Can they get any smaller?

Welcome MobiBLU!

I can't believe this thing is real. I found it on slickdeals.net and it's being sold at Walmart for about $100. Just search for Mobiblu.

I very rarely shop at Walmart and I don't really ever encourage anyone to but...if you do I have got to see what one of these things looks like. It would be good to get some battery-life specs. I have been thinking of getting a shuffle just to kick around with or when I go Mountain biking. Solid state, relatively cheap, really small, light. If I only had some expendable income!

By the way, did anyone else notice how hairy that guys arms are? Kind of reminds me of that Chapelle skit about the home shopping network.


There's a new Woot in town.

While we are talking about deals...Check out snapgone.com. Most of you may have already seen the one-deal-a-day page WOOT, but it looks like there is a new kid on the block.

Slickdeals is another one that's pretty good. There is a little more satisfaction and time-killing potential with SD because you can go into the forums and look around at the deals that don't get posted on the main page.

Of the three I have only ever purchased anything from slickdeals. I got a Sandisk USB drive from Amazon. I am still waiting for the rebate, but I have been using the USB drive almost every day since I got it. It's great for this Java class that I was sitting in when I started this blog entry.

The iGuy

Mad props to my buddy KP for showing me the latest and greatest in iAccessories. I was the first one to show her the iPod purse, but she has proven that she has got her finger on the iPulse with this one.

At $35 it's a little steep, but it's pretty clever and the designers were bright enough to make the iGuy's legs swing out of the way when you want to dock him on your iStation.
