Not everyone likes earbuds. They don’t fit in the ear, they fall out, they itch – A lot of reasons. Professional molds to make it comfortable would cost almost $1,000 to get made. But maybe there is a better solution?

That is where Yurbuds comes in. It’s a ear cover system that will “lock” into your ears. Then you can jog, work or do activities and the headphones will not fall out.

We did backchannel video on Yurbuds as well, but Todd Cochrane really tested out this interesting product. The price for these covers is low – $19.99 each. It also helps you hear the music or podcasts like ours. It might be a great alternative to expensive headphones.

I got to play with a Developer Android G1 on Sunday (Thanks Abraham!). It was an interesting experience and something totally different from the iPhone. Here is what I saw:

Layout – Slider screen The phone only slides the screen to reveal the keyboard. That leaves the button layout on the right side (in landscape mode) in the way. I was able to palm a button while working on it, which ultimately took me out of what I was doing.

I saw you back in Comdex in 83 – You were a exciting new technology – a marvel to me with a touchscreen.

Ohhhh, ohhh

But times have changed and you are now put to the side – the integration with the phone makes it real nice – and you get tossed in the scrap pile to die.

Ohhh, ohhh

ohhh, ohhh
