Perhaps you would like to wake up earlier everyday to get a little more done each day. Like maybe a workout? Waking up will be a little easier if you could wake up to your favorite song instead of that blaring and annoying beep, wouldn't it. Cygnett has you covered. They have the stylish GrooveNeo iPod alarm clock that charges your mp3 player all night, wakes you up with pleasant music and is ready to go when you are. Cygnett also has the GrooveToons, a cute little round thing with big eyes that does the same as the Neo, but way cuter.

Or maybe you would like to be more organized next year. The SmartShopper digital grocery list organizer is a neat gadget to help you keep track of your groceries and errands. Press Record, say what you would like to add to your list and it adds it on. The SmartShopper comes with nearly 2,500 items and errand to choose from, and you can add your own items as well. And when you're ready to go to the store, it will print out a categorized list for you with your errands on top. Most convenient of all, it magnetically sticks to your refrigerator or mounts to your wall.

Christmas is coming, get started on your New Years resolutions early or help a loved one with theirs.

It's just over 10 inches long, 7 inches wide, a little over 1 inch thick at its thickest point and weighing in at around 3 pounds (with the battery in). This thing was made to come along with you everywhere and is so much more pleasing to look at (and not hear) than a little yappy dog in your purse. The ergonomic keyboard offers .68 inch spacing on the keys for comfort and a 10 inch LCD screen to keep your eyes from hurting. But the thing I like best about it: It ships with either a standard or retractable mouse! I guess I'm not as hard core, or as computer savvy more like, as some others, but I am simply not nearly as efficient with a touch pad as I am with a mouse.

I'm looking forward to getting my hands on one of these at CES to take it for a test drive.

It's a stylish 3 sectioned bag, of which one is a very special compartment for your laptop. The Checkpoint Flyer's laptop case is made of high-density thermo-molded foam and offers better protection from every angle than a regular padded sleeve. The case easily folds out from under the top flap to go through the x-ray at the airport, and just as easily folds back in. It's also removable and comes in 4 sizes to fit all Mac and most other laptops. The rest of the bag is U.S. made 1050 denier ballistic nylon, Japanese Dyneema rip-stop fabric, YKK splash-proof zippers, and Poron foam-padded handles.

This palm sized player has no other function but to play these little music cards for you, which you would have to carry around with you if you wanted to listen to a different artist than the one in your player. And these things are tiny. A good thing about the slotMusic cards though, is that they're each 1 GB and you can slip it into your computer and either fill up the empty space or reformat the entire thing to have whatever music you want on it. (Hey, you can bring back the "mixed tape" tradition!) You can play the cards on your computer, phone or any device that has a microSD slot on it. Or you could buy the USB adapter and do things that way. Or you can buy a real mp3 player and download a gazillion songs on it and be done.

So how many albums can you choose from anyway? Not many. So far there are only 35 artists. But to make things more interesting for you, Sansa offers 5 unique players with pictures of artists like ABBA on them. ABBA? Now, I'm not that up to speed on the newest and most popular singers out there, but I'm pretty sure that ABBA is only popular these days with people my parents age.

At least it's cheap. The regular black slotMusic player is only $19.99, or you can get a special player with Akon on it for $34.99. And each slotMusic card is $14.99.
