The idox Traveler is designed to keep your iPod Nano, iPod Touch or iPhone stationary and upright to more easily enjoy videos, Web content, speakerphone calls, photos or podcasts—like Windy City Queercast. Simply snap your device into the Traveler; rubber feet on the bottom of the stand will keep it from slipping. Also, you won't look like a total fool trying to prop your iPod Touch against something.

Let's chill

The ravi Instant Wine Refresher will likely become an indispensible item for anyone who throws dinner parties. The secret of this revolutionary cooler is that instead of chilling the entire bottle, the ravi cools the wine itself. As the wine flows through the ravi, its temperature instantly drops by an average of 12 degrees Fahrenheit. Cool.
