Samsung's handheld camcorder packs high-quality HD video in a small package. Sure, it's bigger than your smartphone, but it also takes much better footage than your smartphone. This camcorder retails for $230.

2. Joby GorillaMobile for iPhone 4
The Joby GorillaMobile is a fantastic, flexible tripod for the iPhone 4, which is enhanced by a fun, free app, Frame X Frame. The GorillaMobile for iPhone 4 is a good purchase for anyone looking for a tripod solution for his Apple phone -- and the tripod kit also contains a bumper frame and a bonus camera adapter clip so that you can use the tripod with other compact cameras, too. The app provides useful features, such as a spirit level and a self-timer, enabling your iPhone to capture both time-lapse sequences and stop motion montages.

3. Logitech Keyboard Case by ZAGG for iPad 2
You spent a lot of money on your iPad 2, and you take it everywhere. To protect it, you want a case. To make the iPad work even more for you, you'd like a keyboard so you don't have to type your emails just with your index fingers. Enter the Logitech Keyboard Case. Although it's not cheap ($100), the sleek and shiny aluminum case matches the iPad exterior, protects the iPad screen and adds productivity-boosting convenience.

4. Etymotic hf3 Headset and Earphones
The key to in-ear earphones, especially those that promise noise-isolation, is a good seal. Etymotic has good instructions for how to insert the hf3 earphones on its website (it even has a video), and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better value for high-quality, in-ear headphones. The earphones definitely do their job when it comes to noise isolation -- they block out the sounds of the subway, ambient street noise and even office chatter, and you get crisp sound with comfort.

5. MiLi Power Projector 2 pico projector
At $399.95, this isn't a cheap gadget, but it's a fun item for someone looking to splurge. Insert your iPhone into the portable MiLi projector, and you can project it onto a wall -- we found a size and brightness sweet spot 40' from the wall. Sure, it's not a home theater, and the VGA resolution means you won't see the nuances and details you're used to on a big screen TV, but it's a much better viewing experience than on the iPhone.
