Great read and gadgets. My personal favourite is the space invaders bag.

@s video cable: If you guys want to try something a bit higher-end, but with much better image quality, and an insane zoom, try the Canon SX200IS. It has a 12x-15x zoom, shoots full HD videos, has super macro, and even though it's bulkier, it's totally worth it. The sensor is physically larger, so the images are cleaner. We get to play with a lot of cameras @ Eye-Fi, and this one is one of my favorite P&S's...

It’s a Canon, so the image quality is a given. Tons of examples on Flickr if you simply search for “canon SD960″ or “IXUS 110″. Colors are true, not highly sharpened, low chromatic aberration, and rich with detail. Do not, however, mistake this power of the DIGIC IV processor to be perfect and free of noise at high zoom or ISO above 400. Compared to its class, however, the results are just great for the price point.

Got this camera a month ago just before the Coachella festival, where I shot ~4GB worth of jpgs and ~2GB of video. I used max resolution for both and did not use the fully automatic modes and other gimmicks. Being an all day festival in the desert, I had plenty of opportunity to test the camera under harsh light, shadow, twilight and artificial lighting at night.

Video wise no complains; this is not a video camera and whatever you get out of it is a plus IMHO. I got usable footage of bands at night, with reasonable sound quality, and I suspect the image stabilization improved the shots, since I don’t have very steady hands.

@Mostly Lisa: I got turned onto the audio-technica after reading David Pogue's review. I'll quote him:

"It’s “Bose” without the marketing campaign." :-)

I agree with him — they really do sound great. My main gripe with the Bose is that they don't work when the battery runs out, and they do cost almost 2X……

@Ziv: That said, if someone wants to send me the Blackbox M14 ANR for review, I won't turn them down ;-)
