Buzz-Worthy Gadget Gifts

		V-Moda Vibe Duo iPhone Headphones - The iPhone is a seriously cool device, but the included headphones aren't particularly good. And, because the headphone socket is recessed, you can't just pop in a better set of headphones; they won't fit. Fortunately, new headphones are being designed for the iPhone, including the $100 V-Moda Vibe Duo headphones. As well as sounding better than the cheap headphones bundled with the iPhone, the Vibe Duos can also be used as a headset; there's a microphone and control button on the right ear cable. This combination lets you answer phone calls, skip tracks, and pause and resume music without having to touch the iPhone itself. Three sizes of silicone sleeves are included to ensure a comfortable fit, no matter what size ears you have.
		Motorola S9 Bluetooth Headphones - If your loved one is not an iPhone fan, they may have a cell phone that can work as an MP3 player and supports Bluetooth. If that's the case, the $99 Motorola S9 Bluetooth headphones might be a good pick; they can be used to listen to music from the cell phone without wires, and have controls built into the headband to control volume and playback. The unusual behind-the-ear design won't mess with hairstyles, and can be used while exercising. They can also double as a Bluetooth headset, so you can listen to music and answer calls, all with the cell phone inside a pocket or bag.
		Zen Stone MP3 player - Everyone and their dog has an iPod, but you don't want to carry an expensive gadget like that with you all the time. Especially in places like the gym, where one slip could see your precious iPod crushed beneath the heels of the sweaty stockbroker puffing away on the next treadmill. Small, 1 GB MP3 players like the $40 Zen Stone won't hold as much music as your iPod, but will hold enough to keep you occupied while you pump some iron. And the optional $9.99 skin with clip lets you attach the MP3 player firmly to your running shorts and protect it from sweaty splashes.
		Wi-Ex zBoost YX300 - If “Can you hear me now?” is greeted with a stony silence because you get lousy cell phone reception in your home or office, the zBoost YX300 can help. It's a $169 cellular repeater that boosts the signal it picks up on the separate antenna (which can be mounted on a window or outdoors, where you get a better signal) providing coverage indoors. It works on both GSM and CDMA cell phones, so it will work with most of the big cell phone networks in the U.S; the only exception is Nextel phones which use different frequencies.
		WiFi Detector T-Shirt - The modern geek gets kind of twitchy if they are out of touch for more than a few minutes. This $29.99 T-shirt can help; the removable decal on the front indicates the signal strength of nearby Wi-Fi networks, so they will know when to whip out the laptop and when to rely on the cell phone. It unfortunately doesn't indicate if the networks are open for use, or show you what the network is called, but a true geek should be able to figure that out in a few seconds.
		Mustek SoccerCam - You can combine a love of soccer with a love of photography with the Mustek SoccerCam, a digital camera shaped like a soccer ball. We doubt it would survive being kicked across the room, but this $35 camera might be the perfect pick for the soccer fan who likes to take snaps on or off the field. It shoots 2.1-megapixel images and short videos that can be copied to a PC or Mac, or displayed on any TV through the video output. It also doubles as a webcam; perfect for videoconferencing with other soccer fans while you're watching the match.
		Geeky Wrapping Paper - No gift is complete without the right paper to wrap it in. ThinkGeek has the answer; it offers geeky wrapping paper ($5.99 for four sheets) that's covered in emoticons (smileys, for the non-techie), binary (which spells out “wrapping paper” if your resident geek wants to decode it), or a non-denominational greeting of “'Have a Satisfactory, Non-denominational Capitalist, Wintertime Gift-giving Season!” That's a perfect way to wrap up the perfect tech gift.
