			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hoping to land a new job with a nice comfortable middle income, and also realizing even my small bags are now large enough for non-tiny phones (was part of my quest), and well&#8212;-a phone is a phone <a href="http://www.sharpbyte.net/gadgets/cell-trend-red-new-pink/#h1">based on its features</a>, but there are always <span style="color: #f10d7a;">PINK</span> cases&#8230;&#8230;.so&#8230;..</p>
<p>Well we&#8217;ve all been seeing the awesome iPhone commercials with all those Apps, those awesome apps like &#8230; a level! OK that may sound silly to you, but the iPhone apps offer more than something for everyone. The newest and coolest Apps would ensure a better quality of life for everyone who can afford it, and if you can, I think it&#8217;d be totally worth the bills!</p>
<p>So now &#8230; I want to get an iPhone! (With a <span style="color: #f10d7a;">nice leather pink tight-fitting case</span>, thank you). Do you want one as well? Check out the recent ads&#8230;</p>

Sure, T-Mobile (Mr. Pink themselves) and Verizon, Sprint&#8230; have great new phones in pink (stay tuned for some of these)&#8230; but AT&#38;T (a bit of a leader since the iPhone) only has slightly older models in the shade(s).

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-191" title="transparent-pink-case_pantech-duo" src="http://sharpbyte.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/transparent-pink-case_pantech-duo.jpg" alt="Pantech Duo" width="283" height="265" />Oh no, say anything but&#8230; is pink <strong>out</strong> in the mobile world? Sure, T-Mobile (<span style="color: #f627af;">Mr. Pink</span> themselves) and Verizon, Sprint&#8230; have great new phones in pink (stay tuned for some of these)&#8230; but AT&amp;T (a bit of a leader since the iPhone) only has slightly older models in the shade(s).</p>
<p>With them, and others too (eek!) what abounds is a sea of <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>red</strong></span>. Is red really the new <em>chic color <strong>for girls</strong></em>&#8230;huh?</p>
<p>Well if you&#8217;re a pink warrior like I, you don&#8217;t need to fret whatever your carrier is&#8230;. there are usually pink snug-fitting cases/faceplates for at least the most popular or coolest models or shapes. (And the shape/opening style is one actually more important feature, thanks to availability of covers, yes I must admit).</p>
<p>Example, this <a title="Elite Extreme Pantech Duo transparent pink cover" href="http://www.elitextreme.com/trpico1.html" target="_blank">transparent hot pink case </a> for the <a title="ATT Pantech Duo black qwerty slider phone" href="http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phone-details/?device=Pantech+Duo&amp;q_sku=sku1080007" target="_blank">(AT&amp;T) Pantech Duo </a> from <em>EliteExtreme</em>.</p>
<p>So you shouldn&#8217;t delay when in need of upgrading your old phone. (Older models are faster obsolete with the new 3G, in my speculation.) Find your best &#8220;fit&#8221; and browse for some fitting &amp; flattering shaded case. Who knows, you might prefer a black &amp; white polka dot cellie instead! There&#8217;s a world of imagined possibilities out there. Phones can be like clothes. (And that&#8217;s why this blog exists.)</p>

If a company produces things made of solar power, we think that&#8217;s green, as in environmentally-friendly, right? But if that company <a title="Apple files patent for solar cells" href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/26/apple-files-patent-for-solar-cells-on-portable-devices/">attempts to patent this technology</a>, therefore not wishing to share/spread/encourage all competition to do the same (we&#8217;re not in competition when the Earth&#8217;s life is at stake though!) &#8211; that&#8217;s not about saving the world at all, it&#8217;s about getting the edge = getting the green, but <strong><span style="color: #008000;">not lush leafy green</span>; <span style="color: #808000;">dark, dirty dollar signs green</span></strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dirty is right! And it&#8217;s not sexy. Sure, sitting out on my back patio un-plugging away on my fully wireless-ness until I can&#8217;t take the <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">global</span> Florida heat anymore sounds like an attractive prospect, but this &#8211; it&#8217;s not &#8220;hot&#8221;.

