New Tunebuckles

Juniper Foo | May 29, 2006

The Tunebuckle's back. This time you can belt up with two more iterations, the Full Moon and Full Metal Jacket. As can be inferred from the names, the former sports a window access to your iPod nano's Click Wheel, while the latter is a full buckle clasp to give your Apple complete body armor. Hmmm... with so many choices, should it be the Full Moon today or the Full Metal Jacket? Or how about the scrolling belt buckle? Decisions, decisions...

Take a look at the Full Moon | Full Metal Jacket | belt in white

Via Popgadget.net

Price: US$69.95 (Full Moon) and US$79.95 (Full Metal Jacket)
Availability: At Tunebuckle site

When it's all about click and run

Edvarcl Heng | May 25, 2006

The CNET Asia uber cool alert sounded yesterday when we first heard of the new Nike/iPod alliance. Pairing a nano with a built-in pedometer in a Nike shoe may sound extravagant, but it's the sort of geek dream that will have us signing up with the nearest gym. Preferably one with lotsa treadmills situated in front of the ladies' section.

But Gizmodo just uncovered the fact that arch rival Microsoft had came up with it first. A solution that pairs a portable chest ECG with a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone. Too bad it didn't take off. Then again, cool probably sits better in a shoe than a mess of wires across your chest. More info here

When iPods and diamonds are a gal's best bud

Edvarcl Heng | May 22, 2006

Remember the diamond-encrusted iPod casing we mentioned in January? Well, here's a worthy companion that will add a few mili-carats to that glittering case. The iDiamond from Milan-based Mac@Work is a clip-on which affixes itself on the iPod earphones and comes with four different shapes: Heart, star, crescent and lighting. Prices start at 660€ to 750€ (US$843 to US$958), which is certainly anything but cheap.

Mutual mea culpa: Apple versus Creative

Edvarcl Heng | May 19, 2006

In a report by Bloomberg News, Apple Computer apparently batted one back for the Cupertino home team after Singapore-based Creative Technology threw a lawsuit and a trade complaint at the iPod manufacturer.

With the patent that Creative was awarded for its Zen media player's interface, the Singapore firm's legal eagles were looking at an easy way to dig their talons into Apple. But it turns out that this Apple has thorns of its own when it filed a suit claiming that Creative had infringed on four Apple patents at a Wisconsin District Court on May 15.

Now with lawsuits springing out from each side, Creative's self-declared MP3 war has shifted from the retail to the legal. Will the Singapore-based giant's war chest hold out against Apple's coffers? Or will it end up with both sides dropping their suits in exchange for an out-of-court settlement? Stay tuned… on a podcast near you. More info here
