verizon wireless today unveiled the lg decoy, a multi-tasking slider with a built-in bluetooth headset.

designed with a glossy mirror-like front and satin back finish, the decoy is the world's first phone to have a detachable bluetooth handsfree headset integrated into the design. the headset slips into the back for easy transport and charging.

the slider integrates a 5-way directional joystick to quickly navigate through the u. it also has a built-in music player, 2.0-megapixel camera and camcorder and microsd memory port.

with high-speed 3g connectivity, the decoy supports vcast music to download from over 2 million songs and vcast video to stream entertaint clips, sports highlights, breaking news, weather and more.

vz navigator uses gps to get visual and audible directions to thousands of destinations. so travelers can locate businesses and other points of interest, get maps of locations, and share directions with others.

the decoy offers applications, downloadable games, music and other content to enhance customers' lifestyles, said mike lanman, chief marketing officer of verizon wireless. "by unveiling these devices now, we are giving our customers the opportunity to choose the device that's right for them."

off the bench, judge blogs her mind

for those who think the typical blogger is a twenty-something tapping on a laptop while wearing pajamas and listening to death cab for cutie through earbuds, a brookline woman who blogs on legal affairs for slate magazine is an anomaly.

when i first laid eyes upon the new silver jews album, lookout mountain, lookout sea, i thought i had seen perhaps the most adorable album cover in the world. but then i wondered... what other album covers existed, perhaps solely, to bring a tear to my eye? and i'm not talking about kids' albums. those don't count, as their m.o. is to be cute (many of them, nevertheless, are terrifying). so, if you're looking for another way to categorize, list, and rate your extensive cd collection (which, yes, i would love to see), might i suggest considering the cuteness of your albums? while many records try to get your attention by puttin' a tingle in your pants, these album covers put a tingle in your heart. so it is with great pleasure that i now present the 30 most adorable album covers...that i know of. prepare to get a heart boner. 30. the beach "pet sounds" some people might find the image of the band feeding goats an indicator of some sort of relationship with satan (obviously!). whatever the meaning, this trip to the petting zoo is super cute. 29. death cab for cutie "something about airplanes" death cab is oh so cutie with that tiny, tentative sketch of a little row boat. 28. lisa loeb "o lisa" o kitty. 100% adorable. lisa loeb? 98% adorable.
