...barometer of where the D.R. is headed: the upcoming trial of the six alleged masterminds of the so-called BANINTER (Banco Intercontinental) scandal, in which $2.5 billion was looted. For the first time, scions of some of the most élite families will be in the dock. It's a case expected to go to the D.R. Supreme Court, which has been the focus of recent U.S. efforts at judicial reform. The trial may be just as symbolic of the Dominican Republic's future as the new subway is.

...Digital Lifestyle Outfitters HomeDock www.dlo.com; $100): Our last pick also has a small remote, but the dock itself has a slot for it, making it a little less easy to misplace. The dock is for people who already have an audio or home-theater setup they like, and just want a way to patch in their iPod. It connects to a receiver or TV using standard audio and video plugs; the video connector not only plays slideshows of pictures you have stored up, but even delivers brand new iTunes video content (if you have the newest iPod).It's also...
