Fashion? WTF!

I usually don’t get fashion. I’m not stylin’ or groovin’ the latest trends. You’re likely to find me wearing cargo pants/shorts, jeans or sweatpants. It’s comfortable and I prefer to be comfortable rather than look like I was spit out of the latest fashion magazine.

But sometimes, on a rare occasion, a fashion show will catch my eye or I’ll be forwarded something that makes me do a double take, and no it’s not the many see through shirts and dresses I’m talking about here.

Android is here!

The first hardware running Google’s open source OS “Android” has finally arrived. I first saw the news announcement over at Engadget. No doubt they face a pretty daunting market with the iPhone and Blackberries dominating much of the sales and with good reason. Might explain why they’re launching it for $179 with a 2-year T-Mobile contract, but more surprisingly you can get the phone for “only” $399 contract free. If you’re already a T-mobile subscriber you’re in luck, they are taking pre-orders for you faithful customers already.

Amazon has aligned itself with the new handset giving you access to their MP3 store, so obviously they’re aiming to be a music device too. So explain to me, where the hell is the standard 3.5mm jack?

Micro Mosquito 3.0

Radioshack came out with a new Micro Mosquito helicopter over the summer (link) making it version number 3.0. It’s pretty easy to recognize now since it’s black and orange instead of black with green LED’s.

Overall the helicopter looks a little more polished and more like a bug instead of a science experiment. Not sure I prefer the new model over the old one. The old one had a cool feel to it and looked home made almost. The new body has been curved and looks more like a bug with orange decals and orange covers over the eyes. It also grew another set of legs which does help with landing and balancing the helicopter in my opinion.
