Reid Hoffman's holiday picks for the husband
Treo 650
I have many contacts to keep up with--this means many external meetings and little time at the office. I need a Treo so that I can stop carrying three different devices around for phone calls, messaging, and my calendar.
Garmin GPS Map 60CS
My wife tells me not finding my way to a restaurant is no longer an acceptable excuse for being late for a dinner out. To keep the home life in harmony, I hope someone will give me this extremely mobile GPS receiver soon.
Apple iPod Mini
My friends all know I love music, but only my good friends know that I care about design, colors, and aesthetics when choosing products. I want an iPod Mini so that I don't have to listen to my classical collection exclusively at home.
