Flat screen TVs top Americans' christmas wishlists

A third of Online Americans would like a flat-screen HDTV for Christmas, according to a survey (PDF) by Solutions Research Group (SRG) for Digital Life America -- Holiday 2007 Edition. The HDTV was followed by a new Windows laptop (20%), a digital camera (17%) and a new Windows desktop PC (14%).

The top four items were the same for both men and women. However, the blokes had a greater preference for a Sony PS3 (10%), Xbox 360 or Nintendo Wii (8% each). The girlies, by contrast, wanted a Wii (9%) or an Apple laptop (7%).

As you can see, a Blu-ray or HD DVD player sneaks into the overall Top 10 (6%) without being in either the men's or women's published lists.

Notable absentees? There are no MP3 players in either Top 10, and SRG's commentary also notes that "Apple's iPhone was ranked #15 overall".

Also, as it failed to mention, not enough people want a Dukla Prague away kit.
