I didn't buy too mµch tech last year:

Nexus 7 3g (2012)
Marantz M-CR610
Jolla

Out of the box, for me it's the Marantz. DAB, Internet radio and Spotify integration has given me hours of joy.

That's not to put the Jolla down. I find it quite impressive, and it improves with every update/addition to the Jolla store. The tohd fix has brought the device forward in leaps and bounds, and gives you a real sense of security, knowing you can use it without fear of the battery dying.

The Nexus is a nice device, but the other 2 are in front for me. I just haven't engaged with it as much.

Crikey, I just remembered I bought a few other things, but my choices stand.
