MOVE OVER, MINI
The standard iPod is tough to beat, but at $250 Apple's 4-GB Mini is facing some serious competition. Virgin's new Player 5 GB ($250; virginelectronics.com has smart playlists, an FM tuner and twin headphone jacks. Creative's 5-GB Zen Micro ($280; creative.com) with its radical touch-pad face, comes in 10 colors, twice as many as the Mini. The 5-GB Dell Pocket DJ ($200; dell.com may have fewer frills, but it also costs fewer dollars.
Roku M1000 SoundBridge
Want to stream music from a PC to a stereo system anywhere in the house? This device requires some nerd skills during setup. But it's worth it.
