In Girly Gadget news: Now previewing on its Japanese website is Sony’s new pink or shiny-white digital camera complete with extra details (swirls or modernesque dots) and even rhinestones.
I cannot determine the price from the page, but the specs are translated here.

Once upon a hey-gadgets-are-now-”cool”-for-chicks-too time, pink (or bling, sure) was all the rage. That’s still where my heart lies. But then came red and purple. I haven’t been blogging here the whole time to cover those changes but I can now announce that according to Shiny Shiny and Pantone (yes that big color trend / paint company) the color of 2010 is…
Shiny Shiny’s even had a turquoise-hued skin for some time now – have they been holding out?
The real question is will this unisex tone really translate to us overtly-girly chicas? It’s not even officially the on-trend color for gadgets … yet, unless it’s a Twitter-inspired thing. I just know I’m not feeling it and I’m usually quite trendy. No not even yet like I annually do for Spring bags, although I’m still loving the cool Florida/tropical winter weather! Maybe I just don’t need that perfect clear ocean color at the moment like some others do.
Oh my life! (I tease) I suppose I can just keep my pink skins. It’s not like I have all the money in the world.
Anyway, check out a mini gallery of many things turquoise.

Oh no, say anything but… is pink out in the mobile world? Sure, T-Mobile (Mr. Pink themselves) and Verizon, Sprint… have great new phones in pink (stay tuned for some of these)… but AT&T (a bit of a leader since the iPhone) only has slightly older models in the shade(s).
With them, and others too (eek!) what abounds is a sea of red. Is red really the new chic color for girls…huh?
Well if you’re a pink warrior like I, you don’t need to fret whatever your carrier is…. there are usually pink snug-fitting cases/faceplates for at least the most popular or coolest models or shapes. (And the shape/opening style is one actually more important feature, thanks to availability of covers, yes I must admit).
Example, this transparent hot pink case for the (AT&T) Pantech Duo from EliteExtreme.
So you shouldn’t delay when in need of upgrading your old phone. (Older models are faster obsolete with the new 3G, in my speculation.) Find your best “fit” and browse for some fitting & flattering shaded case. Who knows, you might prefer a black & white polka dot cellie instead! There’s a world of imagined possibilities out there. Phones can be like clothes. (And that’s why this blog exists.)
So you know we girls like to treat ourselves with one great present each holiday season? Well Paris Hilton is like the ultimate girly-girl, so hers would be pink (awesome, of course) and even more great for this blog is its a big fantastic gadget – a car. Paris Hilton custom ordered herself an early Christmas present of a pink Bentley. Complete with pink/black interior, tricked out speakers in the trunk (I never understood that actually) and even oh-so glitterati-fab tinted/protective windows to prevent paparazzi snap flash-and-crash. (Oh well that’s actually necessary, right? Paris wants to drive well, now.)
Check out a video of Miss Hilton unabashedly gushing over her lavish and carefree expenditure – some girls just really do want to have fun, eh? C’est la trés rare vie!
Every girl has the pink Barbie Corvette, huh? (And Paris even upgraded to a Bentley.) I remember I had a pink Cadillac – so classic, but yep, I was the normal girl with Barbies who rode Fords. Le Sigh!
(OK OK I also had a little red speedster sports car, but I’m too girlie to remember what “brand” it was! Oh! and I had…….)
This new Mac Book looks great, mix the Mac Book green with pro and make it small (13″ width, widescreen would be nice) and it could be my next computer.
It’s a good thing the economy is the way it is though, because there is no mention of this machine on Apple.com whatsoever. Or any sign of it being purchasable in the near future. No “Froogle” or news jumps out at me. (And I’m demanding and require that for it to count as marketed.)
The worst thing is that Apple.com’s search doesn’t make any sense, they promote random movies when I search for what should be Apple products. Is this some lame iTunes tie-in? That’s just what it is, lame.
Add a page for every product and/or ad you serve to TV Apple, god, I thought you were smarter than that!
At least(???) we can enjoy the above ad, but it’s kind of like the fairy tale that is the rest of our hopes for bettering our planet. It’s not like I don’t trust Barack Obama, it’s just that well, it’s lame duck season, and unfortunately that doesn’t mean hunting.
A foot note, kudos to YouTube for their new video embed. Not only does it work well with WordPress, but it matches almost any site, which is so tempting now that there are so many other embeddable video sites! I just wish the Google affiliation with it could fit into my layouts (sidebars) like these vids do my posts!! (However we can go straight to YouTube to get Google code for single videos or multiples, so although it won’t fit most sidebars, it’s a great step!) (Of course, getting revenue from embedding YouTube videos into posts is also huge incentive!)
*Update* Vote for this story on these social / “green” sites here:
Apple Computers is giving us working proof that environmentalism fails in the face of business. If a company produces things made of solar power, we think that’s green, as in environmentally-friendly, right? But if that company attempts to patent this technology, therefore not wishing to share/spread/encourage all competition to do the same (we’re not in competition when the Earth’s life is at stake though!) – that’s not about saving the world at all, it’s about getting the edge = getting the green, but not lush leafy green; dark, dirty dollar signs green.
Dirty is right! And it’s not sexy. Sure, sitting out on my back patio un-plugging away on my fully wireless-ness until I can’t take the global Florida heat anymore sounds like an attractive prospect, but this – it’s not “hot”. In fact, I find it rotten.

This blog used to just be about girly gadgets (think pink...everything), but that was a bit limited. As we sifted through bloggers with little posts each, it dawned on me: we need to expand. Now we're a gadget, geek-chic, web design, tech, computers, Internet, etc. blog for nerdettes, new nerds and semi-dorks.
