iRiver's new U10 Player


Check out this new Multi-funtional player by iRiver called the U10. All the buttons are on the screen. So it sounds like it's touch-screen, but why is that a new technology? Anways this is one very nice sleek player. Supposedly it can fit in your pocket. But better have some good protection for that screen. Supports all kinds of file formats, FM Tuner and comes in 1GB or 2GB versions.

VOIP, on the go



Pay $250 for this NetGear Voip phone and then make free calls to anywhere in the US, as long as your within WIFI range.

HINT: You know those WIFI places? Like Starbucks, Panera...well guess what, you don't need to be inside the store to get a connection. The speed is a little slower, but your still in WIFI range. So when the stores close down, stand just outside the door and your good to yap away all-night-long for free.
