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.

Bathing Ape Massive is a GO!

bam_logo_w428.jpg

Bathing Ape Massive is a GO! It's official. The Air Massive is launching a new spin-off weblog section called Bathing Ape Massive to chronicle development and media coverage of global, East-West design. This is an area we have leaned towards often enough on the Air Massive site.

In the Bathing Ape Massive (BAM) section, we will focus on design, whether its in the form of street style, sneakers, t-shirts, graphics, art, tech gadgets, lifestyle gear, media or even furniture -- from Yohji Yamamoto and Adidas sneakers and accesories to graphic t-shirts, from Zoo York skateboards to Muji chairs, from iPods and iPod cases to toys from Kubrick and Kid Robot.

The coverage will be tilted more on the street-level tip, but anything that strikes our design antennae is fair game. Check out our introducory post and meet the editors by clicking through to the new directory, Bathing Ape Massive.

One last note, an important disclaimer: Bathing Ape Massive, this new online design journal of Air Massive, is in NO WAY directly nor indirectly associated with the brands A Bathing Ape, BAPE, or Busy Work Shop.

Thank you, our readers old and new, for your continued support and feedback!
