    69adget’s OhMiBod Freestyle Review

    The OhMiBod Freestyle Vibrator lets you DJ your own orgasm - literally. The vibrator wirelessly connects with your iPod or iPhone and vibrates along with the beat. Perfect for those of you who get turned on by the hot new Jay-Z song (or Ricky Martin, it’s cool, he’s on my playlist too), whatever your music of choice may be, this vibrator will redefine the way you look at your iPod.

  • Video Review: Case-Mate Barely There

    Video Review: Case-Mate Barely There

    It's $29.99, it's thin, and it can hold two credit cards. It's the Case-Mate Barely There ID case. I've always wanted to stop carrying a wallet and I'm not sure this is quite the solution I'm looking for but it may work for those who just need one credit card and driver's license at all times.

Two videos after the jump.

In fact, in February Sony senior vice president Mike Abary called the whole netbook market “a race to the bottom.” That’s right. Sony denied that it would make a netbook. So, as night follows day, we now have the Vaio W. A netbook. From [...]

    Remember the iPhone Nano? It was a sure thing, based on designs of silicon cases leaked by a third party manufacturer. Oh, wait. No it wasn’t. The fire of speculation licked higher as the gasoline of rumor was sloshed and splattered around the internet, only to fizzle under the halon blanket of Apple’s silence. Then again, [...]

    Penguin announces 10 in 1 travel pack

    So one thing I've noticed when looking at the accessory packs for handheld gaming units, is that they usually have a bunch of crap you don't need. I mean, who actually uses an individual plastic case for each of their games? It's silly. The people at Penguin agree with me, and they've produced their "10 in 1 Travel kit" that appears to only have the stuff you actually want, and they skip the extra stuff to keep the cost down.
