Got iPod? iPhone? Need a portable sound system for those trips to the beach or a picnic? I would recommend the Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere 2 based on personal listening experiences and my website, iLounge.com for giving it an A- highly recommended rating. The Pure-Fi features a 10-hour rechargeable battery, one-touch controls and Stereo XL technology. It comes with a wireless remote, AC adapter, travel case and dock adapters for various sized iPod/iPhone models. If you have a local Apple store near you stop in and give them a listen.

While searching for a portable grill I came across the modern O Grill 3000 at Amazon.com. It comes in six colors and burns propane fuel. It’s hard to tell from the pictures just how big the grilling surface is, but the company website says it provides “225 sq. inch of grilling surface.” It also has folding legs and a carry handle. Amazon $160.
