Top 10 Holiday Gift Ideas for the 'Technosexual' On Your List
OK...I've read the list and while it is interesting....it also need some serious help. Expect a PDAToday approved list in the coming weeks....but for your enjoyment here is what Ricky Montalvo has to say...even if it is uninspired...sorry Ricky....

Move over metrosexuals, there's a new guy in town who rivals your fashion sense but can also hook up a VCR. He's the "technosexual," -- a "chic geek" if you will.

Ricky Montalvo, who coined the phrase, is releasing his "Top 10" list of holiday gift ideas for the technosexual on your gift list.

"The technosexual is a man of style and tech sophistication," says Montalvo, a self-described fashionista and geek, who founded Technosexual.org in December 2003. "You'll see him at the latest art gallery opening, but not without his PDA/cell phone combo to keep him connected. Simply put, he navigates through life with the empowerment of technology and a flair for style."

According to Montalvo, shopping for the technosexual could be challenging, as he's a discerning fellow who wants the latest high-tech gadgets that will suit his chic lifestyle.

"Top 10" Holiday Gifts For Your Chic Geek

Here are some of the hot new techy products introduced in 2004, which Montalvo says will top any technosexual's gift wishlist:

1. Tissot High-T Watch: If all your watch does is tell time, then you're
missing out. The touch screen feature on the new Tissot High-T keeps
you connected to MSN Direct, so your sports scores, news, weather and

Montalvo's official definition of the technosexual is: a dandyish narcissist in love with not only himself, but also his urban lifestyle & gadgets; a straight man who is in touch with his feminine side but has fondness for electronics such as cell phones, PDA's, computers, software, and the web.
