Reduce Wallet Size with your iPhone?

May 16, 2008

We just came across potentially one of the best uses for your iPhone and or iPod Touch. Most people have a wallet with membership cards to places they barely frequent, yet we are reluctant to ever take out the cards out of our wallet (we know, we leave useless cards in our wallets too); a blogger, Albert Alberts (Lifehacker) has come up with a great idea to solve our overflowing wallet problem…he suggests you scan your membership cards into your computer and sync the pictures into an album on your iPhone/Touch. Now when you want to scan yourself into your gym, or scan your membership card at the supermarket, you can take out your phone and scan, well, your phone. Apparently this DOES work as the barcodes are still easily read from the Apple screens. We’d love it if somebody can actually try this and leave us a few comments with how well it worked.


Nike SoBe Pack

May 16, 2008

Ironically, Nike is putting out a South Beach Pack…but releasing them in Europe, not the U.S. I wouldn’t worry too much, because we’re sure a bunch of pairs will make it over to The States. We excited to pick up the pair shown above. Look for them to drop June 9th.


New Crackberry Bold MSRP and Release Dates

May 16, 2008

The new Blackberry Bold has surfaced the internet before this blog…so we’re not going to try and make it sound like we have new information because the phone itself is coming out, rather we have some new info on the phone as far as price and release dates. Most major carriers will carry the Bold, but AT&T will have it first in July. Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile will get it sometime in September. All dates aren’t finalized yet and are likely to change slighty. Oh, and the price…$300 for all carriers except T-Mobile which will likely be $350 (whatever, their plans are cheaper anyway).

Everyone will just have to wait for it to come out, EXCEPT John Mayer who happened to get his hands on one early according to the JOHN MAYER Blog where he says “I like cool stuff, early. Is that so wrong?” No, it’s not wrong, but you just pissed off everybody waiting for this phone…way to go, scumbag!
