Last week I took a look at a case from Speck Products for the Microsoft Zune, this week I’ve got one for the Apple iPod nano 4th generation.The case is called the PixelSkin, and it’s made out of silicone with a pixel pattern on it that not only makes it look rather cool but it ensures a good grip on your nano.

So was there anything good under your tree this year? Hopefully, Santa brought you what you wanted. If you happened to get a Zune under your tree this year, the product I’ve got for review today is one that you must check out.

Today for review I’ve got an excellent case for the Zune 80GB or 120GB MP3 player from a company called Speck Products. We, or our friends spend quite a bit of money on these electronic gadgets so why not protect them from accidents, no one wants to drop their nice new toy and have it break. There are all kinds of cases on the market today, and my one gripe with most of them is that they do not come with screen protectors, the one I have for review today does though, and to top it off it will offer quite a bit of good protection for your Zune from accidental bumps or even a fall.

So continue on to check out a great product from Speck…

About a month or so ago I looked at the Archos 5 and DVR station, a couple weeks ago Archos emailed me and asked if I wanted to take a look at their Archos 7 as well, so I said sure, why not!

Today for review I’ve got the Archos 7 320gb Internet Media Tablet, the 7 in the title meaning a 7 inch screen. It’s essentially the same as the Archos 5, but only a larger screen and hard drive capacity, I saw no real differences between the two at all except for those two things. Going from the 5 inch screen to the 7 inch screen might not seem like much, but it really is, it makes everything look so much nicer and even makes the Archos Internet Media Tablet a bit easier to use as well.

So read on to learn more about the Archos 7…

So I figured I would follow Toms’ review of Gears of War 2 with my review of the Gears of War Special Edition Zune 120gb, it just seemed very fitting to do it this way…

The Zune is of course Microsoft’s answer to the iPod as we all know, and in my time with the Zune I’ve come to love it, I’m very happy overall with the Zune, it’s very easy to use, it’s got many features, it’s well made, and of course this one is special because it’s Gears of War.

The Gears of War Edition Zune has a 120gb capacity, which should be more than enough for anyone really, and it of course comes packed with all kinds of things pertaining to Gears of War 2, including videos, stills, concept art, backgrounds, the full soundtrack and quite a bit more.

So, believe it or not I’ve never owned an iPod, you’d think being into technology as much as I am I’d have at least one, but nope, not until now. Since I’ve had the iPod, I’ve had quite a bit of time to play with it, and well, I’m not that impressed with it really, not sure I understand all of the hype around it, and why it’s so wildly popular. Mp3 players have been around for a long time, but now it seems ‘iPod’ has become a generic term for mp3 player, you mention mp3 players and people think of iPods instantly, it’s like there was never anything before the iPod…  I own two mp3 players that I don’t even use anymore, instead I use my ATT Tilt which can do everything the iPod or my mp3 players can do and much more…

Today I’ve got the 4th Generation  Apple iPod nano, the 8gb version, in the limited edition color Product Red. The iPod has taken over the mp3 player market leaving many companies struggling to compete with it, it was basically an instant success with the launch of the first version, and since then it has all been uphill for Apple and the iPod line of products. The new nano offers a large LCD viewing area, an accelerometer for games and navigation, along with of course being very portable and well made.

I love gadgets, especially multi-function ones that allow you to take movies and music with you. Portable Media Players as they are called, most people have one for of them or another, be it their phone, an iPod or maybe a Zune, or some other brand of media player. One thing about these things though is that the screen is small, and really watching a movie is something that I wouldn’t do all of the time on one.

Archos has been around for a while, and really they’ve come along way with the quality and functionality of their products, they’ve recently introduced the Archos 5 Internet Media Tablet which features a nice large 4.8″ LCD screen that runs at a resolution of 800×480 pixels to produce a very nice big picture. That’s not the only feature of the Archos 5 though, it can do pretty much anything a laptop can, internet, email, movies, music, and even games. Archos sent me the Archos 5 Tablet for review along with a must-have accessory called the DVR Station which allows you to not only record TV like a DVR, but it allows you to hook up the Archos 5 to your TV for a really big screen view.
