Macbook Air

Now this- this- is a stylish computer. It’s so lovely I’ve been sighing ever since I saw it, while wondering how I can trade in my existing white Macbook (which is still fairly new) to get my hands on this gem of a laptop. It’s the world’s thinnest notebook, and it’s called the Macbook Air. Keep Reading »

Stocking Stuffers: iPod Shuffle

Little. Red. Different. The latest incarnation of the iPod Shuffle made everyone sit up and look- it’s a clip-on iPod! – and, despite its lack of a screen, it still tops many a birthday and Christmas wishlist.

Since we’re kicking off our Stocking Stuffers series, why not start with a particularly generous one? And speaking of generosity, if you buy this RED Shuffle, a donation is made to fight AIDS in Africa.

iPod shuffle (PRODUCT) RED Special Edition 1GB. $79.00 at the Apple Store.

Lego Watch

I was a Lego addict growing up. From the little Lego people to entire “villages” crafted of the colorful blocks, I spent hours seated on my bedroom floor, playing to my heart’s content.

Obviously, I would have loved to have one of these Lego watches, which you “build before wearing”. Water resistant up to 100 feet, with analog-quartz movement. Just $14.99 at Amazon. The child in your life will love it.

Sony Ericsson K618

Finally, a strong contender for the next mobile phone I’m buying: the Sony Ericsson 3G K618, which was announced today:

This compact phone is well equipped for both capturing & sharing photos, and playing music. Notably, the K618 features Bluetooth™ Streaming, which means that full-length music tracks (or video clips) can be sent wirelessly from the phone and listened to on a compatible Bluetooth™ enabled device, such as the Stereo Bluetooth Headset HBH-DS970.

One click of the dedicated camera button and the 2.0 Megapixel camera is activated, which comes complete with 2.5x digital zoom and Mobile Blogger This application allows the user to post (or blog) their images directly to their own blogsite, giving friends and family the chance to go online and view the shots. The K618 is also ready for making video calls; the separate video telephony camera and high speed 3G connectivity making this a reality.

With so many multimedia functions available, it’s possible to build up a sizeable collection of photos, music files, video clips and web pages. The 256MB Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™) provided caters for this and will store around 700 photos or 230 music tracks for example*. There is also the option to expand the external memory up to 1GB as an individual’s media library grows.

Me? I just love its sexy design.
