caddie Vaja Caddie Collection Cases Include a Leather Bag to Carry Your Gadgets InVaja, a company renown for their quality leather gadget cases has a new Caddie collection for the Motorola Razr V3 & V3i, Palm Treo 700 series and the iPod video 30, 60 & 80GB. Each case comes with a matching leather bag which we consider to be very practical, because even if your gadget is wearing a case, a small bag is needed to insure extra protection against spills, crumbs and other harsh elements. And similarly to other Vaja cases, you can also customize your own Caddie model by choosing from several leather colors, and you can also have your name or logo embossed on the backside of the case.

VTraveller Skype Phone is Cheap But Not a Piece of Junk

January 30, 2007

vtraveller VTraveller Skype Phone is Cheap But Not a Piece of JunkThe VTraveller Skype Phone is an affordably priced Skype phone that doesn’t look like it’s junk like so many other inexpensive Skype phones do. The $29.99 device features Keypad dialing, personalized ring tones, one click voicemail and a LED indicator for calls. Unfortunately the VTraveller doesn’t sport an LCD display, but for this price it’s hard to complain, especially since the package throws in a carry case, a 30 minute SkypeOut voucher, as well as a voucher for 2 months of Skype Voicemail.

Windows Vista and Office 2007 Launches and We Try and Launch With It

January 30, 2007

000000035608 Windows Vista and Office 2007 Launches and We Try and Launch With ItAfter attending the Windows Vista and Office 2007 launch today, I can breathe a sigh of relief. It feels like Vista has been talked about for ages and now it’s finally here, and I’m hoping that that is a good thing.
As tempting as it has been, I waited until Vista’s launch to actually install Vista on any of my computers. Beta testing the operating system this past year didn’t tempt me much, even though I did follow the saga as it unfolded. At last, the big day has finally came and went and I now have a fresh copy of Windows Vista installed on my laptop. The slick new Aero interface and all of Vista’s new tricks are impressing me more and more. But when it comes down to it all, what I care most about is performance and that is what would encourage me to upgrade and to tell others to upgrade. Vista eats up powerful computer systems but claims to pay you back with superior performance. I’m going to give this whole Vista thing a run, and see if that proves to be true.
Security is also a big issue for me. I’ve mostly enjoyed using Windows XP all these years, but I’m fed up with playing Nancy Drew every other week in the search to discover what spyware or virus is slowing down my system that day. (And yes I have an updated firewall, anti-virus and anti-spyware program running). Anyway, I’m ready to take the plunge - but not completely. My run with Vista will first take place on my laptop. If my expectations are met I’ll take the upgrade to my Desktop as well. I’ll keep you posted about my launch in to Vista.
And not to be left out, Office 2007 has also been launched. I’ve been beta testing it for a while now and I like the new features a lot. Unfortunately, I foresee tech support working overtime to assist the people who can barely function in previous versions of Microsoft Office as it is. The new ribbon interface is pretty intuitive, but people tend to have a hard time adopting to change, especially when the structure of a program has remained pretty static for over a decade. Is it worth the upgrade? Office 2007 is pretty solid and it does have a slew of cool new features. So if you have the money to upgrade now, my opinion would be to go for it. However, most folk should be fine holding on to their current version of Office for the meantime.

Hello Kitty’s Cheap Mp3 Player and Matching Docking Station

January 29, 2007

hellokittymp3anddock Hello Kittys Cheap Mp3 Player and Matching Docking StationSpectra has a very pink Hello Kitty MP3 Player that also doubles as a USB stick. The Mp3 player has a pathetic 128mb of on-board memory but it can be expanded to up to 1GB via SD cards. We like the included pink earphones, pink necklace strap and its $49.99 price, but the 5 hour battery life certainly leaves you lusting for more. Which is why you’ll need to get the matching Hello Kitty Docking Station for $19.99, so that you can easily recharge the MP3 player while also listening to tunes off of it.

Init Rubber Notebook Case Suffers from the Measles

January 29, 2007

initcase Init Rubber Notebook Case Suffers from the MeaslesWe’re strangely drawn to this case. Maybe because it reminds us of Connect 4. The Init Rubber Notebook Case is a lightweight and durable rubber laptop case with a slim design and a velvet interior. The oddest part is that the exterior is covered with rubber bumps, but those bumps probably help to shield your laptop from the elements. And for $17.99 we’re willing to break the mold and actually carry one of these around, even if our friends end up making fun of us.

The only caveat is that it currently only works for T-Mobile, Cingular, and AT&T phones, and you must also have internet access.

January 28, 2007

mediadecorqx Media Decors Hide and Chic Series Transforms Your Flat Panel in to a Painting at the Touch of a ButtonThe large flat panel at the center of your living room might be art at its finest to a geek, but perhaps your significant other thinks that the room needs to have traditional art at its center. Media Decor’s Hide and Chic QX Robotic Art Series brings together the best of both worlds by enabling your flat panel to transform in to a framed painting at the touch of a button. The system silently raises the artwork when you want to watch TV and a robotic arm guides the display through the mounted picture frame into the room when you want to show off artwork. Pricing for this neat system begins at $14,350 which will also afford you a choice of over 500 art selections. An art connoisseur might call this a travesty. We call it compromise.

Logik Internet Radio Streams Music Files off of Your PC

January 28, 2007

logik Logik Internet Radio Streams Music Files off of Your PCHere at Chip Chick we advocate buying yourself an internet radio over an XM or Satellite radio. Why? Because internet radio doesn’t require any monthly fees, and heaven knows that we’re all paying too many monthly fees for various services as it is. It just seems wrong to have to pay for radio. That is why we’re totally digging the Logik Internet radio which connects via wi-fi to bring you over 5,000 radio stations. And it also adds icing to the cake with the ability to stream MP3, WMA, AAC, WAV and AIFF files off of your computer’s hard drive. The Logik Internet Radio retails for £129.99.
