			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Apple fans are getting even more fanatic.</p>
<p>Now, they&#8217;re even able to pick up a MacBook wooden cutting board!!</p>
<p>You would have thought that just having all the latest Apple products would be enough to satisfy the techno lovers, but no, it appears they are now ready to delve into the merchandise market.</p>
<p>SO if you love your new laptop computer so much that you find it hard to be away from it, even when you are cooking, well here is the product for you.</p>
<p>The MacBook cutting board is a complete wooden replica of the latest model laptop.</p>
<p>The definition and attention to detail is actually quite remarkable, with everything from the size, shape and the cut of the lines the exact same.</p>
<p>The board even has the Apple emblem carved in with accurate precision.</p>
<p>For MacBook lovers the great thing now is that you should never be stuck cutting up food on a normal cutting board ever again.</p>
<p>For those interested in the exact details, the cutting board is made out of apple tree wood, and can be purchased for around $60 through selected sites.</p>
<p>I wonder what will be next&#8230; The Apple cutlery set???</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks to the iPhone, anything is possible when it comes to technology and mobile phones.</p>
<p>The latest advancement is the ability to use hand gestures to control your music players and MP3 devices.</p>
<p>The technology is known as the “Moove” MP3 Player and has been created by eyeSight Mobile Technologies.</p>
<p>It’s basically anew interface for phones that enable one to control MP3 player software on a mobile phone with simple hand gestures.</p>
<p>It’s currently available only for Nokia 5800 XpressMusic users, and is proving already to be a hit with the public.</p>
<p>Half a million copies have already been ordered in less than four months of being on the shelves, and the application has dominated the top download lists for a long time running.</p>
<p>With its popularity eyeSight is currently in talks with other mobile phone manufactures to license the Hand Gesture Interface to be integrated into new models.</p>
<p>I’m sure it will only be a matter of time before Apple come out with their own version for the iPhone and co, but for the meantime, here is something they do not have just yet.</p>
<p>For those of you wondering how it works??</p>
<p>It basically allows users to play or stop tracks, as well as skip between songs by using simple hand gestures above the device&#8217;s frontal camera.</p>
<p>It is perfect for anyone running on a treadmill, meaning they will not have to fiddle or even touch the music player to be in control.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s fair to say that most of the world know about the latest technological craze hitting our market – the iPad.</p>
<p>But it is also fair to say that not everyone would know one it’s biggest selling points, and one the most unique capabilities of the Apple design.</p>
<p>iPad’s allow users to read books, magazines, and newspapers just as easy as actually having on in front of you.</p>
<p>The phenomenon of E-reading is a new concept, but one that will be utilized mush so by iPad users.</p>
<p>But, there is also another brand that caters for E-book readers, and that is Pandigital and their Novel design.</p>
<p>Just like the iPad, the Novel allows for online reading and other cool tablet like features.</p>
<p>The good thing about it is that it is powered by Google’s Android, allowing for much faster connectivity and options that the iPhone cannot access.</p>
<p>The Novel comes with a seven-inch colour touch screen, and has the capabilities of downloading applications and can be used as a media player.</p>
<p>However, as good as it is being able to access and use Google Maps, voice, Calendar, Gmail, and all the other Google applications, you won’t be able to access half of the features Apple offers.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, the Novel is one of the cheapest Ebook readers on the market, and for just $190, it serves its purpose quite well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">It has only been for sale in our country for just over a week, but already the Apple iPad has come out with a bunch of accessories!!!</p>
<p>We really shouldn’t be surprised, I mean we all know just how many gadgets stem from sales in this department.</p>
<p>So, the latest release for iPad lovers is the iPad Waterproof Case.<span id="more-16476"></span></p>
<p>Those of you that like to be around a whole lot of water, love hanging by the pool or are just clumsy fools, this may be something you want to consider picking up.</p>
<p>It’ll make sure you have full use of your iPad, but it will also make sure that it stays completely dry.</p>
<p>What it does is provide a covering case over the screen with an incredibly attractive strap that can be used to make the iPad hang from your neck, much like a lanyard.</p>
<p>I’m sure you’ll even be a hit with the opposite sex with one of these around your neck, and not to mention the attention you will get from people knowing you actually own an iPad!</p>
<p>Of course should you want to make that particular fashion statement, you might have a little bit of a hard time getting one of these since it comes from Asia.</p>
<p>But if you are lucky to find a site that sells it, it has a $40 price tag.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With Apple technology slowly taking over the world, we are being forced more so than even to conform to the trend or face being left behind in the techno market.</p>
<p>In fact, just today it was announced that a Sydney restaurant are planning on using the iPad instead of menus to order meals.</p>
<p>WOW! Can you imaging not having to deal with waitresses anymore???<span id="more-16458"></span></p>
<p>Well, this latest addition to the accessory list of Apple gadgets is not as impressive, but it&#8217;s still pretty cool.</p>
<p>If you own an iPhone, you would probably know what it&#8217;s like to constantly have to charge your phone.</p>
<p>If there is one downside to the handset it would have to be the lack of battery life.</p>
<p>That being said, they have now come out with a new cordless wall charger for the iPhone, to make it easier for us to add a bit of juice to our phones wherever we are.</p>
<p>The device offers fast iPhone and iPod charging thanks to its click and pivot mechanism.</p>
<p>Being compact, its pivoting feature lets you slide your device into place without having to stuff around with wires or cables.</p>
<p>And the good news is that since you&#8217;re hooked up to a wall socket, it delivers much more charge than a USB connection over a computer, resulting in a faster top up.</p>
