Pocket Ace

Joining the crowded field of low-cost digital audio players, the Evergreen DN-2000 is smaller than a keychain and able to play most standard non-protected file types (MP3, WMA, etc). It relies on SD cards for storage (not included) and has no screen, much like an iPod Shuffle. Where this dainty player distinguishes itself however is that at a cool $19, it´s virtually disposable. Lose one, and for the cost of a round of beers (or two albums on iTunes Music Store) you can buy another. Evergreen DN-2000 audiocubes.com; $19

Submersible Snapshots

Underwater camera and camcorder housings tend to cost a mint and are usually hard-shell, which makes them tough to pack for travel. Ewa-marine makes dive-ready flexible bags that accommodate a wide range of digital and film cameras and camcorders and can be submerged to about 30 feet (some versions can go down to 150 feet, depending on the model of camera). Unlike pro housings, use of manual controls is limited, however some bags allow space for lights or flash units as well as long zoom lenses. Ewa-marine Housings rtsphoto.com; $100-$500
