Diamond Crusted iPod

by Josh Rubin

Last night, following the MTV Video Music Awards, P.Diddy hosted a HP sponsored after party. HP gave out lots of the new iPods, but P.Diddy got the one-of-a-kind-exclusive. Engadget hooked up the photos of the blingPod, which has an obnoxious HP logo made from over 120 diamonds. I can't honestly say I like this thing, but it's still outrageous enough to be post worthy.

Who made this tricked out little iPod? None other than Adrian Anz of Ava Computers.

Sony DSC-T3

by Josh Rubin

Sony, today, announced a few new digital cameras, including this, the DSC-T3. The T3 is an update to the T1-- my favorite pocket camera ever. The T3 has an even better LCD screen and comes in a slightly more compact package. As they did with the T11, the big sliding lens cover has been removed. It's great that the device is now thinner, but lens covers are very good things. They addressed this on the T3 by adding a very thin metal lens cover that instantly opens with the push of the power button. Nice. The T3 should be available in October for about US$500.

Check out DPReview for detailed specs, and Gizmodo for a round up of all the new cameras announced today.

Michael Cosentino photographs New York for all the world to see on his web site, Meccapixel. He has an incredible eye which is currently being applied to the documentation of how angry, yet unified New Yorkers are about the RNC.
