Closer Look: Fake Korean Shuffle Returns
When I first shared a sneak peek at this faux shuffle that a friend of mine found in Korea most of you were mesmerized by its octagonal navigation and suspiciously familiar body shape and color. Some of you even wondered if the packaging for the fake shuffle was anything like the real Apple packaging. I was able to get my mittens on some additional pictures and the verdict is in: The creators of this noteworthy knock off may have focused on making the iClip.Se MP3 look just like the shuffle, but they went for more modern, iPhone-inspired packaging.
Closer Look: United States Of Lego
I may be a grown up, but I still can't stop talking about Legos. As part of the World Children's Festival, hordes of kids recently showed up at a giant Washington, D.C. playground with thousands of mini building blocks.
Closer Look: Webble Foot Rest
Last week I gave you a little teaser of the Webble, which is a new kind of foot rest that isn't about resting at all. I finally found some more photos and learned that unlike most foot rests that are designed to create a more ergonomic desk set up, the Webble is all about motion and activity and hopes to keep even the most anxious geeks entertained and on the move while at their desks.
According to the designer's website, the Weeble's ultra smooth gliding motion gets your legs moving while you work.

Closer Look: Samsung's New Crystal USB Audio Player
I finally got the chance to get an up-close and personal look at Samsung's latest mp3 player, the crystal U3 USB digital audio player. While looks can sometimes be deceiving, I kid you not when I say this player is extremely small. The ultra slim U3 is literally a USB flash drive turned music player as the USB stick pops out so you can directly insert it into your laptop.
Closer Look: Sheilas' Heels
Everybody's been talking about a new footwear design concept that hopes to make women safer and more comfortable behind the wheel without compromising their love of heels. The idea sprang from a British insurance company Sheila's Wheels, which claims to specialize in women's insurance. Their idea is a safe, flat driving shoe and a glamorous pair of heels in one - all interchangeable at a push of a button.
Closer Look: Porsche Phone
With this week's news that all LG Prada phones will get free insurance I started thinking about those designer phones and when the line between regular, but functional phones and luxurious brand-name driven models will be drawn. As we know from the Vertu Ferrari phone that line clearly won't be drawn by car companies. Porsche has upped the market with the concept drawings for a Porsche P'9521 Phone, which makes the unlicensed Porsche Cayenne phone we saw a few months ago look just plain silly.
