I don’t own an iPod Shuffle and at this point, I should really get one for jogging and riding my bike. I’d get an arm-band for my 30GB 5G iPod but let’s get real and agree that they’re retarded-looking. You could even say they make you look “full retard.”  So with those options out, what’s a guy to do?

Try iStik. Stupid name, great idea - unless you’re wearing a pacemaker. Using neodymium magnets and a plastic casing, you essentially slide the magnets under your shirt and place the case on the outside. Opposites attract and presto - you’ve got yourself a wearable iPod case. Right now, iStik is available for the iPod Nano for $25, so I’ll leave it up to you to decide if it’s worth the cash. For $25 more, you can score a Shuffle!

I recently bought a new pair of sunglasses and didn’t need these cheap $6 Walgreens sunglasses I bought in Florida a year ago. With some time on my hands, I quickly modded them to resemble the pair Arnie wore in the classic action flick, The Terminator. This mod can most likely be done without solder, but we’re going to make our pair with solder. Ready to make? Read on.

When it comes to geeks, nothing beats Legos and Star Wars. Now you can have the best of both worlds on your wrist at all times.

I get it. A connector necklace for men is a much nerdier equivalent of the traditional symbol for males. So where is the socket necklace for women? Available for $27. —Sean Fallon

Inspired by the #1 rated cartoon of the 80’s comes these Voltron themed Reebok sneakers, creatively dubbed “The Voltron Collection”.

Ok, so maybe a 52â€? TV doesn’t cost an arm and leg (but it’s close), but there is more deception than that in the title. Headplay’s Personal Cinema System isn’t actually a 52â€? TV; it’s actually headgear that has a screen which looks the same size as a 52â€? TV because it is so close to your face. This strange looking contraption can be connected to many different devices, such as a PC, iPod, Xbox 360, or DVD player. Don’t worry; if you don’t have all those fancy gadgets, memory cards and thumb drives work also. With a resolution of 1024×768, you’ll have no trouble imagining you have a monster 52â€? TV in your house. Make sure you never wear this in a place where the general public could see you because you’ll look really stupid and become the laughing stock of you friends. Another precaution, if you’re playing gears of war with this on, play in an open area so you when you start getting into it you won’t hit anything. If this looks like the perfect substitution to that crappy TV you have right now, then pray that this won’t be too expensive; they reveal it at CES. — Nick Rice

This past holiday season many of us made New Year’s resolutions and received new gadgets, like cellphones and mp3 players. So we all decide to go running, but there is a major dilemma in our path: how do we carry our new gadgets while we’re running? Well some guys must have had this problem last year because this year they have offered a solution: the Tunebelt. The Tunebelt is a neoprene armband that allows you to carry your newest gadgets in something other than your pocket. It is said to be big enough to hold a smart phone, which means it has plenty of space for those tiny phones like the Razr. Lucky for you (and anyone around you), the Tunebelt is washable, so if you do actually go running you can wash off all that sweat. The Tunebelt only costs $20, which is worth it if you love to run with gadgets. The only question now is: are you carrying your high-tech smartphone for “workâ€? or to show off to all the suckers who go by you? — Nick Rice

Motorola is currently working on integrating all of your portable gadgets into something that will be handy and cool-looking. They were taking into account the fact that it seems as if every device only holds one purpose, causing us to carrying many different devices: iPods, cell phones, digital camera, you name it. Right now Motorola is working on different accessories that will be able to sync with each other. These accessories include: eye-wear, ear buds, a digital camera, pen, wristband (WDA – Wearable Digital Assistant), and a handheld. Don’t worry about wires because these will all be connected via Bluetooth.

So far only certain features of the accessories have been released: voice-recognition, an 800×600 display in the eye-wear, and the pen can write directly on the WDA. No one knows what exactly everything will do, but from the sounds of it, this looks to be a very promising endeavor for Motorola; everyone knows how much of a hassle carrying around 5 different devices can be. Plus, Motorola not only talks about making wearables have the most functionality, but also to make them very fashionable; you know the ladies love wristbands and sunglasses that can sync to each other.

Panasonic decided to go with a retro look with their new headphones, the RP-HTX7. These headphones incorporate a leather style headband, pastel painted headphones, and large cup headphones to bring back that look of the good-ole days. Not only does Panasonic give the RP-HTX7 a cool design, but they also give them cool features. Some of the features include 40mm drive unit, a 1.2 meter cord, a 2 meter extension cord, and a carrying pouch so you don’t scratch that beautiful paint job. Now who needs 2.2 meters of cord for headphones, that’s a little bit of overkill; no one puts their iPod down in their shoe when listening to it. The RP-HTX7s come in 5 different colors, light blue, light brown, green, black, and white, so everyone will be happy as they start trying to pretend their in the 70s. For $59, Panasonic’s RP-HTX7 headphones are a good buy if you want to listen to decent music and be totally stylin’ doing it. — Nick Rice
