Still working on some last minute holiday shopping? We’ve put together a list of some of our favorite gift ideas this year to help you cross those last few people off your list:
#1. The iPad ™ *
Our first gift idea doesn’t need much of an introduction. The iPad from Apple® has been selling like hotcakes this year, and that trend looks to continue into 2011. The most recent iOS update gave the 9.7-inch LED backlit tablet the ability to print wirelessly, stream media through your Apple TV®, and most importantly, multitask, meaning you can switch back and forth from your Angry Birds gaming marathon to check your email.
While many iPad fans may claim the device is perfect, not all data plans that come with it are. Have you ever tried using FaceTime® with your 3G connection? Probably not, since it can’t be done on a 3G network. That’s where the Clear iSpotTM comes in. The iSpot works as a 4G mobile hotspot for iOS devices, meaning it isn’t limited just to the iPad. Your iPhone® 3GS/4G and iPod touch® can get a piece of the 4G action too. Service plans start at just $25 per month** for unlimited*** data (try getting that with a 3G plan from AT&T), and if you buy an iSpot from clear.com this Thursday or Friday [link to sale page], it is on sale for only $20**.
#2. Xbox 360® with Kinect ™ *
Microsoft’s new controller-free gaming system has been making headlines all year, even before it became available in November. Players can interact with the Xbox 360 by using gestures, voice commands, and object recognition. It makes for an incredible gaming experience and is a gift that will keep the whole family entertained.
On its own the Xbox 360 is an impressive gaming machine, but it truly shines when paired with an internet connection and Xbox LIVE®. Combine the Xbox 360 with the new Clear Home Modem with Wi-Fi for the ultimate Xbox 360 experience. If you don’t have a wireless adapter for your XBox 360, you can always utilize the Ethernet port on the Clear Modem with Wi-Fi to fulfill your Xbox 360’s internet needs.
#3. ASUS® U33Jc-A1 Bamboo *
When it comes to style, you really can’t beat the elegance of the ASUS U33Jc-A1 Bamboo notebook. It’s a comfortably portable 13.3-inch laptop that’s as solid inside as it looks on the outside. Packed with a 2.4GHz Core i3-370M CPU, NVIDIA® Optimus™ technology for incredible graphics, and a solid 6 hours of battery life****, whoever you give this to is likely to think you spent a lot more than $999 on it.
Even though the ASUS Bamboo notebook is ultra-portable, there’s nothing worse than carrying around your laptop and not being able to jump online and respond to an email when you need to. The Clear Spot® 4G+ is the perfect companion for the person who carries his/her work around, providing super fast 4G internet when you’re in a CLEAR coverage area and falling back to 3G when you’re not.***** You’ll never have to worry about finding a café with wireless again.
If you are looking to give the gift of 4G technology this holiday season, this is your week. We have a new deal each work day this week. Head over to clear.com/holiday-sale to find out which deals have been unlocked!
