I don't have my own picture of it, but you could easily search out one -- I recently got a Palm Centro smartphone to combine my PDA and cell phone into a single device. It's pretty cool, but it is taking a little getting used to. Some things are a little different from my previous Palm PDAs.

iAudio COWON Q5W: http://www.cowonglobal.com/product_wide/product_Q5W_feature.php

5" screen with 800x480 resolution, plays a lot of formats:
Audio: MPEG 1/2/2.5 Layer 3, WMA, Ogg Vorbis, Wave, FLAC, MusePack, APE
Video: DivX, XviD, MPEG4, WMV 7/8/9
Has a 40GB harddisk, WiFi, BlueTooth, FM Radio and USB, and a Touch screen.
(you get a small remote control also)

Its acually running WinCE 5.0 (for MIPS) which means it has a InternetExplorer and can even run flash (yup youtube videos also, although somewhat slow in high-res).

I hate those over-the-ear headphones, so SONY DR-BT10CX BlueTooth in-ear phones to complete the set with the Q5W:

(with A2DP profile they have a 20-20000Hz frequency response)

I got a Geforce GTX 260 the other day for a good price (cheaper than our wholesalers)
It's pretty big! and quite fast too, can't wait for some new games to really test it out. Crysis is pretty boring. Hopefully Farcry 2 will be good.

Picked up a external hard disk, which can be directly hooked up to the tv. 750 gigs of movies, utaban and concerts!!

I was getting sick of how my Motorola Bluetooth headset kept dangling on my ear like it was going to fall off, so I got this.

The ear bud fits nice and securely/snugly in my ear, so the lack of an "over the ear" hook doesn't look like it's going to be an issue. It was on sale, so even after I bought the optional 3-year warranty I only spent about $60.

d-link dir-655

and it's about time I upgraded from my old one, which was a d-link di-524. that thing would drop connections every 10 minutes or so and when intense torrenting, would reboot probably from overheating (which is partly my fault cause of all the dust that collected around it >_> ). Online gaming was so bad as I'd disconnect so much. Haven't tested gaming yet but everything seems good.

Plus I could finally take advantage of the wireless n on the macbook. I get full signal in the farthest darkest corners of the house! And now I can stream vids from my pc with few hiccups. And can also take advantage of the gigabit ethernet from my pc and macbook, which I use to transfer files. Still need to do some other tests though.

Setup was fairly easy with a few un-plugging and plugging in of stuff. Took me a while to set up an ancient computer we still use to work with it, but I can't blame the router on that as I got it working by putting it back in default settings

.

It's an awesome home router and for less than $100.

SanDisk Cruzer Micro Thumbdrive - 16GB

Regular Price for it is approx. $90. Local WalMart here had them on sale for $50. Not that difficult of a decision to make.

I got an Auzen Prelude and some rams for me PC.
Goes good!
New headphones coming this week!

Sexiness in the form of these

have arrived!

Sound is pretty good, still burning in but they have a really nice soundstage compared to my old ones.
Also they're comfy, like boobs pressed against your ears. Not that I know what that's like but hey I can imagine

Next I'll probably get a new amp but that won't be till next year.

^ I have only one problem with those soft cussions: they tend to war very fast! Make sure you have spares in about 2 years.

You've never had a big boobed aunt hug you when you were little?
