What's New This Season?
By James Chung
The TMX2 mp3 system by
Timex is a clippable watch with
alarm and countdown timer
that also plays up to two hours
of music. Clip it to your
knapsack, your jeans or just
toss it in your bag. With 64
MB storage, you can also store
other files worth saving like
homework assignments,
pictures, and video clips.

If you have
something to say,
and you find
yourself speechless,
share it with the new Nokia
7650. This cell phone includes
an integrated digital camera
for taking and storing photos,
which you can email directly
from your phone. So, instead
of spending ten minutes
describing the hottie in the
mall, email a picture.

Blu-ray discs will be replacing
DVDs as the new standard for
home entertainment. The
current single sided, single
density DVD can record just
over two hours of regular TV
broadcasts while the new disc
will have the capacity to record
13 hours. Imagine the entire
Star Wars series all on one disc.

Tierney Rides offers a
skateboard that rides like a
snowboard. Torsion Response
Technologytm makes serious,
aggressive street carving
possible. You can carve the
sidewalk with ease and cruise
with less rolling resistance,
greater control, and get a
totally fluid ride. If you’ve got
to go somewhere, go in style.

Nike Sphere technology
amplifies your body’s own
ability to heat and cool itself.
Its 3-dimensional fabric

what you’re wearing, to
create your own personal
atmosphere.
