If you're pressed for time and can't seem to make it to the gym, here's a novel thought: Why not use your phone as a personal trainer? Wired is reporting that there's a new workout program called PumpOne that offers a line of workouts tailored to a variety of mobile devices, including the latest addition — the iPhone!
Aside from full videos that can be downloaded to your phone, PumpOne will also have image-only workout programs, as well as a text-message service that will send various exercises to your phone. Coming this Summer, you'll be able to get everything from pilates to yoga right on your phone. I can't wait to try it out, but I think the small screen may get a bit annoying.

Help geeksugar! I love my iPod and my shuffle and ideally would like to take them with me at all times. However, earbuds simply do not fit in my freakishly small ears. I have to work to get them in there, and when they do finally go in, they kind of hurt — most of the time they just pop right out. It's the standard Apple earbuds I've been trying, as I don't want to spend a lot of money on anything else to have them not fit. Do they make earbuds to fit tiny ears? Everyone else looks so content with their earbuds, and I'm pretty sure they aren't in pain! Any suggestions?

Microsoft may have missed the mark on their Parental Street Cred Videos, but we'll let it slide this time since they've just launched some great new services that are sure to make our lives a bit easier. Thanks to On 10, I've just learned that Microsoft has partnered with LinkedIn, Facebook, Bebo, Hi5 so users can easily import their Windows Live contacts into these sites. Utilizing Microsoft's Windows Live Contacts API, you can now go to sites like Bebo or Facebook and see all your friends — kinda like what Adium and Pidgin did for chat, except with social networking sites.
Not only that, but Microsoft has just introduced a new website called Invite2messenger where people can invite their friends from these "partner social networks" to join their Windows Live Messenger contact list.
OK Microsoft, I take back everything I said about your street cred videos!
