A couple of tres cool items from last month's Annual Tech Buying Guide in BusinessWeek:

The Pod - "There's something about the Pod that seems to bring a smile to the face of anyone who picks it up. Could be the unique shape and 'winged' compartment design, or could be the great colors, but this bag--much like the famous car in the commercial--just looks like it's saying 'hi.'

That being said, the Pod is all business on the inside. It's got over 20 (!) smart compartments, and is ideal for your compact camera, MP3 player, or handheld computer, plus all the accessories that travel along." [$50]

Powerdesk Watch - " PowerDisk Watch utilizes the most advanced storage technology available today. A tiny USB Flash Memory Drive sits inside the watch and can support up to 256MB of disk space.

The PowerDisk Watch allows you to access and transport data securely and conveniently. A retractable, modified, USB cord is supplied with every watch and can easily be connected to any computer with a USB port. Once connected, the computer will automatically detect it as a removable drive and you can begin synchronizing data between school, work and home with ease." [$150]

You can also check out Scientific American's Gift Guide, Gizmodo's Gift Guides, and ExtremeTech's Geek Gift Guide. Or, you can just look at any page at ThinkGeek (did you know you can get Jolt Gum now?!).

Hey, have you seen the LeapFrog iQuest? Take a look at that thumbpad. It's like training wheels for PDAs and cell phones. Expect to see the thumb generation take hold in the U.S., too.
