I fully admit, I am caught up in the prettiness and sleekness of the expensive Apple and Microsoft mp3 players but hey, it is really just about the music, right? You really don’t have to spend a ton of money on an mp3 player to be able to listen to your favorite tunes.

For instance, the Omnitech mp3 player (pictured above) retails for $39.99. It’s small, so it’s easy to use while you’re exercising. If you’re anything like me, occasionally dropping or banging electronic gadgets, you’d be more likely to use something small and lightweight while on the treadmill. This Omnitech mp3 player fits the bill. Here are the features:

* MP3 power at a fantastic value
* Available in 2GB (Blue)
* Provides up to eight hours of playback time
* Includes FM radio tuner/recorder along with voice recorder and 1.0” screen for easy viewing and navigating
* Available in Staples retail locations beginning Holiday 2008

Lucky for you or the person you would gift it to, we’re giving one of these Omnitech mp3 players away.

UPDATE: CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR FLIP ULTRA VIDEO CAMCORDER WINNERS!

flipultra orange Flip Ultra Digital Camcorder

Where should I begin? I LOVE this tiny digital camcorder! I am completely addicted to my Flip Ultra Digital camcorder. It’s the perfect size that I can tote around with me wherever I go. I’m always recording something or other (that’s me – total randomness).

I have recorded concert footage and actually received feedback about how excellent the sound and video quality is. You can record up to an hour of footage on The Flip. It is so easy to plug in and transfer videos with a few clicks of a button to sites like YouTube, AOL video, Myspace and other websites. I have been uploading some of my videos straight to NewBaby.com. Works like a charm every time.

There are three Flip models on the market: The Flip Ultra (pictured above), the Flip Mino and Mino HD (just a tad smaller than the Ultra) The newest model is the Mino HD. It records in, you guessed it, High Definition. Ultimately, the features on each model are very similar in comparison (price point varies).

We’re so thrilled to host a giveaway with Flip for TWO Flip Ultra Digital Camcorders (colors vary).

Zivio Boom by Joby

*Congratulations to our winner, Karen!

zivio teaser trim Zivio Boom by Joby

I’ve been using my Zivio Boom Bluetooth for several months now and I love this fabulous little headset! It’s sleek and pretty, to boot. The sound quality is exceptional and I have had no complaints from my callers. I think that can be attributed to the Zivio’s boom. It’s a law here in Chicago that you’re “hands-free” while driving. So, I’m doing it in style!

We’re giving one of these beauties away. Fill out the entry form below for your chance to win. This giveaway ends on Wednesday, November 12th. A winner will be selected randomly and notified via email (check your spam) on the morning of the 13th. We’ll also announce the winner on this post.

*Hint: To enter, we’re asking you a question below. Click HERE and see the “specs” section and then “Why the Boom?” to pick an answer!

Products: MusicSkins

October 07, 2008 By: Eric Category: Products

My old iPod is scratched up like crazy so if I ever get another one, I’ll need some protection. I could get a gel case, a hard acrylic case, or even a leather pouch, but they are all a bit too bulky. One cool alternative is to slap MusicSkins on your device. They are skins made from premium grade 3M vinyl with a high gloss over laminate and adhesive that removes without leaving a residue. Yeah, these are basically durable protective stickers that will protect your iPod or other device from scratches while making it look sweet. You can get designs from groups like Saves The Day, Thrice, Dr. Manhattan, Young Jeezy, Senses Fail, and tons more like Obama and McCain designs. My wife is rocking a red Alkaline Trio design on her iPod while I’ve got a Coheed & Cambria logo on mine. I’ve actually had at least a half dozen of my co-workers comment about the MusicSkin on my iPod and even if some of them think it now looks a bit strange, at least my keys aren’t still scratching it up when I throw it in my pocket.
