1. Apple iMac G5
The new iMac G5 (external link) boasts a built in iSight camera, Front Row, and a cheaper price. It turns your computer into a complete media center, with a small remote control and Front Row; allowing you to access your music, videos, photos, and DVDs from across the room.
2. Tiger Telematics Gizmondo
The Gizmondo (external link) is an all-in-one gaming device, with tons of features from built in GPS functionality to complete multimedia capabilities. It is the most feature packed hand-held gaming device, and has a number of interesting game titles.
3. Apple iPod (video)
The new iPod (external link) features an even thinner design and video playing capabilities. Like the previous iPod, it offers seamless integration with iTunes.

There are also tons of accessories for the popular iPod.
4. Sling Media Slingbox
If you have the ultimate home theater setup you are missing one thing - the Slingbox (external link).

To watch your own TV somewhere else, such as a hotel, you simply use the small program provided.
5. Microsoft Xbox 360
The newest gaming console has hit the store shelves. Despite the possible shortage and rumored overheating issues, the Xbox 360 (external link) boast an incredible set of new features - a massive amount of processing and graphics power and HD output, for example.

That would be a factor if we were trying to sell them. We can point out the cool gadgets without taking price consideration as we have no affiliation with them.
Plus there is nothing wrong with wanting and not getting.
