As long as we're talking Bluetooth, tell Santa that you need a Bluetooth headset, like the one in Figure J, for your new Bluetooth wireless phone. Or perhaps some Bluetooth headphones to listen to MP3 music on your PDA, recorded on some of your new expanded memory cards.

While we're Bluetoothing, why not a BT headset too? Roll over picture for a larger image.

Did someone say phone? Be sure to hold out for a nice Pocket PC phone with some real computing power, not one of those toy phones everyone else has. Ask for an HP h6300 SuperPhone, shown in Figure K.

At $600, it's a bit on the pricey side, but it's definitely worth it, considering everything you get for your money.

If you're in the market for a new PDA, don't settle for anything less than a Pocket PC that runs on a Windows operating system. I recommend one of the new Dell Axim X50 series, in Figure L.

The Dell Axim x50 Pocket PC line offers many configuration choices. Roll over picture for a larger image.

Depending on the features, they cost from $250-$500. The Axim X50v at 624 MHz, has 128 MB of ROM, and 64 MB of RAM with an SDIO, and a CF expansion slot. It comes with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and can function as a phone using VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol).

You know, with all this new paraphernalia, maybe a nice leather or canvas bag to put it all in would be a good gift idea. Check out the one in Figure M.

A bag for all your gadgets and gear would come in handy. Roll over picture for a larger image.

Both eBags and RoadWired offer a full selection of bags and cases. And anyone would appreciate a leather or aluminum suit from Proporta to protect their pocket companion. An extra stylus or two from StylusCentral can come in handy as well.

A certificate for game downloads, e-books, audio books, like Figure M, and movies make great stocking stuffers.

Books broaden your horizons, and enrich the soul, whether audio, digital, or print. Roll over picture for a larger image.

Why not get some healthy PDA software while you're at it for weight loss, monitoring diabetes, and workouts? A good place to start would be Handango.

This one should be easy. I hear that Santa's sleigh is equipped with GPS for the first time this year. Why shouldn't you have one too? I'll never understand why people would pay $2500 for a built-in GPS system in a new car when you can get a more sophisticated GPS for your PDA, like you see in Figure O, for around $150, including a Bluetooth receiver.

With GPS maps at your disposal, you'll never get lost again. Roll over picture for a larger image.

The built-in system can only offer GPS. It just sits there and depreciates, while you can do so much more with a PDA. You can take it with you and use it in other cars, even rental cars, or take it hiking, biking, fishing, hunting, or camping. Besides, a GPS system will make a real man out of you, whether you like it or not, because you'll never have to ask for directions again.

Depending on whether you've been naughty or nice, you can send Santa your wish list the old fashioned way by writing a letter and burning it in the fireplace, as I used to do when I was a kid, or you can just send him an email at one of the following addresses: http://www.emailsanta.com, http://www.greetingsfromsanta.com, http://www.marlo.com/dearsant.htm, or http://www.christmas-santa-letters.com.
