Apple iPad
If your loved one already has a ‘Pod, it’s time to match it with a ‘Pad! Gadget-lovers usually adore having the latest technology, and this Valentine’s Day it doesn’t get much newer than the iPad. The device is a cross between the iPhone or iPod Touch, and a laptop with built in Wifi.

It may not be available to order yet, but just knowing that this Valentine’s Day gift is on the way will have your electrophile buzzing with excitement.
GorillaPod

The Gorillapod is in no way affiliated with the iPod – it is a tripod for digital cameras that far surpasses the conventional three-legged one.
