If you’re reading this, chances are you have smartly avoided the throngs at the mall madly shopping on this Black Friday. If you are wondering what electronic gadgets you are missing out on, shoppers this year are most looking for HDTVs, laptops, and GPS devices, according to a new survey by Retrevo.
Also popular this year will be Blu-ray players, game consoles, and MP3 players. Consumers who plan on spending big bucks this year on consumer electronics are split between buying products in-store and shopping online.
The Retrevo survey also found that most of those who went to a store last year on Black Friday got what they wanted and nearly half ended up buying other items beyond what they were looking for.
So if you have managed to avoid the craziness of Black Friday, congratulations. And if you did brave the shopping madness, we hope you survived.

The Smart Pen. If you are like me and you write a lot and then forget what you wrote down and cannot find the paper, this is the pen for you! It writes with ink, and just like a regular pen. It records audio and links it to what your writing, and plays audio back when tapped on paper. You can also put the notes onto your laptop or desktop computer, you can even leave your laptop at home and if you have the special dot paper (about $5 for a whole notebook) you can easily transfer all your notes onto the paper from your pen. The pen costs $149 for 1GB and $199 for 2GB.
