1 MOTOROLA V70 ($400) Designed by style-forward geniuses in Milan, the four-inch-small V70 will draw envious stares when you swivel open the phone to take your call. And wait till they get a look at the glowing electro-luminescent keypad...
2 NUMARK DIGITAL MEDIA CONTROLLER-MP3 ($390) DJ'ing takes a step into the digital realm with this MP3 player that looks -- and works -- like a dual CD controller. It connects to any PC via a serial port and sports such features as beat-matching and looping. The mirror ball you have to buy yourself.
3 COLEMAN OUTRIDER RADIO ($49) During the day, this sleek 4-by-8-inch AM/FM radio runs on solar power. At night you can recharge the internal battery, or wind it up by hand to rock your campsite or backyard.
4 ELLULA HOTAIR SPEAKERS ($49.95) These nine-inch speakers won't deliver earth-shaking bass tones, but then most speakers won't deflate and fit inside a beach bag. And because the plastic shell works as a resonating surface, the sound is richer than you'd expect.
5 PANASONIC PV-VM202 DIGITAL PALMCORDER MULTICAM ($2,299.95) This one-megapixel mini-DV videocam fits snugly in your hand and splits in two to become a digital still camera only half as large. Both configurations take advantage of a super-sharp Leica lens and 2.5-inch color LCD monitor.
6 SONY CLIE PEG-NR70V ($599.99) The sleek Clie is called a ''Personal Entertainment Organizer'' for good reason: It packs a digital camera and MP3 player, while also functioning as an audio-video remote control. There's more: The color screen flips up and rotates 180 degrees to reveal a mini keyboard, which makes navigating the Palm OS even easier.
7 LINE 6 GUITARPORT ($170) Plug an electric guitar into your PC through this device and re-create the amp tones used by the Beatles, Nirvana, or even AC/DC. The software includes a built-in tuner, effects pedals, and tablature. Jimi Hendrix-like abilities not included.
8 SENNHEISER HD 497 ($69.95) Professional DJs opt for the sturdier (and at $119.95, way more expensive) HD 25SP model. But these lightweight silver headphones, which feature the company's ''supraural'' ear couplings and an impressive 24-22,000 Hz range, are optimized for portable MP3 and CD players -- in other words, everyone else.
