All stuff that I personally, would very much like to receive.

Who doesn’t need a regular tshirt refresh? I prefer a new round of tshirts approximately twice a year. I like the comfort, but have to keep myself looking good and put together don’t you know. Land’s End makes a great shirt. 100% cotton, sewn side seams for a more comfortable fit. Resists fading, pilling, wrinkling, shrinkage and staining.

3.  Apple 1GB iPod shuffe - Unbelievable price of $27 at eCost!

I am a big iPhone devotee, however I have found that while I am exercising worrying about dropping my expensive toy messes with my concentration. The tiny shuffle is what I need in this situation. Just clip this tiny wearable digital music player to your sleeve, your belt or your gym shorts for a little music wherever you go. Offered for the almost unbelievable price of $27.00 from eCost.

A decent pair of trainers (or not) can make all the difference in the world as to whether I make it to the gym or not. Another item that I need refreshed every year, if not twice. The Air Edge Trainer is a simple training shoe providing everything that one needs and everything I don’t. Lightweight mesh with synthetic overlays. Reinforced stability zones.

I already own an iPhone, I actually got the very first version (well truth is it was gifted to me, I couldn’t afford it otherwise) and I immediately upgraded with the 16GB version when it was released….and well now.. I WANT THE NEW ONE!

Fact of the matter is it is hands down the coolest phone I have ever owned! And the easiest to use, from the moment I got the iPhone I never had to read thru a manuel or fidget with instructions, it is amazingly self explanatory and functional. Plus you will find once you join the world of iPhone users your friends and family who own them are only too happy to share cool apps they can’t live without or nifty short cuts they discovered or learned along the way.

It is quite a helpful little Apple family you join when you are an iPhone user. It was funny when my friends’ group was divided by team iPhone and team Blackberry. No matter what side you root for it is a general consensus amongst both groups that the iPhone is younger, hipper and well just plain “cooler”.

On top of sleek aesthetics it is really quite an awesome gadget. Fully customizable to whatever your user goals are. It is literally a phone, an iPod and an internet device all rolled up into one! There are literally thousands of applications for you to choose from, for health, buisness, or entertainment.

Here are some of the “NEW” features:

• Built in Video Camera
• FASTER!
• Cut, Copy, Paste Features
• MMS messaging
• Voice Control
• Spotlight Search
• Messages - send texts, videos, photos and more

Ahhh!! I want it! I’m feeling that Apple itch…

Starting at $199 for the Applie iPhone 3Gs and the $99 for the Apple iPhone 3G - You can try to preorder yours here: Buy New Apple iPhone 3G

Good luck!

Well it’s happened, she’s lost the crown. The Apple iPhone, that smart, sexy device that seemed to be on everyone’s must have list, has been outdistanced in sales by the Blackberry Curve. Has Apple dropped the ball somehow, lost it’s hip appeal? Hardly. The iPhone is certainly a super cool device with lots to offer. However this tectonic shift has me got to thinking about the reasons for it all. What does the Blackberry Curve have on the iPhone?

• Well the Blackberry Curve is smaller. Not that the iPhone is a bulky piece of gear, we’ve all seen it and we know it isn’t. The iPhone clocks in at 2.4 inches wide and 4.5 inches tall. The Curve is almost a half inch shorter, which means disengaging it from your pocket is that much easier.

• The Blackberry Curve also has a physical Qwerty keyboard. Not that the touch screen keys on the iPhone are terrible or anything…but I gotta say, I’ve typed and retyped many an email on the iPhone because of that virtual keyboard. Maybe my fingers are just fat. I’ve gotten used to it (kinda), but there has been many a time when I’ve cursed the heavens and would have given my kingdom for a physical qwerty (usually when I’ve been drinking).

• The Curve has many a feature the iPhone doesn’t: many of the models have GPS functionality, video recording, Adobe Flash for watching video, and a flash for the camera. Apple will most likely fix some of these issues come this summer when they release their new model, but that’s not until SUMMER whereas the curve is NOW! We will see how everything plays out then.
• Last but not least, buying a Curve is a lot cheaper. About a hundred bucks cheaper with a two year contract.

So are these reasons for me to give up my iPhone and go with Blackberry? Well I don’t know about all of that…I will say it’s crossed my mind.
