The new Kindle DX also gets auto-rotation (read in portrait or landscape mode), better image and photo display, native PDF support, 4GB of storage (good for up to 3,500 books), wireless 3G access, and a handy text-to-speech feature.

Sick of squinting at your tiny iPhone screen during long flights? Why not just project the movie onto the back of the seat in front of you. The Pico Pocket Projector ($430) is an ultra-portable DLP/LED projector that measures just 2 by 4.1 by 0.7 inches, weighing only 4.2 ounces. It projects a screen size up to 60 inches on nearly any surface. The Pico also has a rechargeable battery and a built-in speaker (though headphones or external speakers are recommended). [via]

The Nomad Portable Speakers ($72) are a throwback to the 1930s. It was a simpler time, before computers and technology polluted the airwaves, when radio sounded crackly not through interference, but because everything was broadcast through AM. Fortunately this deck only shares aesthetic simplicity with its 1930s brethren — the Nomad Portable Speaker features an AM/FM radio, with a stereo Auxiliary port for blasting anything from iPods to laptops.
