What gadget should i get next!?

Hi - like most people who use this board i like gadgets and techy type stuff and limit myself to a new one every year . .problem is i'm not sure what to get. . .i;ve got an iphone 3gs, DSi, Archos PMP and PSP and i am really struggling to think what to get next . . .

The new iphone is an option but from the specs it doesnt really give me anything else new. . .considering getting a HTC Desire - not because my iphone is past its sell by date but it looks shiney and is something different. . .iPad doenst really interest me. .

So aside from the iPad - what piece of tech / gadget are you considering to purchase next?!

I' d suggest that if you dont know then you dont need one

If only I could apply that to myself

Hows about a sat nav

@Reefman - my wife would agree with your philosophy - 'if you dont know you dont need one' .. . .unfortunately i am a self confessed gadget nut . .think i will hang fire to see what Mr Jobs has to say about the new iphone at 18:00 today . . .in my mind i am already putting together an ebay description for my 3GS and other iphone accessories so i think the decision is just about made . . .

Hmmmm so much for discounting the iPad . . .i am in 2 minds as to what to get . . .keep the jail broken 3GS and pick up an ipad or sell 3GS and get the new iphone . . . .

@JamesParkin - not really into photography and my 7.0 megapixel kodak easyshare is good enough for me, blu-ray player - got one, 3D TV - jury still out on that one . .as for the vibeholic - google tells me its a portable vibration speaker .. not sure i want one of those . ..

When the iPad was first announced i was definetely interested in gettting one, changed my mind the next day and pretty much every day since then . ..@ 14:45 today i wanted one - it's now 16:12 and i dont want one . . .later tonight it will be a different matter no doubt . . i like shiney gadgets and the iPad fits the bill . .if i can find one online i may reserve it . .whether or not i pick it up is another matter . . .

No point getting a satnav if you've got a 3GS as it has in-built GPS and compass along with Satnav software available for it (some of it very cheap like the N-Drive UK & Ireland app which is only £5 and gets very good reviews).

Rather than buy something when you are unsure what to get, wait until you see something you really like and get that even if it costs more, as you'll have saved up more money for it by then.

Buy one. To not do so is only delaying the inevitable.

Whenever I can't decide whether or not to buy something, I always end up taking the plunge a few days down the line.

You sound like a dream apple customer, tell me what to spend my money on next There are also book readers, but they are quite boring, you can just read books with it. I used to read a lot of books, then it stopped, because of work and other things, now with the book reader I am rediscovering my old passion.
