Let's make this the day that "@TechSaver" becomes a trending topic on Twitter. Who's with me?
1. You say you'd like a notebook, but you don't want to carry all that bulk? You'd prefer something under two-and-a-half pounds that saves room by not having an optical drive? I've got just the thing for you: it's called a "netbook." No one knows why it's called that, but you can use it for going on the Net. BestBuy.com has the Asus Eee PC 1005HAB netbook for $299, which is a good deal. This model has a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, a generous 160GB hard drive, a 10.1-inch display, and 802.11 b/g/n connectivity.
2. Way up north, Abe's of Maine has gotten a good deal on Kodak Zx1 HD video cameras, and he's passing the savings on to you. This camera comes in cherry red, which is awesome, and shoots 720p HD video. It's nicely compact, so you can always have it on hand when you need it. Grab one for $129.95 with free shipping, and save an additional $10 if you use the code "Dealnews10" at checkout.
3. If you're having trouble receiving digital TV signals, consider the Thomson ANT1500 indoor antenna. Buy.com has it for $28.93 with free shipping. It works with digital capable TVs or with digital converter boxes. I like the flat design, and the fact that it's easy to hide behind furniture.

Let the buyer beware that ASUS EeePC 1005HA-B that BestBuy sells for $299 is a stripped-down model and is different from the highly rated 1005HA-P model sold for $389 at places like Amazon. The 1005HA-B BestBuy model uses the Atom N270 CPU, includes a 3 cell battery and includes no Bluetooth whereas the 1005HA-P model uses Atom N280 CPU (faster FSB), has a 6 cell battery and Bluetooth 2.1.
One of the major advantages to the 1005HA model is the super long battery life that is possible with the 6 cell.
