We gotta hand it to the folks who run SkinIt.com – they’re building a technology peripherals business based on the trends of 12-year-old girls. Actually, we should clarify – 12-year-old girls who like to put stickers on stuff.

SkinIt offers removable vinyl stickers – or skins – that cover the device of your choice – be it a Mac mini, Blackberry, PDA, cell phone, MP3 player or even your Tivo. Who would want to make their Tivo – and its remote – more attractive?:

“The SkinIt protects your Tivo from day-to-day use and adds a personal touch!”

What day-to-day use does your Tivo get? It just sits there.
