Calling All Early Adopters!
January 23rd, 2009 by Dana Wollman 
If you’re reading our blog, we suspect you’re the kind of person who follows rumors about unannounced gadgets; who would buy something before it was reviewed, just because it looked cool; or would consider holding off on a purchase because you suspected something even better was on the horizon. I’m in the process of writing a story on early adopters, and would love to talk to some real-life ones. Particularly if you recently bought a much-hyped gadget, I want to hear from you. If you have thoughts and don’t mind me quoting you in LAPTOP e-mail me at dwollman at laptopmag dot com.

I am always pushing, looking for the latest, especially if it is Lenovo’s latest ThinkPad X-series notebook. I purchased my X61, x200 as soon as I could, ordering it from Lenovo within days of it being posted. Waited seven hours (four in one AT&T location, three in a different Apple one) for the iPhone 3G. I am both a gadget freak and looking for an edge (as my small firm competes with big ones) in business; using technology to help close the resource gap in my field of business. If I wait for something I want it is usually because the feature I desire has been delayed (like Broadband in a netbook; my present target is the Sony Vaio P, but I am hesitant because the U.S. market is initially getting the slower version, while Sony has already posted the 1.6-Ghz version on its U.K. site. As much as I want the P now for its size and weight – I still have my NEC 750, 770 and 900c and HP Jornada 820 plugged in in my basement so they do not lose their charge and data – I may hold off for a chance at a faster version and belief that in this economy, prices will drop.
