too.
Thanks for making this clear.

A long ago story;
I was tired of washing so I asked him whether I would buy a new husband, few days later I got a new washing-machine.

Anyway, whilst I'm deciding what to start with, do you have any interesting toys?
I want photos and feelings as well as facts.

Hi Fred, you got anything new??

I have an amazing electronic device!
It has a banana-shaped thing on top that can talk and listen, and a round disk with digits that can rotate. If I rotate to a certain (hard to remember) series of digits, the banana talks like my mother. Another series makes it talk like my wife, and other people are possible as well if you remember the digits - which I never do, so it's rarely used. Actually, after a while, the novelty wears off and it's not so special any more.
It looks like this:

So where is the banana?

Make that a talking banana. 

My latest acquisition is a new coffee making machine.
The old Italian one must have been about 8 yrs. old and actually was still working but some of the seals were leaking a bit too much. It always looked like a cat had peed next to it. 
The new one is ok I suppose but has too many flashing lights and buttons that have to be pressed at the proper time.
That's ok when I'm fully awake but one of the reasons I've got a coffee machine is to wake me up mornings.
Now I must be fully awake before I use the thing - Gopferdammi nomol !!

No no, it's not an alarm type automatic. I like things to be simple.
It's just that with the old one I could shuffle into the kitchen (before the wife was up), switch it on, grab a cup, wait a minute or so to warm up and with one eye only half open press one button and away it went.

It's the detachable, slightly bent thing on top, which is connected to the main unit by a wire.
Well, it's black and has two round,flat disks attached at the ends, but I call it banana because that's the nearest equivalent shape I could think of.

I have heard of such a device - it wakes you up and makes coffee and breakfast automatically! It's called good wife ...
