Women love gadgets ... : http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/08/02/tech_beats_shoes/
I'm the go to person and no, my girlfriends don't love gadgets, they tolerate them as means to an end.
As for a decisions between a Judith Leiber minaudiere and a plasma tv, the price is about equal, the minaudiere won in all cases.
Which brings up another question : Who did they call for this poll ?:confused:

I'm guessing a younger generation was polled... in the call center I'm in, it's mostly women, 25 and under... and yes.. they are gadget inclined.

my eldest sister would definately buy a plasma, but my younger sisters would go out with their friends for the $500

Yeah I can see where the age would be a factor, but I'd like to see what the poll results would be of the same females in 10-15 years

I'm thinking the first article linked at the bottom of the page was more interesting. Something about how many people switch off their phones during....:eek:

Course, ya gotta remember, these surveys are done on Brits and as rjfvillarosa and Freakitchen have shown, they can be an odd bunch!;) :D

Makes ya wonder where the pollsters get a supposed random sampling...from the female subscribers to Popular Mechanics?...kidding. I really do think the younger generation of women are more mechanically/techically inclined. I see this in my 3 nieces.

It's not women liking gadgets per se. Women are automatically interested in whatever makes them be noticed and look appealing and denote status. If it's jewellery, then so be it; if it's gadgets, then so be it; if it's [insert what have you here], then they'll use it.
