If you think paying a dollar-and-a-half to see all the trees in a tree museum is still too expensive, you might be a cheap geek.
1. A $60 GPS? Here I thought $100 was a super-cheap price for a navigator from a major name, and then a $60 one appears. RadioShack is selling refurbished TomTom One 130 navigators for $59.99 after rebate. The One 130 has some nice extras, such as the ability to download map changes from other users when you connect it to your computer. This is the lowest price I’ve seen on a big-name GPS, so grab one while they’re available.
2. Buy.com has a Coby 1GB music player for $28.95, including shipping. I wouldn’t want to use it for my main music player, but if you’re looking for a lightweight player for working out or to take to the beach, it could be useful to have on hand. It plays MP3 and WMA files.
3. Speaking of portables, getting XM satellite radio on-the-go has never been so cheap. Amazon is selling the Samsung YP-X5X NeXus for $29.95 through its partner retailers. It plays not only XM but can also record up to 25 hours of content, and you can use it to play MP3 and WMA files from your music library.
