Um, guys, you are all aware that there are other portable music players aside from the iPod, right? And the iPod's nearest competitor right now are those PMPs from that little Taiwanese company called Creative. I'm sure you've heard of them. Well, Creative has been making pretty good music players (with features that are even better than the iPod's, if you ask me) and they've started teasing us about the newest one: the Zii EGG. ... yeah, it's a name that made me scratch my head too. But whatever, Dapreview's staff was given a sample unit and it looks great: Seriously, the only reason I ...

Before anything else, I'd like to bring up the fact that I am a big Beatles fan, and September 9, 2009, is one of the most highly-anticipated dates of my fanboy life. You see, 09/09/09 is when they will newly-remastered complete Beatles catalog. And for us fanboys who have put up with the tinny-sounding official releases or have scrounched file-sharing networks for vinyl rips of their songs, this is going to be a big relief for us. No more backyard remastering! Yay! Also, to be released on 09/09/09 is The Beatles Rock Band. I don't think I need more words to blow your mind with how awesome that is. Moving on. This is the part where I'm going for ...

Sony has announced the latest addition to its range of WALKMAN portable media players: the S540 Series.

This is Sony's first video-enabled MP3 player to incorporate higher quality stereo speakers. Coupled with some proprietary technology to enhance bass and treble, it's supposed to offer an improved listening experience when not using headphones.

Sure, the Microsoft pulls a fast one on us, and made us actually WANT a Zune (I'm so sorry for all the "Zune owners? They exist?" jokes I made; I know this is retribution), but what we saw the last time are just pretty (oh so pretty) pictures. Now Brian Seitz from the Zune Team made this 6 minute long video where he demonstrates the UI in detail, shows us how the browser works, demos the keyboard, and of course, he plays music - via HD Radio.

Finally, a non-ugly Zune. Microsoft released Zune HD images and there are black and silver versions. This is the first time I've seen a Zune and saying "That looks good. I want one." No, really. Also, CNET was able to do a hands-on with the Zune HD, and I'll let this picture speak for itself: There isn't much information about the Zune HD yet, but I'm hoping Microsoft keeps this up. This looks like a step in the right direction.

Some call them mobile phones others cellular phones or cell phones for short(geez.. four letters???!!!??), whatever you'd want to call them they're the best solution to our never ending need for communicating along with the lust for gizmos and gadgets. Analog phones started as mere telephones without wires that worked on closed networks with batteries as large as a suitcase. When it went digital, the magic began when Nokia unknowingly included a free service programmed within their phones called SMS or texting to some. People, the ever curious creatures we are, discovered this and went on texting sprees that topped calls these technological wonders were supposed to do....

Everybody's sure to have a mobile device today for it has revolutionized the way we communicate with each other. It has created a niche in popular society, responsible for words such as SMS, Texting, Twitter, iReports and many more as testament to our reliance on the said technological wonder. Some love them some hate them but you'd have to give credit that without it, we would still be living in an age where phones had wires. Cellular phones are one of the most prolific, intrusive and indispensable technologies we have and they pack a lot of technology in so small ...

Okay. Hmmm... first time I heard this, I didn't get it too. According to yahoo.com's tech blog section tech gadgets have become our girls new best friend! From a survey they did, out of 1,750 adults, 26% said that they are wanting to receive battery powered thing-a-ma-jigs from their sweeteroos! That got me thinking... 26% is noticably high for "things" that are just gaining popularity vs. the standard gifts of roses, chocolates, love poems... Yesterday, I was strolling in a mall with my 10-year-old daughter when she tugged me towards the electronics section. I was surprised, really... she was leading the stroll, probably waiting for something to catch her eye or my eye...
