On Our Radar: Mulberry Collaborate with Apple

When I heard about this collaboration between Mulberry and Apple, it seemed so obvious that I couldn't believe it hadn't been done before. Mulberry are one of my favourite accessories brands and it definitely makes sense for them to offer items to protect your prized technological possesions. The British fashion brand have teamed up with Apple to offer cases for everything from your ipod to your laptop and they couldn't be more stylish. They have incorporate key styles from the current collection including prints to create a nine item capsule range.

The items are available now from selected Mulberry stores and will be available online from 1st December.

GeekSugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 03:50:51 -0700

Starting the beginning of December, the luxury English fashion line Mulberry will be debuting their new collection, which consists of nine pieces that are specifically designed for the MacBook and MacBook Pro. The collection also includes some mini cross-bags for the iPhone or iPod touch, with bags featuring Mulberry's signature icons like the Bayswater for women and the Brynmore for men.

The company's creative director, Emma Hill, had this to say about the collection:

"Mulberry have a legacy of craftsmanship and I'm thrilled to launch our first luxury collection for a whole host of Apple products including the MacBook, iPhone and iPod."

And just to jog your memory, Mulberry is the maker behind the drool-worthy $2000 laptop bag, so you can expect to pay anywhere between $250 and $1195 for these leather bags as well. Items can be found on Apple's website and Mulberry's website starting Dec. 1.

Lots More Apple Tablet News, but Do You Care?

GeekSugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 01:44:45 -0700

The mystery surrounding the Apple Tablet is hitting a fever pitch, and this time word is that Apple is shopping the yet-to-be-seen Tablet to Australian developers to gauge interest. In other news, you can now buy SIM card trays for a so-called iTablet online, but then again, a New York Times editor supposedly "spilled the beans" by calling it the Apple Slate in a recent speech. My head is spinning already!

I'm not ashamed to say that I'm a fan of Apple and its innovation, but I can't help but get the feeling that the more we talk about this product, the more we risk serious disappointment. Of course, there are those Mac fans that will buy whatever product Apple puts on the shelves, and are already making room on their desk for the Tablet.

For me though, I'll need to wait until the rumors become a reality before I start saving up for a new purchase. But it leaves me to wonder - are you totally enthralled in the minute-by-minute Apple Tablet news, or are you ready to ignore all the updates until a product is actually announced?

When Did You Get Your First iPod?

GeekSugar — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 15:44:35 -0700

Eight years ago today, Apple announced the first iPod - what you may recognize now as a 5G clunky gadget with a click wheel. The original iPod held 1,000 songs and weighed 6.5 ounces (current iPod classics hold 40,000 songs and weigh just under five ounces).

In the past eight years, the iPod has seen many changes - it's kind of unbelievable that now a tiny shuffle can hold nearly as much music as the original!

When did you get your first iPod? And how many have you had since?

Bobbing For Apples: 15 Apple-Inspired Nail Polishes

BellaSugar — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 04:00:53 -0700

With the H1N1 scare still fresh in our minds, I'm not sure many of us will be partaking in any activities involving saliva-swapping, like round after round of beer pong or a playful game of bobbing for apples. But since we're in the heart of apple harvesting season and Halloween is upon us, I figured there had to be another way to do the whole apple bobbing thing without transferring communicable disease. That's why I've gathered together different apple-colored polishes to pay tribute to this classic autumnal symbol. From red to trendy green to every finish in between, here are 15 polishes you might like.
