    Gadgets to drool over

    I want a 3D laser scanner for Christmas

    Any other ideas for expensive gadgets?

    Cars or bikes if you must, but preferably some big boy's toy that could appear on a millionaire's Gadget Show and you might rarely even use.

    Actually a 2D red laser scanner memory pen would make a more practical and quite affordable present.

    One of those 3d printer thingies would be quite useful.

      I would like a USB microwave oven that I can run up from my laptop whilst out on the road.

      Client co has none on site so one of these would be perfect as I could warm a pasty or bowl of soup at my desk.

            EOS Metall-Laser-Sinter-Systeme (Kopie 1)

            I am actually getting one of these (albeit for my birthday next year)....

            While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

              There was a news feature this week on where they showed some pretty cool mini surveillance helicopters. I want one of those, but I can't find the news link. Anyone are it?

                I want one! I want one!

                Next time I'm stuck in a five mile jam on the motorway, I'd like to send one ahead to see what the hell is going on

                  I saw an excellent one this weekend, I think it was a Quadrocopter, with HD video camera, cost €799 but can't find any information about it

                    I saw some remote control helicopters last Christmas at about the 50 Swiss Franc mark. I wonder if you could fit a miniature camera to one of those.
