As the 2009 Holiday shopping season approaches, I'd thought I'd just
share some of my top 5 favorite things to buy for accessories
for a Mac User. These items are the type of items which,
you may not necessarily think of first hand ( certainly not
over say a shiny new iPod or a new iMac), but your Mac
Using friend/S.O./partner will appreciate the thoughtfulness
the same:
1. Sonnet's FW 400 to FW 800 Adapter.
as we move further and further away from FW 400 and embrace fully
FW 800, older devices such as external HDS,
old Click Wheel iPods, and Digital Camcorders still work and don't
need to be replaced, just given one of
these babies to make them fully functional to todays newer Macs.
2. Griffin iMic.
If you ever need to record audio into your mac, for whatever reason,
using a microphone, a portable tape recorder,
a portable compact disc player/recorder, or even a VCR (?),
this device will come in handy.
Its sole job is to do just that: get Sound into your Mac,
and it does it extremely well.
3. Griffin EarJams.
I hate the iPod headphones. THere I said it. :-) But these little earpiece covers from Griffin make them
more bearable to use. Just pop them on, and they help the headphones stay in your ear ( my biggest pet peeve)
and make the sound coming from them, well, sound better.
Getting harder and harder to find, but well worth it when you do.
4. Retractable iPod/iPhone Sync Cable.
If your like me, you carry a lot of stuff, and some of that tends to be cables.
And between work and home, my iPod's battery gets worn down alot.
Sometimes I need a quick recharge, and I have a computer to hook
it up to. Out comes this little handy dandy cable, which retracted is
about as long as a pack of gum.
I plug up the iPod using it, charge up its battery,
& the drive home isn't so dull anymore. :-)
5. iSnug Ipod Carrying Case.
Last one, this little handy portable case is used NOT for just my iPod,
but to carry all the little devices listed above in one
convenient carrying case,
that is about the size of a paperback book.
That way, I have quick access to all I need in this case
( i also include a retractable FW 400 cable
in there as well), and I'm ready for anything I need to do in a day's work.
All of these wonderful items can easily be found through Amazon.com.
