It’s a Supertooth! Supertooth! It’s the Supertooth HD!

by Mark R

This is the Supertooth HD, and it is a Bluetooth speaker designed for use in the car. I realize that you can’t see the back of this device, but it has a magnetic clip that is designed to hold it to the visor.

The Supertooth is good to have around if you need to take phone calls on the road, but don’t like to have something in your ear. It has dual microphones (one on the bottom and one on top) and two speakers with a 5-watt audio output and a 5.4-watt amplifier.

The big orange eye atop this black, gravestone-shaped device is the volume dial. If you push the center of it, you can give vocal commands like a Voice Dial, Check Battery, and you can take or ignore phone calls as well. You can also press the button for 3 seconds and redial the last number that you called. The button with the envelope on it will automatically dial the “SuperTooth HandsFree Assistant”.

Callet gives your mobile phone pockets for cash and credit cards

by Mark R

Here is a good question that someone once asked me: which would you rather lose, your wallet or your mobile phone?

If you have a Callet, then you have probably lost both. You can see it on the iPhone 4 in this picture, and it is a high quality Gel-Polymer the gives your mobile some pockets. (See the slits on the back?)

These slit pockets are perfect for two credit cards, or maybe a little cash. It is perfect for situations when you are can’t bring in a bag into a stadium for a game. Granted, I never have that problem, but I don’t have a purse. Still, as a man, it would be handy to have a credit card and cash on hand. It turns my mobile phone cover into a money clip!

Fuse PowerSlice is one terrific charging pizza with the works

by Mark R

The first time that I saw the PowerSlice from Fuse at CES last January, I was more than impressed. Sure, I have seen charging stations for multiple devices before, but the PowerSlice got my attention with its unique pizza construction.

Allow me to explain what I mean. The user purchases a base unit that is like a pizza pan, and it is good enough for four “slices”. The interchangeable slices slide in for the proper connectors of micro USB, mini USB, Samsung 20 pin, LG, and Apple (all of them sold separately).

The base unit even has a USB port so you can plug in your USB compatible gadgets. Actually, that isn’t quite accurate. The USB port is labeled “not for smartphones”, and this is accurate. It failed to charge my Droid X, but it does my Bluetooth headset just fine. Not sure why that is, but I would have used the Micro USB to charge my smartphone anyway.

HTC Rhyme offers edge in smartphone race

by Edwin

Smartphones are dime a dozen these days – how many people do you know who do not own a smartphone? Well, with so many different kinds to choose from, it really depends on which features you’re looking for, and for the majority of us – to go the iPhone route, or settle with Android/BlackBerry/Windows Phone 7. Symbian? What’s that? For those who have a soft spot for Android, perhaps HTC’s latest smartphone release, the HTC Rhyme, might be something that you want to look into.

This handset was specifically developed to target those who want advanced features in a phone without sacrificing on looks (some might even call this to be rather feminine in nature), where it will deliver a fresh approach of integrating distinct colors, their very own HTC Sense user interface and a bunch of complementary accessories (sold separately, of course) for a more natural personal experience.

Case-Mate accidentally posts iPhone 5 cases early (Whoops!)

by Mark R

We have reported on Case-Mate before, and they make cases for a lot of mobile gadgets. A few months ago, we reported on Case-Mate’s contribution to the iPad 2.

It would appear that Case-Mate is trying to be current, and they might have jumped the gun. Case-Mate accidentally posted their cases for the iPhone 5 earlier today, even though the official announcement won’t be until mid-October. As you might have guessed, the company took the page with the new cases down. I can imagine the panic attack that the Case-Mate execs had after they learned that the posts for the iPhone 5 cases had gone live.

Wanna get pregnant? Get a Nokia

by Edwin

Don’t you just find it to be ironic that there are folks out there who are trying their darndest best to start a family, while others go to abortion clinics simply because they aren’t ready to face up to the responsibility of being a parent, and yet want to have fun on the sidelines. Well, if you have tried all sorts of remedies and taken in more advice on getting pregnant than you thought you ever would, how about giving it (listening to advice) one more shot?

Nokia might have the solution for you – thanks to a next generation app on the Ovi Store. After all, medical science has proved that before one can conceive, it would be prudent to make sure that both parents are in good health, so to have a Body Mass Index Calculator on your handset would definitely be a good thing as it lets you know what your ideal body weight should be, and as you work towards that figure, experts think that it would also be far easier to conceive then.

Jabra SUPREME Bluetooth mono headset

by Edwin

Jabra is an old hand when it comes to Bluetooth headsets as well as devices, but that does not mean the company should rest on their laurels. No sir, in fact Jabra always pushes the envelope – and their latest release, the SUPREME Bluetooth mono headset, is no different from its ‘ancestors’. What makes the Jabra SUPREME so special from the rest? For starters, this will be the first non-stereo headset that incorporates Active Noise Cancellation which will block out noisy environments.

That alone will work in tandem with Noise Blackout 3.0 and Wind-Noise Reduction technology, to make sure that the end user experience is nothing short of fantastic – letting you carry out crystal clear conversations without the irritating “Beg your pardon?” question being asked for the umpteenth time.

LG Marquee sprints to the fore

by Edwin

Forgive the pun in the title, but I could not resist myself. Yes sir, the LG Marquee, also known as the LG Optimus Black if you happen to have a penchant of memorizing all the different code names and model names assigned to each phone, will be made available to Sprint subscribers, with pre-sale orders happening from September 20th onwards. Sale of the device at stores will happen in October, but if you’re one of the early birds who prefer to place pre-orders, then you can get yours by this month.

Following modern design cues of being slim and stylish, the LG Marquee certainly lends an air of elegance whenever you want to whip the handset out from your pocket – it will feature a 4” bright NOVA display that offers “better indoor and outdoor visibility” – although how much clearer that is, remains to be seen. 4″ isn’t really that large these days and can be considered normal, but we’ll take our chances.
