So, did you take our word and pick up the free yet most expensive iPod in the world? Yup, Xexoo was giving away iPods free - if, if, if you paid for pimping them with 18k gold, which cost you close to $14,000. Small piece, eh? Well, now all you need Gucci’s fancy-schmancy iPod case, complete with GG logo (tribute to founder Guccio Gucci) and the ironic and green Gucci web on the strap. Music for your brand-sensitive ears?
MP620c: Made with educational institutions with mind (gah!), it comes with a ‘Blackboard’ mode, allowing output display on a blackboard - at a bright 2000 lumens. To zero out projector noise and let the noisy chatter from the gossip queen floats, it comes with a 24 decibel sound level, which makes it almost noiseless. And its 16.7 million color palette makes sure you don’t miss the plaque-cated teeth of the crooks!

With the Cannon Pixma MP 970 all-in-one, you can print, copy, scan - all at a turn of its scroll wheel! Create real-life imaging through its 7-color individual ink tank system, or digitise your 35 mm movie! Hot Features: Prints and copies at 30 ppm in monochrome and 22 ppm in color; Auto Image Fix sets ideal color intensity, tone and brightness; ChromalLife 100 technology delivers beautiful, long-lasting prints with a longevity of - hold your breath - 100 years; can print directly on CD/DVD surface; is Bluetooth enabled.
Small is ‘in’. In a big way. Small cars, small mobiles, small laptops – you name it and you can have it. No wonder then that Transcend has launched its ‘ultra small’ flash drive, the JetFlash T3, which is impossibly compact and weighs a negligible 2 gm! Unlike other miniature USB flash drives, which are pretty fragile, this one is robust, thanks to a special COB (Chip On Board) manufacturing technique that moulds the flash memory chip and circuit board into the driver’s extra toughened casing, making the T3 virtually and delightfully unbreakable.
