SCOTTeVEST Milan

While it is expensive, the SCOTTeVEST Milan makes a huge statement that justifies its price of entry. This jacket is the top of the line in portable entertainment gear. Unlike all the gadgets you will be carrying around, this piece of technology doesn’t make you look like a geek. Instead, we received numerous compliments on how great the jacket looked at our recent Mind Camp event. Think of it as the ultimate carrying case for any portable you own. That being said, remember that we have a coupon code for 20% off all SCOTTeVEST orders through December 25th, 2005. If you spring for the Milan, that will get you $90 off with free shipping. Just head on over to the Milan product page to pick one out, and use coupon code “GEARLIVE” during checkout to get your discount. You can check out our full review here.

SCOTTeVEST Rodeo

Now, if you just can’t afford the Milan, the next best thing would be the SCOTTeVEST Rodeo. It is almost a carbon copy of the slick Milan, but in walnut-colored microsuede. This one has 39 pockets, and has all of the new SCOTTeVEST 4.0 features, such as the Detachable Cargo Cache Plus, and tons of magnetic closures, as well as the patented Personal Area Network. The SCOTTeVEST Rodeo is an affordable $199 USD - or just $159 after using our coupon code during checkout.

237D


The SCOTTeVEST 237D jacket is meant to be worn 237 days out of the year. Like other SCOTTeVEST jackets, the 237D comes with tons of pockets - 33 to be exact. Like all SCOTTeVEST products that we’ve reviewed in the past, this one is built with quality standards. If you want something nice, but can’t afford the Milan or Rodeo, the 237D sells for just $159.99. Use our exclusive SCOTTeVEST coupon code “GEARLIVE” and you save $32, playing less than $130 USD. Not bad at all. The 237D is available in two colors: Stone and Olive.

SCOTTeVEST Milan Review

SCOTTeVEST truly is Technology Enabled Clothing, as the company touts. Using this philosophy, SCOTTeVEST has developed a full line of clothing specially geared toward those who need to carry multiple gadgets but never had the pockets to do so. In the past, we have taken a look at their Three.0 Spring Jacket, Hidden Cargo Shorts, TEC T-Shirt, Classic Vest, Solar Jacket, Sport Coat, and Hidden Cargo Pants. Today, we take a look at what might be their best product to date - by far. At first glance, the Milan Leather Jacket is impressive. We put it through a full review after the jump.

Invisible Shield Set-up

It’s no secret that the iPod is easily scratched and now with the introduction of the “nano black” iPods, scratches seem to find their way on these high priced devices even easier and more noticeable than ever before. So what do you do about it other than yell, fall to the floor and start crying? Shell out $24.95 for a protective covering that promises to keep your new toy shiny and scratch free. We were able to get one at the same time that we purchased a 60 GB black iPod and share our experience after the jump.

MyPodSack BeanPod

This one is for those out there who feel their iPod needs a

scrotum

beanbag to rest on while it charges at the end of the day. The BeanPod holds the iPod charger internally, and can dock a 30 GB iPod, iPod nano, or iPod mini. They say it can even charge cell phones as well, if that’s your thing. They retail for $25 USD, but it looks like MyPodSack is all out of them, and is now looking for a manufacturer and distributer to partner with to get more of these things out.

iPod videoSteve Jobs has done it again, and has come out with a product that is simply selling a ton. The new iPod is available in 30GB and 60GB models and has a wider 2.5-inch color 320x240 TFT screen. Apple is also making the new standard iPod available in what we like to call “nano Black.” Aside from the standard iPod fare, this one has the ability to play MPEG-4 and H.264 encoded video. The price point is not too shabby here either, with the 30GB model costing $299 (holding 75 hours of video) and the 60GB model hitting $399 (holding 150 hours of video.) The new iPods are thinner than the previous models, with the 30GB being 31% thinner than the 20GB iPod, and the 60GB version being 12% thinner than the 20GB iPod. To read our review of the iPod with video support, click here.


Product: Apple iPod
Price: 30 GB - $294 USD 60 GB - $369 USD

The Napster Girl


Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music,

We just got this video from Napster, which we would have normally ignored. However, after watching it, we thought it would be worth sharing, as it gave us a chuckle at the end. It plays off of the whole concept of iTunes hitting you with a 30-second preview, while Napster gives you the whole deal. The video is playable right in this post, no need for a download.
