Limited Edition Microsoft Pink Zune

Could you believe that this Pink Zune is already in the market? Reallyyy?Uh oh. No. Not exactly. False alarm. According to ZuneInfo, apparently Microsoft has only put 100 of these out in the wild, complete with a certificate stating just that.

"One lucky shopper managed to pick one up at Circuit City and has now put it up for sale on eBay." So, I guess you could either hunt down the 99 Pink Zunes left (probably) or you could go all out in the bidding war on eBay.

According to ZuneInfo, so far the bidding on Ebay is up to: $380.99 (Good luck Pink Zune chasers!)
Is this a sign that Ipod has finally met it's real rival? Time will tell.

Also, head over to ZuneScene for more information.

New Hasbro i-Dog Musical Companion for iPod and MP3 Players

The i-Dog has been updated with new features for the 2006 holidays by Hasbro. One of them is that this playful, palm-sized robot puppy reacts to music now without connecting a cable to them.

There are many ways to get the i-Dog to react to music it hears:


1. Try sitting i-Dog in front of a speaker, or
2. Use his own built-in speaker, or
3. Plug him into the headphone jack of an iPod or other MP3 player.

SharperImage described that "After a few seconds of music, his face lights up, ears wag and head tilts in sync with the beat. i-Dog also can be expressive without music, staying animated even after the music stops."
Oh yeah, you need to tweak his tail to mute sounds when using his built-in speaker.
What I love about this i-Dog is the blinking LEDs on his face that shows the expression of i-Dog's four moods: "agitated" when listening to rock and rap music; "pleased" when you're playing him country and classical; "delighted" from pop and R&B numbers; and "excited" when it comes to dance music!
The i-Dog is compatible with most portable music devices including iPod, Discman and Rio. Besides Pink, i-Dog is also available in Blue, Black, White and Dalmation.

SharperImage is selling the i-Dog for $29.95

iPod Powered OhMiBod

First, there's a machine that rubs your aching back, neck, hands and legs (aka Osim), then comes the 'musically powered' Osim.

So, the next natural thing to follow in this line of business would be 'musically powered' vibrator? Now, that's what I call a genius :D.

OhMiBod, the music-powered vibrator, plugs into your iPod or MP3 player and vibrates in sync with your tunes. GadgetCandy Kinky Corner did a review on OhMiBod. "One would have thought dance music would be the way forward, but it's actually the slow tracks that take you places. Justin Timberlake & Nelly Furtado come highly recommended, along with George Michael."

"One downside: just as Wake Me Up Before You GoGo was working its magic, the track ended and Make It Big started. I could definitely have done withough the track change, if you know what I mean... "

Ah, such a mood killer. Yeah, I think we all get what you mean ;)

GadgetCandy also mentioned that the pulsating product works wonderfully with Justin Timberlake's Rock your Body.

OhMiBod is available over at Bedroom Pleasures for £45.

Pink Swarovski Crystal Nintendo DS Lite

I have never seen anything like it. The crystal job on this DS Lite is stunning. And so, this is a shout out to all Swarovski Crystals freaks (and I mean it in a good way, by the way). Go get this stunning Pink Swarovski Crystal Nintendo DS Lite!

Shinyshiny reported that there are over 1,200 crystals on each limited edition console, all in varying shades of Pink of course. A note to Londoners: Shinyshiny also mentioned that you'll be able to find them at the Multipazz boutique in Central London, where they're selling for £360.

And.. can you believe that the design was apparently inspired by Paris Hilton? I guess, she's not that bad after all :P

Pink Hot Socks

Okay, this might be a little bit off-topic. Yeah yeah.. I know, What has socks got to do with gadgets, right?. But I believe that good things (in pink) shouldn't be kept mummed about.

FindMeAGift informed that this pink Hot Socks are the latest in the fantastic Hot Sox range. These soft, cosy socks are the perfect way to soothe your tired or cold feet.

"Not only do Pink Hot Sox keep your toes toasty, they also help to improve your circulation and ease arthritic pain while the essence of Rose, Neroli & Lavender relaxes and calms your body and mind."
Instructions:
1. Place the Pink Hot Socks in a microwave or electric oven to get them warm.
2. Slip them onto your feet.

Then just relax...

Pink Hot Sox are 27cm long, 13cm wide and 23cm high (as they also keep your ankles warm) but don't worry, according to FindMeAGift, one size fits most!

And I also like the Hot Sox tagline:
They're not slippers. They're not socks. They're Hot Sox!

Amadana Portable DVD Player VP-110

Once again PinkGagdet goes out of its way to report a non-pink gadget, as a result of seeing this sleek old-school-looking Amadana Portable DVD Player from Realfleet Co. Ltd.

This DVD player is made of natural material, laminated bamboo, and equipped with a flat-touch panel. Amadana explains that "Laminated bamboo creates a natural texture that cannot be produced with paint. By carbonizing the bamboo before laminating, a subtle difference is created in each section of bamboo. The difference in color creates a unique natural feeling when the bamboo is laminated. You can feel how different it is from other products that are painted, and this texture cannot be created with metal or plastic."

"It is equipped with 10-inch-wide LCD; the largest among the portable types. Able to display TFT Active Matrix 1,150,000 pixels with progressive scanning. With a large, high-definition LCD, you can enjoy the beautiful images even with a portable."

Some other features:
- supports the Dolby Digital sound system
- equipped with an SD memory card slot
- equipped with 6 input-output terminals
- equipped with 2 headphone terminals

There's also a leather case available to protect this portable DVD Player. Unfortunately, like the player, the casing is also NOT available in pink. (colors available: dark brown, red, yellow, beige).

Let's hope Realfleet gets this message, and produce a Pink Amadana Portable DVD Player, or at least make the leather case available in pink :D

Will report to you some more, if there's updates on this!

Pink Samsung Blush SGH-x830 With Benefit

What can I say, this phone is a must-buy for every girls! And a perfect gift for Christmas. ShinyShiny attended this Samsung Blush launch and has done a great review on this phone. To add the 'Zing' factor, Samsung Blush comes packaged up with a selection of Benefit goodies. Yay!

And as you could've guessed the launch was done in a style ala day spa / beauty parlour, where attendees were treated to eyebrow waxes and mini-makeovers whilst learning about the phone. Blush should be thought of as a music device with all the benefits of a mobile phone, rather than the other way around.

ShinyShiny reported that "the music player is the big plus, very iPod like with a click wheel for navigation and easy to use menus. There's also an 'offline' mode that'll turn off all phone functions so you can use it purely as a music player on planes and other non-phone-friendly areas. Internal memory is 1gb, sadly there's no card slot to increase that, but when you think it already has double the memory of an iPod shuffle, it'll still hold a good number of songs."

"The camera is a respectable 1.3 megapixels with an automatic flash, and the phone itself is lipstick sized, bright pink and easy to slip into your handbag. "

Unfortunately, there's a down-side to this excellent Blush: The new keypad layout of two rows instead of three would probably make frequent texters think twice before purchasing Blush. However with a style to die for, I think a lot of them would decide to give in ;)

GadgetCandy mentioned that the "Samsung's Blushin' box set will feature £50 worth of Benefit goodies. Think a Georgia palette, a silky lip cream, lush eye shadows and a Hollywood Glo body balm, all tucked inside a chic cosmetic bag. And if you're no good at face painting, then head over to your nearest Benefit Beauty Bar and present the 'Make Upper' card also included in the package to redeem your free slap session. The Samsung Blush will be available exclusive to Orange from 1 November. It comes free on all 12 month contracts over £30 or £179.99 on Pay As You Go."

What say you? Must have or just another fad?
