the it lists – fashion & trend blog

You’ve seen Apple’s latest invention – iPad – are you going to get one?  I’ll admit, touch screen technology hasn’t really wooed me enough the shell out the dough. Apple’s new tablet starts at $499 (for only 16GB) and goes up to a thousand bucks.  For the purpose of travel and convenience, I prefer a netbook over a tablet.

For all you fashionistas, you’ll love ASUS’s new Eee PC 1008P Seashell designed by Karim Rashid, a renowned industrial designer (and he’s Canadian and tons of his designs are in the MOMA – very cool).

It’s ultra slim at just 1″ and weighs a mere 1.1kg.  So, now that we know it’ll fit perfectly in your handbag, the exterior is striking with a mix of grids and wave-like patterns.  Priced at $499…not bad for a trendy netbook!

Eee PC comes in two colors – a matte finished coffee brown & glossy glazed hot pink. With an ergonomic chicklet keyboard, your fingers have enough space to type quickly and freely. Plus, the netbook comes with a webcam, in case you want to Skype your relatives in Europe. Battery life lasts for 6 hours.

It’s stylish, it’s light – I love it, I want it!!!

How cool is this. The new BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 includes a barcode scan to add contacts to your BlackBerry.

Say you want to add someone’s PIN info, but really how do you write down that PIN when you already have a martini in your free hand? Instead the camera on your ‘Berry scans the barcode of the other blackberry and voila you can add the person to your list!  Your BBM “it” list!

Instead of fumbling over PINs, now you can just scan and continue to have an ongoing convo every minute after that.  BBM just got a lil bit cooler with this new feature – and now we can take advantage of meeting new people faster thanks to blackberry.

Loving your barcode? well you can get a custom tshirt made with your own code on it from BerryBarCode.

Donna Karen’s sweater wrap is a hot seller. Why?  You get 10 sweater-looks for the price of one.  Sweet deal, you say.  Well, it’s economical, if you know how to properly twist, tie, wrap, or whatever to get the various styles.

Me, on the other hand, require a stylist to get those different looks (cuz it seems complicating to do on my own).  Solution. The fashion label just launched an iphone application called DKNY Cozy, which offers an instructional video and step-by-step visual guide on how to style the wrap. So, your iPhone works as a personal stylist (for FREE). Sweetness!

Clever idea as the app is more cost efficient for the company and environmentally friendly over the glossy printed guides.
