Apple iPod Touch
A portable media player that plays music and video on a touch screen, the iPod Touch connects to the Internet using Wi-Fi and can download applications without the monthly carrier fees incurred when using the iPhone.

Eye-Fi Share Video Card
A digital camera memory card with a built-in radio, this affordable gadget can send wireless videos and photos directly to a designated computer whenever it's in a Wi-Fi network specified by the user.
