It's a new season, so what better time to introduce five new products that are totally trendy, fully functional and are jam-packed with fabulous features! There's something for everyone, so be sure to check out my must haves list for the month of September!
No doubt, it may be torture some days to not be an iPhone or iPod Touch user and have to read about some cool new Chanel or Netflix app from iPhone's App Store when you're an avowed BlackBerry or Palm smartphone user. Windows Mobile may have its good points, but a cool feature like the App Store is not one of them. . . yet.
A lot of people don't like modern because it can be cold, but sometimes when it is that means it's really, really cool.
Such is the case with DWR's Aluminum Mouse Pad ($35), which is spare, striking and literally cold to the touch (except for the felt wrist rest, natch).
It may lack a certain patterned flair of say, a Marimekko mouse pad, but if you're edging away from using mouse pads because of their Office Space-type looks, then this version might work great for your own fabulous office space.
With the advent of Mad Men, people seem to be all over vintage lately, and for me, it's big for vintage geek. Of course, I've been a fan for longer than this show — and so has Hollywood. Check out my slideshow for some of the best vintage tech moments in TV and the movies in the last few years!
I was helping a friend investigate buying a new HDTV as her gadget guru, and we thought we'd found the perfect one: A 40-inch 1080p LCD flat screen by Samsung, which had just gone down in price to about $1,080 — and to sweeten the deal, there was a new $200 rebate (not surprising considering Samsung is rumored to be slashing prices to clear out old stock), bringing the total down to about $880.
My friend added the TV to her cart, had her credit card ready to go when I said "Wait!" and insisted she figure out what exactly the details of the rebate were, just in case. Turned out it was the right move: After downloading the $200 rebate to fill out and return, the rebate form revealed that it's not actually a $200 savings — it's a $200 gift certificate to "NFL Mounted Memories".
I called Amazon customer service to verify what I was thinking — that the total would still be $1,080 and this $200 rebate check would actually be a certificate for something I wasn't interested in. To hear what happened, just read more
I love me a mix tape (obvs), so imagine my excitement when I saw this old school style Ghetto Blaster Tote on Karmaloop. Not only is it totally vintage chic, but it's also affordable! For 45 bucks, you can rock this bag all the way downtown — and it actually works!
Yup, there's a pair of working speakers in this bad boy. Just plug in any MP3 player and proceed to pump up the volume! So, do you love it as much as I do?
