Designed for travelers who want to keep moving, this lightweight, clip-on gadget combines a pedometer with 3D motion analysis, heart-rate monitoring and a stopwatch with a 4GB MP3 player and FM radio. It’s compact and easy to attach to clothing, and it comes with earbuds and a USB cable for charging and data transfer.

LG Mobile Digital Television and DVD Player
More than a typical portable DVD player, this model receives mobile DTV signals so you can watch live television when you’re within range of a digital broadcast — ideal for long car rides or rail travel. The 7-inch display tilts for a comfortable viewing angle and folds closed in a clamshell design; when shut it measures roughly 9.5 by 6.5 inches, similar to a small hardback book. It plays DVDs and audio CDs, displays JPG photos and can play WMA files from a USB 2.0 stick. Two headphone jacks let you share audio, and the unit ships with AC and auto power adapters, a remote control and a removable battery that provides up to 4.5 hours of playback (approximately 2.5 hours in TV mode). $249.99.

Jorno Foldable Bluetooth Keyboard
This foldable Bluetooth keyboard converts an iPhone, iPad or Android device into a portable productivity station. The wireless connection lets you place the keyboard where it’s most comfortable, and the unit folds down to about the size of a deck of cards for easy storage in a pocket or bag. A detachable cradle holds your device in either portrait or landscape orientation. The keys are approximately 15 percent smaller than standard keys, yet the keyboard remains rigid when opened so you can type on your lap with confidence. $79. (Special pre-order price; available in early 2011.)
