Sony Ericsson has recently added 4 cellphones that can be mentioned as upgrades of previous versions, I will mention 2 of them that I liked and would probably buy if money wasn’t a problem. While cellphones don’t have the right to a daily appearance on Coolest Gadgets (which is good) these newborns deserve some attention because they are kind of unique.

After all, gaming is a multi-billion dollar industry, so any peripheral which enhances the gaming experience will naturally end up as a big seller. The Ear Force X1 amplified headphones aim to give hardcore gamers the edge over their opponents which they so crave for.

It is rather ironic that a machine which takes nothing but money from the local church’s congregation is called SecureGive. These Giving Kiosks brings a whole new dimension to giving your tithes and offerings as there is no longer any need to pass the collection plate around during the weekly service. Members will not need to carry cash or checkbooks with them in order to make a donation – all they have got to do is to insert their ATM card and go through a series of simple menus in order to enter the amount of dollars that he or she wants to donate for the greater good.
