lets see..my checklist :

iPod - Nop.
Phone - yup.
camera -(family has one)...

ao the overall answer is Nop coz i don't have all three...

matt_shaw · December 28th, 2005, 01:39 AM

well i can assure you a good percent of all high school students in north america have all three

Raheel · December 28th, 2005, 01:49 AM

Yes you are right, it also depends on the location of the people... you could expect to find higher percentage of such people in tokyo, london..etc... these gadgets have become a sort of fashion these days....

All of my friends in college had a cell phone, ipod and digital camera, myself included. A few actually had two cell phones (A regular cell phone and a Sidekick). It's fairly common, especially in colleges here in the states, for students to have all three.

andyhui01 · December 28th, 2005, 03:28 AM

it is very common in asia for students to have all 3here... including myself.. well actually... 1 iPod, 2cameras and 2 cell phones

SL65 · December 28th, 2005, 03:34 AM

Yeah in Korea, everyone and anyone has atleast 5-megapixels on them at any given time i rekon!!

I have 2-pods, 1 cam, 2 phones. There are waay more in my household though..

andyhui01 · December 28th, 2005, 03:44 AM

hehe... don't even start talking about my household...I have 2phones, (Samsung E730 & Razr) my bro has 2phones(SE w800i & this LG 3G phone), my dad has 2 phones(SE P910i & SE k750i), my mom has a Treo 650, Blackberry and a MotoRazr. We have a Canon 350D, my Fuji S5200 and Casio Z40, my bro's Casio Z750 and my mom's Sony T3. My bro has a 4gen iPod, my mom has the latest 30gb, I have the 3G 20gb iPOd and my dad just bought the nano.

ESPNSTI · December 28th, 2005, 03:56 AM

So do you ever still have time talk to each other then? images/smilies/tongue.gif

andyhui01 · December 28th, 2005, 04:14 AM

... we still talk to each other... about tech stuff mainly. Then my mom just gets lost... all my moms gadgets were chosen by either me or my dad. All she has to do is tell us what she wanted from the gadget and we'll tell her the best thing to buy.

Plus... my parents travel alot so they are hardly ever home, I talk to them alot of phones anyways images/smilies/biggrin.gif

AxlxA · December 28th, 2005, 06:11 AM

typical asian family.

As for me, I've owned 2 mp3 players, 3 cell phones, and 2 cameras.

Currently own one of each.

30gb ipod video, canon SD400, and some samsung non camera phone.

I think for the statement of "Everyone has ipod/phone/camera" is valid for those in my age group, 20s, and also depends on the economy of the families. Some of my friends are spoiled and some are making their own money. EVeryone's priority was ipod, then phone, then camera.

For those that went to a private university, i bet everyone has 5 of each item!!!! I went to a University of California, so we were pretty middle.

Vette Boss · December 28th, 2005, 06:33 AM

Finally done with my obessive computer build, just got an ATI All-In-Wonder X800XT, HDA/HiteC X-Mystique 7.1 DDL, and some g.skill 1gb PC3200 2-2-2-5 TCCD RAM. Also I put some aftermarket cooling on the videocard. Now I can enjoy some games and OC-ing with my rig.

Couple pics of my rig, I'm calling it "Obsession":

Take note of my obsessive care with nearly every wire, that drove me up the wall for a few hours. images/smilies/wallbash.gif

AxlxA · December 28th, 2005, 07:29 AM

WOAH THAT IS COOL!!!!

looks like there's only one harddrive though.. is it SATA?

Nice neon blue, hope that wont annoy you after a month of bluish glow in your room.
Good choice on the gfx card as well, that's what i would get if i wanted tv on the comp. Evertying looks top notch!

Vette Boss · December 28th, 2005, 07:42 AM

Yup... SATA, it's 200gb so it's all I really need for the moment, might put a couple more 250gb-ers in sometime. Cathodes don't really bother me, my rig is to the left of my desk so it doesn't annoy me. I get a lot of comments from people that like the lights. images/smilies/tongue.gif

The videocard is certainly impressive, playing all the new games out and including the tv-capture stuff too.

I'm very happy with it.

jensked · December 28th, 2005, 10:44 AM

^ wow that's very neat. I like things that are built well. Seems like you've put a lot of care in it.

What's the wire that goes out of the computer next to the cd-drives?

Vette Boss · December 28th, 2005, 10:54 AM

^ That wire goes to the fan on the side panel, it's not shown in the pic.

XYZviper · December 28th, 2005, 02:19 PM

Sony Ericsson K300i mobile.

Realy happy with it (could be more that 12mb of memory). images/smilies/smile.gif

jayjaya29 · December 28th, 2005, 04:47 PM

Wow its looking sweet vette, I know how much of a pain in the ass it is to tidy up the wires. I have spent numerous hours on my case to get them just right. The blue theme goes nicely, I have 2 blue cathodes in my case, I don't mind them much either.

Cosworth · December 30th, 2005, 01:02 AM

Fancy tidying the wires in mine ?
