Movipod

by Scott Steinberg

First it went mainstream. Now the iPod goes Hollywood with Nyko’s movie player attachment. Connect the MoviePlayer, then store and view photos and films on its backlit 3.5-inch color screen. A flip-top design protects the panel during downtime, while idiotproof controls and integrated stereo speakers enhance impromptu screenings. Bonus: A built-in power supply even adds up to six hours of battery life to your existing reserves. $249. www.nyko
