If you ask most people what the best type of gift to buy for men is, the first thing that springs to mind is usually "gadgets". Of course, plenty of women love their gadgetry too, but it's rare to find a man who isn't interested in a piece of technology that will make his life easier or just more fun. From phones, computers, games consoles and cameras to specialist tools for the home, garden and car, find a gadget to match your man's interests and you have found the perfect gift.
In terms of multimedia, and particularly portable multimedia, there are a lot of choices that can make excellent gifts for the tech savvy guy. Here are some ideas:
Tablets
The hottest, must have gadget currently on the market is of course the iPad. Now in its second generation, the iPad offers everything the iPod Touch did, but on a grander and more powerful scale. You can do everything from sketch and play games to compose emails and surf the net, as well as being able to watch movies and play music as you could on the smaller devices. It also allows for video calling, and plenty of apps are available both to help with work and communications and to keep him entertained - excellent for long flights. Of course, the iPad is pricey, and not everybody loves Apple products, so it is worth considering the numerous alternatives available from companies like Dell, Blackberry and Toshiba. These tend to retail for a lower price, and if somebody is a Blackberry user for their phone, it could be that they would prefer that tablet.
