Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.    The latest survey of consumers by the Consumer Technology Association finds holiday shopping lists are again filled with tech.   TVs, laptops, smartphones and tablets rank as most popular…but some new categories are making it into the top ten.  The CTA’s Danielle Cassagnol…

“At number 8 are drones, the first time they’ve showed up on our top ten list, fitness activity trackers and then at number ten, home robotic vacuums, which also showed up on the list for the first time this year.”

Even though the Roomba has been around for years,  the iRobot line is more capable than ever before…and there are some worthy competitors too.   When it comes to drones,  there are fun, easy to fly choices from GoPro, Parrot and the little Spark from DJI takes simplicity to a whole new level…even featuring gesture controls just using your hands.
