ShirtCityclub Review
The ShirtcityClub is the new, unique international T-Shirt Design Community! Designers from the USA, Europe & Japan create apparel for themselves and others like them! Absolutely UNIQUE: The customers decide on the product, its color, design and print!
Shirtcity definitely caters to a trendier crowd. While some of the sites we visited seemed to be geared more for businesses or the older generations, Shirtcity definitely markets itself to the twenty-something generation.
There's plenty to do at Shirtcity.com. You can browse through the t-shirts for sale at the Shirtcity Club, read through the Shirtcity blog, design your own t-shirt or even open up your very own Shirtcity store.
Designing a shirt at this site was very easy – much easier than it was at some of the other sites we visited. While we'd have liked the text customization features to be a bit richer, we couldn't complain much about the overall design experience.
Opening a Shirtcity shop was also easy. Just pick your shop name, customize it a bit and begin designing shirts to sell. It took us less than fifteen minutes to sign up for an account and have things up for sale.
For those who are pretty confident in their shirt design abilities, you might want to consider entering the Shirtcity design contest. If you win your shirt will be sold on the site and you'll get a $500 prize.
If you just don't have the time or creativity to design your own shirt, you can still shop at this trendy site. The Shirtcity club sells designs created by other site members. We found quite a few we liked, and it seems that a lot of talented artists use the site to publish their designs.

3g Aigo P8888 Mid
With CES 2009 a mere month away, I don’t have much time left to find my ideal mobile blogging device. My original vision of walking the showroom floor with the Gigabyte M528 MID was abandoned after its US product page was removed and delivery estimates were pushed back, so it was with renewed hope that I read UMPCPortal’s news yesterday that the 3G-enabled Aigo P8895 (a model number that was not included in the original launch announcement) would be globally available through mobilx this month.After confirming that US consumers were exempt from paying VAT (despite the “$861 inc VAT” price on the product page), I was pretty much sold. Without VAT, the black Aigo with built-in 3G and 3-megapixel rear camera would only be $717, less than $20 more than the 3G/cam-less white P8860 MID.
