Luminous Stylus Handy Strap

March 28th, 2008 by Edwin in Miscellaneous Gadgets, Mobile Phones

luminous-strap.jpg

I know that most touch-screen based devices come with a stylus of sorts (NDS Lite, PDAs, smartphones), but there is a very good reason why all those devices come with spares - it is all too easy to lose a stylus. The Luminous Stylus Handy Strap hopes to avoid that fate, as it can be attached to your cell phone or PDA as a decorative fixture, doubling up as a stylus as and when you need it. In addition, it glows in the dark, making it easier for you to look for that pesky gadget of yours once the lights are turned off in the cinema. At $5 each, there isn’t much grounds as to why you shouldn’t pick one up just for kicks. Anything that glows in the dark is always fun, so says the inner child in me.

Modu takes title of “world’s lightest phone”

March 26th, 2008 by Edwin in Mobile Phones

modu1.jpgI remember during the late 1990s and early 2000s saw cell phones take the “smaller and lighter” route, with each new model deemed “good” or “excellent” based on its size first, and functions second. Who could forget about the race to have the smallest handset? Nokia’s 8xxx series and Ericsson’s colorful flip handsets definitely forged a path for everyone else to follow, but somewhere along the way cell phone design experienced a paradigm shift. Manufacturers realized that consumers wanted their cell phones to do more than just carry out conversations and send text messages - which is why handsets from then on started to get bigger and heavier due to the inclusion of more features. Fast forward to where we are today, it is a pretty tricky balancing act to figure out what consumers want - to do everything a high-end Nokia Communicator can without forcing you to tighten your belt by two notches to prevent the handset’s weight from dropping your pants. This is where the Modu phone comes in, as it has just picked up the title of the world’s lightest phone.

MIU HDPC Smartphone could be the Smartest

March 24th, 2008 by Mark R in Coolest Mobile News, Mobile Phones

MIU HDPC Smartphone

I have recently upgraded myself to smartphones. I have the Samsung SCH-i760 and my wife has the LG Voyager, but this HDPC from MIU could beat them all. After all, it has more features than you can shake a regular dumb-phone at.

For starters, it has a 4-inch, 800 x 400 touchscreen display which is revealed when opened, as well as a QWERTY thumbpad and mouse. The user also will find stereo speakers, a docking port, as well as two USBs.

Call your cell phone service provider to confirm.

It retails for AU$340, and you ought to use this with a Bluetooth headset of some sort since you would look (and sound) rather daft, carrying out a conversation where everyone else around you will be able to hear.
