Tech CEOs can have pretty much anything they want on their Christmas list, but this year one of the top items is an iPad.

[ad#Google Adsense 300×250 in story]A new feature article on USATODAY.com asked some of tech’s top chiefs what they plan on buying this year. The iPad, iTunes and Macs are among the favorites.

Alastair Rampell, CEO of TrialPay, said he’ll be buying iTunes gift cards and Walt Doyle, CEO of Where, said he is “completely loving my iPad.” He actually didn’t say he was buying another one, but I’m sure he can find a cool accessory for it to put on his list.

In part 2 of the list, PayPal President Scott Thompson is buying his wife a 27-inch iMac — good choice, I love mine. Seth Sternberg, CEO of Meebo bought the 11.6-inch MacBook Air and iPad for gifts.

George Bell, CEO of Jumptap, is giving one of his sons an iPad and West Shell, CEO of Healthline Networks wants a Kensington KeyFolio to protect his iPad.

Not a bad list of presents. I hope the families don’t read online news sites.
