• Beverly Hills 90210 iPod Now Offered for Limited Time
• HP Deal: 20% off Single Function Mono LaserJet Printers
• LG BD300 Blu-ray Player Can Stream Netflix Movies
  

Just in case staring at album covers wasn’t enough to do on your iPod, now you can stare at Dylan and the gang from Beverly Hills 90210!

I know, not that exciting, but I’m sure there are 2,000 people out there that’ll enjoy the Beverly Hills 90210 Edition.

The CBS store is currently offering this commemorative iPod dedicated to the hit TV show for only a limited time. The first 2,000 fans who purchase every 90210 season on DVD will have a chance to pick up the engraved nano in either black or silver. They run slightly more expensive than the regular iPod nanos, where the 4GB go for $219 and the 8 GB go for $269.

You didn’t think anything that had Beverly Hills in the title would be cheap did you?

Sorry, drama and backstabbing not including.

Forget about getting the new pink iPod nano or Blackberry. Show your Valentine’s Day love with another cheesy gift.

Give your significant other a piece of your heart. Literally.

This Newman Heart mp3 player allows to split it down the middle and lets you keep one and give the other half to someone else.

The only problem is, I don’t know where to get one. But hey, they’re good to look at. So print out this picture and say hey, “it’s not my fault I didn’t get one. It’s cause this blogger didn’t know where to buy one” excuse. If you still have a girlfriend after that, then, you’re welcome.

Pretty much everything this time of year is colored pink and red and Apple is jumping on the bandwagon with their media player.

Apple announced recently that they were releasing their iPod Nano in pink to help celebrate Valentine’s Day.

Not a bad idea.

I don’t know how long Apple will be leaving the pink iPod nano on the shelves, but I suggest they at least keep it going for a bit after Valentine’s Day so that the guy’s who forget about the holiday, have a chance to bail themselves out with this unique gift.

If the main reason why you wouldn’t buy an iPod is because you couldn’t afford any songs for it, well it looks like you’ve run out of excuses.

Now at the Apple Store online, you can get a 2GB Apple iPod PLUS 500 songs for only $149.00. That is practically a steal considering songs on iTunes run for .99 cents a piece.
