Belkin is one of the numerous companies that have a history when it comes to the iPod accessories that are available in the market right now, so they are trying to continue the tradition with their latest iPod Nano 4G cases, called Micra and Fuse.
Targeted at the style-conscious public, the new cases “celebrate the vibrant colors of the nano with graphical and technological enhancementsâ€. In addition, speaking to consumers’ want for cases that act as an extension of their personal style, Belkin’s Micra and Fuse Cases tell us that we don’t have to hide the color of our iPod nano in order to protect itâ€.

The Micra Cases, on one hand, come with a ClearScreen Overlay that is designed to protect the display of your iPod and it’s made of polycarbonate. The Micra Cases are available in the following version: Micra Glam, a case with a touch of sparkle, Micra Dusk, a smoky charcoal case, Micra Chex and Micra Flow. All of these cases cost $19.99 each and $24.99 in a pack of two cases.
As for the Fuse Cases, on the other hand, they were inspired by the bold and bright colors that were all the rage back in the ‘80s. High-gloss polycarbonate was used for the top of the case, while matte-finish polycarbonate was used for the bottom. The Fuse Cases are available in a wide variety of color combinations: blue/black, clear/black, pink/black, purple/black, red/black and yellow/black and they cost the same as the Micra Cases.
All the cases are available for purchase in countries from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, Middle East and U.S, except for the Micra Flow Case, which you’ll be able to find only in Africa, Europe and Middle East.

If you thought that the only character that is able to fascinate your kid is Hello Kitty, already famous, already in the spotlight more than it should, then let me introduce to you Miffy, a cute bunny that has nothing to do with the Easter Bunny, but has something in common with it, as it brings happiness to your little one.
So, if all you want is to put a smile on your kid’s face, then take Miffy into consideration. Created by a Netherlands-based designer, Miffy is a rabbit that apparently is part of some Dutch children’s books. And from the pages of some funny books, it got into the real world, taking the shape of an MP3 player. It’s undoubtedly cute, but I don’t know how many of you would buy this if it weren’t for the grassy dock or for the caprices of your little one.

The digital audio player was made by MobiBLU, which some of you might know for a small, small cube-shaped player that appeared a couple of years ago, and is expected to come out very soon, even if the information about the features list or the price is not available at the moment.
In the meanwhile, try to keep Miffy in mind and put its name in the list your child has with cute bunny names, because when it hits the market, you’d better remember what he/she wants for Christmas.

The summer is here, or almost here, because the last couple of days managed to make us wonder if it’s really hot in here or it’s only our imagination that is playing a nasty trick on us. Whatever might be the case, we will surely need the gadgets and accessories to be compatible with the swimming pool area where we’ll try to refresh ourselves when the sun is burning like hell.
So, if one of your favorite summer activities is to just laze at the pool all day long, then you should not forget a very important aspect that is related to increasing the pleasure. And I’m talking about music. You should never neglect the power of music, because it can work miracles exactly when you most need it.

So, here you have a waterproof speaker that is designed to float on water, right beside you. Designed by Elima, this wireless speaker is able to connect to a Bluetooth device that you might own, equipped with A2DP and AVRCP support, in order to transmit the sound. This means you can connect it to an MP3 player, to a phone that is able to playback MP3s, just like an iPhone. But watch out: the speaker can transmit music from a distance of no more than 10 meters (approximately 30 feet).
As for the features, this waterproof Bluetooth speaker comes with the following features: 2 x 2W speakers with an impendence of 8Ohm, which enables a very clear stereo sound, two Bluetooth profiles, A2DP and AVRCP, an operation range of 10 meters and a power source consisting of four AA batteries.

I, for one, am one of those who grew up with cassette tapes, not with the so very famous compact discs people can’t live without these days. I remember that my mom had a very weird habit, weird for the child I was at that point, to bring, every time she came from work, a cassette tape with the music she most loved.
It was back then when I listened for the first time to artists such as Michael Jackson, who immediately turned into my favorite singer, Bon Jovi or Patricia Kaas. It was then when my taste for music was somehow educated.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
But I found myself in the situation when those cassette tapes are useless these days, because this new era is governed by CDs and DVDs, which is not bad, don’t get me wrong, but what should I do with those tapes?
I could use the U Record Music Converter, this is what, just like any other person who grew up in the “cassette tape†era could do.
“Simply plug this stylish silver box into your computer, hook up your cassette deck or record player and get ready to catapult your analogue music collection into the digital age. The software provided makes it easier than ever to transfer your music onto your computer, clean up those annoying hisses and import it onto iTunes (or any other music software you decide to use).â€
The device requires the following compatibility, when it comes to the PC: Windows XP/Vista or Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later, 256MB of Ram, 250MB of hard drive space and, of course, CD ROM drive or a DVD one.
The music file converter is available right now on Iwantoneofthose for £49.99.

The last MP3 player Creative launched in the market was called Zen Mozaic which became available in the United States starting last August. In the given context, you must agree it’s been a while since we last had the chance to see a new product coming from Creative, so these two MP3 players I’m going to tell you about are something like a dream come true.
Following the tradition of the Zen line, the Zen Mozaic EZ300 and the Zen MX are designed to bring the users the ultimate music experience.
The first one, meaning the Zen Mozaic EZ300, is available in two different versions: a 8GB version which is being sold for $79.99, while the 4GB one can be yours for $59.99.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
Other features include a 1.8 inch TFT display (a colored one), an integrated speaker, FM radio, voice recorder and, for those who have problems with getting up in the mornings, there’s also an alarm clock. The mosaic design is quite unique and is you’ll see, for example, that the EZ300 is based on the plug and play system, which will help you drag and drop the songs you want to listen to.
As for the Zen MX, you’ll probably find a resemblance between the device and a credit card. It measures 83.2 z 55.0 x 11.9 millimeters and comes in two versions also: the 8GB model is being sold for a price of $99.99, while the 16GB one for $129.99.
The features of the Zen MX include a 2.5 inch display with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, an SD/SDHC card support, voice recorder, FM radio and, once again, an alarm clock.
