One of Samsung's most popular handsets, the Instinct, will soon be coming to Best Buy — in the pink version. Sweet, right? The only catch is it will cost $599, which is insane in my opinion.
So it does have a touchscreen, a 2-megapixel digital camera, Bluetooth compatibility, and is stylin', but that doesn't explain the hefty price tag. The 8GB iPhone 3G is only $189 at Best Buy, so the math doesn't add up on this one. Just sayin'. Would you pay $599 for this phone?
By visiting 1000 Things That Matter, you are encouraged to leave a couple of sentences, or a video, or a picture, to express what matters to you. The blogger who started the project hopes to take the responses and create a short film about the future of telecommunication. Here's what he had to say about his latest venture:
If meaning is created through language then our society is created through its communications technology.
The film is intended to inspire and motivate people to do something that matters. So get busy and tell the world what matters to you!
I've made my predictions for what 2009 will bring, and even though it's the new year, I'm still looking back — on what I adopted in 2008. I converted to smartphones and the iPhone (two versions in two years) pre-'08, but this year I bought my first flat screen HDTV and a console for fun (the Wii) and a console for fun and Blu-ray (Playstation 3).
As TV faces the digital conversion, I saw a lot of people go big with this and get their first high def TVs. I saw (sometimes with my prodding) many of my friends and family became iPhone lovers for the first time. I saw switches from PCs to Macs and vice versa. So your turn — tell me, what tech did you adopt in 2008?
If these iPod Shuffle Charms serve no other purpose than for me to think they're adorable and think "squishy" in a baby voice, then they've totally succeeded.
At $4, you could get a few and attach them as charms to your cell phone or wherever, or just have them around, since the seller says they are meant for those who love kawaii, and kawaii they are indeed.
The sleighbells finally stopped jingling this week and we rang in the new year. Likewise, the tech world kept motoring right from 2008 to 2009 and I kept you up on it all; check out my slideshow for anything you may have missed!

On Wednesday eve, when most of you were probably ringing in the New Year with champagne and noisemakers, YouTube was showcasing 24 of their highest-rated and most memorable videos of 2008. If you've got some time to spare, it's quite entertaining to see the videos that made the cut. In the meantime, here are four of my favorite to hold you over!
