Forget Durex... Protection By LV

What you are looking at are the Louis Vuitton iPad cases. Yes, you read correctly,Pad not Pod, so if any of you own the 'tablet' or the 'world's biggest touch-screen laptop' in my eyes, the folks at LV have given you a stylish way to keep the iPad safe. Available in their classic monogram design or their checkerboard Damier Graphite design, the only problem is, they are not dropping until next year and each case will cost you £240 a pop. Happy saving.

Tryna Catch 'Em All

I remember the whole word being taken over by this cute pocket monster and his master, Ash. I myself, despite being a fan-boy of Pokèmon, I detested Pikachu. Like really. He hadn't even evolved yet, wasn't that powerful and everybody loved him just because he was cute. Now I believe I could stand to be in the same room or Pokèball as him. I also remember the never-ending Pokèmon GameBoy Games, Red, Blue, Silver, Gold, I believe Golden-Brown is still in mass production.

Nintendo and Vice are to hold a Pokèmon Exhibition on the 24th March, in celebration of their newest releases onto the DS, HeartGold and SoulSilver. The release party will take place at Blackall Studios in Shoreditch. There are prizes up for grabs, such as both HeartGold and SoulSilver games,a DS and tickets to the exhibition itself. Hopefully I can be present, so we can chop it up about Team Rocket and their pursuit of happiness.

Google Nexus One

In the age where phones are increasingly becoming like mini-computers, it is only a matter of time before the big boys in PC industry start making phones. Apple, obviously have their world famous and industry changing iPhone, well now Google have now entered the phone market, with Nexus One.

The iPhone was marketed as a 'smartphone', Google have labelled their product as a 'superphone'. The Nexus One has an impressive voice input feature, which can be used in e-mails, chat conversations and even for updating your Facebook status.

The Nexus One can tell you the weather based on your location, can use more than one app at a time, and interestingly unlike Apple, all of their applications are to be free to download.

Maybe not an iPhone Killer, but could be very decent. Who knows?
