Tax Refund Special: Mobile gear
Things are a bit shaky with the economy right now, but this is also tax refund season for millions of Americans and with the average refund of about $2500 you may want to treat yourself to something nice and help keep the economy going. People are also working and playing on the go more and more as they work multiple jobs or visit with family and friends. We have five products for you to consider as you think about spending some of your tax refund on gear to go.
If you are looking for an easy-to-use and powerful mobile media, gaming, and social networking device then the Apple iPod touch is an awesome choice. With over 15,000 applications available now in the App Store you will find lots of free and commercial applications to entertain and keep you productive for days. A major focus of the iPod touch at this time (as seen on commercials) is the mobile gaming aspects and with the large colorful display and accelerometer functionality games are quite immersive and a blast to play. The iPod touch is great for watching videos, downloading and listening to podcasts, and listening to your favorite tunes. The device is amazingly slim and built very well.
Price: US$299 for the 8GB, US$299 for the 16GB, and US$399 for the 32GB
