Top Gadgets: Hot Water Fridge, Peanuts & iPad Grip
This week we present a hot water-dispensing fridge, Peanuts-themed iPhone/iPad cases, an outdoor TV, a skinny smart phone, a 24-megapixel D-SLR, a literally handy iPad stand and a literally Jammin' ecologically-correct boombox, and a Web site where you can sell it all a few years from now.
How many megapixels does a digital camera need? This new Nikon D3200 HD-SLR ($700) packs 24.2 MP into each frame, also shoots full HD 1080p movies (hence the "HD" in its name), and includes an AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens. If you're a D-SLR novice, the menus include an Intuitive Guide Mode that walks you through functions and settings, and an optional WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter ($60) lets you not only remotely control the camera but enables you to transfer photos to Android smart phones and tablets.
