I just went through a pile of last year’s Mac magazines, and I have a list of nice, shiny things to buy:
- inMotion Portable iPod speakers
- iPod Armor - even though my iPod has held up well in the desert, I am still afraid of breaking it. I do not think this armor stops bullets though, even though they say it is built like a tank.
- Canon Digital Rebel - I had the film version of this entry level camera. Now I want the 6 megapixel digital version, which can use the lens I already have. And, it is under $1,000.
- Kensington WiFi Finder - I can war-walk an airport or hotel without fooling with my laptop.
- TiVo Home Media Option - schedule recordings from any web browser
What is on your wish list?
Altec Lansing inMotion speakers
These speakers do sound pretty darn good.
I got them because I thought they'd make nice travel speakers. I use them more often around the house, and not be so antisocial wearing my Shure e2c headphones. ;-)
Kensington Wi Fi Finder
I've tried this unit and it's somewhat of a dog. Most reviews I've read indicate it's not quite ready for prime time.
The SmardID WiFi detector is known to be better:

Wi-fi Finder not so good
I don't have one, but almost everything I've read about this gadget (e.g. this review or these Amazon user reviews) says the thing isn't worth it.
Oh don't get me started...
forget Tivo homemedia option
and use TivoWeb:

forget Tivo homemedia option
I would like to schedule recordings from somewhere far away from my TiVo, without being on the same network as the TiVo. I did not see anything in this project that does that. Am I missing something?
