DigiDudes bring attitude to your tripod
Posted by Mark Rollins Categories: Accessories, Cameras,
You could spend money on the new Sony Partyshot to take lots of pictures at any given time, but you will need to get one of Sony’s new cameras. However, if you just want the camera in one place, and would like to have more fun with the traditional tripod, then we highly recommend the DigiDudes. As you can see, these guys have a removeable head that allows your camera to be placed securely on its body with the pull-out legs. They retail for $19.99, and have individual personalities like Pinky Scorsese, iChomp, Snot Buster (why not?) G-bling-Money-Son, and BoltBot.

MoPods: Cutest Cell Phone Accessory Ever!
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Accessories, Smartphones, Toys,
If you’re no longer infatuated with your cell phone, here’s something to rekindle the love: MoPods! They’re small characters and animals that live in a dome…and alert you to incoming calls by spinning and flashing! The cool thing is that the MoPod doesn’t need to be attached to your phone to work. The charm can be worn on clothes, keychains, bags, or of course the phone. Perfect for when your phone must be in “silent” mode, or just to express your inner child. Choose from a devil, puppy, kitten, monster, monkey, and the cutest one….the penguin. Note that MoPods only work on the GSM network, not 3G, which means Verizon customers are out of luck. Available for $10 USD.

Sidewinder For iPhone
Posted by Jenny Lewis Categories: Accessories, Apple, Smartphones, Portable Audio / Video,
The search for the perfect iPhone case is an arduous task. Screen protection, side button access, clips, card slots, maybe even a stand—the list of secondary duties that a case can perform is growing almost daily. Marware’s Sidewinder for iPhone offers another entry in the list of case functions—earphone organization.
If you’re using the stock iPhone earbuds (or any other earbud-style headphones), the Sidewinder will keep them tangle free and wrapped around a slide out arm. The arm also sports a cutout that holds Apple’s Bluetooth earpiece. The iPhone can be mounted in the holster with the screen facing out or in. The Multidapt clip on the back rotates 360 degrees, can be used as a stand for vertical or horizontal viewing, and can be switched out for any of the other Multidapt accessories.
Sidewinder for iPhone retails for $24.99 and Multidapt accessories range in price from $4.99 to $19.99 USD.

Introducing the Geek Awareness Bracelet
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Accessories, Wearables,
Remember back in the 2004, when it was all about Lance Armstrong’s yellow rubber Livestrong bracelets to benefit cancer research? Even though the trend is passe, that didn’t stop the folks at ThinkGeek from creating a decidedly nerdy version of its own. According to the website, the silicone accessory allows the wearer to promote “geek awareness in every aspect of life.” The yellow bracelet states: “Tux is my homeboy”, the black one: “ThinkGeek”, and the olive one: “I see fragged people.” Wear at your own risk, amigos. Available for $2 USD.
