Top 10 must-have gadgets

This month's stars include the new Logitech Squeezebox Boom and the Nintendo DS Lite. What else is hot on our most recent Must-Have Gadgets list? A stellar flat-panel TV, a sexy Bluetooth headset, and an extreme LCD monitor. Rather than trying to compare gadgets across multiple categories, we present them in alphabetical order because, when you get right down to it, we think they're all must-haves.

Aliph Jawbone 2 (black)

Despite its quirks, the Aliph Jawbone 2 is quite possibly the ultimate Bluetooth headset in terms of design and sound quality.

Apple iPhone 3G (16GB, black)

The iPhone 3G delivers on its promises by adding critical features and sharper call quality. The iTunes App Store is pretty amazing, and the 3G support is more than welcome. Critical features still are missing, and the battery depletes quickly under heavy use, but the iPhone 3G is a big improvement over the original model.

Apple iPod Touch (first generation, 16GB)

The iPod Touch is a beautiful product, inside and out, but prepare yourself for sticker shock.

Canon PowerShot SD850 IS

The Canon PowerShot SD 850 IS has just about everything you'd want in a point-and-shoot.

Gateway XHD3000 Monitor (30-inch)

Although it costs more than competing 30-inch LCDs, the Gateway XHD3000 goes a long way toward justifying its high price with a long list of features and outstanding performance.

Logitech Harmony One

While it's missing an RF option, Logitech's Harmony One is one of the best--if not the best--universal remote we've ever tested.

Logitech Squeezebox Boom

The Logitech Squeezebox Boom is the best all-in-one tabletop Wi-Fi radio we've seen to date.

Nikon D3 (body only)

Nikon's flagship dSLR packs a full-frame 12-megapixel sensor and is a highly versatile imaging powerhouse that lets photographers create images previously impossible to capture.

Nintendo DS Lite (polar white)

With a slick new design, brighter screens, and a growing library of fun and innovative games, the Nintendo DS Lite is an impressive improvement over the original DS.

Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ800U

With the accuracy of its THX mode and great black-level performance, the Panasonic TH-50PZ800U is one of the best-performing HDTVs available.
