I-pod nano and shuffle
Of course, everyone can't afford the mighty Ipod this holiday season. "Economy's down, people can't get enough pay..." but there is hope. Apple Computers have created a nice less-expnsive remedy to those "mp3-on-the-go" enthusaists with the Nano (4GB's = 1,000 songs) and the Shuffle (512 MB's = appx. 100 songs) editions. The hardest part is actually finding where these things are sold, since they are in high-demand and sell out easily. Check Apple Stores or your closest Circuit City.
Retail Price: $99-$199
