RE: OT: What to by on my first trip to the US ?

It depends on your 'needs'.  On my last trip I came back with 20kg of
DeWalt
tools, but then I'm building a house, so had an excuse ;-)

iPods and the like don't seem to work out much cheaper; you may save
15-20%,
but it's not a massive saving, particularly if you want to have a proper UK
charger, in which case the saving is diminished.  That said, the BOSE stuff
is a lot cheaper, even in the Apple Stores, so the iPod may be the
exception
to the rule.  Not sure on the PDAs & GPS; I do know that the GPS system
I
had in my last hire car was absolute crap, so I'm not sure if GPS is quite
as prevalent in the US as it is here.  If I was going back out there, I'd
buy some more Sonos gear, some speakers, and some more power tools, and a
big Samsonite bag to hide them all in*

everything is
in the same bag to allow for an easy import declaration, obviously I
wouldn't go through the green channel, ooh nooo.

I know this question does the rounds.

I've off to Vegas next week (Vmworld in case anyone here is into this thing
mail me offlist if you wish to chat)

Seems the thing to do is buy a gadget / console or two on the way back

Any suggestions on both what to buy and or where to buy.

At the mo, I'm thinking the normal things like mp3,divx player. Possible
GPS/ipaq type device.
