I’ve been following this product for a while and SwiMP3 have launched version 2 of their waterproof MP3 player, designed to give swimmers the ultimate in musical entertainment while they work out.  In case you’re wondering, the SwiMP3 V2 uses bone conduction instead of air for sound transmission, transferring sound vibrations from the cheek bone to the inner ear.

Sounds cool ?  The only downer is that the come in sizes of 128MB up to 256MB.  Get it the SwiMP3 V2 from finisinc.com, all for a low US$149.99.

Finally Skype is on the iPhone and it works!
Looks like us Aussies were able to download it before our fellow Americans since many of my U.S. Twitter friends complained that they could not even see it in their AppStore instance.

Skype for iPhone took a little longer to download than the average app but it eventually completed its journey onto my iPhone. This app is taking a spot on my first page of apps given it’ll be one of my most used.

Looks like HTC will finally get some competition in the Google Android arena. Acer has thrown in it’s hat, announcing that it too will have it’s own Android phone by as soon as Fall / September this year.
Very little is known about the Acer A1, except that it’ll have a touchscreen. Not really much to rejoice about.
Given Acer’s ability to adapt and succeed in new markets such as the netbook space, I have an inkling that Acer may just be a force to watch out for as it sets its …

Like everyone else, when it comes round to spending my hard earned cash, I like getting the most bang for my buck.  I usually search on the internet for the best deals, and try to find the cheapest price I can with a reputable merchant.  I also browse bargain sites daily, keeping an eye out for coupons and specials that will save me money when I make a big purchase.

One trend I am seeing on the increase though, is the policy of price matching.  Propagated by big chains and retailers, …

ASUS have seemingly committed a Netbook faux-pax by announcing the EEE 1004DN, a 10-inch netbook with an optical drive.  This is certainly a first for netbooks, as most eschew the seldom used optical drive in favour of SD card readers, to help reduce size and weight.

However, for those wanting to enjoy a DVD on a trip, or installing purchased software without having to copy files off another machine – this is a welcome feature.  Other specifications include the newer Intel Atom N280 CPU, a 120GB HDD and the chiclet style …

In this day and age of communications, it’s easy to end up running so many different messaging clients on your computer that you can barely keep track of which window does what. Luckily, there are often ways of consolidating the functionality of these standalone clients into much less clutter-prone solutions.

This mashup is not a replacement for your Twitter client by any means, but you if use Skype as a messenger a lot, it may be a convenient way to quickly update or receive Twitter messages, without having to fish through …

Who doesn’t love their dog?? They’re practically family, and we tend to want to take them everywhere with us. Here in NYC, it’s not uncommon to see a dog trotting through the isles in stores, or lapping up water in outdoor seating areas of restaurants. While these types of outings can to be really enjoyable for both the dog and human participants, one destination that tends not to be much fun is the airplane.
The ugly truth about flying with your pooch is that in most cases, they just get stuffed …

Logitec Japan, not to be confused with the Swiss peripheral maker Logitech, has introduced a new 19mm thick pocket Wireless Router weighing less than 55g.  This router can be used as an Wireless Access Point and supports encryption standards like WPA2(AES), WPA(TKIP) and WEP128/64 bit.

With this in tow, you can use the line – is that a router in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

Computers are becoming progressively smaller as time goes on.  The renowned netbook maker, ASUS, is now packing a full fledged computer into a keyboard less than an inch thick, which can then be hooked up to a  monitor or big screen TV.

The EEE keyboard features Apple-like keys, plus an Intel Atom 1.6GHz processor, 1GB of memory, and either 16GB or 32GB solid state storage.  The kicker though is a 5-inch, 800 x 480 pixel touchscreen where a normal number pad should be – the intended usage is as a control …

I’ve been reading ebooks on my handheld devices for as long as I can remember (we’re talking about US Robotics Pilot circa 1997 here), and have been absolutely fascinated by the success of the Amazon Kindle.   For one, they’ve turned their entire retailing model from moving paperback books to an estimated $1 billion business moving ebooks.  With the launch of the Kindle 2 last month, Amazon has refined their ebook reader product and made it even sleeker and sexier to behold.

For me, the main attraction is the display technology – …
