Sandisk Sansa–A MP3 player for the cost of a CD???

Sandisk Sansa 512MB MP3-$16.99

When I saw this I almost choked on my breakfast.  The Sandisk Sansa 512 MB for $16.99?  Unbelieveable.  And even better, if you have never used Google Checkout before, you get to take $10 off, lowering your price to an almost giveaway of $6.99 (this includes FREE shipping!)

 Pick up some for stocking stuffers.  Get one for jogging around the track.  How about one just for mowing the grass?  At this price get one for while you are in the shower (just kidding).  The point is get one now before they sell out.

Dell Outlet - Better than new?

Now, I normally don’t just recommend a company as a whole, but this scratch & dent division is definitely something worth taking a look at.  That’s right, Dell the #1 site to home computer retailer has an outlet site.  As a matter of fact, I just purchased a home office computer there with a bunch of different upgrades (RAM, video card, dual drives, etc.) for less than $550 delivered.  This is quite an experience that is not to be missed for those in the market for a “new” computer system.

A simple look at the inventory categories tells you all you need to know.  There are “scratch and dent”, “previously ordered new”, and “refurbished” systems to choose from.  FYI, my latest system was a “scratch and dent” and there was not a mark on it.  The only thing that I could see wrong with it was that the Windows Vista sticker on top of the case was applied wrong and had a big bubble in it.  Talk about a bargain.  If I were to buy a similarly configured system though Dell, it would cost me about $950 delivered.  That’s a savings of $400!

 All of the systems come with at least a one year warranty (same as new).  Worried about getting someones “mouse germs” from one of the refurbished systems?  Well, Dell realizes your germophobia and includes all new keyboards and mice in its outlet shipments.  I really don’t think you can go wrong here and I hope you are enjoying your new Dell Outlet system soon.

Price: $499.0

I have to admit, GPS is still a new technology to most of my family. For frequent travelers like myself, these handy little gadgets are hardly an option though.

This is the only GPS company to incorporate FREE lifetime traffic technology to help you steer clear of bottlenecks. Dynamic, real-time traffic feeds give you the information you need to route around traffic situations. Another exclusive: ZAGAT Survey Ratings and Reviews so you know where to wine, dine and unwind.

With so many different mp3 players to choose from, what makes the Ipod Touch the one to buy? Well, for one it has the ‘touch’ factor.
