Part 1 mentioned how you can continue using your Windows skills by installing Parallels or Bootcamp on your Mac. In Part 2, I gave you some easy tips on how to convert yourself by getting used to Mac OS hotkeys.  Part 3 of switching to the Mac, is an informational guide of some of the cool applications that are available for your Mac.

I’m going to just touch up on a few of the applications, but Peter Baer wrote a blog entry of tons of applications for a Mac in: Business, Communication, Development, Editors, iTunes/iPod, Miscellaneous, Multimedia, Networking, Organizing, System, Utility, Web, Widgets.

If you have any applications that you like to use with your Mac, let me know! I’m interested in hearing about them.

Samsung has released a sports version of their digital camera line that includes 3G connectivity.  The VLUU i70 Digicam has a 7.2 megapixel CCD, a 3" LCD and doubles as a media player with HSPDA included for 3G high speed connections.

This high speed connection will enable you to upload photos instantly to the Internet (with a service plan that is separately signed up for) and share them with friends and family almost as fast as you can take them.  There is also an option to text message on the camera and it seems full of extended features we haven’t seen on digital cameras just yet.

That’s right, the rumor is that Samsung will release this camera soon and you’ll get to see just how easy it is to share photos and keep in touch with others while at the same time, listening to your favorite music.  I’m not sure how well a digital camera with these options will sell in comparison to a cellphone but hey, it’s worth a peek!

What more do you need while working out?

This one’s for TRAVEL!  And what Techie Diva doesn’t take a few trips a year to those lovely gadget conventions?

Enjoy them even more with the pink travel kit that includes many needed items.  A collapsible steam iron, a powerful mini hairdryer (why use the white hotel one?) with plug adapters for both.

It also has a passport holder, baggage tag and a set of bottles for your shampoo, conditioner or other needed liquids.

Also, you get a 3-digit padlock so you can lock it up in your pink case and keep your personal items away from prying eyes.  I think one of the best things in the case is the steam iron.  I hate trying to pack so that nothing gets wrinkled…it’s nearly impossible!

Girlie gadgets are always rearing their head and many know the market is growing.  Not just because it’s pink does it make it for girls only…but sometimes what is IN the product.

This tool set includes a three-way multi-torch (it’s pink, yes) with a flashing hazard lamp and 360° directional spotlight and fluorescent strip (magnetically attachable).  An emergency break-out hammer with LED light and safety blade in case you need to cut your seat belt.

It also has a well thought-out addition of an emergency mobile phone charger with adapters that can be used with most Motorola, Nokia, Siemens & Sony Ericsson model cellphones.  My kit has that missing and I think that would be a good addition to it.

Also included are jump leads, notepad and pencil, ice scraper, disposable hygienic gloves, car tax disc holder, air freshener (not really an emergency item, is it?) and a soft pink case.  I hope there is enough room in the pretty pink bag for me to add things.  You can never be too prepared, right?

I don’t know whether to rejoice or cut all my hair off like that crazy Bridezilla chick on YouTube, but is the whole LED and Swarovski crystal fad a little too freaking outta control? Ok, we get it. We like cheeky stuff with lights, bling, mirrors, and cute LEDs. The reason some of us even allowed the use of gaudy, blingy, and ostentatious use of these materials on every day items was to keep our men away from them, thus eliminating the slight chance that they might claim ownership of our precious gizmos. Maybe someday, we’ll take over the car industry, and the military–although I didn’t have much success with that. But for now, lets keep the bling off the make-up shall we? Please. It really serves no purpose.

Ewww, not the best title, but I’ll keep it. GeekSugarlicious post on DecalGirl’s super awesome Wii Skins in bright colors definitely got my attention. I mean look at that thing, it’s so…pink.

I absolutely love this skin, and had I kept the Wii I’m now giving away to one of you, I might just have gotten one. If you’re lucky enough to have your own Wii, and feel like pinkie-fying it, then by all means shell out the $15 even if it’s to have others ooohing and ahhhing over it. Guys, macho men, metrosexuals, there are lots of skins to choose from, so don’t let the pink version turn you off.
