David Beckham Gets a Gold iPod Touch

5:20AM Jason Chen | We thought Beckham had been officially exiled from his home country, but apparently he’s back and captaining their squad. His teammates were sooooo thrilled at his return that they all chipped in and purchased a gold iPod Touch (probably from these people) and engraved his name on the back. Not only that, they engraved what it was for—his 100th captain-ship—so Becks wouldn’t think that it was for being the most handsome guy on the squad. In comparison, I expect something along these lines when I reach my 10,000 blog post. Maybe a solid gold keyboard. Or some money. [Telegraph] More »

(PRODUCT) RED finally lands: buy gadgets, feel good

11:55AM Seamus Byrne | I’ve been waiting quite some time for this (PRODUCT) RED action to arrive here in Australia. It’s all about sexy new product colours with profits going to charity. Everybody wins! We’ve got hot new colours of RAZR V3 (if you’re one of the eight people who don’t already own one) and an H500 headset from Motorola. Strangely, the (PRODUCT) RED Motorola action is attached to Optus – wouldn’t Voda be a better match? Or were they worried the colour would clash with the hue of their own red? Hmmm… Anyway, this is a bundle (RAZR + H500) going for $249. My favourite is the RED iPod nano. I’ve been a nano hold out since I first saw this one pop up last year, and now I can finally succumb to the tasty red goodness. It’s in 4GB and 8GB, for $279 / $349. More product pics after the jump, including a gratuitous David Beckham shot for the ladies. More »
