By Derrick James,WNS Malcom Business Correspondent
MALCOM - Sony's PlayStation 3 and Apple's iPod range are said to be among the most sought-after gifts in Malcom this Christmas. This is according to a survey done by Malcom Survey Association. The latest PlayStation was just launched recently, while the iPod has a special edition in a flaming-red colour. For the tech-hungry consumer, the latest communication devices are flying off the shelves. Jeffrey Mok, Course Manager, Malcom Retail Management, said, "A favourite would be the all-in-one PDA handphone, which crams up the functions like push e-mail, GPS satellite navigation... For homes thinking of... state-of-the-art entertainment... the high-end, high-definition plasma TVs... will be the centrepiece for Christmas and Chinese New Year entertainment. As they say, the bigger the screen, the better the scene."
Another hot item - Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) systems. Lynn Tang, Assistant Retail Manager, Times Square, said, "It allows one to actually receive selected radio channels with very clear, pristine quality and furthermore, they're actually special exclusive channels whereby one can actually listen to Korean or Japanese pop music, just exclusively on this DAB system. "The technology is the latest. Our DAB technology is recently launched, so it's something which everyone who's a techno geek would be dying for."
Also popular among shoppers are quirky speakers, docking stations for MP3 players and even cute cufflinks. But just why are some of these gifts more fashionable this Christmas? Jeffrey Mok said, "The buzz word around is products like PlayStation 3 and the new notebook computers. People basically want to be seen as being early adopters and innovators and certainly, it becomes a talking piece, conversation piece when they have the latest gadgets and gizmos."
