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.

Teens invent vanishing nail polish

March 24th, 2008 by Chris in Miscellaneous Gadgets

Vanishing Nail Polish

When I was in school, I always dreaded the thought of having to wear a uniform. Other schools in the state had adopted the idea, and our school district had discussed the possibility as well. I’m the kind of person who likes to express myself, so I don’t like being told that I must dress exactly like the next guy. Apparently there were a group of girls at a British high school that wanted to stand out a bit too. So much that they invented sunlight-reactive nail polish.

DMXTB Deluxe Marine Tool Kit

March 24th, 2008 by Edwin in Home Gadgets

Don’t you just hate it when you’re busy concentrating on a home improvement job, only to find that your screwdriver has just dropped into the toilet bowl, plunging into depths previously unknown to mankind and inviting you to perform the most unsavory of extraction operations. The DMXTB Deluxe Marine Tool Kit ensures that won’t happen, with its four Nut Drivers, two Screw Drivers, two Open-ended Wrenches and a Prop Wrench being 100% corrosion resistant and floatable. Just make sure you rinse them with mild soap/water and dry completely after each use in order to maximize its life.

Concept Ladybag Smiles When it’s Full

March 24th, 2008 by Mark R in Conceptual Gadgets, Coolest Mobile News, Miscellaneous Gadgets

Concept Ladybag

If you’re like me, then you don’t leave the house without doing a quick inventory of the essential items you need on the road. I usually do a quick feel in my pockets for my keys, mobile phone, checkbook, and wallet.

Of course, if you are a lady, you have a purse, but I’ve seen how those purses can fill up, and you can’t tell what is in there and what’s not. Especially a woman uses her mobile telephone, and then it’s taken out from the purse and inconveniently forgotten when she leaves later on.

Fortunately, a team of Canadian students has come to our rescue with the Ladybag concept purse. Apparently, these Simon Fraser University students had a terrific idea of using RFID technology to detect if a woman has left her mobile, wallet, or keys outside of her handbag.

EZ Commander Trackball Remote

March 24th, 2008 by Edwin in Audio/Video Gadgets, Electronic Gadgets, PC Gadgets

ez-commander.jpgThe EZ Commander Trackball Remote is here to help make your life easier in the living room, especially when you have a home theater PC setup running.

Rather than control your stereo system the EZ Commander Trackball Remote acts as a wireless keyboard and mouse replacement for your PC. Perfect for use with a media center PC or running a presentation from your laptop. The included IR receiver plugs in to a USB port and gives you full control up to 30 feet away. Use the keys to execute common PC functions or control your audio and video files with the “media center” mode which supports Windows Media Center. The trackball works just like a mouse. Push down on the ball to left click, or use the buttons above the trackball for right or left clicks. You can even type simple text using a T9 input method similar to texting on your cellphone. The included laser pointer lets you gesture at those all important PowerPoint slides.

ThinkGeek is currently carrying it for $79.99, so get it while it is hot.

DigitalRise M600i GSM Phone Watch

March 24th, 2008 by Edwin in Cool Clocks, Mobile Phones

m600i.jpgAnother day, another GSM phone that comes in the form of a watch. This time, we have the M600i to tickle our fancy, being unlocked and ready to hit the airwaves in Australia and Europe.

This M600i watch mobile phone comes with features like a built-in 1.3 megapixel camera, touchscreen hand writing messaging, MP3/MP4 player, Video recording, Bluetooth connectivity, and an Internet browser. Its support of extensible microSD memory cards makes it extremely attractive for your next phone choice. This Dual band 900/1800MHZ mobile phone can be used for worldwide except North America. 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.

Super-Slim USB Mouse is too slim for my taste

March 24th, 2008 by Chris in Electronic Gadgets, PC Gadgets, USB Gadgets

Super-Slim Mouse

Have you ever thought that your mouse was just too large to use comfortably? Perhaps if you sliced it down the middle it would be the perfect size. Honestly, I can’t say that I’ve ever had such a thought cross my mind. Rather there have been some mice which I thought were almost too slim for my tastes. If you’re very much unlike myself, you might enjoy this Super-Slim USB mouse.
