The Shirt Pocket Camcorder.

This is the compact digital camcorder that is slightly larger than a deck of playing cards, yet its screen opens and pivots up to 270 deg to provide the same viewing screen used in larger, bulkier camcorders. The 5 megapixel camcorder can take video and pictures, and can capture up to two hours of 720 x 480 resolution video footage at 30 fps, and its 2 1/2" LTPS LCD color screen can display still images up to 4032 x 3024 resolution using its built-in image enhancement firmware. Motion stabilization technology ensures image stability while shooting videos, and the camcorder has 8X digital zoom capability. It has 32 MB of built-in memory; an SD card slot supports up to 1 GB of additional memory (card not included). It has a USB port that allows you to download video or pictures to a computer. A rechargeable Li-Ion battery provides two hours of operation for high-resolution video capture; the battery requires four hours to fully recharge. Includes remote control. 4 3/4" H x 1" W x 2 1/2" D. (4 3/4 oz.)

The Every Room Wireless iPod Speaker System.

This is the wireless speaker system that transmits music from an iPod (or another audio source) to remote speakers located anywhere in your home or outdoors up to 150' away, five times the range of similar devices that rely on Bluetooth transmissions. It uses FHDSS technology, a communications algorithm that will not interfere with WiFi networks or cordless telephones, and unlike Bluetooth or analog signals that mute or produce static in response to poor signals, the unit automatically corrects signal errors to prevent sound distortion or impedance. A patented technology developed from years of psychoacoustic research restores original audio data lost during compression of digital music files, a common characteristic of many iPod music file formats, resulting in CD-quality sound. The system has two 2.1 stereo surround sound speakers (supports up to four speakers; additional speakers sold below), one integrated into the base and a remote speaker, that have two full-range, neodymium tweeters and a ported subwoofer, producing crisp lows, mids, and highs indoors or outdoors. The remote speakers' AC adapter and cord integrate into the back of the speaker, allowing you to mount it directly to a wall outlet, or the cord extends for stand-alone use on a bookshelf or floor. The base unit has a 3.5 mm audio port for connection to a CD player, computer, home entertainment system, and more. Includes a remote control. Base: 8 1/4" H x 9 3/4" W x 6 3/4" D. Remote speaker: 9" H x 5 3/4" W x 4 1/4" D.

The Wireless Stock Market Reporter.

This portable wireless stock market reporter allows you to track the Dow Jones Industrial Average, NASDAQ stock market, and the Standard And Poor's 500 Index from anywhere in the contiguous United States, without the need for a dedicated computer or internet connection. Information for the three investment sources is relayed to the device once every 15 minutes through a free wireless information network--the same paging network used by doctors and first responders, renowned for its reliability and signal strength. The top portion of the screen displays all three indices and includes current points. Pressing the device's button allows you to track each index individually on a graph at the bottom of the device's screen. The reporter has a built-in magnet that allows it to attach to appliances, a wall-mounting hole on its back, and a flip-out stand, so it can be used on a table or desk. Requires three AAA batteries that provide power up to a full year. 5" L x 5" H x 3/4" D. (6 oz.)

The LP-to-iPod Converter.

This is the belt-driven turntable that converts and saves your prized vinyl LPs to MP3 format directly to a 5th Generation iPod or 2nd Generation iPod Nano connected to its built-in dock.

Includes 1/8" RCA output and cable for connection to a stereo system equipped with either a CD or AUX input. It can also plug directly into your computer with its included USB cable, allowing you to convert your LPs to MP3 using the included recording software (PC/Mac) for the removal of scratches, hisses, and pops, but will operate with any software that supports USB audio input sound cards. 20 1/4" W x 3" H x 17" D.
