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.

Motorola has officially announced the KRZR K1, aka the Canary. It should be available in the 2nd half of this year, which is sooner than was speculated. The first round will only offer the phone in dark gray and blue colors, though. But of course due to the popularity of pink, it’s of opinion that pink should follow in only a matter of time.

Call your friends, text your neighbors, the new Sidekick 3 is here! The much anticipated T-Mobile Sidekick is the latest celebrity must have. One of the highlights of the SK3 is the fact that it has Bluetooth, something the old SK didn’t have. It also has a removable battery, miniSD slot, USB syncing, 1.3-megapixel camera, and a beautiful display. As a total IM freak I am most excited about the fact that I can IM with the SK3. It supports AIM, MSN, and Yahoo! Chat. All in all I think the SK3 is almost cooler then my laptop.

The only thing better then the Motorola RAZR is the Moto SLVR Red. Humanitarian, and U2 front man, Bono has teamed up with Motorola as well as other companies to raise money to fight the Aids epidemic in Africa. Profits from the red phone as well as other specially designed products will go towards the cause. Every call made on the phone counts and keeps contributing to the cause. The phone itself is very sexy. It’s thin, light, and easy to use. It has an MP3 player, camera, and color screen.

Who knew something so stylish could help such a great cause? For more info visit: www.joinred.com

Introducing the Motorola “Canary” or the Razr 2. Cute Gadgets got photos of it via Engadget, but only Cute Gadgets showed the picture I’m most interested in:

Yes, it’s a phone as slim as the Razr, but much less wide. No word on colors, but when it comes out in pink for Cingular, it’ll be perfect, and it will be mine all mine. With my clumsiness, I think my current phone will be dropped too many times and need a replacement by then. The Canary is set to come out in 2007, but will a pink version come quickly right after??? I can only pray! (Yes, pray! For a phone, yes sillies.)

I’ve been wanting to pretty up my cell phone but haven’t wanted the puffy stickers that fall off or fake designer cases. So my poor lil phone has had to go out on numerous occasions, sans makeup. I was really in a bind about how I could dress up my cell until today. Motorola and Cingular just announced the latest and greatest thing—phone tattoos for the Motorola RAZR phones. The tattoos allow the customers to change the look of their handset to their own personal style.

How the Cell Phone Tattoos work:

The phone tattoos come in a 3-pack of pre-designed stickers created in various colors and patterns. The different packs include stickers of:

- Carbon Fiber, Grey Camouflage and Starburst Blue
or
- Pink Plaid, Pink Camouflage and Starburst Pink

My favorite thing about the phone tattoos is the ability to create your own tattoo.

You can get a pack of four blank tattoos that come with complete instructions on how to design and print customized tattoos which gives you the ability to show off your shoe collection, your boy toy, or just create a unique design. To create tattoos:

- Purchase Phone Tattoos By You!
- Download free software from Motorola

The great thing about the tattoos is that they can be easily peeled off and they don’t leave a residue, plus they are super cheap, only $9.99 per pack.

I’m off to get my phone tatts so I can take my phone out on the town all dolled up!

Okay so although we live in a land of cordless love it’s nice every now and then to just sit in one spot and chat. Sort of a throw back to the olden days. What better way to go back in time than with this ultra sleek, ultra stylish phone. My favorite is the metal finish. The touch-tone buttons make it so much easier to dial and the look of this phone really takes the cake, so sophisticated! It comes in red, black, metal and ivory.

They also come in a similar wall mounted style.

Here’s Bono wearing matching shades at the Launch Event for the new Motorola Red SLVR cell phone in London. The U2 singer’s Project Red, an AIDS charity, will receive some proceeds from both phone sales and monthly service charges! The phone is now available in the UK, but there is only a waiting list for the rest of us.

Gap, Armani, Converse and American Express will also produce merchandise for this charity. See more at Project Red’s website: Join Red .com.

Purchasing info is at Motorola.com.

Okay so cordless phones are a must have in the house right. I mean everyone needs at least one. Trouble is it’s tough to find one that A) Works and B) Doesn’t look totally ugly. I spent seriously months looking for a phone and pay off was finding the mother of all.. The Vtech i578. Okay I don’t totally want to go off, but this phone rocks! It’s 5.8ghz (which means it’s not going to be all fuzzy with a bad connection and your neighbors won’t be able to listen in) it’s amazingly clear. There are about a million features including:

The Phone Bag (originally seen on Sci Fi Tech, then Techie Diva) from La Pochette (a vintage purse company, and yes, this purse is “old”) has fooled somebody, Alex (male or female?), at Digital Lifestyle (pop-ups warning).

Let’s be clear, I am a girl who loves fashion and gadgets. But this thing is not cool and it’s downright ugly. That’s all there is to be said about its functionality as a purse … but when I think about using it as a phone, solely, well that might work. Although it’s a very expensive haute phone at $295.
