iPod for TV Junkies: Apple's latest iPod plays video on a good 2.5-inch, 320-by-240-pixel color LCD. Now, for $2 each, iPod users can download select ABC TV shows, any of 2000 music videos, or Pixar animated shorts from Apple's iTunes store. The new models come in 30GB ($299) and 60GB ($399) versions. You can use Apple's $30 QuickTime Pro 7 to transfer non-copy-protected material to the iPods. For $19, you can get the right AV cable to show iPod content on a PC or TV.

Palm Returns: The Palm brand is back, in two new PDAs. The $299 Palm TX boasts built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, a 320-by-480 active-matrix color screen, a 312-MHz Intel Bulverde CPU, and 128MB of flash memory. It also has software for editing Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files; for Web browsing; and for playing MP3s. The entry-level $99 Z22 model gives users a 160-by-160 color display and 32MB of memory, plus a USB port that can recharge the device via an AC adapter and connect to a PC to sync data.
