The Slacker Portable Music Player is hoping to take what you love about all other digital music players
and make it better. Their new device comes with a 4 inch color screen with capacity of 2GB to an expected 12GB. What makes this device different is it is Wi-Fi enabled allowing the device to actually download music automatically based on your interests. You will be able to rate the new tunes and help the device learn more about your musical interests. Another interesting feature is that the device will offer two types of service plans that will allow you access to the Slacker music network. If you don’t mind some banner ads showing on the device you can opt for free access or pay just $7.50 per month to drop the ads. This is the device for people that don’t want to go shopping, hook their player up, and worry about updates. This device does it all for you through the Wi-Fi connection. Check out their site to learn more and test out their radio network for free at Slacker.com.

Ever wanted to feel like a spy that can control the world with their phone? Well if you own a Sony Ericsson cell phone with bluetooth you can have some of the power. The Fossil Caller ID Watch uses bluetooth technology to alert you of incoming calls, text messages, shows you the name and number of the call, and gives you he ability to forward the call straight to voicemail. No more digging through your pockets to get you phone out just to find out you don’t want to take a call. Save yourself the time and hassle and just look at your wrist and make a fast decision. You can receive a call while in a meeting and just glance at your watch - don’t look bored thought because presenters usually take that as an insult.
Fossil makes some nice watches at reasonable prices and if they are able to make future models compatible with more than just Sony Ericsson phones they might have a winner on their hands. It is still a sweet little toy if you are in the market for a new watch why not get one that does some cool stuff?

Is the iRiver s10 the answer to the new iPod Shuffle? I doubt it will ever overtake the juggernaut that is Apple, but the s10 does pack an impressive punch in a little body. The s10 has a large 2GB capacity and can support up to 8 hours of use on one charge. That is enough battery life to run a couple of marathons or if you are me to watch a marathon followed by ladies tennis. What does the s10 have that the shuffle doesn’t you ask? It has a small color screen that can be used to view a picture if needed, let you see the song currently playing, and it has a built in FM tuner. This device might be just the thing to pick up if you are anti-Apple and still want to be on the cutting edge of cool techie devices.

- 17.5g, ultra light player

This post is for all the men and women that hit the weights at the gym and have developed nasty calluses that just don’t go with their trendy gadgets. You have all been there at least once in your life. You decide to get into shape and before you know it your hands are sore, chapped, or have developed nasty hard rough calluses that your significant other just complains about. Plus holding onto a small
iPod or cell phone is hard to do when your hands hurt because you didn’t pimp yourself out for the gym. I have used padded gloves in the past, but I always found that I would sweat with them, they were not easy to get off after during a workout, and they always tended to tear apart at the seems. I picked up a pair of Gorilla Grips 2 years ago and haven’t looked back since. The provide a great addition to your grip without letting you cheat like some gloves, they are completely breathable, and they are easy on and off. You can only get them online from the company site and part of the proceeds go to benefit African Gorillas. If you are looking for something unique and different set the trend at your gym with a pair of these!

Samsung’s dual sided smart phone that combines the ease of a typical cell and the power of an MP3 might actually give the iPhone a run for its money. The UpStage, sold through Sprint, actually has two functional sides. One side being your standard looking cell phone keypad and the other contains a large color screen with music controls. The price point for the device, with rebates, comes in at under $100 compared to the possible $400
iPhone prices. As an added bonus Sprint is offering a free 1GB mobile memory card with the purchase of an UpStage and new voice activation.

The much hyped XBOX 360 Elite with its 120GB detachable hard drive and HDMI output will officially go on sale this Sunday, April
29th. Some stores already have their shelves, but it is just a big tease as you cannot purchase the new unit. The Elite is an all black unit with all black accessories and is supposed to be produced in limited quantities so expect it to sell out quickly and become hard to find after the initial shipment. Rumor has it all future XBOX 360 Premium models will also be all black, but will not carry the Elite moniker. This new unit is also supposed to run a bit cooler than the original 360 which has had some over heating problems and required many owners to pick up an additional cooling unit to avoid overheating.
Xbox 360™ Elite is the newest addition to the Xbox family that includes a huge 120GB hard drive (the largest available for any gaming console), a high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) cable, and a premium black finish. The Xbox 360 Elite also includes a black wireless controller and black Xbox LIVE® headset.

The Archos 704 WiFi Multemedia Player gives you the ability to surf the web, stream video from PC to TV, and a hard drive big enough to hold 70 DVD movies.

The battery is rechargeable and removable so feel free to keep a spare on hand for long flights so you never have to pretend to watch the in flight movie. You have the ability to record live TV, but it will require and additional dock that will run you $100. The overall pros of the device outweigh the cons since the TV recording is probably not required by
most that already have a Tivo or TV tuner in your computer. The WiFi feature makes this a true wireless media center!
- 80GB to store 70 DVD quality movies
- 7″ high resolution touch screen
- Wireless Internet and video streaming from PC to TV capabilities

If you truly want to be a pimp and you have $40,000 or so burning a hole in your pocket you should look into the Vertu Signature line of cell phones. Vertu creates high end phones with high end prices
that will make you stand out in a crowd. The Vertu Signature Diamond Phone pictured has 700 hand set diamonds, a solid gold body, and a button that will connect you to your very own concierge service. If you aren’t a fan of this look they have other models that fit any super rich lifestyle.

I must admit that a hand vac isn’t something that makes you jump out of your chair, but the Dyson Root 6 is impressive. I picked this up over the weekend because I was tired of having to
pull out the vacuum cleaner to get the cat hair off the vents in every electronic device in my house. Not only does the Dyson get everything from around the device it will even pull the hair and dust from under them. It looks cool and does the job better than anything I have used before. If you have electronics you know how important it is to keep them as dust free as possible and the Dyson is worth the investment.
- Twice the suction of others in use
Powerful constant suction.
- Root Cyclone™ technology
Advanced Dyson cyclone technology.
- Re-charges up to 3x faster
21.6 volts lithium ion battery technology.
- Hygienic and quick to empty
One-touch emptying so no need to touch the dirt.
