Normally a pillow isn’t worthy of gadget coverage, but this is a pretty interesting pillow.  I’m a face-down sleeper myself, so getting comfortable on the beach or outdoors is kind of hard for me to do.  You can’t get a tan if you’re face-down on your arms, right?

I also tend to carry around a lot of gadgets.  Cell phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses… I’m not comfortable if I don’t have all that stuff with me at the very least, and I generally also carry around a USB thumb drive (because for some reason I think I’ll need 4gbs of storage on the go).  It’s a lot of stuff.  Men can’t carry purses in the US, and there’s only so much stuff you can put in your shoes and swimming trunks, so you need a decent place to store your gadgetry. 

That’s what makes the PODillow such a cool idea.  Not only does it protect your gear from sand and sun and water, you can also get a better tan without even turning off your iPod (there’s a headphone wire slot leading out of the pillow).  There’s a deal on shipping, and you’ve got another 30 days of warmth to take advantage of, so if you’re interested, check out the official PODillow website.
