I'll admit it, I have a thing for hedgehogs. Maybe it's remnants of my childhood love for Sonic the Hedgehog, or maybe it's just the fact that they are so cute, but I tend to gush whenever I see them. These Hedgehog cell phone cozies from Etsy are no exception. They were designed to "eat" i-Pods, cameras, cosmetics and even gum, and are made out of a Japanese-style handmade fabric "Sakiori." They cost $42 and come in a variety of patterns.
With the Duffster's signature fashion sense, most of you were able to guess last week's match up—nice work! This one might be a dead giveaway as well, although this famous female likes adding some variety and flair to her wardrobe. Can you spot the BlackBerry hiding under her hand? I wonder where all the iPhones are? BlackBerries definitely seem to be the phone of choice these days. Do you know who it is? Leave your guess below!
Hello Kitty makes her return with the Okwap C150T mobile phone which surprisingly boasts some incredible features. This GSM handset not only comes with a built-in media player but a ton of Hello Kitty themes and backgrounds as well. Featured on GeekAlerts, the C150T also includes a two-megapixel camera, unlike the Beyonce phone which only has a 1.3-megapixel camera. For all of you HK fans, you'll have to go to Taiwan to get one of these phones. No word on pricing just yet. It kinda reminds me of a decked out Sony Ericsson with Hello Kitty decals.
I remember when I first started using MapQuest years ago. Being able to type in an origin and destination and receive directions always amazed me. I especially loved not having to configure my own route on a traditional paper map. Then came the release of Google Maps, a much more advanced web mapping service application than MapQuest. According to The Boy Genius Report, MapQuest has just unveiled a new beta version of their mapping software to compete with Google Maps. The beta version now comes with a saved and recent searches window, an option to add multiple stops, expanding side bars and more. Sorry, no cool street view fun.
I thought I had seen all shapes and sizes of iPod speakers until I ran into the Podblaster. It's a portable retro iPod speaker setup that looks like a cross between an old school boombox or ghetto blaster and the small Griffin Journi Speaker. It comes in black, a faux wood pattern and green and costs $40. It has a pocket for your MP3 player and a magnetic flap that allows easy access to the controls. Works with iPod, Zune and other MP3 players. Do you love it?

Do you sing in the shower? You might want to pick up a Moon Light Shower Radio. It's pretty magical.
Apparently the RAZR2 isn't the only hot new phone from Motorola. The company has revealed the MOTO U9, which aims to make music a "multi-sensory experience and lets consumers rock out and look good." The phone features Stereo Bluetooth, CrystalTalk Technology, external touch sensitive music controls and animated screensavers that appear on the external display. Like the iPhone the MOTO U9 allows one-touch access to your library and pauses music as calls come through. I like the shape and the function ain't bad either. Pricing details have not been announced.
