Hello Kitty zapper

Most of us will be very familiar with the OSIM uZap. A big belt straped onto your waist and will vibrate with a click of a button. Now all you Hello Kitty fans out there, you can lose those inches while looking good with the Hello Kitty Slender Shaper. I'm just curious if anyone would actually buy one of those things but you'll never know...

Transformer from a Citroen C2

A few guys in China (must be ultimate transformer fans) build an actual sized transformer like robot based on a Citroen C2 car. It stands 14 feet tall and weighs in about 600 Kilos. The total project cost them around $8,000 (USD). Transformer fanatics!

Whiten your teeth with iPod... WHAT!!?

Yup, you saw correctly there. Now you can whiten your teeth while listening to your iPod. Huh? What? was the same expressions coming out of my head when I saw this article.

All you need to do is apply some peroxide strips on your teeth, place the mouthpiece into your mouth, turn on your ipod and start listening to your favourite tunes. The way it works, is from the music vibrations that transmit through your bones. By listening to 30 minutes of music you'll find a whiter set of teeth. iWhitening? Weird.... but cool if it really works. Hahah listen to music and get whiter teeth. Weee Hee.. say bye bye to coffee or cigarette stains.

Apple's latest offerings (part 2)

The New iPod Nano

Apple Inc. just proudly released their new iPod nano. Continuing evolving its popular tiny gizmo, Apple have put together a nice package for the new nano. It now looks rather short and stout and the colors have gone rather soft (pro femine I'd say). It however houses a 320-by-240-pixel resolution at 204 pixels per inch on its 2-inch (diagonal) liquid crystal display with blue-white LED backlight.

This cute baby comes in two storage sizes, a 4gb and 8gb flash drive. The new iPod nano will allow you to play thousand of songs, watch your favourite videos, listen to audiobooks, play games, view & store your photos, store your contacts and there's even a calendar packed in there.

The new iPod nano will cost you USD$ 149 for the 4gb and USD$199 for the 8gb. Hmm.. very tempting. Christmas will be coming in 3 months time. Santa, I've been a good boy this year, Can I have the new iPod nano please?

Apple's latest offerings (part 1)

Apple iPod Touch

Apple inc. just launched its latest range of products and one of them is the Apple iPod Touch. Why touch you might ask? Well its simple, the folks at Apple have just combined the idea of an Ipod with that cool touch feature everyone is talking about on the iPhone and the result, Ipod Touch.
The iPod Touch resembles very much like the iPhone except it isn't a phone. Its your ordinary iPod with a twist. It houses a very nice 3.5 inch wide screen display so you can watch your videos and photos. It does what an iPod used to do, which is to play hordes of music stored in its 8gb or 16gb storage space. But now the guys at apple have ingeniously integrated a Wi-Fi to it, allowing you to web browse and watch those favourite videos on youtube, how cool is that?

And now the crunch time, how much to fork out for all those goodies packed in a nice slim cool looking device? The 8gb would cost you USD$299 and the 16gb, USD$399 (only 100 bucks difference for double the size, I'd say its a fair deal).

For us folks here in Malaysia, that will be about RM1,050 for the 8gb and RM1,400 for the 16gb (direct conversation base on current rates). However I doubt we'll get it at those prices, try topping that with another RM 200- 300 for taxes and absurd marketing strategies.

If you are persistent in getting it, then just head down to Singapore. It will be cheaper compared to Malaysia and you get to go for a holiday on top of that. *Please note traveling to Singapore and back will probably add up and costs the same if you had just got it here.

No worries in getting warranty issues, as owners can register their products online. So it doesn't matter where you purchased your iPod, as long you've purchased an authentic one from their authorised dealers.

Apple would you send me one for me to write a review on this? *fingers crossed.... tee hee
