Xbox 360 Controller for Windows Now In Retail Stores
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Video Games,
The PC version of the Xbox 360 wired controller is now available at stores like Best Buy, RadioShack, and OfficeMax. The catch is that you have to be persistent with some of them about the fact that it is okay for them to sell the item. Earlier at Best Buy, I had to break it down old-school to the Media Supervisor about the difference between the Windows version and the official Xbox 360 versions as far as street dates go. Read on for more on that, as well as how to check local Best Buy inventory online.

Griffin Announces iTrip for iPod nano
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Portable Audio / Video,
Early this morning Griffin announced the latest addition to their iTrip FM transmitter line - the iTrip for iPod nano. In the new nano version of the iTrip, the unit now uses the iPod’s high resolution LCD for the display of FM frequency information. The other major visual change is the “sled” design. The nano actually slides into the iTrip, almost like a portable, full-body dock. The iTrip for iPod nano also has Griffin’s SmartSound technology built-in, first seen in their SmartDeck device. This feature automatically adjusts the volume of the iPod over the iTrip for optimal listening. Here is the official feature list, straight from Griffin:
- On-screen tuning
- Supports US, International and Japanese tuning modes
- Stores last 3 used station presets
- Selectable mono/stereo modes
- Charge and sync iPod nano while iTrip is connected
The iTrip for iPod nano is scheduled to hit stores in November at a price of $49.99 USD. If you would rather pre-order, check out

Rounding out the L’Amour Collection is the Nokia 7380 with its etched mirrored surface, and no dialpad interface. This one is the cream of the L’Amour crop, but looks like it would be the most frustrating to use. The phone does also have a 2-megapixel camera with 4x zoom and features voice-dialing - a must on any keyless phone. Nokia states the phone has “enhanced voice commands,” as well as the ability to play MP3 audio. This one will be available in Q1 2006 at the steep price of €500 - but hey, it’s eye candy!

The Nokia 7370 swivels open to reveal its hidden keypad. Patterns are etched its metal trims, and the phone has leather-inspired faceplates. As for real features, the 7370 sports a 1.3-megapixel camera with an 8x zoom, a 2-inch QVGA 320x240 color screen, stereo speakers with 3D sound effects, and video ringtones. The phone is available in two color schemes, coffee brown and warm amber, and should be available in Q1 2006 at €300.

Nokia’s L’Amour Collection is another attempt to capitalize on the Paris Hilton’s and Lindsay Lohan’s of the world, where phone are as much an accessory as they are for communication. The 7360 is the budget model, available in the two signature L’Amour Collection color schemes, coffee brown and warm amber.It’s features include an integrated VGA camera, stereo FM radio, and MP3 ringtone support. This one should be available in Q1 of 2006 at a price of €200.

PRIE Tunetag ID Case for iPod nano
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Portable Audio / Video,
Here’s how to allow just about anyone fast enough to steal your iPod nano with ease. Tunewear’s new PRIE Tunetag ID case is like an around-the-neck ID badge holder, but the main feature of the unit is that it has a dedicated compartment for the iPod nano. Now, you can also store other things like cash, credit cards, and identification, but why put all that around your neck instead of tucked away safely? After all, Steve Jobs said that the little change pocket on yoru jeans was really built for the nano, didn’t he? Still, if you must have one, you can get it for $29.95 USD.

Hold up, Oakley’s THUMP glasses did well enough to warrant a sequel? Lil’ John must have spent a pretty penny on these bad boys. Nonetheless, look for the Oakley THUMP 2 to hit retail by the end of October ‘05 with 1GB of storage for $449 USD, and 512MB for $349 USD. The THUMP 2 glasses and MP3 player hybrid will support MP3, WMA, WAV, and iTunes AAC. Users will use a USB 2.0 connection to move their music over to the THUMP 2 glasses.

Lipstick Shaped USB Drive Because Pink Rocks
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Peripherals,
Interesting way to keep people from putting their hands on your data - store it in a faux lipstick case! The In The Pink USB flash drive provides 128MB of data storage in a pinkish, pearlish, girlish package. The pink also may be in part to the fact that £1 out of every purchased is donated to breast cancer research.