<p>Motorola has officially announced the KRZR K1, aka <a title="Motorola Canary" href="http://www.sharpbyte.net/gadgets/motorola-canary-razr-2/">the Canary</a>. It should be available in the 2nd half of this year, which is sooner than was speculated. The first round will only offer the phone in dark gray and blue colors, though. But of course due to the popularity of pink, it&#8217;s of opinion that pink should follow in only a matter of time.</p>

<p>Yes, it&#8217;s a phone as slim as the Razr, but much less wide. No word on colors, but when it comes out in <em>pink</em> for Cingular, it&#8217;ll be perfect, and it will be mine all mine. With my clumsiness, I think my current phone will be dropped too many times and need a replacement by then. The Canary is set to come out in 2007, but will a <strong>pink</strong> version come quickly right after??? I can only pray! (Yes, pray! For a phone, yes sillies.)</p>

So my poor lil phone has had to go out on numerous occasions, sans makeup. I was really in a bind about how I could dress up my cell until today. Motorola and Cingular just announced the latest and greatest thing&#8212;phone tattoos for the Motorola RAZR phones.  The tattoos allow the customers to change the look of their handset to their own personal style.</p>
<p><strong>How the Cell Phone Tattoos work:</strong></p>
<p>The phone tattoos come in a 3-pack of pre-designed stickers created in various colors and patterns. The different packs include stickers of:</p>
<p>- Carbon Fiber, Grey Camouflage and Starburst Blue<br />
or<br />
- Pink Plaid, Pink Camouflage and Starburst Pink</p>
<p>My favorite thing about the phone tattoos is the ability to create your own tattoo.</p>
<p>You can get a pack of four blank tattoos that come with complete instructions on how to design and print customized tattoos which gives you the ability to show off your shoe collection, your boy toy, or just create a unique design. To create tattoos:</p>
<p>- Purchase <strong>Phone Tattoos By You!</strong><br />
- Download free software from <a href="http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/phonetattoos/" title="Motorola Phone Tattoos">Motorola</a></p>
<p>The great thing about the tattoos is that they can be easily peeled off and they don&#8217;t leave a residue, plus they are super cheap, only $9.99 per pack.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m off to get my phone tatts so I can take my phone out on the town all dolled up!</p>

<p>Let&#8217;s be clear, I am a girl who loves fashion and gadgets. But this thing is not cool and it&#8217;s downright ugly. That&#8217;s all there is to be said about its functionality as a purse &#8230; but when I think about using it as a phone, solely, well that might work. Although it&#8217;s a very expensive <em>haute</em> phone at $295.</p>

If you&#8217;re wondering how this is useful, I&#8217;ve just got to say, &#8220;sometimes I feel like I need to relax more than holding my (relatively) tiny phone in my hand or stuck on my shoulder. Sometimes I want to lay back on my bed and groove, baby. This phone handle looks down-right comfy!&#8221; Plus it&#8217;s cute! In red and&#8212;<em>ooh, pink!!</em><br />
<em><br />
(I want that!)</em> $20 from FredFlare.com.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Via <a href="http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2002979400_btapplephone08.html" title="Seattle Times: Business &#038; Technology: Apple phone">The Seattle Times</a>: There has been some underground buzz about iPod makers, Apple, coming out with cell phones and even a wireless service (watch out). Last week, reports trickled to the media that the U.S. Patent &#038; Trademark Office had approved an Apple patent for a sort of portable wireless device and phone. (Garble-dy-gook to me, <a href="http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2002979400_btapplephone08.html" title="Seattle Times: Business &#038; Technology: Apple phone">read here</a>.) This is in addition to Apple applying for a trademark, earlier this year, for &#8220;Mobile Me&#8221; (a mobile phone service).</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Nobody has come up with the definitive music experience on a handset yet,&#8221; said John Jackson, a wireless industry analyst at the Yankee Group. &#8220;It&#8217;s a very open opportunity. It has powerful potential.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>I wonder what it will do for stylish phones. iPods are the best looking mp3 players around, and I believe they have such success partly due to that. I saw the Pink iPod, I had to get it, no matter what. I didn&#8217;t care about the mini size, that thing was cute. I&#8217;m very interested in seeing what they make. I want a prototype! I hear (pop-uppy site) that it could come out by 2007. <em>Well, I wish I had a cute pic to put on the blog!</em></p>
