Awesome Mac-based video guestbook for your wedding

This is how fast I’d like to be able to bring you the awesomeness on my constant quest for it: I literally just saw this tweet by @LelaNewYork and I had to share this very cool idea with you.

LOVE: Awesome Wedding Video Guest book! Works on a MAC... http://bit.ly/bMqfwi”” On 9:42 PM Aug 2nd 2010 from Twitter for iPhone

.

For $99 US, Thrilled For You sells software for a customized themed video guestbook. You install the application and run an iMac or similarly iSight equipped Mac in kiosk mode at your wedding or reception. Then, as the emotion moves them, your guests, your family, your friends, your former lovers will take turns standing in front of the camera and expressing just how happy they are for you… or how drunk they are.

It’s a brilliant idea and you can download a demo for free. [Via Lela New York Wedding Blog]

Pod à porter – neckband for iPod shuffle

shuffleneckband 370x277 Pod à porter neckband for iPod shuffle

In a time when it’s all about multi-touch technology and the ability to download apps, the iPod without a screen is oft forgot.

While surfing my usual haunts on these, our interwebs, I came across the Pod à Porter. It’s a neckband that attaches to the top of your iPod shuffle and channels the earbud cable around a rigid loop that you can hook around your neck.

Pod à porter is the easiest way to wear your music – even if you’re not wearing much. No more headphones dangling by your knees; no more ripping the buds from your ears when you take off your jacket.

The Pod à Porter sells for US$ 27.001 and is simple, but awesome.

  1. € 20.72 [↩]

Kindle for iPad and iPhone adds audio and video support

Kindle for iPad and iPhone adds audio and video supportI really love what Amazon is doing with its Kindle platform. It’s everywhere and available to almost everyone even if they don’t have an actual Kindle device. It’s a great and unique book reading experience no matter how you access it.

Just today, Amazon started making Kindle books available that have audio and video content Kindle for iPad and iPhone adds audio and video support. The part I find particularly interesting about this move is that so far it only benefits non-Kindle-device using iPad and iPhone users! Amazon has given the best version of their reading experience to people using a competing device.

If you haven’t already, you can download the Kindle app for iPhone or iPad for free from the iPhone App Store. If you’ve already downloaded it, you need only launch the App Store app on your iDevice to grab the new version.

I’m curious to know how many of you own an actual Kindle device? Why did you choose it? I own both a Kindle DX and an iPad and so far I’m digging them both for different reasons.

I’m curious to know what you think… leave me a comment below!
