Nike+ SportBand (- iPod)

Gadgets: Nike+ SportBand Coming Next Week

Well, it looks like the next Nike+ gadgetry will go out without the iPod.  I hope this becomes available locally because I've been wanting to do some running (and tracking it at the same time) but I don't like the iPod Nano that comes with the Nike+.

I wonder if I can make this work with my Eee PC...

WhyPhone?

Weeks after the release of the iPhone in the U.S., the iPhone has become a hit locally even if it has not been released officially in Asia. I for one would not mind having one and if the deal that's been offered me pushes through, I'll definitely get a unit in a heartbeat.

Now, a lot of "knowledgeable" people scoff at the iPhone because its features are not at par with locally available cellphones at the same price point. Now, he question remains, why get an iphone at all?

Well, here's why I want one *now*:

• I want a mobile internet terminal and based on reviews, Mobile Safari works really well and should be more than adequate for what I want to do with it.
• I don't send/receive MMS so the iPhone's lack of MMS capability is a non-issue for me.
• I have a 3G/HSDPA phone but I rarely use it so what's the big deal if the iPhone only support EDGE?
• My old 3rd gen iPod is dying of old age and I'm in the market for a new digital media player -- the iPhone is more than capable to fill this need.
• Speaking of iPod, the 8GB capacity of the current iPhone is more than adequate to provide me with ours of music and a couple of movie clips, I don't need to carry my complete media library with me.
• With the iPhone, I'll just carry one gadget with me, instead of carrying a phone, an iPod, and a small laptop.
  

There are other reasons but those are the main reasons why I want an iPhone NOW!

iPod Touch: Geekgasmic!

allow me a few minutes to take a big gulp of Kool Aid here...

When I opened the Apple website this morning, I was expecting yet another ho-hum update of the iPod line but lo and behold, a thing of beauty greeted my eyes! The iPod Touch!

Now this is a gadget that is definitely in my to-buy list! I can't justify getting yet another cellphone (I already have two active cellphones with me at this moment) but I can justify an iPod purchase -- my 3rd gen iPod is on its way to the gadget graveyard and I think its time for me to get a new one.

Screw the Eee PC, I'm getting the iPod Touch!

Sony Folds and Releases iPod Accessories!

For the longest time now, Sony has been adamant at creating accessories for Apple's iPod, concentrating instead on their own Walkman line of portable music gear and accessories for it. But as of July 18, 2007, Sony stopped snubbing the iPod and releases a line of product for it.

This is the Sony ICF-C1iP, a clock radio/iPod dock.

And this is the Sony ZS-S2iP, their version of an iPod-powered boombox.

Knowing the audio quality of Sony-branded products, I'm sure buyers of these iPod-compatible products will not be disappointed.

Lala.com To Allow iTune-less iPod Synchronization?

I found this interesting piece of news on a local news website gmanews.tv and its too compelling to pass up.



According to the news item, Lala.com, an online CD sales and swapping site, will soon offer a way for iPods to get music directly from their website. All one needs to do is to download a "small" plug-in to their browsers and off they go! As of this writing, Lala.com already has an agreement with Warner Music to distribute their music using this model.



How will this affect the sales of the iTunesPlus (DRM-Free) store? Will this finally open up the "stranglehold" Apple has on the booming online music sales?

I guess we'll have to wait and see...

Feed YourZune: Podcasting for the Zune!

One of the downside of owning a Zune is its inability to download and synchronize podcasts. Well, not to be completely out of the loop, FeedYourZune was created to fill this need.

This free software can

• Automate download and synchronization of podcasts to the Zune
• Supports both audio and video podcasts
• Uses Open Architecture -- RSS, BitTorrent and Blog Permalinks
• Creates playlists, favorites, disk space management and more...

I wonder if it works with non-Zune players?

2G iPod Shuffle Pr0n!

If you get off at looking at Geek pr0n, then you'll appreciate the ifixit website where they show the 2nd generation iPod Shuffle all in its naked glory...

and a way to fix it if something **really** bad happens to it.

Bibi: Give Your Gear Some Cuteness Overdose

The Apple Expo 2006 held at Paris has a very interesting exhibitor. They are Lauren and Paulina Bibi and they are selling cute iPod cases (and soon to come MacBook cases). Here's some pictures to whet the appetite of iPod owners who can't get enough iPod cases:




The MacBook case looks promising since it will definitely prevent those unsightly blemish that develop on its wrist area which a lot of early adopters complain about.

HowTo: Travel Light with an iPod Nano

It looks like someone is doing his homework when he designed Mophie's Knox case for the new iPod Nano.

The Knox is made from brushed aluminum, providing ample protection for the New Nano while also providing some space for some money and credit cards.

I wish they have something similar for the Treo.
