aliph-jawbone-bluetooth-headset.jpg I'm in the market for a new bluetooth headset and in my research Aliph Jawbone Bluetooth Headset seems to hit all the marks for me. Honored with the 2007 Good Design Award, the Jawbone was designed by Yves Béhar of fuseproject for Aliph - a leading developer of mobile audio products focusing on providing the best user experience in any environment.

So well designed, the Jawbone was even featured in an exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The Jawbone comes in black, red and silver and works with all bluetooth compatible mobile phones, including iPhones (8GB and 16GB models) where you'll find Jawbone sold alongside iPhones at all Apple Stores.

Form meets function here as well with this headset. The Jawbone virtually eliminates all background noise thanks to the Noise Shield technology, an advanced, military-grade noise-canceling system that continuously adapts to your changing environment to deliver and receive unparalleled audio quality.

I don't know about you, but I am really good at storing the digital pictures we take, but when it comes to actually printing them out to put in a frame, an album or a scrapbook, it just doesn't get done. I have a printer that even is dedicated for photo printing, but even still, if it isn't in the moment, they tend to be stored away for a "rainy day."

Polaroid has come out with a new mobile digital printer that is small (120mm (4.7") H X 72mm (2.8") W X 23.5mm (0.9") D) and lightweight (8 ounces without paper included in it) making it a mobile accessory that is easy to set up and print from instantly. The Instant Mobile Printer seems like the instant gratification much like the Polaroid One Step "Instamatic" camera I used to love as a kid, but with 21st Century technology called ZINK (zero ink). What makes this so extraordinique to me is their innovative new way of printing quality photos without a drop of ink.

According to Polaroid, "ZINK Paper is an advanced composite material with embedded yellow, magenta and cyan dye crystals, activated with 200 million heat pulses, in 30 seconds, in a single pass. With 100 billion crystals in a 2x3" print, the paper is 100% inkless. A ZINK-enabled printer uses heat to activate and colorize these crystals. Because there is no ink, every ZINK-enabled device has the unique benefits of being small, simple, elegant, and eco-friendly."

If you are looking an instant mobile printer for your digital and camera phone, check this out. The way Polaroid puts it, "enjoy (your pics) instantly, anywhere."

Great idea! Don't mind if I do! :)

It used to be that configuring your personal computer for what was on the "inside" was the most important in your purchasing decision, but now personal expression -- what your laptop looks like on the outside is just as important. Relegated to the typical "black and grey" or "grey and black" outer shell for most PCs (not Mac's of course), this year may be the year where diversity, creativity and personal expression really shine in the marketplace.

Ego, Winner of the Microsoft Fashion PC Award, at last week's 2008 CES Show, has pushed the envelope making the notebook laptop as sophisticated and elegant as a luxury handbag.  Now, with four different collections to choose from, including two additional limited edition collections by designers, Monique Collignon and Jan des Bouivre,  Ego offers a large selection of choices in finishing, art-work, fabrics and the finest quality leathers. You can even have more than one skin for your notebook for any and all occasions.

Including a handle to clutch on the go, the Ego Lifestyle notebooks definitely make a fashion statement from the boardroom to a weekend getaway.
