I’m mentioning something that I mentioned on MacGenealogy.org yesterday, The new iPod nano that came this week - it has a capacity of 1GB and retails for $149. The selling point for a genealogist is that it holds up to 15,000 photos (and it can display them on the built-in color display - not a big deal, or on a TV screen, which is a big deal).

In addition to using your iPod for showing family home movies or recording interviews using one of the microphone attachments, there are several applications that allow you to store lots of useful information in text format (including genealogy records and information). The only drawback is formatting your genealogy information, but many genealogy applications allow you to export to various text formats/layouts, so it shouldn’t be a problem finding a useful layout.
