Kenwood Here2Anywhere
The benefits of owning a Kenwood Here2Anything radio are two-fold. First, the
H2A is a receiver for Sirius’ satellite broadcasts. So, for the monthly subscription
rate of $13, you get commercial-free radio up the ying-yang. Everything from
Latin jazz to 80s pop to classic punk to financial news, at your beck and call. On
top of that, the Here2Anywhere is compact, lightweight, easy to use, and explic-
itly designed for portability. “Docking kits” that include a cradle, adapter, antenna,
requisite cables, and mounting hardware are available for both
the home and car (purchased separately), making it possible
for you to take your Here2Anywhere everywhere.
(Home docking kit, $70; car docking kit, $30)

Road-Wired Podzilla
When we first heard that the “Podzilla” was coming, we pictured a
hulking mutant life-form poised to wreak havoc on our fair city of
Brisbane. No such luck. Still, as a digital-lifestyle bag, the P-Zilla’s
pretty cool. More flexible than a Cirque Du Soleil act, more rugged
than a pair of Toughskins, the Podzilla accommodates all the hand-
held gadgets, batteries, cables, and adapters that characterize a geek
on the go. The fully padded main compartment
sports an adjustable divider, which can segment
the case into different regions. The zippered wing
pockets on the bag’s sides are themselves pep-
pered with pouches. The bag even boasts a
“secret compartment.” http://www.roadwired.com

Good Tidings and Happy New Gear


In a fit of folly befitting the season, we put aside benchmarking and apples-to-apples


comparisons for the good old-fashioned pursuit of “stuff”—tech gear and accessories


that we hand-selected and played with ourselves.


They’re the ideal gifts for geeks this holiday.
