Going ga-ga over ‘HeartBeats by Lady Gaga’

I’m going to sound a little biased here because I absolutely love Lady Gaga and my Beats headphones, so I’m literally going ga-ga over the new in-ear headphones called HeartBeats by Lady Gaga. These metallic earpieces were designed by LadyGaga herself so you know they’re going to be edgy and glam with a hint of techno goodness. Three jewel-shaped metallic versions will be available in silver, black, and red chrome when Monster Cable releases them October for a cool $99.99 -$149.95. If you’re an iPhone owner, you’ll like the ControlTalk feature that places your club music on hold so you can answer your phone. Those of you who hate tangled wires, will no doubt love Monster’s signature flat cables which also include a high grade microphone with an answer button. Heartbeats are compatible with the most music devices including the iPhone 3Gs and the some Blackberry models.  (Via Popgadget)

Don’t get caught Twittering at work

Some people spend way too much time on social networks during working hours, and some of them end up getting in big trouble or even fired.  Spreadtweet is a great way to hide your Twitter addiction at work because this application looks like a boring Excel spreadsheet. Tweets are displayed in plain text on the sheet, and are even numbered, but the best part is you can also update your Twitter page by typing in the top text box.  The fake spreadsheet is available for PC and Mac users,  so there’s no excuse folks. The New York Times says it only takes seconds to get it up and running, and because it looks so authentic, you’ll be able to fool curious co-workers peering over your shoulder as they walk by your cube. Only problem is this method won’t save you from getting in trouble if your boss has subscribed to your Twitter feed.

iFrogz offers something different with new earbuds

iFrogz intends to differentiate itself from the earbuds marketplace with its new truly customizable version that will keep control freaks happy. First off, you will need to choose from a white, grey or black base before moving on to other customization options, including the rim of the earbud. What’s more interesting is the ability to customize the back of the earbud with your artwork of choice. You have tons of designs to choose from, retailing for $19.99 a pop (the earbuds themselves). Needless to say, you can purchase more than a single pair to color co-ordinate with different outfits.

Dolby Volume to work with iPods

Dolby has been marketing its audio leveling system known as Dolby Volume for a fair amount of time already, and the company is also hard at work on a much smaller chip that would fit in perfectly with MP3 players. It is hoped that the optimized second generation version that will come in a much smaller form factor will also work with Apple’s range of iPods - it would be a pity (for financial and other reasons) for Dolby not to jump onto the iPod bandwagon, considering just how this diminutive portable media player has spread its influence far and wide across the hears. After all, who wouldn’t want Dolby technology that helps keep bass intact even when you wind down the sound?

Aigo MP5-MK3510 portable media player

Anything to do with Formula 1 is definitely expensive - have you taken a look at the amount they charge for concessions at any Formula 1 event? Those are even higher than what 5-star hotels charge, and the fan gear you pick up are definitely not worth the price, although you do have bragging rights to friends and family who see you wear those. Aigo’s gotten off their butts to make full use of their Formula 1 racing McLaren Mercedes sponsorship by rolling out the MP5-MK3510 - a portable media player that features a 4.3″ display at 480 x 272 resolution, support for RM, RMVB, AVI, FLV, DAT, MPG, MPEG and MP3, WMA, FLAC, APE with BBE and SRS file formats, an electronic book reader, an integrated FM tuner and a photo viewer. There is no word on pricing, but hopefully it won’t be too expensive and neither should it be too easy on your pockets lest sub-par materials are used within.

Philips GoGear LUXE MP3 player does more than just music

Philips is back in the groove where MP3 players are concerned with the GoGear LUXE from its GoGear portable audio player range. At first glance, I was fooled into thinking this was a miniature Nokia Prism handset from afar, but upon closer inspection, I realized that I won’t be able to make any phone calls from this, but instead use it to playback my favorite MP3 tunes only. In addition to being a portable audio player, it also doubles up as a Bluetooth headset that features a built-in microphone to answer any incoming calls. Other technologies include active noise canceling, a one-line display to relay basic information, an integrated FM tuner, 2GB of storage space and proprietary audio enhancement technology that helps remove audio compression artifacts for clearer audio. You will be able to choose from red, silver and a chromed shell (the latter in the future), as long as you’re willing to part with $94 for the GoGear LUXE when it is launched in Singapore this November.

Rockola Mystic Touch Screen Digital Jukebox

It seems to be intuitive enough to use without a manual, and here are some of the specifications of this £3,295 ($5,800) monstrosity.

Teddy bear notebook speakers

Can’t think of a gift for your other half? Well, if she’s into all sorts of fluffy toys and laces, then this pair of teddy bear notebook speakers look as though they are enough to do the trick. The brown and white bear will house a speaker with a relatively weak 2W of power each, but then again these are not meant to blast heavy stuff like death metal or rock music, instead, it will do very nicely with ballads and instrumentals. Measuring 19cm x 15.5cm x 9cm and connected via USB, you don’t have to worry about batteries or carrying around another power adapter since it will draw juice directly from the USB port itself. Good thing this works with compatible portable media players thanks to a 3.5mm headphone jack. $22.99 is all Sourcing Map is asking for this pair of uber cute speakers.
