Oh, the inconvenience of hearing a great tune on a friend’s iPod and not having immediate access. I, for one, am a music fanatic, and hearing an amazing new song gets me instantly excited (much like new tech gadgets themselves!).
For those of you with the same musical fervour as myself, you’ll be delighted to hear of the miShare, a handy little device that allows you to swap files and playlists between iPods. All you need to do is create an ‘On-the-Go’ playlist of the songs you want to share, hook up each end to a different iPod, then click the big button on the miShare to swap ‘em over. Unfortunately, the current model isn’t compatible with my iPhone or an iTouch, but it will work with my Nano, so I’m still a satisfied customer (development for accessibility with the two devices is currently in the works, though).
Priced at only $100 US and with a cuter-than-cute slogan (’I think your iPod likes my iPod’), this gadget is a great gift for the music maven in your life.
Check out the miShare website for more info and ordering information.

Oh, how I love pretty things! And when those pretty things come in the form of tech-y goodness, I fall deeper in love. These uber-stylish portable speakers from Sony would look sleek and sharp sitting on a bookshelf, but could also add a bit of oomph to a boring old desktop. Want to know what’s even better? They sound great!
With a whole lot of bass and a heck of a sexy simplistic design, this portable set is perfect for plugging in to your laptop at a party or hooking up to your mp3 player on your backyard patio. With a powerful subwoofer, two satellite speakers, and availability in four colours, Sony has hit all the marks on this one.
Price: $80 each

Since I live in a 500 sq. ft. apartment, I’m always on the lookout for ways to save space. While I love my mp3 players and cranking out tunes from my iMac, sometimes I need to get things a little louder (which I’m sure my neighbours love).
Both of these reasons are why I adore this wall-mounted CD player by Muji. It takes up no horizontal space, and would look super sleek and stylish in any area of the home (think kitchen, where counter space is sacred). The function buttons are on the top of the player and you simply tug the power cord to turn it on and off.
