Top 10 Last Gen Electronics That Still Rock

As technology growth continues to explode, you may find that you or people you know have been left in the dust. No worries, I've put together a list of the top 10 last generation electronics that still rock, so you can find the perfect gifts for others (and yourself). Plus, you'll be keeping up with technology and not breaking the bank to do so!

	1	iPod nano 3rd gen ($125) Last year's model? Uh huh. Tiny, powerful, and still able to rock out like this year's iPod? You betcha! Save some cash this year and pick up the last gen model of the iPod nano!
	2	Shure E2c Sound Isolating Earphones ($60) Available since 2003 (yes, ages ago), these are still some of the highest-rated, top-selling earbuds on the market. People with iPods, Zunes and other music players often trade in their stock-standard headphones for a pair of premium buds, so pick up a set for your music aficionados.
	3	TomTom Third Edition Portable GPS Automobile Navigator ($80) Wow, these have come down in price. It seems like just yesterday they were like $300-400 for the average model! Well, they still are on the costly side, but you can pick up a certified-remanufactured version of the TomTom 3rd edition for just 80 bucks. This makes a great gift, especially for those who live in metropolitan areas.
	4	USB flash drive ($8, $16) What do students, office workers, housewives, and your dentist all have in common? They use a computer, and they likely have documents, spreadsheets, music and movies that need to be shared between computers and prices on these have dropped so much it's crazy! A modest 4GB model will run about $8, while you can get a beefier 8GB model for $16. If you're not sure, get the 8GB.
	5	Xbox 360 Pro Holiday Bundle 2008 ($300 or less) This system has been out for a while and is not going to be outdated anytime soon. This premium edition is about $300 and comes with all sorts of extras, but if you'd like to save some mulah, look at the more barebone consoles available.
	6	Nintendo Wii ($280) Looking for some interactive family fun? Look no further than the Wii, which was released a couple years ago and is still difficult to track down. Punch your phone number into Amazon, and they'll tell you when one is available for purchase. They're still developing many fun add-ons, like Wii Fit, and Wii Music that keep this device up-to-date.
	7	Amazon Kindle ($360) Okay, last one on the pricy side of the fence. The Kindle has been wildly successful in the past and Amazon recently dropped the cost by $40. Book, magazine, newspaper, and blog readers alike use the Kindle to read their daily literature, so it makes a perfect high-end gift for any reader.
	8	Memory Card ($9)Memory Card ($9) These multi-use cards were in the same boat as USB drives a couple years ago; they were pricey and technology was making them outdated quickly. Memory cards have slowed down now and you can get a 4GB card that holds thousands of photos on most digital cameras for just 9 bucks. If this is for someone with a digital SLR camera (the non-point and shoot kind), go for the 16GB card - it'll be perfect.
	9	Logitech ClearChat Comfort USB Headset ($30) Headsets are now an essential for Internet users everywhere, not only as gaming accessories, but as personal and business communication devices as well. This headset is top-quality at a modest price. Since it is a USB device, it connects and sets up by just plugging it in.
	10	MP3s ($0.99) The most popular and widely accepted format of music on computers is MP3. Pick up an album or a bunch of songs for someone at just 99 cents apiece. This would also go very well with a USB key, Memory Card, or iPod nano, since you can load great songs onto the device before giving it as a gift.

Whether you're looking for one perfect gift or maybe a stocking stuffer, these gifts are sure to please. At the current prices, you're getting great technology at a great price.

Happy shopping!
