Join Sprint delivers the Samsung Conquer 4G

After all, they will be rolling out the Samsung Conquer 4G this coming August 21st. Just what does the Conquer 4G bring to the table? How about Android 2.3 Gingerbread as the operating system right out of the box, where this means you need not wait for an update.

Nokero solar powered phone charger
Many of us go to bed at night with our smartphones hooked up to a charger, making sure that we would be more than ready for the next day’s gruelling office run, where you have phone calls to make, text messages to send, emails to reply to, and even checking in your Foursquare account to make sure that you have not lost Mayor status at your favorite coffee haunt. That sounds like the norm for plenty of folks, but wait a moment and spare a thought for those who live in less developed countries, where getting an iPhone 4 is practically out of the question.
Those folks will have to settle for feature phones with monochrome screens instead, and forget about 3G or Wi-Fi connectivity. Heck, chances are pretty good they won’t even have access to electricity in their own homes – up to 500 million of them, according to a Hong Kong and Denver-based company who is currently trying to push their solar-power charging panels which targets those who live in off-grid, often impoverished regions of the world.

Huawei looks into the future with Huawei Vision
It isn’t like Huawei to lead the way when it comes to the latest and greatest smartphone, and certainly their upcoming release, the Huawei Vision, isn’t going to be the standard bearer for this niche market. What it offers, however, is mid-range functionality for an Android-powered smartphone, and at the very least Huawei has the smarts to roll it out with Android 2.3 Gingerbread – which means you need not drum your fingers on the table and wonder just when will they release an update if you were to be on Froyo instead.
The Huawei Vision lives up to its name by being a visually striking smartphone, sporting a new 3D user interface that might seem to be rather gimmicky to some at first glance, in addition to a carousel animation display. There is the
1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM 8255 processor running underneath the hood, crammed into an aluminum alloy unibody that will come in rose gold, silver or charcoal shades, alongside a curved touch design. What are some of the other hardware packed within? Just check out the rest of the story after the jump and you’re good to go.

Aqua Phone Case
If you are that busy and need to answer your phone even when you participate in watersports or go swimming, then you would wish that some engineer out there actually managed to discover a way to mechanize fish’s gills and incorporate it into the smartphone – but until then, you will need to be happy with the £19.99 Aqua Phone Case. This is a form-fitting waterproof case that will ensure not a drop of water will seep inside to harm your smartphone in any way.
Water is not the only ‘enemy’ that the Aqua Phone Case will prevent from getting into your smartphone’s pants, er, case, as it also provides protection against sand, dust and snow. With a touch-sensitive skin, you can be sure that your touchscreen display will still work, meaning you can play Angry Birds when you go scuba diving the next time around. Perfect for amateur underwater photographers or videographers, don’t you think so?
John’s Phone brings communication back to the basics
Take a look at the smartphone in your hand today, and think back of the handset which you used to use over a decade ago. There was no camera obviously, the screen is a one-liner affair (hello, Ericsson and Motorola!) in monochrome glory. Oh yeah, text messaging was considered to be a high end “feature”, and you certainly can’t play your CDs or cassettes on the phone! John’s Phone rolls back the years, as this back-to-basics handset which comes in white, black and gold shades for £59.99, £69.99 and £84.99, respectively, comes with a pen and book for your contacts.
Yup, that’s right – it is back to the analog road, and your battery life is conserved to do one thing and just one thing only – make and receive calls. There isn’t even a display on this, so just make sure you dial the right number and you’re good to go. Oh yeah, it comes unlocked and will work with just about any SIM card worldwide. If you want your kids to hate you for life, get them the John’s Phone instead of an iPhone.
PowerSkin wants to protect your BlackBerry Bold and Curve while offering power simultaneously
When it comes to your smartphone device, it goes without saying that getting the right kind of protective case is important – after all, you can never quite tell just when you would experience a “butterfingers” moment, often resulting in scratches and even worse, a broken display (and heart). Well, PowerSkin is an old hand at providing the right kind of protection for your smartphone, and it also adds more value as your protective case also will offer a battery boost.
Yes sir, PowerSkin has announced new battery-boosting, shock-absorbing skins for the BlackBerry Bold and Curve series, not to mention sweetening the deal with a $10 discount as well as free shipping.

Phantom Keyless Home Entry
Considering that there is an App for just about everything now, I am not surprised that there is mobile software to replace one’s keys.
Phantom Smart Home’s new Keyless Home Entry system recently announced a new lock system that allows the user to unlock their door with a smartphone application. It uses Bluetooth technology, and users have to set up the lock to recognize their mobile phones before they leave.
In case of lost phone, it only takes a simple re-pair. That is, you will have to pair it again with your new phone. It is a hassle, but at least you won’t have to replace your locks. You can also use a regular key if you’re still into that old-school, non-digital thinking.

Home Plus creates virtual grocery store at a subway station
According to Home Plus (also known as Tesco), the Koreans are the second hardest working people in the world. I don’t know who is the first, but according to my Source, the Koreans think shopping is a real chore in their busy schedules.
Home Plus has made grocery shopping easier by putting virtual grocery store aisles in subway stations. While subway riders are waiting for the next train, they can peruse the pictures of food that are made to look just like grocery store aisles.
The only difference is that pictures of food have QR codes. A smartphone user takes picture of the product, and then pay for the items. I am guessing that payment is done through some online service. I know for sure that the actual items will be delivered to the home.
