Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Accessories, Rumors, Video Games,
Another day, another Nintendo Wii innovation. We recently reported on the Wii’s upcoming online multiplayer capability starting in June. Now comes a practically-confirmed rumor that a “Wii-mic” will be arriving, in conjunction with the release of a groan-inducing
karaoke-style “High School Musical” game, as well as EA’s upcoming “Harry Potter” game—in which you’ll wave the Wii-mic like a wand and cast spells with the mic! Love it. Look for an official confirmation from Nintendo soon.

The iLuv i182 Records Audio and Video Directly to Your iPod
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Accessories, Apple, Movies, Music, Portable Audio / Video,
There are lots of things to love about the iLuv i182, such as its cute-as-a-button name and sleek black design. What does it do? It’s a dock for your iPod or PSP that connects to a source via an S-Video port, and records audio or video straight to your iPod or PSP’s hard drive. No more converting! But what if you left your PSP at your brother-in-law’s? The iLuv comes with an attachable SD and MemoryStick card reader so you can still record audio/video for later use. The iLuv can even be set to stop recording at a specified time. This way, you can record the gripping season finale of “Shooting Sizemore”—while you’re out retrieving your PSP from said brother-in-law. The iLuv records at 640x480 pixel resolution for iPods and 720x480 for the PSP and other video devices. The iLuv will be available this month for $229 USD.

Kodak has announced its new line of EasyShare Cameras at this week’s PMA, (the Photo Marketing Association’s Annual Conference and Exposition.) Included in the line is the 7.1 megapixel Z712 IS digital camera with a 12X optical zoom lens, optical image stabilization, and click-to capture performance (0.26 sec.) The camera is expected to hit shelves this April with a MSRP of $299.95. We’re thinking that this would make a handy companion to the new EasyShare Printers due out around the same time.

T-SAN Laptop Batteries and Electronic Components
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Hot Deals, Mods / Hacks, PC / Laptop,
This is a ReviewMe sponsored post, but the thoughts and opinions are our own.
For those of you out there who would rather stick to your current computer setup rather than upgrading to something more recent (like, say, Windows Vista), you may want to check out T-SAN Electronics for future reference. Based in Southern California, the company is an Electronic Component Distributor that stocks an extensive inventory of semiconductors, integrated circuits, batteries, and the like - even if they are otherwise hard to find or obsolete. As they put it in their message to us, “If you need a diode for a 1997 ASUS motherboard, we got it.”

Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Accessories, Music, Portable Audio / Video,
Yes, there are myriad iPod cases out there with all kinds of bells and whistles, but if you’re as vain as we are, boy have we got a case for you. It’s the Griffin Reflect, a polycarbonate shell with a mirrored chrome finish. The cool part? When the backlight shuts off, the display disappears so only the wheel shows—and the case is now a handy mirror! Fortunately, the Reflect also has a matte rubberized back to prevent slippage. Available for 2G nano, 5G and SanDisk Sansa for $24.99 USD. Apparently we’re not the only ones diggin’ ourselves, as the Reflect is currently on backorder.