<p>The Cordless Wall Charger for iPhone will play nice with all three generations of iPhones, the iPod touch, iPod classic and the iPod nano, and sells for just under the $30 mark.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It appears the iPad has a new competitor&#8230;.fittingly called the iPed.</p>
<p>With Apple’s new technology not yet on sale in China, They&#8217;ve come out with a replica version, which is worth a fifth of the price!</p>
<p>You have to love the Chinese; they really don’t stuff around do they.</p>
<p>When it comes to technology, if you do not include them, they’ll just go ahead and do their own thing, their own way, which is efficient!!<span id="more-16450"></span></p>
<p>What they have done now is create an Intel-driven, Android-based copycat packaged like an Apple product.</p>
<p>Apparently the device only has 16gigs of space, and runs on 128mb of RAM.</p>
<p>In short, Apple has decided to stagger the release of their latest technology, and it seems the Chinese just got over waiting.</p>
<p>I’m not quite sure just how effective it will be, and just how well it will be embraced by the public, but for the time being you can’t help but admire the replica version.</p>
<p>The iPad has only been on the shelves in selected countries for two months, and sold more than two million items, and we have already seen a replica made… wow!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you’re getting over all the current ranges of iPod and Apple accessories, well here is a new one for you.</p>
<p>Currently there are many different ways you can listen to your favourite tunes through any iPod.</p>
<p>Users have the option of the armband, where it straps onto a band that hooked onto your arm while you exercise.</p>
<p>There is also the option of having it strapped around your chest to ensure it is out of the way and free form getting harmed.</p>
<p>There is even the option of having it blare through a helmet with an in-built system available.</p>
<p>And then there is the good old method of just carrying it or putting it in your pocket.</p>
<p>This new idea uses the lanyard as inspiration.</p>
<p>The Neklit is a device that turns your little iPod Nano into an adorable geeky necklace.</p>
<p>These Neklits will let you keep your Nano within arms reach and always in-sight while using them.</p>
<p>It holds your iPod securely, so you won’t have to worry about it dropping, and if you want to keep the pendant part attached, but not the lanyard, the two easily come apart.</p>
<p>The lanyard itself is adjustable, letting you get it at a comfortable length.</p>
<p>It is not yet on the market, but will be son and should be selling for around the $20 mark.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Breaking or ruining our favourite technological gadget is heartbreaking, and one of the most annoying things that can happen to all techno lovers.</p>
<p>You spend so much time saving up to buy the product, then are left fuming when it stuff up for whatever reason.</p>
<p>The good news, however, is that if it does stuff up, you always know you can still use the useless shell for a different purpose.<span id="more-16333"></span></p>
<p>Selling through Etsy, we have stumbled across a designer who will not let a broken iPod get in the way of a good design.</p>
<p>The previous owners have turned the techno gadget into a fancy clock, fully equipped with hands, and a timer alarm.</p>
<p>While it is an incredibly dorky way to check the time, it dos at least temporarily keep one electronic device from rotting away in the local dumpster.</p>
<p>The iPod clock tower has timing device inserted into it that uses a USA made quartz drive movement, to ensure the time is up to world standards.</p>
<p>The design measures 2.5” wide by 6.5” tall and in order to keep it up and running you’ll just need one simple AA battery.</p>
<p>Also if you should want something of yours turned into a clock, it’s worth asking around, they could custom make you one!</p>
<p>The iPod Clock is selling for just over $40.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If there is one complaint about using lap tops or any computing device for that matter, is that the keyboard you use is always just plain old boring and lacking of any interesting colours.</p>
<p>In fact computers in general lack any real vibrancy and personality.</p>
<p>Sure, a few stickers can change that, but generally they just typify a massive nerd of computer geek.<span id="more-16307"></span></p>
<p>Thankfully, one company has other ideas about how computing device should be received, by releasing decorative keys for any Apple keyboard.</p>
<p>There are several attractive keyboards available, so I could see many being interested in making their current keyboard a little more attractive on their laptop.</p>
<p>One particular version is the rainbow print, which will make your laptop look like a Skittles bag.</p>
<p>The stickers are made by special material-Avery MPI and if you get bored of them, you can always peel them off and go back to the original look. </p>
<p>The great thing is that they do not leave any marks, and are easily cleaned up.</p>
<p>These are of course made specifically for a Apple MacBooks, so those of you with other laptops will probably have a harder time getting something like this.</p>
<p>The great news is that they are pretty cheap too, selling for around $15 from most computing stores.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you want something that will annoy the hell out of your friends and family this April Fools Day, look no further than the TV Poltergeist Phantom Prank Device.</p>
<p>Made by serial novelty item brand ThinkGeek, the device is made for the purpose of turning off TVs and random intervals throughout the day.<span id="more-16076"></span></p>
<p>The unique invention works via an LED light, which when aimed at a TV has the ability to turn it off, and back on again.</p>
<p>It is programmed to randomly go off every 5 to 20 minutes and give a massive headache to the poor person who has to get up off the couch to switch it back on again.</p>
<p>The places the TV Poltergeist could work are endless.</p>
<p>In a school class, lecture theatre, even sitting in the dentists waiting room.</p>
<p>There are so many places that you would find a purpose for the interesting little device, and so many people you could annoy the hell out of.</p>
<p>The hardest part will be trying to hide the smirk on your face when you sit their in hysterics watching the owner stress his head off while everyone else in the lounge room is hanging to get back to their favourite program, or best part in a movie.</p>
<p>The TV Poltergeist requires only a couple of AA batteries to operate, and will run until they die, so if you have someone you really want to get back at, slip the device into their house and it will take weeks before they can watch their TV normally again!</p>
<p>The little gem is selling for a bargain $13 and should be a necessity for any serial pranksters out there.</p>
