Adapter will keep your iPod humming
The iTurbo charge adapter gives you the power to keep on listening to your favorite music when your Apple iPod’s battery is running low.
Simply plug the portable charger into your iPod and it can keep your digital player running for several more hours. Priced at $30, the tube-shaped gadget is small enough to tuck inside a pocket, and ships with an AA battery and a USB charging tip. A similar gadget, the TurboCharge, lets you power cellphones. It costs $20.
Gadget adds TV to computing
The VEG-N can transform your desktop or laptop computer into a television that displays TV shows and a digital video recorder that saves the shows on the computer’s hard drive. With its Picture-in-Window function, the device lets you keep an eye on a televised basketball game while working on a report on your computer.
And if you want to share the fun, you can connect the device to two computers at once, plug in a video game console and enjoy dual-screen side-by-side game play with another computer user. Cost: $100.
