These sites keep tabs on shiny gadgets, cool computers, sexy phones, and oddball peripherals.

All Things Digital
All Things Digital is the online brand extension of the D: All Things Digital conference, which in turn is a brand extension of Walt Mossberg's technology coverage for The Wall Street Journal. The site utilizes both text and video to dish on the hottest tech news, and alongside Mossberg's and Kara Swisher's blogging and reporting, industry experts and fresh voices contribute to the conversation.

Anything But iPod
Who wants to be a part of the Apple iPod's 80 percent market share? Certainly not the bloggers and readers of Anything But iPod, which tracks the market for non-Apple audio hardware, software, and accessories. Whether you're a fan of affordable SanDisk players, flexible Cowon devices, full-featured Archos PMPs, or the Microsoft Zune, ABi's got the news, rumors, and details.

Everything USB
Everything USB is a gadget blog dedicated to the one-wired-connection wonders that are USB computer peripherals. From keyboards to webcams and everything in between, the newest and coolest-not to mention weirdest-USB gizmos pass through here on their way to the market. Basically, if it connects to your computer, you'll read about it here, right down to the newest wave of wireless USB devices.

GoodCleanTech
With this brand-new resource brought to you by the editors and analysts of PC Magazine, consumers and techies should find it much easier to be green. The site's goal is to keep you apprised of all manner of environmentally conscientious technology in an illustrated, user-friendly format. Divided into categories ranging from "Apps and Web sites" to "Wind Energy," the articles assess not only the burgeoning crop of green-tech products now available but also the headline-grabbing R&D that could figure into your lifestyle tomorrow.

iLounge
A device as ubiquitous as the iPod deserves a site as comprehensive as iLounge. Industry news, hands-on product reviews, tips, tricks, downloads-everything you wanted to know about the iPod (and now the iPhone, as well) can be found on this site, which is every bit as user-friendly as the MP3 player that gave it its name.

Phone Scoop
Phone Scoop is an online resource for mobile phone users and enthusiasts, with an emphasis on news, reviews, and building a mobile-phone community. Launched in 2001 by Rich Brome, it continues to grow each year, with more in-depth coverage and videos. Don't miss the site's glossary to familiarize yourself with mobile terms such as CDMA and SIM.

TechMeme
We're not sure what kind of secret sauce Gabe Rivera uses to find stories for his TechMeme news aggregator (he simply says the site uses a "software agent"), but what we do know is that TechMeme brilliantly unearths the hottest news stories. It posts breaking tech news from around the Web and routinely beats sites such as Digg (as well as the major media) to the story.
