I can’t wait…as the time draws closer, I am getting more and more excited over this phone and a few weeks ago I wasn’t even wanting to buy one.
PLEASE T-mobile include GTalk in this Sidekick, and it will be the ultimate phone.
After being in a car this past weekend with a TomTom 300 and none of us knowing where to go, I determined the TomTom might not be the best solution out there.
Anyone have any experience with GPS units?
I am currently thinking about the:

TomTom 300

TomTom 500

or leaning toward the Garmin c340.
The Garmin tells you which street name to turn on, not just “turn ahead” like the TomTom does. This would seem to make things easier in a city you were unfamiliar with.
Anyone used any of these models or at least know where to find a decent review? Thanks for the info.
The very popular metraverse, Second Life is now a Universal Binary. You can download it here.
There are tons of updates to this latest download 1.10 that you can read about on the Community blog.
T-mobile has now added 3 colors to the PEBL line, blue, orange, and green in addition to basic black.

These phones come with bluetooth, Camera, voice recognition, and quad-band technology.
Not my favorite phone, but it is a nifty flip phone.
Looks as if Nike and Apple’s iPod have teamed up to bring us tools for working out. Currently it seem to only work on the iPod nano.
There are three pieces of equiptment that tie into this partnership, although I only see 2 as necessary to get it to work.
First: An iPod nano

This seems to be the essential piece of equiptment to get it all to start working.
Second: Nike+iPod Sport Kit

This is the second piece of the puzzle. It includes a wireless reciever that is plugged into the iPod and one that goes in/on your shoe. It would seem that you can attach it to any shoe and it would still work, although trying to attach it will spawn some creative ideas I’m sure.
This isn’t out yet, but is expected to be out in about 30 days.
Third: Nike+ Shoes

There are about 16 different styles of these shoes. They all have a compartment in the bottom to put the reciever. The shoes range in price from $85 to $130. The $130 model includes the Nike+iPod kit.
Now these items all work together with iTunes. There are special work out tracks in the iTunes store that help you get “motivated” on your run. After you are finished, you sync up to track your speed/distance and compare with other days.
Seems to be a great solution for people who work out…too bad I got my mom a iPod mini.
