Hot TV Entertainment: TIVO



IF you are looking for the best service and technology to be associated with your Sharp LCD Tv, then this is the one.
Tivo can record multiple shows, display program information and sync with home broadband networks to control recordings via the internet. Other features include the ability to record an entire season of a television show automatically, even if the show changes program times. Suggestions are also given to the device’s user based on viewing habits, and users can transfer shows from the device’s hard drive to a PC.
But it is still expensive. The cheapest option costs $37.58 a month for three years, while buying the device outright costs a hefty $699.

Top Gaming Entertainment: Nintendo DS 2009



The DS has proved extremely popular both among younger gamers and adults. It boasts two screens, one controlled by touch, a number of different accessories and Wi-Fi connectivity to the Nintendo wireless game service. Users can also chat with other DS users within wireless range.
But the updated version is tipped to offer dual touch screen capability, a wider screen, updated wireless capabilities and a camera. The current model costs about $AU188, but the 2009 DS is almost certain to cost more.
If you’re constantly stuck on long plane flight or in taxis, a DS may help the time pass a little easier.

Activision DJ Hero preview


Hit the decks
The final track listing for DJ Hero is, at the time of writing, still a mystery, but plenty of other details of how Guitar Hero’s simple but addictive gameplay will translate to the decks have emerged.

The decks themselves will have three buttons, each representing one note. This might seem like small beans compared to Guitar Hero’s five coloured buttons, but there are plenty more controls to fiddle with.

Vivienne Tam Curvy MP3 Player



Designer Vivienne Tam created this sexy, candy-apple-red mp3 player for her 2009 VIP customers. The Mp3 player is sleek, and curvy - a Vivienne Tam design trademark. What's so cool about this is that the design for it first came out on the web 2 years ago - but the actual players are just making their way into the hands of Vivienne Tam VIPs.

iPod Nano with Video Camera



Apple asks you, "Why settle for just a small camera that just takes videos and posts them on YouTube when you can have a really cool media player with a video camera on it?" (Yes, it is talking about you, Flip.)
Introduced at their 09 09 09 event, the new iPod Nano now has a H.264 VGA video camera that captures life's precious moments of out-of-the-blue instances into 640 x 480 clips in up to 30 frames per second. Take videos either in portrait and landscape, then sync your Nano with the Mac so you could upload those clips in YouTube, Facebook, MobileMe, or simply e-mail them to your friends. It even has a built-in microphone and external speakers so you could also hear the video while playing back your video on the larger 2.2-inch color display.

Now, the 2GB model can be bought for just US$59 while the 4GB version is now available for only $79.

Shopping Bag-Shaped iPod Speakers



If you are looking for a really unique iPod speaker this is it, the portable shopping bag-shaped iPod speaker. Designed by artist Yoshihiko Satoh for Marumiya Furniture, the speaker really does resemble a shopping tote bag. It has straps that you can use to hang it up on a hook in your room. It even functions like a shopping bag - to some extent- you can stash your iPod on top of the "shopping" bag where it's hollowed out a bit.
