Hi,
My brother's birthday is coming. I was thinking in buying him an iSight but I'm not fully convinced. My budget is limited to $200 max.
He is got a G5 20" iMac and 20 Gb iPod. Do you have any ideas of electronic gadgets like cameras, PDAs or anything cool bellow my budget that could potentially be a good idea?
I appreciate it a lot.
Have a nice day.

iPod shuffle. Small digital camera. Accessory for the iPod. Ram for the iMac if he needs it. iTMS gift card. Trackball/mouse. .Mac membership.

Right now I may have changed my approach completely...he is a professional sailor and may be a Leatherman multi-use knife could be a good idea....but keep them coming

What's your budget? How on earth would we know if our suggestion was below it?
Suggestion:
$50.00 iTunes gift card. He's got the computer and the iPod, now help him fill that thing up with music.

Maybe by actually reading his post.  He said, quite clearly, $200 max.
Once more for good measure ...

Yep, $200 max (i could go a bit further if really a very good idea).
He's got plenty of RAM in his iMac (1.25 Gb), not really a music fanatic....what about the Sony PSP?

Oops. Sorry about that, it was at the end of a line for me, and I missed it.
OK!
$200.00 (Let's spend some money!)
$50.00 iTunes Gift Card
$50.00 Cologne
$50.00 Movie Ticket Gift Card
$50.00 Restaraunt Gift Card
DONE.

Just a bit over your budget ($249) and he would have to buy the games/movies for it. But if you can swing it, go for it!

Your brother could kill you or the puppy? Bullmastiff's are very very gentle dogs as long as they don't lay on you...
ort888 you sicko. (Does it come in a brown plain package?)....
The reason I recommended the Gift Cards and Cologne was so he culd get a REAL girlfriend you dork.

I second that -- the PSP is a nice gift. If you must stick to your budget, you could get the DS too -- with a $40 game, that would still come in under budget. I suggest Kirby's Canvas Curse or Super Mario DS for the accompanying game.
BTW: Please, PSP vs. DS people, don't flame me -- I'm just sayin', it's in the budget and it's a nice gift.

I would be the one death.
trust me, the guys does not need much help with the ladies, he gets good looking volunteers in any port, so that device suggested by ort888 is not needed (although you never know
