When Ben Franklin founded this column, it was called "Poor Richard's Reasonably-Priced Technological Enthusiasms." It told where to buy a lightening rod for only a nickel.
1. Usually I feature inexpensive HDTVs that cost at least $500, but this one goes for $105.99 (with free shipping) from Buy.com. That's because this Haier HLT71 LCD TV has a 7-inch screen and is portable. Put a TV anywhere you want one: on your treadmill, in the bathroom, or right next to the kitchen sink. It offers a sharp, clear picture and a compact remote.
2. Again with the inexpensive GPS navigators. If you have a car, but don't have a GPS yet, what are you waiting for? NewEgg.com is selling a recertified TomTom XL 330 for $109.99, with free shipping. But wait, you also get a $20 mail-in rebate, bringing the price down to $89.99. That's an outstanding price for a name brand navigator with a 4.3-inch screen.
3. Make your data portable with the Iomega Prestige Portable Hard Drive. You get 320GB of storage in an ultra-compact shape, all ready to pack in your bag. Buy.com has it for $69.99, with free shipping. I love that it doesn't require an external power supply, and it features Iomega's Drop Shock technology, making it extra-durable.
