You may be like me when it comes to pressing gadgets against my skin, I can sometimes break out horribly. Well, there is a funky new MP3 player from Japan (where else?!) which may actually help as it, get ready for this claim, cleans skin as you listen to the music. Erm, how many MP3 players do you normally press against your skin anyway?

The product by mpion uses negative Ions and, according to Tech, can clean skin pores when applied to the face far better than old-fashioned soap and water. Apparently, the two modes that can be activated alternately banish microscopic dirt or help diffuse skin cream.

Well, that’s the marketing buff anyway. For over $150 it’s not exactly a cheap gizmo and it only comes with 128MB of memory for the music.

I’ve never been a Zune fan. But there’s nothing not to want about their latest edition. The 30GB MP3 Player now comes in a lovely little pink. Like cotton candy. And bubble gum. And a Johnson & Johnson baby lotion bottle.

Wirelessly share selected full-length sample tracks, playlists, pictures or your home-grown tracks directly from Zune to Zune. This bad girl stores up to 7,500 songs, 25,000 pictures or 100 hours of video.

Who says you have to wait for May. Get it now at Amazon.

Born to be worn. Apparently. The itsy bitsy, teeny weeny, little iPod shuffle-eeny.

Apple’s latest toy mp3 player, the iPod Shuffle, now comes in four new tarty colors. And by ‘tarty’ I mean Willy-Wonka-nerds-tarty. You know, the sour little candies with a big nose. Make a fashion statement with up to 240 of your favorite songs. Use the handy, dandy built in clip to dress up your shirt, handbag or waistband.

I know I keep posting gadgets that aren’t yet meant for American shores, but who can blame me when they look like this. Sony Ericsson are set to release the first proper Bravia handset some time in June. And by Bravia I mean a mobile phone that has a built in TV tuner with time-shift video recording. A 3 inch wide screen with a slide function allows horizontal TV viewing. All the obligatory camera/mobile bits are also there. Bad news? Right now the Bravia phone will be staying in Sony country.

Just another goody the Japanese will be getting before us.

The gadget world has been all abuzz recently about this 3-n-1 little beauty due out sometime this summer. Maybe. (See Legal-ease Stuff).

If you’re interested in new and improved technical bits, google “iPhone” or go straight to Apple.

Pretty beats power in Motorola’s latest goody. More for the ladies than the gentlemen, the MOTORIZR Z3 is Moto’s first attempt at the slider design. This snazzy new slimline LCD mobile, according to CNET, has a satisfactory call quality similar to the GSM KRZR, a “respectable” batter life of 6.5 hours and a suped up volume level.

The built in camera got less than savory reviews as did the button layout. The speakerphone isn’t extraordinary either, but hey, it’s pretty. And red. CNet says it’s a solid performer ladies.
