TECH GEAR
Mobile Devices We Like:
T-Mobile Sidekick and Sidekick II
Easy to use, unbusinesslike and not too techy-looking, we like the Sidekick 'cause it's easy on the thumbs for typing and is probably the most comfortable cell phone and text-messaging device in terms of keyboard size and design.
Palm Treo 650
The treo 650 is to the Sidekick what Prada dress shoes are to Adidas sneakers. Despite that analogy, the Treo will not win points for style compared to many cell phones, though the Treo is well-designed and nice on the eyes. The Treo is a so-called Smartphone and runs an OS for its Palm PDA functionality. Part phone, part PDA and part e-mail and Internet-enabled handheld computer, the 650 comes in slightly different versions for Cingular, Verizon, and Sprint. The best part of the 650 is its keyboard and high-resolution color screen.

Forget Record Crates: Stussy, Compost & Slam Jam Team Up for Limited Edition DJ Bag
Air Massive just got a peak at the perfect gift for the turntablist who has everything. German label Compost Records has just put word out that it's offering for sale a stylish new DJ-records bag called the Skull-DJ-Bag (pictured right).
What really makes this gear so cool was that it was a collabo design with Stussy and the Italian street-wear designer Slam Jam.
What also makes this DJ bag so special is that it's a limited edition item--they've made only 200 of these. Yes, ONLY 200! So how much is this merch going to kill your wallet? Try 80 euros. (Yeah, that stings a bit, doesn't it?)
And we know what you're thinking already: within a year, most of these bags will have been scooped up Japanese kidz who, by then, will probably be able to fetch 17 times the original purchase price on eBay.
But there's no denying the bag is cool. The detailing are pretty neat too. The double-"C" Compost logo is on there as is the Stussy skull and Slam Jam motif. The bag has lots of extra pouches, pockets and slots to put all kinds of things such as pens, magazines and the spare iPod or two. Plus it can store up to 35 records, which is--give or take a few records--about enough to put together a really slammin' one-hour DJ mix set.
For now the only way to get your hands on one of the Skull-DJ-Bag is either by sending an email to Compost Records to reserve one or by hunting it down on the label's website. Here's the email address: mailorder@compost-rec.com. Good luck... and did we mention that Air Massive needs a DJ bag for our birthday? Seeeeeeee yaaaaaaa!
