Filed under: iPod/iPhone — techiedivas @ 9:40 am

Shlsincludedthumb_1 People treat their iPods like they are their very own precious baby!  They dress it up, buy toys for it, put jewelry on it, or house them with designer cases. The newest trend is the new iPod Shuffle wardrobe found on this Japanese website. I believe they cost 2,000 Yen. My goodness, iPod Shuffles’ accessories are becoming a phenomena of their own!

So_very_trashy_britney They say the camera never lies, and adds a few pounds. While there is no doubt that a high percentage of households will have HDTV this year, if not already,  there is no denying that Celebrities will suffer.  Hollywood beauty will be paying a high dollar to Dr. 90210 very soon. HDTV does not hide any flaws, like pimples, wrinkles, or pockmarks. Check out this HDTV list of who will look Toxic, or who will look like a porcelain doll.

Get PSP Before it’s Release!

Filed under: Gaming — techiedivas @ 1:46 am

Pspsformarchsale We can’t wait to get our hands on the new PSP! Are you with me? By reasons unknown to us, there is always someone who can get their little hands on extra PSPs, and we just happen to know one of them. Although PSPs are selling for $577 in the "Grey Market", in London, Sony does not expect a shortage, but there is always the possibility that you will not be one of the first million customers to get the  "Value Pack" that includes the Spiderman UMD. It seems the UMDs will be selling for $32, but I guess we will see. In the mean time, if you are desperately awaiting the PSP release and can’t wait until March 24, well then do a little hunting on Craigslist, you just might get lucky.
