1) Apple iPod 5G (Video)
It’s the hot gadget of the moment and the one which dominates portable electronics headlines. The fifth generation iPod, if your Dad doesn’t already have one, will definitely be in the back of his mind. It can play all of his favorite music, let him purchase and download videos of his favorite TV shows and let him carry around thousands of his more precious digital photos. It comes in stylish black and white colors, has two different size hard drives and an easy to navigate on-screen interface.

If your Dad likes most of the iPod 5G’s features but wants something slimmer to slip into his pocket, consider the iPod nano – a great companion for the gym. This tiny titan can play up to 14 hours of music on a single battery charge, comes in black and white colors and offers three storage sizes to hold up to 1,000 songs as well as thousands of digital images. It has a click wheel like its big sibling for easy on-screen navigation and song selection and weighs a mere 1.5 ounces.

3) Creative Zen Vision:M
If an Apple iPod is not in your Dad’s sights but he still wants a cool portable media player, the Creative Zen Vision:M might be his thing. This portable pockethouse, like the iPod 5G, can play music and videos as well as allowing Dad the ability to view his favorite digital images. The Zen Vision:M comes in five color choices and can store up to 15,000 songs or 120 hours of video.
