It seems like every other day now tech companies are releasing their popular goods in vibrant spring colors, and iLuv is no exception.  The portable electronics accessory specialists have just released their iSP100 Ultra Portable Stereo Speaker System in striking pink and purple to go along with the already available black and silver colorways.  Perfect for those times when headphones just won’t do because you need to kick out the jams as loud as possible, the iSP100 features iLuv’s jAura Acoustic Speaker Technology with 720° surround sound accoustic chambers that help coax improved sound quality from smaller drivers.  It’s all powered by three AAA batteries, and is compatable with all versions of the iPod, iPhone, or any other MP3 player on the market (sometimes I cheat on my iPod Nano with my Creative Zen Vision: M).   You can pick up your iSP100 Ultra Portable Stereo Speaker System for around $35.

I don’t own an iPhone but this “device” is pretty genius.

High tech meets low tech with this simple corrugated cardboard stand, that makes capturing document images with your iPhone a snap. If you’ve ever attempted to scan a document by just holding up your phone, you’ll know that a blurry image is often the result. This simple stand created by University of Cincinnati DAAP student Kyle A Koch, is an elegant and green solution that holds both the phone and document in the perfect position to get a sharp capture. The stand comes flat packed for just $16 through the Ponoko design store.

Own an iPhone 3G and in the market for a new case for your precious, scratch prone investment?  Incase has you covered.  The company just released their incredibly popular slider case in four fresh new spring colors - vivid orange, vivid green, muted cyan, and magenta.  Made of lightweight hardshell plastic and featuring interior rubber guardrails to provide shock absorption in addition to impact and scratch protection, the case is thin enough to maintain the iPhone’s sleek dimensions yet durable enough to protect from all those accidental drops.  And, unlike some other cases, you still get easy access to all the controls on the side.  Purchase yours today at Incase’s online store for $34.95.

On Saturday, September 6th, the much awaited Colette x Gap pop-up shop on 54th & 5th opened to the public at 10 am.  I didn’t make it to the store until 12:30, and I figured that by that time any line would have been over and done with.  I was wrong. Very wrong.  The line went around the block.  I took my place and prepared myself to be there a while.  Luckily, the Labor Day parade was making its way down 5th Avenue and the music and chants of the union workers made the time pass a bit faster.  Two hours and a dirty water dog later, I finally made it into the shop.

The first thing I saw was the Alexis Mabille x GapGreyJersey bow purse (pictured below) and I was in handbag heaven.  I grabbed a purse and made my way around the shop to see all the product and tried to decide what else to get.  I decided on the bow purse, a mug and a notebook.  Some of the products were already sold out when I got there (about 4 hours into the shop being open!).  There were only a few pairs of the Repetto GapGreyJersey ballet flats and I saw a woman pick up the last of the Longchamp Pliage GapGreyJersey bags.  The Kangol GapGreyJersey (pictured below) are marked as “coming soon” on the site but they were already out.  Even though they were limiting the amount of people in the shop it was still a bit chaotic - you could feel the anxious shoppers nervously going through product and trying to decide what to get before it was snatched by someone faster.  I documented the shop as best I can and you can check out more pics of product after the jump.

The Colette x Gap is open until October 5, 2008.

The Apple 3G is out today!  Are you getting one?  I don’t think I can be down with this phone until it’s nail/fake nail friendly.  I can’t use the touch screen any other way!  What do you guys think???

I love “organization” I have several notebooks, a giant desk calendar, a laptop, a desktop and a smart phone to help me keep life and work in order. Sadly, I’m still not as organized as I’d like to be. Scheduled events and contacts don’t make their way into the phone or calendar or get jotted down in a hurry in the wrong notebook. What to do? Apple is introducing a product called Mobile Me that will make these problems a thing of the past!

Mobile Me is “[a] new service for your iPhone, iPod touch, Mac, and PC . . . . [that] pushes your email, contacts, and calendar events to your iPhone, iPod touch, Mac, and PC.” It works like this: Email, contacts and calendar information are stored on a “cloud” - make an update on one device, and the cloud updates all of your devices. No more docking or syncing! This is the future! The service includes an “ad-free suite of web applications” that are accessible anywhere and a great way to share photos or large files. The “cloud” is a rather big one with a hefty 20gb of storage. Mobile Me will be available soon and you can sign up here to be notified when it launches. Learn more about how it will rock your world and take the guided tour here.  Organization, here I come!

Friends . . . how many of us have them? Well, it seems like people are concocting new ways everyday to expand your social network and now there’s iPling for the iPhone. It’s in the test stages but you can be one of the first to try it out. All you need is a Safari browser or an iPhone. Go make some more friends!
