Here's a little post-Christmas gift from Apple. That sleek and sexy smartphone that was once difficult to get your hands on? Well the iPhone 3G has landed in Wal-Mart stores across the country and is priced lower than anywhere else.
For $197 at Wal-Mart, you can pick up the 8GB iPhone 3G, or you can get the 16GB black or white model for $297. Currently, the iPhone is priced at $199 for the 8GB version and $299 for the 16GB model at the Apple Store, Best Buy and AT&T Stores. OK, so maybe that is only $2 in savings, but it's progress people and it's Wal-Mart; I never thought I'd see the day.
It's not every day we see this famous female with a cell phone — let alone a BlackBerry Bold! She's known to be a fashion trendsetter, so I'm not surprised she's got a handset that is just as hot as her designer wardrobe. Any idea who it is? Scroll down to leave a guess!
A new little invention called the Weather Man Forecaster Clock ($43) features weather forecast icons (sunny, cloudy, rainy) and a cute little weatherman guy that comes with 15 different outfits, so you know exactly what to expect when you walk outside. Other features include an alarm clock, sunrise and sunset times, and barometer pressure trends. It doesn't get any easier than that!
I don't know about you, but my iPhone is filled with pics — and don't even get me started on how many I've taken in the past week! Although I upload them onto my laptop, I often wish there was an easier way to print them up. Printing guru's Hewlett-Packard have just released a new iPhone app called HP iPrint Photo that works with your wireless network and printer to print up 4x6 photos directly from your iPhone or iPod Touch. The app is free and available from the iTunes Store.
Are you going to make me say it? Alright, twist my arm: It's also my favorite new gadget of the year. Because of it, I don't get lost, I know what movies are playing at any time, I can find out songs that are playing . . . the list goes on, people.
With 33 percent of the vote, it bested other splashy entries like the Wii Fit and the MacBook Air. Did this surprise you at all? Considering it only debuted six months ago, it's shaping up to be the year of the iPhone 3G.
2008 was a great year for movies, especially for me since tech is becoming more and more prominently featured. A number of the leading ladies in my favorite flicks from this year embraced their cell phone as the chic accessory that it is — or can be, when you pick the one that matches you. Check out my top cell phone addicted female characters of the year.
If my tutorial sideshow about what Lomo cameras are all about gave you a sudden interest in the retro cameras, now is a good time to get in on the action — Urban Outfitters has two new Lomos in shiny, shiny chrome.
Meanwhile, the Lomography Fisheye 2 Chrome Edition, on the right ($110), is plastic like the chrome Diana, but its rendering makes it look metal, doesn't it?
