SanDisk is still in the MP3 player game with its latest offering, the Sansa slotMusic player. This plug and play device targets the new slotMusic cards that have been recently unveiled in the US. You will be able to buy the Sansa slotMusic player for $20, and this device is able to play slotMusic card albums or a microSD memory card filled to the brim with MP3 files of your choice - just make sure those files are DRM-free in the first place. The artist-branded slotMusic player comes with its own slotMusic card and a design that features the artist’s name and image. Europe and the rest of the world will have to wait until 2009 to see a shadow of the slotMusic Player. As with any other self-respectable MP3 players, you will find that this model can be augmented with accessories such as a Sansa Card Wallet, an armband and additional slotMusic player “shells”.

Our sleeping habits don’t all do so well when there is a partner involved.  Sometimes we prefer to sleep one way, but when a significant other comes into the picture we try to adapt and become a little easier to live with.  Well if before you found that special someone you got into the habit of falling asleep with music on, you might want to check out this speaker.  I have seen on occasion headphones made for sleeping, but no matter what it means you have to sleep with something attached to your head.  Well this little speaker is a bit different and probably would end up being more comfortable.

Incipio Technologies has your iPhone 3G’s best interests in mind with its new Feather Protective Case that offers protection despite being less than 1mm thin. Hmmm, makes me wonder what kind of material they use - a highly advanced form of the fabled adamantium? Apparently not, as Incipio has used an ultra light, ultra strong polymer that is as light as a feather (hence its name) to offer form-fitting durability without adding any bulk. It is so thin that your iPhone 3G can still be used with many docks on the market without any problem, and there are seven colors to choose from. Just don’t expect this $19.99 iPhone 3G case to offer shock protection against drops…

Alright, I have never had the urge to cuddle with my speakers.  Nor do I wish for a set of speakers that would be comfortable to cuddle with.  To me, speakers are meant to sit there and make noise, on occasion maybe have a bit of geek appeal.  A cuddly bear speaker is just taking things too far.  Besides the first time you watched an rated R movie on your laptop with one of these plugged in, it’s poor ears would probably go up in flames.  It’s sometimes difficult to see who they could possibly be marketing something like this towards, luckily in this case they just came out and said it.

Slingbox has just released yet another device for the living room, and this time round, this is a universal media player that will deliver broadcast TV, Internet video and personal content to the TV seamlessly. Fact of the matter is this - the SlingCatcher could eventually end up to be one of the more flexible Internet video devices released in recent memory. Slingbox did go as far as to describe the SlingCatcher being able to stream video from network TV sites such as ABC.com, videon content sites like Hulu.com and CollegeHumor.com, and community video sites such as YouTube.com. With a whole lot of videos for you to view, it makes me wonder whether you will have the time to watch all of them or not, or will it be relegated to certain dusty sectors of your hard drive in due time, ever waiting for “tomorrow” before it is viewed.

With millions of iPhones and wifi enabled iPod Touch’s, and over 100 million applications sold, Madison Avenue is playing close attention to Apple’s success. Who wouldn’t? But the MadMen in New York are seeing opportunities, not applications. They are seeing how incorporating advertising into social networking applications like “Loopt” can turn those millions of iPhones into 21st century bill boards. And they’re betting the farm on it.
