If you're on a long plane ride and want to watch video on your iPod or any other personal media player (PMP), a little easel would certainly be welcome to prop up that sucker on a tray table in front of you. The $15 EZL from ezGear does just that, keeping that PMP from sliding around with non-skid pads on the bottom, and when you're done, it folds up for into a thin package that's just a quarter-inch thick.

Sure, you could get a case for your iPod that also props it up a such as the Griffin Centerstage, but some of us don't want to spoil the clean design of the iPod with a clunky-looking case. Looks like this EZL might work with the PSP, too, but maybe stick out a bit on the top. Maybe they'll make a lower-profile model for widescreen players. Even better, maybe some innovative PMP maker will design a small retractable easel into the back of the player itself. – Charlie White
