Target is trying to do their bit to help out breast cancer victims by offering special edition iPod Shuffles that come in pink. Each $79 purchase will come with a $15 iTunes gift card for you to get started with your digital music collection if you’re just hopping aboard for the first time. What’s more, proceeds from this purchase will end up in the coffers of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Do shake a leg if you want to do your bit of charity as supplies seem to be extremely limited.

Xbox Australia has decided to do its bit for the less fortunate by kicking off a bunch of charity events to commemorate the best-selling Halo 3 title by including Red v Blue MP battles featuring Australian celebrities and sportsmen, fan competitions that involve Netizens and radio listeners, and auctions of 15 autographed, individually painted consoles that feature the likenesses of artists such as Justin Timberlake, Talib Kweli, Ice Cube, (the uber hot) Rhianna, the Pussycat Dolls, Snoop Dogg and Kanye West. Not only that, these consoles will come with matching celebrity signatures to boot. The charities that will benefit from this move include Make-A-Wish Australia.

Bose has breaking news that they will be creating a PC speaker system that will make subwoofers somewhat ‘obsolete’.  With tiny aluminum encased speakers, Bose claims you will find yourself hearing wonderful bass through them.

The Bose Computer MusicMonitor has been carried forth with much bravado and excitement.  Bose announced the breaking news and is following up with sample tracks recorded for Bose.  Reviewers that heard them claim they are impressed but are staying reserved.

The system will cost $399 and is targeted for laptop and desktop computer users.  They connect via your headphone jack and if you’re seeking a nice way to save space, they are a great option. 

You can already find the Bose Companion II Series Multimedia Speaker System for only $99 and this one is also focused on saving you space but giving you great sound.  (featured in photo)

Finding the perfect placement for a subwoofer when organizing your home entertainment setup can sometimes be your only headache.  Infinity has worked to alleviate this problem and allow you more strategic placement.

The PS212W needs no cable connection, only a power source.  This can help you to create that sound you want and you can avoid running a wire across the room.  Simply attach a 2.4-GHz. transmitter to the subwoofer jack in the back of the receiver and you’ve got the powerful sound without the annoying wires.  Jam with your 12 inch, 400-watt amplifier and save yourself some trouble.

JBL will also offer a version of this with a 300-watt, 10 inch CSS10W model.  A little more modest on price, this will offer you the same portability that you find with the Infinity choice but not make you miss out on quality.

Still searching for that perfect case for your iPhone but haven’t found the style you want just yet?  Take a peek at the Golla Vertical Bliss pouch.  New and trendy, these pouches will take you from ordinary to original.

There is a D-ring attached at the top to keep your pouch connected to your favorite purse or backpack.  Top loading makes this easy to use and quick to store your iPhone, with padded materials to keep it cozy and safe inside the pouch.  Clip it or use the included lanyard to carry your phone with you.

What I love the most about the design is the included extra storage pockets that you can tuck away your bluetooth or some extra cash and ID, making this an excellent way to minimize what you carry.  Leave your purse behind and just carry the necessities! 

For under $20 you can sport this pouch.  Visit the main site for many other case options, too!  Just click "products" and head over to the "mobile" category.  I had lots of fun browsing the different styles.  The materials they make the cases from are extremely fun!

With all the hype surrounding the Armani phone being released in Europe, I’m surprised no one’s mentioned that it has a built-in rape alarm. I think that’s a safety feature worth talking about, don’t you? The Daily Mail picked up on it and wrote a pretty good description of what it does. It seems the built-in rape alarm function can be triggered through jeans or heavy material including a leather bag. It works like this: You pre-program the number of five of you closest relatives and friends into the mobile under a special contact group. If you ever feel your life is in danger or you think you’re being followed, you simply press the volume button four times to activate a safety feature that sends out SOS text messages to those in your emergency contact list. That prompts them to call you to gauge your situation, and respond accordingly by calling the police. The alarm also triggers a the phone’s built-in GPS tracking system that locates the owners exact whereabouts. It’s definitely an interesting feature, and one I wouldn’t mind having on my iPhone.

I love my iPhone. I mean LOVE it. I hate that it sits inside a crappy case that has no screen protector, and isn’t even worthy of holding such a wonderful gadget. I’ve had my sights set on a Vaja case, but I’ve been waiting for one like the i-Volution Crystal 2. Seriously, this case is to die for. It has Swarovski crystals embedded, a beautiful design that actually covers the screen, and on the back a wrist-strap for clumsy girls like myself. It’s just so damn chic. You can select the color of the leather and the crystals, and you can even have your name engraved on the case. The only problem is it costs $220! That’s almost the price of the phone itself.  What must a girl do? I’m adding this to my Christmas list, and will be very dissapointed if I don’t get it.

So you got an iPhone, and don’t want to cover it in just any plastic or leather case, eh? Well L-R-G or Lifted Research Group has gone all out teaming up with Monster Cable (huh?) to design nine cases in bright colors just for your iPhone. You may remember L-R-G designed the very camouflage Sidekick last year, so they’re no strangers to the world of high tech toys. This time around, their LRG cases for iPhone are making a bold statement with bright colors, funny names (like Flyboy and Purple People Eater), and touches of bling like the detachable gold keychain in the shape of the LRG logo. They will begin selling online and at participating Apple stores for $50. You heard it here first!
