RADIOSHARK
TiVo + Radio = radioSHARK. Pause a broadcast during potty-breaks or rewind to enjoy our President’s verbal gaffes many times
over! This USB-powered fin-like beauty will also rip straight from the airwaves to digital files; you can even schedule recordings
ahead of time if you don’t want to wake up at 6am to catch the first hour of Stern. $70, http://www.griffintechnology.comREDROVER AUDIO SOFTWARE

The RedRover module and foot pedal allows you

feet away. Punch in, punch out, sync to the built-in
metronome, and never again inadvertently whack
the fretboard of your guitar against the LCD during
an intense shred. Includes the full version of Adobe
Audition sound editing software.

Elves can’t carry much, so the eTrex Vista C’s
tiny dimensions are perfect for their wee pock-
ets. What’s more, it’s waterproof (great for bliz-
zards), the screen can be read in direct sunlight
(lots of glare in the snow, you know), and it
gets an amazing 20 hours of battery life from
just two AA cells. $428, http://www.garmin.comCASIO EXILIM EXZ55
