Believe it or not, my brother's nickname is D-LO (don't ask). So, when I found out about the DLO iBoom, I thought that not only would he get a kick out of this system's name, I'd consider it as an early holiday gift for him to complement his silver iPod mini.

While there are a bunch of iPod-compatible portable speaker systems out there, this one comes with extras like an FM tuner and look! A black nylon carrying case. So, not only will my brother get to breakdance to the hottest songs on the radio, he can bring the system with him wherever he feels like busting a move (most likely right outside my bedroom door to annoy me).

And with the iBoom's two tweeters and two woofers, you'll get a total of 20 watts per channel, which isn't wall-shaking power, but it's still pretty loud.

The system is priced at just $99, so that makes my wallet happy when it comes to budgeting for holiday shopping.
