Each and every year, we here at Giz accumulate a lot of gadgets we don’t need or want. Some of them are review products that never get collected, some are prizes from competitions entered at events, others are part of the obligatory swag bags. This year though, we’re giving those gadgets to you, as part of the Great Giz Xmas Giveaway of 2009.
For the next three weeks, we’ll be giving away a different gadget each day. Some of the bigger items are ex-review, and so have been tested by me. Mostly though, they’re brand new and still in their wrapping.
Today’s prizes are eight iLuv iPod Nano cases, worth $24.95 each.
To enter, tell us in 25 words or less in the comments section below: “What’s your ultimate Christmas Gadget?”
Entries close at midnight tonight, Sydney time.

I like Fredz idea, however, bigger! World as a speaker like when an earthquake makes it ring like a bell, should be an ipod attachment.

My ultimate gadget would be the mighty robot Boltron ™.
Boltron ™ feeds on empties and garden waste and extrudes home brew beer and bacon.
Boltron ™ can also detect that it is late at night and you are pissed and will prepare kebab for you on the spot.
He is also a storage device and TV tuner with the ability to project Hi-Def images onto the nearest wall. Why Boltron ™ even has a soundbar attached to his behind with 17 speakers to simulate surround sound!
