iPhone/Credit Card Case Combo: Love It or Leave It?
I'm digging the metallic blue hue on this iPhone case (it also comes in a number of other colors), but this particular case provides more than just protection to your mobile: it also holds your credit cards and cash! The Case-Mate iPhone Credit Card Case ($30) is great for when you're headed out for a night on the town and just want to take the necessities: phone, ID, and a few bucks for a cab. Not sure how I'd feel about toting around my credit cards out in the open like that all the time, but I guess when you have limited space in a tiny clutch, it could be a lifesaver.
Oh, Good. Another In-Flight Fire Hazard to Worry About
In-flight fires caused by gadgets are back in the news after a recent piece in the New York Times warned of yet another risk: fires caused by the rechargable lithium batteries in handheld credit-card machines used by flight attendants to ring up purchases. The Federal Aviation Administration considers the batteries hazardous, and requires special training for flight attendants on airlines who carry spare batteries (some airlines, like Delta and JetBlue, don't carry spare batteries at all).
No fires from the readers have been reported, but according to the same article, in the last two years, a portable DVD has caught fire on a plane, a flashlight placed in a storage compartment exploded, turning into a projectile, and eight people were injured when a battery fell against a metal seat frame and exploded.
Shop Tommy Hilfiger on Your iPhone
I love shopping, I love my iPhone, and I love any application that makes it easier for me to shop on my iPhone. Tommy Hilfiger just released an iPhone app making it unbelievably easy to shop for men, women, and children's clothes, right from your phone.
My favorite part is how closely you can zoom into an item to check it out.
Good Idea/Bad Idea: USB Card Swiper For Online Shopping
Online shopping just got a whole lot easier — or more dangerous, depending on your shopping self-control (personally, I identify a little too well with a certain fictional character).
The SmartSwipe USB Card Reader ($87) plugs into your computer's USB port, and from there, when you want to check out at an online store, you swipe your card, just like you'd do at a department store counter.
SmartSwipe's main selling point is in its security — but the fact that you don't have to key in your credit card number makes an online impulse purchase way too easy.
MP5-DS Docking Station Is Science Geek Chic, Half Off
I totally fell in love with the Sonic Integrity MP5-DS iPod docking station when I first saw it back in 2007, and now my friends, it's on sale. I loved the science behind the MP5, being that it's a tube amplifier system, which generally produces more rich and warm sounds than regular amp systems. Pack on a set of 50-watt speakers and you're ready to pump up the jams from an iPod dock that's kinda reminiscent of an old school science experiment.
Do You Buy Gadgets Because They Come With a Rebate?
Love a good deal? Canon has added a few amazing rebates on their DSLRs and lenses, and I automatically thought: I could use a new lens for my canon SLR.
Was I shopping for one?

Why are they recession approved?
Speak-er Speech Bubble Speakers Are Totally Hot
Can you hear me now? It's rare that I come across something that has me tossing all reasoning out the window, and immediately reaching for my credit card. When I first saw this pair of six-watt Speak-er speech bubble speakers ($120), I knew I had to have them.
