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.

Tigers & Monkeys' "Fire Escape" with SNL's Fred Armisen

Tigers and Monkeys is a fresh New York City indie band with a bluesy, Southern-accented vocal flavor that's been opening shows for the likes of The Shins in recent months. The band is the project of frontperson Shonali Bhowmik, a member of the indie-pop act Ultrababyfat. We've been getting hooked on Tigers and Monkey's tune "Fire Escape" and watching the song's music video in which Saturday Night Live's Fred Armisen appears, hangs out in his apartment and plays ping pong with the band. It's a good clip for a good tune. Mark your calendars: Tigers and Monkeys will play at Southpaw in Park Slope, Brooklyn on May 3rd. (Mad props to Kara K. for the tip.)
