It’s crazy how many old cell phones and chargers most people have sitting around the house. I have a huge drawer in my office filled with nothing but cell phones and phone accessories. There must be at least six – and a couple of chargers for each of them. And a car charger or two. And some old PDA’s, too, now that I’m thinking about it. I’d love to get rid of all that stuff – but I never really had a clue of what to do with all of it. It’s not like I’m going to toss a bunch of cell phones in the garbage can.
Did you know you can drop all your old cell phones, pagers, PDAs, chargers and other communications accessories at any Staples
store? They’ll recycle them and better still, they’ll donate a portion of proceeds to the Sierra Club
.
Clean your house – help green the planet! How great is that!

What a great gift for Valentine’s Day! Or just about any other day!
Say I love you with an iPhone, iTouch or iPod – and your Valentine will keep you close to your heart long after flowers would have faded or chocolates would have long since been eaten. And if your one true love already has the phone or media player of their dreams, then you can always thrill them with new accessories, a case, docking station, bluetooth device or other add-ons.
And, of course, for devoted users of all things iPhone, iTouch and iPod, you can’t go wrong with the gift of iTunes Gifts
including all the latest iPhone Applications
.

Believe it or not, my laptop was not the only thing that crashed before I left for my big journey. The day before that happened, my iPhone 
developed a weird problem. The little switch on the side that turns the ringer on and off suddenly got loose in its little housing and stopped working. A major problem, as far as I’m concerned. I need to be able to use my phone silently. Anyway, I made an appointment and stopped in for a little visit at the Apple Store 
Genius Bar.
Overall, I have to say it was one of the most positive technical failure experiences I’ve ever had. Especially with the phone. Since the switch was the only thing that wasn’t working, I synched and backed up my phone and iTunes before heading over to the Apple Store . I arrived about 10 minutes early as the suggest and much to my surprise there was a Genius ready to help me right then. Within a couple of minutes he quickly verified the problem, decided that the phone needed to be replaced and confirmed that this would all be covered for free as part of the Apple Care package I purchased for my phone. The replacement phone is exactly the same as the phone I had and my original Apple Care support is still valid for the balance of that contract (over a year) so if I have another problem, I’m still covered. I was out the door in less than 15 minutes with a phone that worked. Once I got home I plugged the replacement phone into the computer – a message flashed on the screen asking if this was a replacement iPhone or an additional iPhone to be activated. One click later all of my contacts, music, calendars, text messages and e-mails were restored to the new phone – it was miraculous. I never expected to old text messages to be restored. And it only took about 5 minutes!
These days it’s all too rare to have a truly positive customer service experience -especially when it comes to a mobile phone. Kudos to Apple Store .
I’ve loved my iPhone ever since the day I took it out of the box, but I’m an even bigger fan now.
Thought you’d want to know.

Oh my god! I can’t even believe how passionately I am in love with my new iPhone. First of all, let me make it clear that I am totally NOT a gadget person. I could barely work my cell phone or my PDA. I even had trouble operating my iPod mini. The truth is, I probably would never have even dared to try an iPhone – I’d have been scared to death at operating such an integrated device. Oh was I wrong! I was a lucky, lucky girl this year and actually received my new 8 gig iPhone as a birthday gift last month.
Within minutes of removing it from the box, the phone was up and running with my same phone number and all of my contacts, calendars and mail accounts were synchronized from my Outlook file. Now I’m an iPhone pro – I watch YouTube videos on the subway, check e-mail in elevators and I’ve even created my own custom ringtones. I’m currently answering to Tom Petty’s classic ‘I Need to Know’! Every time I connect the phone to my computer, all my contacts, e-mail accounts, music, videos – EVERYTHING – is automatically synchronized. I never knew that my electronic life could be this fabulous. And now, instead of having three devices in my purse – I only need one. I’m in iPhone heaven. Purchase an 8GB iPhone for just $399 
and shop the entire world of iPhone Accessories 
at the Apple Store . Whether you need a new phone or not. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or looking for an awesome gift for someone really lucky! No matter the reason. Go iPhone. Just do it. Trust me. Life could not possibly be better. Get free ground shipping on all orders over $50!

Like many other cities, Chicago has recently enacted a ‘hands free’ cell phone ordinance. If you are caught driving while talking on a cell phone without a headset or speaker, you just might be the lucky recipient of a very expensive ticket. And truthfully, ticket or not, using a hands free headset is really much safer and is an excellent idea for everyone. The only problem – background noise. Sometimes it’s almost impossible to hear or be heard on one of those little bluetooth things.
Not anymore. This Jawbone Bluetooth Headset (JB001BLK) employs state of the art wireless technology to virtually eliminate all background noise. $119.95 at The Sharper Image

Most new hot gadgets that are predicted to change our lives turn out to be a bit of a disappointment. And then came the iPod. And then the Video iPod. And now….
The new iPhone. Michele has one and so does my pal, The Gasman. The one word they both keep repeating… Cool. It’s really cool. So cool. Totally cool.
And don’t worry, you don’t need to stand in line like those people on TV. Order your phone and accessories directly from the source – Apple Store
