If you're tired of the dreary old iPod interface and you're looking for something different in your portable media player, you might want to take another look at Zune. I picked up the Halo 3 Special Edition Zune this week and to be honest I'm more in love with the thing than I thought I'd be. The FM tuner...

We'll be heading off to IFA soon and one of the many things we hope to be bringing you some video footage of is this bright new media player from Samsung. This is a dinky little number that still fits in a 2" colour screen and 30 hours of battery life (four hours if you're watching video) and support Bluetooth 2.0 wireless streaming.

We don't normally write about competitions here on Shiny Shiny, but sometimes they're just too good to resist. Just yesterday I was complaining that Skype being down meant I had to try to use facial expressions instead of emoticons. Well now, Symantec have gone one better and asked people to make their face look as much like an emoticon as possible.

Does having a Second Life mean having a second
wife

Coca Cola launches their exciting new movie, the Happiness factory, about an office worker who finds zen in fizzy pop, and where better then to release this fantasy scenario than in virtual world the Second Life? You have to love how Avril manages to be perfectly replicated though, down to the 'I'm a bad girl, me', pink streaks in her peroxide hair.

Vivitar Waterproof Digital Camera is Three Kinds
of Ugly

Vivitar has a new digital camera that just might be the most hideous piece of digital camera tech to ever roll off the assembly line. It appears to be colored in a safety orange hue, perhaps to help keep the photographer from being shot if the cam is used ...
