Techie Buzz Bits

Psssst--hey kid! Wanna buy a used iPod?

Quick! Here's a speedy roundup of a few techie/gadget-related finds you might kinda dig…

NEW IPOD DEALS! CALL THEM "PRE-OWNED"...
Let’s face it: You work hard, and you enjoy life, but you may not have the extra cash to spring for a new fancy iPod. Lucky for you, Apple is offering great deals on "refurbished" I-Pods. They may not be new, but they work just as well, and, what’s more, they come with free accessories! Consider it iPod rescue, if you prefer.


BLOWHARDS MAKE BETTER DRIVERS
This one’s for all the aspiring musicians out there. At some point, all woodwind players have trouble hitting the right notes, but be out of pitch no more! The Breath Car can help you practice your puffy prowess. The little remote car, powered by your breathing, turns left and right depending on the strength of your blow. Different notes have specific turns, so if you want to perfect your pitch, check it out.


LOOKS GOOD, SOUNDS GOOD TOO
Chances just might be that you have an iPod. And at this point, you may have iPod speakers. And you may also wish that your I-Pod speakers could reflect you better: As in, elegant and sleek. Intempo has just released a beautiful new surround sound speaker system that will look good in your home as well as play your music crisply. Don’t have an iPod? Don’t worry, it’s MP3 player-compatible, too!


SIRIUS TAKES A STAB
Maybe you love listening to Howard Stern babble for hours on end, but now, instead of being confined to a desk or car, you can do it on the go! The Stiletto (cue the jokes) looks to be a handheld version of Sirius radio, so next time you have to run but still want to listen to one of Stern’s endearing rants, have no fear, for the Stiletto may be on its way!


IS THAT A CAMCORDER ON YOUR HELMET OR ARE YOU JUST HAPPY TO SEE ME?
With the Gay Games here, what better time is there to reach out to the more extreme athletes amongst us? Introducing the Samsung Sports Camcorder, a video camera with a wireless component that allows you to pocket the sleek camcorder and attach the lens to something else, say, a sky-diving helmet. Game on!
