QOW: If you had $1000 what tech would you buy?
If someone gave you $1000 but said that you needed to immediately spend it to buy a new piece of technology, what would you buy? Would it be a new laptop, mobile devise, flat panel TV, software package?
My choice would be a new multi-touch all in one PC that I could use to test new AIR 2.0 applications.




Facebook Application Development
Only $1000?
Hmmmm. A new multi-touch tablet that runs a full OS. (Perhaps the HP one, but I would have to do a full review of all the offerings at the time)
I would buy Nexus one and multi-touch monitor :D
Either a Nexus One or an Internet connected TV. I have a Behold II, and I'm impatient about getting Android 2 and the Flash player on my phone.
I think Internet Connected TV's are going to be a growth area for us as developers, but I'm not sure what they're going for right now.
iPad or a Mac Mini Server.
Interesting. I've had similar ideas, and I just bought a HP TouchSmart 2 notebook! :P
HP Slate (when released) and a television.
The iPad. It's a shame it can't handle flash, while others can, and having a fetish for UI & UX the iPad makes most of my day go by as if I had my whole iMac.
Clearly I can't run Flex Builder, but for everything else, it can solve all my online tasks.
Well Almost... Is it occurring to you guys as well not to find the address of a restaurant on the iPhone because their page is in Flash?
nothing.. seriously there is nothing out there.
I'm holding my money.
Laptop or slate.
Or software, that I would create and sell to myself, so I could spend the money on booze.
(j/k eh :D)
An iPad and a year's subscription to safaribooksonline.com
Probably the HP Slate, or the high end iPad, or if I could sit on the money long enough Adobe CS5. In that order.
i'd go for a 3dtv if it was in the price bracket if not upgrade my iphone as a london locksmith i have to use it as a pdq and my old boy has so quickly outdated.
Without a doubt, I would get the new Ipad. Of course, if I already didn't own a nice hdtv then I would get that instead but since I already own one, I'll go with the Ipad.

If I had $1000, I'd probably get me a multi-touch tablet as well.
And I think if I had a million dollars I'd do two chicks at the same time, cause chicks dig a dude with money.
I'd buy a new and faster Laptop.
One of those kick ass 30" monitors from Apple.
$1000? I will buy an iPad and a Windows phone 7 as these both have all the features and functionalities that i want to have in my pc and cell phone.So m i getting $1000?:)
I would get an ipad if $1000 is enough for it, be good to get discounts and save a bit of money on it if there was a good deal online, then I could get a lottery ticket too
