Sometimes getting your man a new tech gadget is as simple as looking at things that he already has and either adding to it or getting him the latest version. Here are some awesome tech gifts for men:

• Xbox Kinect. If you already have the Xbox console you are in luck as you only need to purchase the Kinect software and some games. This is one of the fastest-selling gaming systems out there right now. Unlike the Wii, you don't need a remote control to operate it as you are the controller. You have a motion camera that you need to stand in the vicinity of and then it will recognize you and track your movements. It is a great way to get your man off the couch and to get him moving because the Kinect is all about body movements. A really good system will cost about $400 and then you need to purchase some games to go with it. It usually comes with the Kinect sports game but there is a handful of games on the market for the Kinect that you need to get in order to get the best use out of it.


• Andriod phones. These are very popular smartphones right now and they are actually outselling a lot of the other smartphones because of how fast they are and just how user friendly they are as well. Look into the HTC line of Andriod phones but if your man really wants an iPhone, don't cheat him and get him the phone he really wants. It will make him much happier in the long run.


• iPad 2. This is the latest version of the iPad and it is so popular that it is backordered just about everywhere you do. This is a very cool eReader and Tablet PC in one. It comes with all the cool features of your iPhone and iPod but on a larger screen with even more apps on a much larger screen.
