I literally “WHOA”-ed when I saw this Swarovski studded Hello Kitty MP3 Player. A Hello Kitty-shaped MP3 is already eye-catching as it is, but if you cover it with shiny, sparkly gems, that’s like geek gadget heaven! My geeky little heart can only take so much!
Don’t you just want to touch it? It’s soooo sparkly!
Launched by Mouse Computer Japan, this Hello Kitty Crystal music player comes with a 2GB built-in memory. Storage-wise not that really impressive, but since it’s studded with around 300 Swarovski crystals, who really cares?!
Hello Kitty Crystal Specifications:

Has 5 EQ presets: Normal, Classical Jazz, Pop and Rock

I used to scoff at the idea of an iPhone or iPod Touch stand. You know my stand on watching videos using an iPhone or an iPod Touch. I’m not a big fan. I believe it’s eye torture, haha.
BUT, I guess they have their use, too. And there’s a market for iPhone or iPod Touch stands. Like for example, I wouldn’t mind having an iBend last three weeks ago when my laptop was in the Mac hospital. The iPod Touch was practically my connection to cyberspace! Email, surfing, watching videos, you name it. And I have to admit, if you …read more

So the rumors are TRUE. Ok, I’m going to go straight to the point before I start losing my train of thoughts.
Call me stupid, but I assume that this iPod Nano can only take videos and not photos, right? I’ve tried clicking all over the Apple website and there’s absolutely no info about it being able to take still photos.
That’s so weird! Seriously, my mind is boggled. B-O-G-G-L-E-D!
I always assumed that video capabilities and still photos go hand in hand in this time of age and era. If this iPod Nano came out like 5 years ago, I can still …read more

You know, out of all the iPod designs, I like the 3rd generation Nano the best. The 3rd gen iPod Nano is the square one, if you’re not familiar with the generations. The new iPod Nanos now look like a tiny remote control, if you ask me. Hehe.
Anyway, here’s a cute and unique 3rd gen iPod nano accessory, the nanoTV! It’s perfect for those who love to watch videos on their iPod Nanos (tho I’m not sure if there’s still anyone out there who actually owns a 3rd gen Nano…)
The nanoTV is basically a little adapter/container that turns your 3rd …read more

Looks like everyone is talking about Microsoft’s Zune HD coming this September 15th! Just a couple of more days away!
To be honest, I’m really not an expert on the Zune HD or any Zune models for that matter. I’m more of an iPod kind of girl, if you haven’t noticed or guessed by now.
But since every tech blog out there seems to be talking about the coming Zune HD, my curiosity’s been piqued! Why the heck is everyone going gaga over this Zune HD anyway?
Zune HD Features:

Built-in HD radio receiver
HD video output capabilities
OLED touch screen
Built-in WiFi
Internet browser

The Zune HD will …read more

Probably the tiniest MP3 player I’ve ever seen, the iMuz MX1 MP3 player. iMuz is a Korean brand, so I’m not sure if we’ll ever see this in other countries.

2GB/4GB built-in memory
Five (5) preset EQ sounds

Voice recorder
E-book

Wow, huh? Though I don’t really find it logical to watch a video, or a read an ebook from a screen THAT tiny. Torture for the …read more

The netbook that Vivienne Tam designed for HP was gorgeous, so I’m not suprised that this MP3 player concept design is as equally gorgeous as well.
BUT before you guys run out of your house with the intention of grabbing one of these babies, let me remind you that this is STILL a concept product and is not yet available in the market, ok? Mmmm, kay!
Obviously this MP3 player is designed for Vivienne Tam’s VIP customer. By just looking at the rich and expensive-looking design, you can very well guess that this MP3 player will probably have a price tag that …read more

I keep on seeing reviews and news about Sony’s latest Walkmans (Walkmen?) all over the internet, but I don’t really know anyone who owns one. Most of my friends own an iPod. I, myself, own an iPod, hehe.
I think Sony Walkmans are popular in Japan though… *musing*
Personally, I think the reason why Sony Walkmans aren’t popular is because of the name. I mean, come on, Walkman? It just feels so… old school! So prehistoric! Haha. Walkmans remind of those huge portable casette players, which for me, just aren’t cool. Hehehe.
Maybe if they give Sony Walkmans a new name, they’d be …read more

Most iPod docks on the market are either too boring to look at or cater more to manly audiophiles. And most of the time, they’re not that portable.
As a Gadgenista, I want an iPod dock that’s cute and definitely something I can tote around, especially when I go to the beach.
Looking around the net, I found the perfect (for me anyway) iPod dock!
It’s cute, it’s pink and it’s very portable, haha! It actually looks like a purse. Maybe that’s why I’m drawn towards it. Hello, bags…!
Anyway, this iLive Portable Dock for the iPod is a speaker, charger and AM/FM radio …read more

If you guys noticed, the new iPod Shuffle doesn’t seem to have any external controls, except for the remote that’s built-in with the earphones.
I’m sure you guys are wondering how the heck do you go thru the playlist or adjust the volume, etc, etc so here’s a little guide on how to use the new iPod Shuffle.
Hm, seems pretty complicated for a simple, tiny little thing! Haha. So many things to remember, haha!
