XM Satelite Radio

Check this out. This neat little gadget is for the music lover who doesn't want to be interrupted by commercials.

Scotty, I need more power!

I'm notorious for carting around all my techie gadgets with very low or next to nil battery life. It's actually annoying having to use someones cell phone because yours is dead. (More annoying to the person you are boring it from.) Or go to the gym and your MP3 player is on it's last legs and can't get you through to your workout.

Energizing your mobile lifestyle doesn't require a bunny. Introducing the new EcoSol Powerstick. Simply pop it into your USB port and let it charge up. A fuel gauge lets you monitor its progress.

Connect the Powerstick to virtually any portable device - and it transfers the charge while allowing you to use that device even as it's being charged. Powerful? You bet. Reliable too. Yet so small you can take it anywhere. It's truly green, and can easily cause envy. It has 10 adapters to charge mobile devices such as Blackberrys, cell phones, smart phones, PDAs, iPhones, iPods, MP3 Players, headsets and digital cameras.

The convenience of having power at my fingertips gives me peace of mind that my cellphones won't die and my iPods won't leave us stranded in our own silence.

Oops, almost forgot. You can get it at Best Buy for $69.99.

You too can get a Zune!

The wonderful people at Zune have given me the opportunity to nominate a friend to win a Zune mp3 player! (See post below for all the details of the product)


Email me at: itsasharonthing at hotmail dot com and tell my why I should nominate you. Put Zune in as the subject line. Creativity counts here! Do it before July 14/2008. For those of you who are brave enough you can put your entry in the comment box!



I can't wait to read what you all will have to say. This is just as fun as my scooter shopping. I have scoured Toronto's scooter stores and on Sunday I will go check out some more in Mississauga. The stores are sort of like car dealerships. They only carry certain brands so you have to do a lot of driving around to check them all out. What does one do if they don't have transportation to do this?

Zune in

I'll be receiving a Zune 80gb mp3 player from Microsoft soon. It holds up to 20,000 songs, 25,000 photos or 250 hours of video. It features a large 3.2″ colour screen as well as touch controls that allow you to search through your music, movie and photo collection quickly without ever having to scroll. Plus, if you need to change and update content on your Zune, you can do so wirelessly-no PC necessary.

Best Buy is giving away 25 Zune MP3 players valued at $250 each. Winners can choose between two exciting colours-red or black. One of those winners could be you!

I'm hoping to be able to run my own contest to give away one of these babies myself on my blog.

I'm excited to get my hands on this as I'd like a player with video option. I also like that it's wireless. I'll keep you posted.

Well, I'm off to the gym and then tonight the fam and I are going to go see the fireworks.
