    Fashion + Weather = Feather. My friend Melisa of Feather Report and The Lil Bee has just launched the Feather Report iPhone app. Look to it as your own portable, personal style consultant. You'll never have to look out the window and wonder, "What am I gonna wear today?" It's rainy today in SF and this is the outfit that was picked out for me. I love it! What's great is that each of the items listed in the outfit for today are linked so you can purchase them directly from your iPhone. If I like today's outfit, I can easily save it to my favorites with a press of a button. I love to get exposed to new pieces of clothing and how to put them all together. Using a GPS weather tracker, Feather Report serves up a new outfit to your iPhone each day, based on your specific location. Outfits are categorized based on body types, occasions, and weather patterns. You can also search for outfits based on your individual needs such as Date Night, Out with the Girls, etc. If you're traveling, get weather forecasts for your upcoming trips. Sounds cool?

    Hot In The Hive: MovieWedge

    Man, do I wish I had discovered the MovieWedge in time for my last sleepless red-eye flight to New York! Think of the plushy little media player stand as a bean bag chair for your iPod -- it's tiny, squishy and portable, and props up your device at an adjustable viewing angle so you can watch videos on your device hands-free. Anyone who's had to entertain themselves on the go knows it's a pain to have to hold your player for hours at a time (or at least until your downloads run its battery life dry). Now you and your iPod can be cozy just about anywhere as it sits atop its little perch on any tray table, arm rest, or even on your lap!


    Price: $9.95

    Hot In The Hive: iTwinge iPhone Keyboard

    I think I'm one of the few people left in this world who still refuse to join the iPhone cult. I'll admit it, sometimes I get a little jealous when I see people at the gym listening to their music and making calls from one sleek device while I'm trying to juggle my PDA and my prehistoric video iPod... but I'm sorry -- I NEED a keyboard! REAL buttons that you push. Not a touchscreen with pretend keys and a "word predictor" that tries to guess what I'm trying to type through the inevitable typos. It shouldn't have to guess! Apparently our friends over at Mobile Mechatronics had the same frustrations, because they came up with one seriously genius idea: the iTwinge. It's an attachable keyboard that simply slips on over your iPhone, providing REAL push-able buttons for more accurate (and quicker) texting and e-mailing. Of course, I'm not sure if the convenience of having keys is worth having to constantly take the device on and off whenever you're done with an e-mail or text... so while this clever add-on is definitely worth the splurge for curious iPhone owners, I'm not sure if it's cool enough to make a convert out of a Palm girl like me!

    Hot In The Hive: Bluetooth Mini Phone

    Don't you love laughing at the crazy-looking people on the street who look like they're talking to themselves but are really just using a handy-dandy hands-free device? Or how about those folks driving on the freeway who look like they're bopping and singing along to the radio but are really just making a business call from that huge hunk of Bluetooth-activated plastic attached to their ear? If you're considering your own mobile accompaniment but don't want to look like you're deep in conversation with the voices inside your own head, look no further than the Bluetooth Mini Phone. Shaped like an actual handheld receiver, you can wear the phone like a semi-stylish pendant necklace & then when you want to make a call, you just pick it up and press call and start chatting! Oh. Wait. So it's not actually hands-free... but it's still pretty cute, and a clever sort of gimmick. And, uh, a great conversation starter?


    Price: 29,99 GBP

    Hot In The Hive: Grass Charging Valet

    Does this scenario sound familiar? You rush out the door after frantically looking for your iPod and Blackberry every morning only to find out you forgot to charge them the night before so they both die halfway through your commute. Yup, I'm totally guilty of this and I've finally found a solution. The grass charging valet is less than $10 and keeps my electronic devices charging all in one place. Plus the "grass" looks super cute on my hallway bureau and much more useful than my other fake plants! It's also a great addition to your office desk for a little bit of greenery and function if your devices ever run out of juice. Now you'll always be connected so you can stalk your Facebook friends and listen to your favorite tunes. Your mornings are going to be a lot less frantic hunting for your phone, though I can't say the same about your keys or finding that matching sock.

    Recycle Your Electronics (And Get Paid!) With YouRenew.com

    Want to get paid to recycle your electronics? It's so much easier to do the right thing when there's a cash bonus being dangled in front of you! You may not know it, but electronics like cell phones and laptops leak lead, mercury, and other icky stuff into our trash and water systems. That's where YouRenew comes in! Started by college buddies out of their dorm room, YouRenew coaxes you into going the extra step to recycle old electronics for some cash money. Search through their site and find the electronics you're trying to ditch by answering a few quick questions about the basics for your item (Does it turn on? Do you have the charger?). It then analyzes the data and tells you how much they'll pay for it. Print out the pre-paid shipping label and send it away (aka: make room for that fancy new iPhone!) and they'll pay you via PayPal! YouRenew will then either fix them up and resell them, or send them to their recycling partner. Some examples of what you can get back: a working 32GB iPhone can get you up to $396, and up to $20 for your Harry Potter box set of DVDs. Log on the YouRenew.com and see what you can get for those old electronics you have lying around!
