...standard iPod is tough to beat, but at $250 Apple's 4-GB Mini is facing some serious competition. Virgin's new Player 5 GB ($250; virginelectronics.com has smart playlists, an FM tuner and twin headphone jacks.

Playing family therapist and coach, Jackson admits, was too much for him. So the Zen master will be taking off a year and then look for another spot in basketball--not necessarily coaching--to apply his philosophy. Kobe, free from criminal culpability and armed with a new contract, will be leading the Lakers without Shaq, who is now in Miami. It's Kobe's team now. Maybe he'll grow into...
