Hands-on with FreeAgent Go and FreeAgent Desk Drives

We got to take a look at Seagate’s new FreeAgent line-up in person today. Our impressions of all of the hard drives are that they are very slick. The FreeAgent Go Drive in particular is super slim and it also feels very lightweight. It’s a wonder that you can carry around 500GB in one of these things. If desk space is an issue and you don’t require all the available connections in the FreeAgent Desk Drive versions, get the FreeAgent Go. You’ll hardly know it’s on your desk or in your bag. The FreeAgent Go Drive for Mac is a little thicker because it accommodates a Firewire 800 port, but for some Mac users like myself - the extra thickness is worth it in order to have the Firewire 800 connection. The FreeAgent Go for Mac also comes with a carrying case and dock, while the FreeAgent Go does not. However you can purchase the dock and case for FreeAgent Go for $29.
For people looking for lots and lots of storage, the FreeAgent Xtreme Drive and FreeAgent Desk Drive offer bigger capacities (up to 1.5TB), and the Xtreme comes with eSata and Firewire 400 ports. They both come with stands or you can stack them up flat on top of one each other.  The FreeAgent Desk Drive for Mac can’t be stacked up but it does come with FireWire 800/400 ports for Mac users.

LONGCHAMP’s iPod Nano Case with Tape Cassette Deco

iPhone 3G Gets Dipped in 24 Karat Gold

Computer Choppers, whom brought us the Polished Gold Macbook Pro and the 24Kt Gold iMac is about to set someone’s wallet back with the 24K Gold iPhone 3G. Still in production, they are about almost done with making as they claim, the first “iPhone 3G with 24Kt yellow gold housing & Bezel.” Pish Posh diamonds are so passe, this is what all the kids want - something that emulates a gold brick from Fort Knox. Computer Choppers was even blunt enough to say how the materials this time around on the iPhone 3G were less than stellar and made it tougher for them to plate the “poor” quality plastic Apple used. Testing is still being done for those who want engravings and other customizations before it is plated, as well as how reception will hold up with the coat of gold on it. No pricing is available and as with everything they sell you will have to e-mail them to find it out the cost. So stay tuned to Computer-Choppers if this is what you would have in mind for your little iPhone 3G.

Knalihs Athem Diamond Encrusted iPhone 3G - Only 50 Available

Here we go again another diamond encrusted cell phone but this time it’s the iPhone 3G.

This is a first for the 3G version of the iPhone and Knalihs Athem is taking the bull by the horns and encrusting the phone with 475 diamonds that weigh in at 3.75 carats in total. Only 50 of these will be made for worldwide consumption. The first 10 sold will cost 10K and then any sold afterwards will increase dramatically. What a bargain!

Free Exif Untrasher Software Recovers Erased Photos on Your Memory Card

One day, some unlucky soul is going to discover that they just erased some really important photos off of their camera’s memory card - without having backed them up first. And if you end up being that poor soul, you’ll want to be prepared by downloading Exif Untrasher. Exif Untrasher recovers JPEG images even after they have been deleted or your memory card has been formatted. There is actually a good amount of memory card recovery software out there, but most will cost you at-least $20 to $50 a pop. On the other hand, Exif Trasher is totally free. Unfortunately it’s only Mac compatible. Anyone know of a good alternative for PC or Linux folks?

X-files Limited Edition Nano and iPod Classic

The X-files 2 movie… I so wanted to believe but I guess no one else did. Sadly this is one X-file Mulder and Scully won’t be able to solve - as to why their movie tanked in the box office.

Limited Edition Beverly Hills 90210 iPod Nano

There will only ever be one 90210 for me, 90210 2.0 be damned. Nothing will ever top the original West Beverly gang. So for those true hard core 90210′ers, you may want to get the limited edition 90210 engraved iPod Nano from the CBS store who are also distributing every 90210 season on DVD. It features Brandon, Kelly, Brenda, and Dylan (sniff love them) in all their 1992 second season glory engraved on the back of the Nano. It’s available in Black or Silver and in 4GB or 8 GB capacity. It’s a bit pricey, $219 for the 4GB version and $269 for the 8GB but there are only 2000 available. You can even engrave your name or whatever you like up to 30 characters. How about “Brenda and Dylan forever” or “Kelly Stole My Boyfriend” either saying would look very nice on the back of the Nano. If 90210 isn’t your thing, the CBS store offers limited editions of engraved Survivor and CSI Nano’s, Shuffles, iPod Classics, and iPod Touch’s.

Camouflage Louis Vuitton iPhone/iPod Case is Ready for War

Well it seems Louis Vuitton was inspired for their new line of pricey bags by our men and women in Iraq. Their new line of bags has a camouflage theme or better yet a Monogramouflage canvas. I dare you to say that three times fast. However, what high end fashion house designer wouldn’t make a collection of bags and not include something for the iPod or iPhone these days? LV certainly wouldn’t and they included with their collection a Camouflage iPhone and iPod Case for $280. The design was inspired from Japanese artist Takashi Murakami who has been involved with other Louis Vuitton bags in the past. So if you have some money to burn this is nice case to treat yourself with and it will blend in with the scenery.

Macally PowerTune Do-It-All iPod Accessory

Macally’s PowerTune is one of those iPod accessories that just make sense to get. Designed for the iPod Classic and 5th generation iPod, the PowerTune is a portable speaker that also moonlights as a battery charger.

The speaker itself has two built-in 500mw speakers with volume control, while the device recharges your iPod’s battery from power drained from a USB port. The PowerTune retails for a reasonable $39.99, which is probably less than the total you would spend if you bought all four types of accessories.
