Apple's iPod handles your music, data, and even wakes you up in the morning

Consider that Apple's iPods come with up to a 40GB of storage. Then consider that, while you're on the road, you really need to backup your data. That's right. You can use the iPod as an entertainment system and for traveling data backup, storage, and transfer. Just plug the USB or firewire connector into any computer to transfer data: music, photos, documents, your address book...or just copy all the data that lives on your computer hard drive at home. Built-in features let you maintain contacts, calendar, and to-do lists. It's got a notes reader that lets you download text-based information and read it on its (tiny) screen. This could be the ultimate travel gadget. It has a sleep timer so you can fall asleep to your music, or wake you up with it. This is the third generation design, and Apple's really got the interface, connectors, and ease-of-use fine tuned. The feeling is that the others don't come close.
