Samsung LNT4061F 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTVSamsung LNT4061F 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV
Buy new: Too low to display
This HDTV is a good deal, reproducing video up to 1080p, the best HD that's available today. 3 HDMI inputs, a wonderful thing. Many devices such as up-converting DVD players, HD-DVD and Blue Ray DVD players, HD cable boxes, camcorders, etc., now offer HDMI connectivity. It includes an NTSC/ATSC/QAM HD tuner for local HD broadcasts, and in some locations, digital cable without a set-top box.
Apple 30 GB iPod AAC/MP3 Video Player Black (5.5 Generation)Apple 30 GB iPod AAC/MP3 Video Player Black (5.5 Generation)

Great toy, I use it mostly in my car and while traveling. It's sexy, not terribly expensive, and holds movies that you can play on your TV. I don't recommend viewing movies on the built-in screen unless you're starving for entertainment and your choices are limited. It's too small. But as a music player and music back-up system, it's the best.
Palm Z22 HandheldPalm Z22 Handheld
Buy new: $93.99 / Used from: $61.99
If you're looking for a great no-frills PDA that gets the job done, and has a respectable battery life, look no further. The Palm Z22 is the one for you (and for me). It has all the functions you'll need to plan your schedule, set alarms and dates (assuming she's available), and even store a few pictures. Con: it's practically impossible to replace the battery unless you're a seasoned hacker.
Canon VIXIA HV30 MiniDV High Definition Camcorder with 10x Optical Image Stabilized ZoomCanon VIXIA HV30 MiniDV High Definition Camcorder with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Buy new: $591.01 / Used from: $700.00
This model offers a 24p mode for that "film look" of 24 23.98) frames per second, a 30p mode, regular 60i mode, and 3 megapixel pics to boot. You can shoot in HDV 1080i or standard definition DV. Try finding another HDV camcorder at this price, with a 24p/30p option... it doesn't exist. If you like to edit on Apple's Final Cut Pro you will need the Canon codec, or use Prores 422.
