Microsoft had created special red Zune 80’s specifically meant for Valentine’s day and may have underestimated the popularity of these red Zunes, it turns out they do not have enough on hand to get them to you by Valentine’s day.

A user at Ihaveazune, reportedly got an email from Microsoft saying that he will not be able to get his Zune by the 14th. They plan to ship it soon but as compensation, he will receive a full refund and still get the Zune. Below is the email he received:

The Sony Ericsson Z770: “your life in a clamshell”

Posted Feb 10th 2008 2:20PM by Chris Ziegler
Filed under: CellphonesThis is a phone we’ve seen in the wild on a couple occasions, but we had one detail dead wrong: the model number. It turns out that Sony Ericsson’s newest Z series flip is actually the Z770, not the Z660 we’d heard before. The company is billing the Z770 as a phone fit for people who need access to the internet (web and email, specifically) but aren’t necessarily interested in stepping up to a full-fledged smartphone, featuring “easy” email setup, zoom / pan features in the web browser along with an actual mouse pointer (anyone familiar with S60’s browser will get the idea here), and integrated support for Exchange ActiveSync. The GSM / EDGE 900 / 1800 / 1900, HSDPA 2100 handset will hit shelves in the second quarter in Vogue Red, Graphite Black, and Exquisite Gold.

Sony Ericsson’s G700 and G900: “touchscreen organizers”

Posted Feb 10th 2008 1:51PM by Chris Ziegler
Filed under: CellphonesIt looks like the rumors about the brand spanking new G series from Sony Ericsson were absolutely spot on. Mobile World Congress has seen the introduction of the G700 and G900, phones that SE is referring to as “touchscreen organizers with a broad appeal.” The G700, the lesser of the two, features a 2.4 inch display (touchscreen, of course) with a 3.2 megapixel camera.

The G900 ups the ante with integrated WiFi and a 5 megapixel autofocus cam with a continuous shooting mode. The big draw on both models appears to be the ability to jot notes on the display using the stylus and save them as sticky notes right to the phones’ home screens — kinda nifty, we’ll admit. Both will launch in the second quarter featuring GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900 radios with UMTS 2100, so using them Stateside isn’t really in the cards. The G700 will be available in Silk Bronze, while the upmarket G900 will feature striking Dark Red and Dark Brown options. We’ll throw up larger images as we get ‘em.

Apple applies for trademark protection on gaming devices

Posted Feb 10th 2008 2:45PM by Evan Blass
Filed under: Gaming We’re not gonna read too much into this just yet, but when everyone’s favorite fruit-flavored consumer electronics company files to protect its trademark as it relates to a wide range of gaming devices, well, we feel you’d want to know. The USPTO sleuths over at Trademork just gave us the heads up on this recently-filed application from Cupertino, which requests protection of the word “APPLE” for products that classify as “toys, games and playthings, namely, hand-held units for playing electronic games; hand-held units for playing video games; stand alone video game machines; electronic games other than those adapted for use with television receivers only; LCD game machines; electronic educational game machines; toys, namely battery-powered computer games.” And come to think of it, we did see Apple file for a videogame-related patent not too long ago, so who knows: perhaps the iPod, iPhone, and Apple TV will soon have even more friends among the company’s ever-expanding non-PC ecosystem. Then again, we’ve heard this rumor in one form or another countless times before, and right now pining for a resurrected Gizmondo is already giving us enough headaches.

Just add some ingredients and voila! sweet and tasty ice-cream is done.

Number 8: iLuv Hi-Fi Audio System

What is a romantic evening without some nice and calm music? If you are not rich enough to keep a music band around, your choice will be a Stereo with favorite CD in it. However, what if this important part is missing? Then, this Hi-Fi Audio System can be the perfect gift. Stylish and white, this AudioCD/MP3 system will play your favorite tunes with ease.

Number 7: Portable Satellite Radio receiver

If music is what she can’t live without, most of her time she spend on the go, and don’t like limited space on MP3 players - then this gadget will be the perfect gift! Satellite digital radio receiver can play music everywhere it has a connection to satellite. It even has the ability to quickly record favorite songs and play them later. This radio receiver can even work as usual MP3 player so no worries if satellites cannot be seen. Like your hearts that are always connected to each other, let her be connected to the world of music with help of this gift.


Number 6: iPod

Yes, it may seem pretty unoriginal, but hey, why would you let your girlfriend be bored while jogging or shopping? Unlike previous entry, this one cannot connect to satellite to play some new tunes, but she can always update her music collection with help of her PC. Third generation iPods come with clearer and better sound and crisp LCD screens that show pictures and videos. Say “No” to boredom, and say “Hello!” to the world of digital music!


Number 5: Seiko Women’s Diamond Accented Coutura Watch

Like one of the writers said, happiness takes no account of time. Unfortunately, when time is money we need to have a watch and keep a close eye on it. If you are worried about your girlfriend, or just don’t want her to be late on your dates, this watch can be a very suitable gift. With diamonds around clock-face, it looks elegant and striking. She will remember you every time she looks at this watch, and shining of the diamonds can add a new shine to your relations.


Number 4: Canon PowerShot Digital Camera

It is very important to save all of those magic moments of your time spent together. They are priceless, those images of the past, those images that can help you remember all pleasant moments in life. If you want to make your date unforgettable, you will need a digital camera that will remember those moments for you. However, her camera must not only take beautiful pictures, but also be elegant and beautiful. Canon digital cameras have good balance between elegance and quality, take clear pictures and look stylish. All you have to do later is look at your old photos made together that can be stored forever in digital form, and thank your camera for letting you remember this moments for many years.


Number 3: Motorola RAZR V3xx Pink Phone

It is so important to listen to loved ones when it is no possibility to be physically near. That is what the cell phones are for. Her phone must be stylish, slim, beautiful, and ring loud… What comes in mind first? Of course, it is the RAZR. It is the slim and elegant phone with almost everything she needs - it even has a second camera for video-calls so you can be near your darling even if you are miles apart.


Number 2: Asus Eee Laptop

Laptops are so popular nowadays, they even replace desktop PCs for many people. It is very useful in many areas of life - work, education, entertainment, etc. Her laptop must be slim and light as possible, so she can take it with her every time she needs it. The best balance between weight, design and functionality is achieved in a tiny laptop with a tiny name: “Eee”. It does all that a regular PC does, but costs less and weights almost nothing, even compared to other laptops. Of course, it has wireless capabilities, so you will be able to surf internet while in the hot spot area. Moreover, reduced size does not mean reduced functionality: 800 MHz Intel processor, built-in Solid State Drive based on flash memory, 512 MB of RAM, 3 USB 2.0 ports - pretty good characteristics for such small laptop!


Number 1: Sharp Aquos LCD HDTV

Why do we choose HDTV but not the diamond necklace, you ask? Let’s think logic. The prices on diamonds are rising, while the prices for HD TVs are falling. You can buy a very good High Definition TV for about 1500 dollars, which is a tiny price for diamond necklace. This TV will show your home videos in the best way that they can be shown, and you will enjoy your favorite movies much more on a bright and clear LCD High Definition screen. So ask yourself, choosing from diamonds and a good TV - which one you will enjoy more, together?
