Fun On The Run

Limiting your entertainment hours to your living room is just too yesterday for words. Today's audiophiles, video viewers, and serious gamers are totally unwired, unattached, and unrestricted. These great gifts will get you off the couch and into the flow.



Personal Audio Player:
Apple iPod nano 4GB

There are two ways we can go about this. Let's start with the right brain. The iPod nano is quite possibly the most elegant piece of hardware ever to grace a music-lover's palms. In a word, the nano is pure cool. The left-brained analysis boils down to one phrase: 0.27ths of an inch. That's the thickness of the iPod nano — just a hair over a quarter-inch.

Besides, the industrial design is flawless. This iPod shimmers, looking more like a piece of jewelry than an electronic device. It makes the previous generation iPod mini look like a clunky child's toy. Apple's design brilliance has never been more apparent than in the nano.
