GeekSugar — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 13:15:34 -0800

Not too long ago, we saw this famous female with a black BlackBerry Bold, and now she seems to have upgraded to a white one! It certainly suits her unique sense of style, and I personally prefer the white one as well - it's just sassier! Have you figured out who it is? Scroll down to take a guess!

That being said, snowy white gadgets are sleek, modern, and oh-so-hip. Just ask all the people who picked the white iPhone over black or original.

Have No Fear: White Plastic MacBooks Not Going Anywhere

GeekSugar — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 01:45:02 -0700

With the MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air all starting to use the same design - aluminum exterior with edge-to-edge black glass, there was a certain amount of fear the white plastic MacBooks were going to be discontinued.

I certainly thought it was only a matter of time, but Apple Insider has assuaged all our fears and reports that Apple is going to keep the white polycarbonate design and refresh them soon to boot, according to a source.

The $999-priced 13-inch laptops are doing exceptionally well in sales, and I love its look, even if it doesn't "match" the rest of its brethren. Perhaps a face-lift will give it a tiny shift toward looking similar (but like I said, tiny). Now if only they'd do the same for the BlackBook.

Pentax Debuts a Winter White SLR

GeekSugar — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 06:00:00 -0800

It's beginning to look a lot Christmas in the tech-world, what with the profusion of white gadgets giving way to this, Pentax's White SLR.

The K2000 is going to be limited edition, clearly, and there's no pricing available yet, but CNET notes that the non-white version of this camera is about $800.

The only thing I don't really like is the black detailing, but I think I could live with that just to rock something so unusual. What do you think?

Jenny's New Cell Phone on Gossip Girl: HTC-tastic

GeekSugar — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 09:00:47 -0700

Since it looks like pretty much every single character on Gossip Girl got a new cell phone for Season Two, I thought some of you might be curious about what your favorite Upper East Siders are carrying since you've been back into this season's tech quizzes! Last week I told you Blair had a new maroon eNV2, and this week my gaze is fixed on the budding couturier, Jenny Humphrey.

Jenny used to have a pink RAZR - which I think fit her really well - but it looks like she's picking up some tech fashion steam with her internship. Not only has Jenny upgraded, but she's gone with the handset maker of the moment: HTC! HTC, you'll recall, is the maker of Google's new Android phone, the G1, and though Jenny couldn't get that (girlfriend's on Verizon), she went with the same color we usually see the G1 in: White. I myself am a huge fan of white cell phones and gadgets, and particularly this phone: The HTC Touch.

Available on Verizon for $200 after discounts, the Touch is a smartphone with a touch screen, music player, QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth, and you get access to an application store.

White Hot! The Best White Gadgets

GeekSugar — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 09:00:38 -0700

Trends in gadget colors have always turned toward the basic - unfortunate beiges and grays plagued computers and video game consoles, with black being the king for a long time, but now white is being ushered in. Though it's as basic as the aforementioned neutrals, it's anything but boring. Its cleanliness looks fresh and pretty and more fitting for some interiors. Check out my slideshow for the hottest in blanc: white gadgets.
