Kyocera KoiCell phones. At this point it is kind of like telling you we saw a girl with huge breasts. The novelty has almost worn off and we're starting to realize flat-chested girls are a whole lot smarter than the ladies with the fake racks. That might sound really crass, but if you think we will pay more attention to you if you get implants you are right. If you think we're interested in your opinions, we're not. I got off-topic a bit there, but the new KIO is a supersmart phone that will also get you some attention.
Pacific Rim Shuffle Gel ShieldSo after losing one iPod Shuffle immediately and scratching the hell out of the new one, I realized the size is a problem. I have beaten the hell out of the lil' fella because it's jammed in my pocket along with lighters, spare change, a bottle opener, carwash tokens, a mini Bible and a tooth that fell out last month. Pacific Rim helps you keep your shuffle looking spiffy and abuse-free while you fumble for your car keys.
Nokia Fashion CollectionWe don't know Paris Hilton, but we've seen a lot of pictures of her on the Internet lately, and I'm kind of thinking we might get along. And when we finally hookup, she is going to check out my gear and know I'm a dirt bag-I haven't washed my jeans in a month. But she'll also notice my sleek and stylish Nokia phone and forget all about me being broke.
Sony MDR-DS4000 Digital Cordless Infrared Surround Headphone SystemSony is our favorite brand, in case you hadn't figured it out. We get a payola every time I mention the name or hype a new product. The company's new headphones use digital infrared technology and come with Dolby(r) Digital, Dolby(r) Pro Logic(r) II, DTS and MPEG-2 AAC. Unfortunately you'll hear how horrible most of your favorite musicians actually are.
VAIO Pocket Digital Music PlayerThis new offering from Sony plays music, stores photos and is packaged in a rad-looking case. Boasting a 40GB hard drive, touchpad navigation, USB2 transfer and an impressive 20 hours of continuous playback, this new gadget makes our "Must Have" list.
NYKO Charger Case for PSPThe PSP is hard enough to find. So if you do have one, don't screw it up. NYKO now makes a fitted case that not only charges your gaming machine, but also adds five more hours to the battery life-which will come in handy if you are trying to pass that final level or blowing off that long-ass class.
