Gresso adds some steel to your smartphone

April 6th, 2008 by Edwin in Mobile Phones

gresso-lunasol.jpg

So you’re thinking of rocking to a Windows Mobile smartphone, but am not sure on just which handset to settle upon? Gresso from Russia has the solution which might answer your prayers by offering the “Sol Steel” and “Luna Steel” that will retail for approximately $5,500 each. The cases themselves are made out of luxurious materials according to Gresso, including 200-year-old African Blackwood, sapphire crystal glass, steel, and titanium. Now that’s luxury if I ever saw one. Good thing no diamonds were thrown into the fray as that would’ve definitely put this out of reach for most people, but that isn’t to say every Tom, Dick and Harry has $5,500 to spare in their bank account in the first place.

iGo Mobile Charger for Mobile Devices

April 4th, 2008 by Mark R in Coolest Mobile News, iPod gadgets, Mobile Phones

iGo Mobile Charger for Mobile Devices

Considering that every mobile device needs to be charged, it would be nice to have something that you can use just in case you get into a pinch. After all, I can’t begin to count the times where my cell phone is about to die, and there isn’t an outlet handy that I can use for the next hour.

Enter the iGo, a mobile device charger that is mobile. The kit comes with two Duracell AA batteries that allow a user to plug into a mobile device in order to recharge and/or power it.

Plasma displays coming to cell phones

April 4th, 2008 by Edwin in Mobile Phones, Electronic Gadgets

panny-plasma-phone.jpgPanasonic will be bringing together its two divisions in new product initiatives, with plasma video displays for cell phones being one of them while AT&T’s recently unveiled Mobile TV service being the other. Today, we shall look at the former, as the very word ‘plasma’ evokes a sense of wonder among buyers as they know this technology is superior to LCD displays in many aspects, albeit taxing the pockets a whole lot more. With Pioneer and Fujitsu already bowing out of the plasma business, it makes perfect sense for Panasonic to strive even harder to capture customers from those companies. It seems that Panasonic’s latest plan would be to include miniature plasma displays in future cell phones - something I look forward to with great anticipation.

Yahoo! relies on voice commands for search

April 3rd, 2008 by Edwin in Software, Mobile Phones

We have all become too comfortable with the idea of performing searches by entering a query in our favorite search engine, but Yahoo! is about to introduce a paradigm shift to the world by enabling users to use voice commands to search the web instead. Boerries, executive vice president of Yahoo’s Connected Life unit mentioned that “This is really a sea change. This is not about simple Web links any more.” Guess with more and more people surfing on their cell phones, it makes perfect sense to increase accessibility to web links on these handsets. Yahoo!’s latest oneSearch service will be the latest thrust from the Microsoft target in order to further gain market share that have eroded sharply since the emergence of Google. The idea of using voice commands to perform search is certainly novel, as it enables publishers to provide highly categorized information which enables them to have a greater say in what they want users to see, including greater control on its presentation.

GestureTek offers iPhone-like functionality

April 1st, 2008 by Edwin in Gaming Gadgets, Mobile Phones

gesturetek.jpgGestureTek Mobile will take advantage of the CTIA Wireless even in Las Vegas by showing off its patented EyeMobile Engine to the masses. The EyeMobile Engine is a software-based natural user interface which aims to enhance the user experience for those who rely on cell phones or personal digital assistants (PDAs). This means virtually any command that are executed using conventional button presses will soon be able to be executed by tilting, shaking, rocking or rolling the mobile device. Bear in mind that this device does not use an accelerometer since EyeMobile is smart enough to function with existing hardware on any camera-enabled handset.

Bluetooth Microphone fits inside your tooth

April 1st, 2008 by Chris in Mobile Phones, Wacky Gadgets, Electronic Gadgets, Audio/Video Gadgets

Bluetooth Dental Mic

Since Bluetooth became a standard feature on most phones, people have been coming up with all sorts of new headsets. The ones that fascinate me the most are the ones that use the vibrations from the bone in your jaw to detect what you are saying. To me it’s cool and creepy at the same time. Less creepy though, than this new Bluetooth Dental Insert Microphone.
