Friday 11/30: Apple iPod nano vs. Thursday 11/29: ASUS Eee PC Ultraportable Notebook ComputerFriday 11/30: Apple iPod nano
The new iPod nano is perhaps the slickest little iPod to date. It's super thin, holds enough music/photos/videos to keep you entertained for a few weeks before you have to update it, and is skip-proof enough to take with you to the gym or on a run. Now it's got a super high-res screen that makes looking at photos and watching videos pretty bearable despite the tiny screen. And, hey, that tiny screen is a widescreen now! Trick. nano may not be an iPod Touch or iPhone, but it's a lot less expensive. Available in 4 and 8gb models and in several colors.

For one, Asus built the Eee PC around a Linux operating system that avoids costly Windows licensing fees. While that means this might not be a great choice for a computer that will work with your corporate IT setup, it also means it's got a simple, effective interface for Web browsing, Email, and multimedia, and it's a hacker's delight. Cooler than that, though, the Eee PC literally fits in many a purse or jacket pocket. It's about half the size of a 14" laptop computer and weighs half as much, too. With built-in WiFi and a 7" color display, it's the perfect laptop for taking notes in class or catching up on Email at the cafe - especially if you don't want to shell out three times as much for something more powerful like a MacBook.
