Not all gadgets are affordable. But sure you can have your own if you look for the ones can meet your prices. SciFi blogs has published an exclusive review on which gadgets you can afford. Worth a Look.

…it's time to stop playing Trump and return to this thing called "reality." This decidedly thriftier zone isn't such a bad place, since there are plenty of gadgets out there priced for the everyman (and his poorer cousin, the college student). And inexpensive isn't the same a cheap. Shopping on the discount side of tech doesn't necessarily mean you have to compromise on your gadgets' features, as our frugal selections prove. A couple of our listmakers have price tags that aren't exactly in discount-bin territory, but when you consider the value you're getting for your dollar, they're big-time bargains in their categories. So proudly empty the loose change in your pockets and click on the jump to see what you can do with it….

Sony NW-E005 flash drive Walkman

leave a comment

the NW-E005 comes in versions from 512MB to 2GB, and comes in a range of colors. But Sony has added one key feature: the new model now supports the AAC file format, which Sony is in the process of adding to all new players. As previously mentioned, although AAC is the default format used by iTunes, these players won't be able to play any DRM-protected iTunes downloads. However, if you've ripped CDs into AAC using iTunes, you will be able to play them back in the NW-E005 without having to convert them into another format first. Sony's also rolled out a waterproof case for this player, though we'd still be a little wary of taking it into the shower or pool.

Wall Street Journal has confirmed that the included VoIP app will indeed be, as we anticipated, Google Talk. Unfortunately this means that the device will still be unable to call regular phone numbers out of the box, although G Talk members will at least be able to chat among themselves for free. The WSJ is also reporting (only to its subscribers, not to us) that sources close to Nokia have said that the new device will be officially unveiled on Tuesday, and sell for around $390 when it hits stores.
