Have any of you had experience with Unique Skins? I get all kinds of notices and emails from people; it seems Unique Skins added the Xoom to their lineup of available devices for custom skins… along with a ton of other devices they already supported and new ones being added all the time.
You basically upload a photo/image/picture and then they send you a skin or custom gel case with your image on it.
I like what one of the guys over at BackBlaze did to his Mac. Sweet.
I think I might skin the back of my Xoom to look like an iPad 2.

I’m working on a couple of small (and I do mean small) projects that require tiny storage. First up on my storage testing is USB! Check out what I received in the mail today; MicroSD (AKA TransFlash) to USB adapters! On the bottom, the one I bought on Amazon is made/distributed by elago. On the top, one I bought at Frys for $2.99 is made/distributed by Inland.
The one I ordered from Amazon is front loading, through the metal USB portion and can be ejected by pushing the yellow piece inward. The one from Frys loads from the back (you can see the card peeking out in the picture, if you look closely) and can be pulled out with your fingernail.

Android is screaming ahead of the other phone OSes… with an added 7% of the market since January. Android consumes a full 33% of handsets on the market, with Apple holding steady at 25%. Poor ol’ RIM is kickin’ it in the rear, having fallen to 29%…
Wait, what? That’s right… RIM is still ahead of Apple in the US market. Makes you rethink just how much the iPhone fan group truly is the vocal minority, eh?
Thing is, Microsoft has dropped to 7.7% and HP fell flat on it’s face with a trivial 2.8%. Both platforms giving up market share to Android.

This might actually be worth checking out!
I’ve added a widget on the page from BeFrugal that searches Amazon.com for extremely discounted stuff. Check in the sidebar, or click here.
You can select up to 90% discounted items, in any category. In addition, you can leave the search keyword blank and get a nice list of all the discounted items on Amazon. Here’s a pre-selected search for 90% off in electronics (our favorite category!)
Very sweet. Thanks BeFrugal!

Brother vibration recharged battery
Vibration charged batteries… seems backward to me.
I just had to pass this along — a vibration recharged battery. Finally, I can pull my old walkman cassette player out of the garage and… uhm. I mean my MP3 player… no, wait… Remote control? Yeah! My remote control.
And no, you can’t ask “Exactly what are you doing with the remote control that recharges it so rapidly?”
Sheesh. Get your mind out of the gutter, sick-o.

Want a desk that allows you to sit OR stand? Check out the Biomorph Interactive Desk, and enjoy the “circle of power” ergonomic layout.
Biomorph offers a ton of options and desk styles, so be sure to check out their gallery.
I’m still a big fan of the manufacturer Anthro; check out their Fit Adjusta desk — with the ability to add their modular components, you can have a nice swing-arm monitor solution (adjustable for height and viewing angle) as well as being able to adjust desk tilt for either the back or front independently. Oh, and you can always go with their cool casters, or feet for added stability.

Hey folks, Amazon.com has some seriously great instant rebates
on select Logitech devices!
If you’re in the market for a new wireless keyboard, webcam, or sound system, be sure to check out these deals.
I find the Logitech diNovo Edge Keyboard
particularly interesting, with the new-fangled TouchDisc (just like on the DiNovo Mini) and kick-ass recharging station/keyboard stand.
