The Next 'MediaSnackers Must Have'
[SUMMARY—Hell, I know I want one!]
(WORLD) We all know how much MediaSnackers love their mobile phones, well check the new offering from Sony which will be the next big 'must have'.
Sony's Mylo is many things and has an amazing array of features:
• wi-fi enabled for web-browsing;
• email client;
• holds videos, photos and music;
• Instant messenger;
• normal phone
• (last but not least) a Skype phone (which means free phonecalls anywhere in the world);
The pocked-sized gadget, will sell for about $350/£183 and it's already on my christmas list.
UPDATE: Check out this video.
iPod (& MySpace) Fashion
[SUMMARY—How media technology items are influencing fashion.]
(WORLD) Here's an interesting trend regarding fashion and how it is being led by technology and media.
Levi's are developing a pair of jeans which have iPod pockets in them.
If jeans aren't your 'bag', then try the iSound cap for size.
Not to be outdone, you can now MySpace themed t-sirts.
As outlined in the Influx post (link below), the real gap is in concealing these personal technology items to ensure they don't get stolen. Interesting though!
