The BluAlert Vibrating Bluetooth Wristband goes for about $68.

My personal take on the whole business of satellite radio is that it is a waste of money. Why? I am much more of a local feel type person. Meaning that many people who are like me care for the local station much more than a nationally televised station.

When watching TV, would you like to here about news in your city? Or somewhere you’ve never even heard of. If I want that kind of stuff, I’ll just watch Matt and Meredith, then finally see what’s in my neck of the woods half way through the whole thing.

XM has a lot of great sports channels as does Sirius. They are pretty much the same thing with a few differences here and there. Its like trying to compare the Zune and the iPod…you can make a whole list of differences if you care to read that many or just simply state that they do pretty much the same thing in different ways.

Finally: Why Satellite or Why Not? Here goes, Satellite works for the person that does not care about local stations and who is constantly traveling. This person will like one station and be on it for the whole time. It also fulfills the needs of a person that doesn’t like too much interruption. Up until about a year or so ago, I never heard a lot of commercials on the radio. That has changed a little…for the most part, not too many.

You will like satellite radio, IF…

1. You enjoy one station for a long trip

2. You like sports and hearing a wide array of the whole topic

3. You care more about national news than select audience local news

4. You want a channel that plays only a certain type of music…more and more radio stations are broadcasting and trying to make money by attempting to catch a lot of different listeners…This can be annoying!

5. You simply like telling people that you pay 20 bucks a month for your radio and they pay nothing.

Happy Listening!

This is a wireless hard drive from Apple that uses wireless network controller (supports 802.11a, b, g and n draft2.0 specification). This storage is really versatile – you can use it as file server for your media files, it has all necessary interfaces for working with other Apple’s wireless devices like iPhone, iPod touch, and Apple TV. But the main and most significant feature (it actually has brought the name for this gadget) is backup.

Apple Time Capsule can be mounted as wireless hard drive to any PC or Mac computer and will have special file backup & recovery software in package. It is already available for pre-ordering in Apple Store. The prices are $299.00 for 500 GB model and $499.00 for 1TB model.

This winter sports helmet offered by Hammacher Schlemmer has built-in earphones and bluetooth receiver that receives signals from transmitter. That means that you can listen to music from your mp3 player while skiing or snowboarding, for example.

The helmet is made from modern materials that are common for such things, includes 16 airflow vents, removable ear pads, vent plugs, easy-to-adjust straps, and a goggle-securing lock, available in three sizes  – small (fits heads 20″-21″ around), medium (up to 23″) or large (up to 25″) and is sold for $299.95.

Working with Chumby is very easy. All you need is to activate the device via internet, download all necessary widgets (every widget is made for viewing some website, blog, rss feed etc., it could be a gem, media viewer or anything else) and plug it in electric socket. Everything will be downloaded via wi-fi, and you can control the device with touchscreen and stock sensors – those four tactile “buttons” on edges. Yeah, you squeeze this soft insets and they’ll work like actual buttons.

My opinion is that Chumby could be a good replacement for usual kitchen or bedroom TV. It can replace such usual things as morning newspaper or night movie viewing. The main disadvantage that it’s still not a portable gadget, but anyway it is worth its price – $179.95 (free shipping).

Famous Korean manufacturer announced the launch of its new media player. It will appear in Korean stores first, than worldwide. It is no surprise that this player itself looks like very similar to iPods. Looks like every media player manufacturer tries to imitate iPod’s design.

But there’s nothing special about it. The main feature of YP-T10 that it’s the first portable media player with bluetooth support! That means that you can use wireless headphones, Samsung YP-T10 allows you to use two pairs of bluetooth earphones simultaneously.

There’s no information about its retail price for worldwide sale, all that we know is that it will be available in 5 colors: midnight black, mystic purple, maple red, lime yellow, and white cloud and will come in 2GB and 4 GB variants.
