Don’t say Apple hasn’t every done anything nice for you. The company announced today that it was cutting the price of its 1-gigabyte iPod Shuffle — to a surprisingly cheap price. We say surprisingly because it’s not often that the words "cheap" and "affordable" go with the word "Apple."

Unless you’re buying an actual apple, of course.

Apple has announced today the addition of a new pink iPod nano, available immediately in a 8GB model — and the ladies can hardly contain their pink-driven excitement.

But we digress — yay, pink nano!

Now, however, rumor has it that it’ll be appearing in the UK later this month, and users will be able to buy it from online retailer, Expansys on February 19th.

The touchscreen-tiny-laptop-Frankenstein-monster is set to sell for $1720, making it not only very hip, but also very expensive.

We’ve all dreamed of wearing 80s-themed sunglasses, watching our movies, and looking like awkward cyborgs. Well, now that dream is a reality with Myvu’s Video Glasses.

The glasses allow you to watch shows or movies as if they’re happening before they’re eyes — in fact, they will be, as the image is projected on the sunglasses.
