Starting today, the free downloadable Yowza app available at the iTunes app store can get free coupons on their iPhone or iPod Touch which are redeemable at all Crate & Barrel and CB2 stores in the US. Special price-offs and discounts will be available at select items which should take the pain out of having to locate and clip or print coupons to get some good deals coming your way.

Google has done it again and prepared an excellent gift for some airports on the US: it will provide free Wi-Fi in on many airports and I bet that scenario will make a lot of people very happy. In some cases there will even be Wi-Fi during the flight, that is, if you’re travelling on Virgin America.

The free Wi-Fi gift from Google start on the upcoming Thanksgiving and ends on the 15th of January 2010. The total numbers include 47 airports, and approximately 500 million passengers.

Marissa Mayer from Google, comments:

We’re very happy to extend our Holiday Wi-Fi gift to the millions of people who will spend time in airports over the next few months. We know that this is a very hectic travel season for people, and we hope that free Wi-Fi will make both traveling and connecting with friends and family a little bit easier.

We talked about the Eee Keyboard all year long while waiting for Asus to make it official. Well guess what, folks, it’s still not available. The computer has been announced and then delayed at least a couple of times, and just when we thought we might actually see it in action we hear that the Eee Keyboard is being revised. Apparently the 5-inch resistive touchscreen panel is not good anymore and a capacitive touchscreen display will replace it. The new panel should offer a better touch experience as it will resemble the one found on various smartphones out there, including the iPhone.

The Eee Keyboard will probably not be available before Christmas so you can go ahead and scratch it off your letter for Santa.

You might have heard of a little thing called Chrome OS which is going to be Google’s own operating system for future nebtooks. Unfortunately the new OS is not available yet and we’ll have to wait until mid-2010 to see it in action. That will not stop Acer from unveiling a Google-power netbook before the year’s end. The dual-boot machine should be available just in time for Christmas. That means you’ll be able to send greeting cards either from an Android or Windows XP interface but we’ll totally understand if you decide to ignore that old XP for a while. We don’t have pricing details and exact arrival dates at this time but it’s just the beginning of October. There’s plenty of time for Acer to announce Aspire One’s brother.

De Vere London simply had to keep up with all those other fancy designers which are making all sorts of jewelry iPhone improvements. Its latest creation is the Midnight iPhone. It is an ”all black iPhone 3G” covered in diamonds. If you want to mix hot tech with bling bling, this is definitely a way to go:

The all black ‘Midnight’ iPhone that we have produced was originally intended to show off the diamonds set into it. It was never intended to just be an iPhone with a plain black bezel, until we realized how good it looks ‘naked’. White diamonds look spectacular against a black background!

They can add any number of diamonds from 25 to 425. That could be a nice Christmas gift for any woman. Well except for the price which makes you easily reconsider! See the prices go from $794 for the minimal number of diamonds to $17,518.00 for 425 pieces.
