Kodak EasyShare V705 in Pink

CNET Reviews mentioned that this Kodak's newest design the V705, goes back to the V570's lens combo, upping the sensor to a 7.1-megapixel CCD, adding a few features, and offering three colors: Silver Essence, Midnight Black, and Absolute Pink (of course :D). Image quality from the V705 is decent for a camera of its class. As usual with Kodak, colors looked very accurate and well saturated.

This world's smallest ultra-wide-angle zoom lens camera, with a 5x optical zoom range is priced at $349.95. And according to ShinyShiny Kodak will be donating $25 of that to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, with a minimum guaranteed donation of $10,000.

Motorola Razr V3i Dolce & Gabbana

Motorola had partnered with Dolce & Gabbana to produce special blinged-out version of the Motorola Razr V3i. This Razr V3i D&G is clad in a bright gold skin and features D&G-themed wallpapers and ring tones. You'll also get a gold D&G dangle that attaches to your handset. According to CNET Reviews, this phone is more for fashionistas rather than gadget-fiends.

Other than the obvious dangle, the V3i D&G is no different from previous members of the Razr family. "It has the same dimensions as its V3i siblings (3.9 x 2.1 x 0.54 inches) and the same weight (3.5 ounces). The external and internal displays, the navigation controls and the keypad are similar as well. "

"The feature set on the V3i D&G also is unchanged. Among the highlights are Bluetooth, a 1.3-megapixel camera, a digital music player with support for iTunes, Bluetooth, a MicroSD card slot, a speakerphone, basic organizer functions, text and multimedia messaging, and support for IMAP4 and POP3 e-mail. Overall, the feature set is admirable, though we're still not fans of the iTunes/Motorola marriage that has myriad, built-in restrictions. Photo quality was average for a megapixel camera. "

The handset says 'Dolce & Gabbana' when you turn it on and off. However, there are no D&G games. It only comes with Java (J2ME) titles: Asphalt Urban GT, Bejewled, and Solitaire.

Since Motorola is well known as the company that started the thin phone revolution and gave the world the first gadget in bright pink, it shouldn't be a surprise if this Motorola Razr V3i Dolce & Gabbana will come in pink in the near future. Or is Pink just too hot for a Dolce & Gabbana perhaps?

Voice Messenger Echo Bot

This pink cyclops is a Voice Messenger called Belle. She takes down your message and then relays it when someone sets off her motion detector. Which means that once you've recorded your ten-second message (that's all you get, according to ShinyShiny), the echo bot will play it back to the next person to walk past.

You can wrap her bendy legs around a leg chair, or use her suction cups to place her on a window. Belle is battery-operated, retailed at £9.95 and also comes in orange too. I couldn't agree more with TechieDiva who says that among other toys that sit on our desks, at least this one has got something to do besides taking up space.

Hey, the toy speaks like you. How cool is that?

iSoundCap Running Hat for IPod Nano

Yahoo Finance reported that iSoundCap Inc will be releasing the new running hat for iPod Nano, called iSoundCap. Made using lightweight and breathable fabric, this cap had been specifically designed for runners, and it is also compatible with the Nike+iPod kit. The iSoundCap allows runners to place their iPod in the cap where the wires are neatly tucked away inside the cap making their running experience virtually wire-free. Unlike the usual armband or belt clip that goes with the Nike+iPod Kit that leaves wires hanging and in the way.

"In a recent press conference Steve Jobs CEO of Apple said, 'Apple has sold 450,000 Nike+iPod Sport Kits in less than 90 days since their introduction. The kits provide connectivity between the iPod Nano and Nike running shoes.'"

"Karl Foust, CEO of iSoundCap Inc. says, 'When runners try our new caps we are sure they will find it a better way to carry their iPod while training.'"

Since the complete lineup will include colors matching the new iPod Nano 2nd Generation, this means that this hat/cap is available in pink. Great!

Puk Me! PC Mouse Wrist Rest

Pukme.com introduced a smooth, comfortable, gliding wrist rest called PUK. As mentioned on Pukme website, "resting between your palm and wrist, your PUK slides around whilst you use your computer mouse, supporting your wrist, elevating it to the height it should be". Sounds interesting, no?

For all of you gadget geeks, these are the specs, as described by Pukme:

The Base: is made from a self-lubricating, lightweight, low wear, durable, low friction plastic, developed by DuPont.

The Top: is super squasy comfy. Made from thermoplastic elastomer, a hybrid breed of plastic and rubber, to make your wrist feels so much at home.

The Benefits:
- no more aching wrist and palms. yay!
- omni-directional. The PUK will glide and slide in every possible directon underneath your wrist.
- good looking? Of course :D. Eye-catching? Very much!
- since it looks almost like a puck, perhaps hockey is an option? I doubted that ;)

You can get you favourite PUK from Pukme for £5.

GadgetCandy has also got their hands on the PUK. Seems like they love it. So, Mr Pukme Sir, any chance for PinkGadget to test out the PUKs, in pink maybe? :D

It still sports the same features, of course, including a camera, a 2-inch QVGA screen and 512MB of memory.

Good Ol' Scrabble Turned Pink


















A little site surfing today made me stumble upon the glamorous Special Edition Pink Scrabble on Breakthrough. Everything has the pink touch from box to board and tile to tile bag. As described by Breakthrough, even the striking red Scrabble logo has turned a shade of fushia for the first time since its creation.

This makeover aims to raise funds for Breakthrough in lieu of the Breast Cancer Awareness Program with a £1.50 donation from the sale of each game set (Recommended Retail Price is around £15).

Yup, the good ol' scrabble now comes in pink. You can now smile from ear to ear. Go Get it now.

Update: Upon further research on the internet, I came upon a comment from one reviewer whom dissappointingly mentioned that the tiles for this Special Edition Pink Scrabble is smaller than the spaces on the board, so the game will end up looking scruffy as it's difficult to keep the words aligned neatly.

Can somebody confirm this?

Pink Gadget Is Born! - Ipod Nano Leather Case Takes Centerstage

Hye guys,
My name's Rina. And I absolutely love pink to death. I just can't understand girls (and boys) who hate the color pink. What? Boys shouldn't be wearing pink? That is sooo last season. Pink looks good on anyone.. and I mean just anyone. So, as a dedication towards the color pink, I'm going to write a lot about any latest, vintage and must-have pink gadgets - hence the name ;)

To start up this Pink Gadget Blog, let's take a look at this IPod Nano Leather Case in Pink (of course!) from Gear4.com. Stunning isn't it?



Features:
• Premium-grade leather
• Super soft velvet lining
• With velcro bag strap
• Full access to click wheel, screen and ports
• Strong magnetic clip closure

However, please note that this leather case is not compatible with the new Nano. It works with 2GB and 4GB models. If you're already thinking on purchasing it, it's going to cost you £19.99.

For you guys who have already owned this Ipod Nano Leather Case, please share your views. Does it look as good as what the picture shows? Can it sustain long wearing? Does the color wear off easily?

Ok. That's all for now.
More Pink Gadgets will follow soon!
