by rick telberg<\/em><\/p>\n

what\u2019s on your wish list? whether it\u2019s gizmos or gadgets, toys or tools \u2026 cpas love their technological hardware and software.<\/strong><\/p>\n

to be sure, cpas are a sensible lot, and their spending plans for their business purposes are led by practical things like laptops and scanners.<\/p>\n

but ask a cpa about his or her biggest tech crave and the answers are a lot more fun. blackberrys and iphones and netbooks \u2026 oh my!<\/p>\n

so if you\u2019re just beginning to assemble that holiday gift list for that special accountant in your life, take note. and if you\u2019re hoping to get that new gadget you\u2019ve lusted after all year, then just casually leave this article in a place where it might be conveniently (and totally accidentally) discovered.<\/p>\n

a battle is waging between those who can\u2019t live without their blackberry and those who love their iphones. but don\u2019t count out the microsoft operating system. and we\u2019re still waiting to see what the google droid can\u00a0do.<\/p>\n

i\u2019m not taking sides. and we\u2019re not making any recommendations or endorsements here, just reporting what cpas are telling us. so you\u2019re on your own to make your own best gifting decisions.<\/p>\n

still, cpas do seem to love their smartphones.<\/p>\n

\u201cthe smartphone\/pda continues to revolutionize business,\u201d says it manager bob davis at rea & associates in new philadelphia, ohio. \u201cas companies continue to find new and productive uses for their phones, you have to ensure your company is able to connect \u2018anytime, from anywhere.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

robert orange at orange financial solutions in atlanta, ga., couldn\u2019t live without his blackberry and\/or the wireless card on his laptop.\u00a0 \u201ci am connected 24\/7 all over the country,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

there\u2019s a managing partner at a midsized firm with a not-so-secret crush on his htc touch pro. \u201cit\u2019s not just for email,\u201d he says. he likes to check espn, reading books, doing crossword puzzles. \u201chey,\u201d he says, \u201ceveryone\u2019s gotta have a break.\u201d who\u2019d argue with that, especially considering he\u2019s the\u00a0boss?<\/p>\n

richard lee\u00a0\u00a0 in los angeles loves his iphone for enabling him to \u201creceive and send messages on the fly.\u201d and an accounting professor in washington state loves her iphone, for its \u201cportability, versatility, and apps.\u201d<\/p>\n

jerry mchale in fort myers, fla., uses videoconferencing extensively in his turnaround and workout practice. but he gets his biggest kick out of voice recognition software that makes note-taking and reporting a breeze. in fact, a number of cpas made a point of lauding dragon naturally speaking for freeing them from their keyboards.<\/p>\n

mchale is not the only one. chasity hooks at hooks & associates in lafayette, la. uses the vlingo voice commands on her blackberry. it helps keep her competitive as \u201can aggressive, young, up-and-coming firm focusing on the small business niche that bigger firms are dismissing.\u201d<\/p>\n

with the exception of the iphone, apple products have been slow to be accepted by accountants. but there are signs that\u2019s changing.<\/p>\n

marja beltrami at beltrami & associates pc in anchorage, ak, swears by her 15-inch macbook. with a 32-inch mac monitor and a microsoft small business server combo working in parallel, she calls the setup \u201csweet!\u201d<\/p>\n

jane ryder at ryder professional group in san diego says she is \u201cgetting more and more mobile,\u201d adding, with a wink, she\u2019s expecting \u201cmy phone and notebook to get married or at least start living together.\u201d<\/p>\n

to round out the holiday gift list, don\u2019t forget a kindle, a portable cd\/dvd player, skycaddie golf range finder, flip mini hd camcorder or wii. each got enthusiastic mentions in our straw poll.<\/p>\n

but my personal favorite has no wires or batteries.<\/p>\n

it comes from paul e. hornbuckle at valicenti advisory services in elmira, n.y. he loves a good corkscrew. his screwpull from le creuset is teflon coated and pulls a cork \u201ceffortlessly\u201d in seconds. \u201cno wine before it\u2019s time,\u201d hornbuckle reminds us. \u201cbut why wait any longer than you have to?\u201d<\/p>\n

why indeed?<\/p>\n
