Back-to-school gadget gifts

I went for the 10-year college plan, and even after my extended curriculum, I still sometimes wish I were in school. Don't get me wrong, it was difficult and I was sleep-deprived, but it seems like if I could go back today, there are a slew of new gadgets I would be all over. With no interest in lugging around a 10-pound laptop (on top of all the English anthologies I had to carry), I would have loved the Netbook options today's students have, not to mention a Wi-Fi phone and a portable scrapbook camera like the Flip UltraHD. Alas, here I am working hard, but that doesn't mean your student has to lose out. Check out CNET's Back-to-School gift guide for all your class needs.
