Special: Book(Book) 'Em!

Looking for a gift for a professional who never goes anywhere without their iPad 2? Or, are you or someone on your list a fan of neutrals like winter white, which are almost always on trend? We think the *Apple Leather Smart Cover in Cream* is a handsome complement to the iPad 2–both black and white.

Our purchaser Lucie says the Cream Smart Cover is reminiscent of eggnog–perfect for the holidays. This week Kibbles & Bytes readers will receive $10 off this cover when you order and use coupon code *kbnog* in the cart. Click the link below to snag yours!

Everyone seems to have an opinion on Siri these days, from fanboys and girls to those who find the whole concept a little too sci-fi. (Kudos to you if you’re reading this thinking, “Siri who?”)

Among those who use Siri on their iPhone 4Ss, there has been no shortage of Siri “experiments,” wherein the user tries to see how much she/he (or as Apple often says, “it”) really understands. Written commentary and YouTube videos range from the informative and productive to the smarmy and ridiculous.

Last week, Adam Engst over at TidBits wrote a great response to the phenomenon that’s taken on a life of its own (kind of fitting, huh?). “*Check it out here.*”:http://tidbits.com/article/12653

__Over the next few weeks, we’ll be featuring gift ideas from Small Dog staff members here and on our “*blog*”:http://blog.smalldog.com/. Stop by often to see what we think would make great gifts this year!__

“*Chill Pill Mobile Speakers*”:http://www.smalldog.com/search/?find=chill+pill+mobile+speakers: “Great speakers for anyone who has music on their cell phone or iPad. Works with any device that has an industry standard 1/8 inch audio jack.” –Rob Amon

“*Apple Magic Trackpad*”:http://www.smalldog.com/product/76695/apple-magic-trackpad/at_kb: “I don’t understand how I don’t own this yet!” –Rebecca Kraemer

“*Kogeto DOT 360 Degree Video Recorder for iPhone 4/4S*”:http://www.smalldog.com/search/?find=kogeto: “The DOT from Kogeto is an amazing little device. It snaps right onto the back of your iPhone 4/4S and allows you to shoot full 360° panoramic interactive video. This incredible tool is good for anyone who wants to have full panoramic technology from their iPhone. The Looker app is the software that runs the camera and processes the video. This is available for free in the App Store.” –Taylor Amon

“*Audioengine A5+ Speaker System*”:http://www.smalldog.com/product/79290/at_kb: “Awesome sound, great looks.” –Hapy Mayer

“*Twelve South PlugBug*”:http://www.smalldog.com/product/79574/twelve-south-plugbug-10w-usb-ipad-iphone-charger-w-macbook-charger-attachment/at_kb: “Perfect for the Apple fanatic who has it all. Now they’ll be carrying one fewer charger. Simply attach the PlugBug to a MagSafe adapter and voila, they can now charge their MacBook Pro/Air alongside their iPhone/iPad/iPod off a single MagSafe adapter.” –Will Frascella

“*LoJack for Laptops*”:http://www.smalldog.com/product/77280/at_kb: “This is a great idea to give as a gift to anyone who has a laptop. Or if you are getting someone a laptop as a gift, this is a great companion product for it. If you happen to have the bad luck of having your laptop stolen, you really up your chances for having it returned when you use LoJack for laptops. You can figure out where your laptop is being used and even receive pictures via email of whoever is using the machine. It is a great price for the service that they offer.” –Jim Overman

Over the past few months, we’ve featured Edifier’s line of speakers both in this newsletter and our monthly retail newsletter “*Best in Showroom*”:http://blog.smalldog.com/bestinshow as well as on our blog “*Barkings!*”:http://blog.smalldog.com/ Clearly we’re big fans–we even use the Prisma every day in our Waitsfield, VT retail store.

Edifier speakers are currently available for $10 off the regular price in our three retail locations, and we’re excited to announce that “*the entire Edifier line*”:http://www.smalldog.com/mfg/?MfrName=Edifier is available online for $10 off through the end of the month online as well. You’ll see the discounted price when you add items to the shopping cart.

Edifier makes a variety of speaker systems for use with desktop or laptop computers, and they’ve recently introduced a retro-styled alarm clock compatible with iPod and iPhone.

The *iPod classic* is a favorite of many Small Dog employees, not only because of its massive capacity (160GB=approximately 40,000 songs, 200 hours of video or 25,000 photos–or a healthy combination of all three) but also because it is reminiscent of the original iPod. Hence the name.

We think the old-school aesthetic of the *Sony MDR-110LP Open-Air Over-The-Head Headphones* are a great match for the iPod classic. And they sound great, too!

This week only, Kibbles & Bytes readers save $30 on Sony’s MDR-110LP Headphones, originally $35.99–that’s an additional $5 off the already-discounted price–when you order them with a silver or black iPod classic!

*iPod classic + Sony MDR-110LP Headphones–$255.99 + $4.99 shipping.*

My granddaughter, Khadija, is in a play and sings and acts. She is a talented kid who is getting straight As and is very into the arts. She performs with the Jeh Kulu dance and drum company, plays the slide trombone and now is an actress, too. It will be fun to go see her in the play this weekend.

I hope you have an awesome weekend! Thank you for reading this issue of Kibbles & Bytes!

Your Kibbles & Bytes team,
