Card Mobile Phone

I’m not certain how small cellular phones are going to be in the future. Pretty soon, they will be as tiny as the one that Ben Stiller had in Zoolander.

Case in point: the card mobile phone, which is a cellular phone that is the size of a credit card. Well, it is the length and width of a credit card, but it is thick as a stack of three credit cards. That is thin enough to slide into the pocket with your Visa or MasterCard, and it weighs in at 1.3 ounces.

In case you are concerned about the lack of buttons on the card mobile phone, dialing is accomplished by navigating an onscreen dialpad, and it also comes with a built-in voice dialer. This is a dual band GSM GPRS that has about 200 minutes of talk time. The screen is either color or monochrome, and the credit card phone is waterproof.

It would appear that the user can put his or her personal message on it. Someone must be very proud that he or she won the CTIA Emerging Technology Awards.

The Card Mobile Phone will be available in June or July. Rumor has it that it will hit India, and then the United States.

Verizon Wireless makes HTC Touch Diamond official

It is interesting to note that not all cell phone releases are done on a worldwide basis, and even stranger is the fact that selected handsets which are rolled out on one continent might take months or even over a year before it arrives on other peoeple’s shores - case in point the iPhone amongst numerous other handsets. Well, for those who are loyal to Verizon Wireless through the years and have no intention of switching mobile carriers, good news if you’ve been hankering after the HTC Touch Diamond. This handset will be readily available from today onwards via business sales channels and online at www.verizonwireless.com. The HTC Touch Diamond has been marketed to be the “ideal productivity tool for busy professionals”, although we’re pretty sure the hip and happening crowd won’t mind signing up for one since it does come in a rather fashionable design.

Sony Ericsson W205 Walkman PhoneAudio/Video Gadgets, Mobile Phones

Imagine an alternate timeline, where cellular phone technology has been perfected and cheaply mass-marketed in the early 1980s instead of the late 1990s. In this reality, a cellular phone is built into every Sony Walkman.

Perhaps this would be an era of the Sony Ericsson W205. It would be a time where tracks are played with the album art with ID3 tags on a 1.8 display screen, and TrackID would name the tune and artist would you would play on the included FM radio.

LG Arena now in Titan Black

LG’s Arena cell phone has been out for sometime already, but this time round T-Mobile will be rolling it out in a new Titan Black edition which will be available as an exclusive and only on T-Mobile tariffs. Also known by its model number the LG KM900, this handset will feature the exact specifications as found on the original silver edition, as the only change would be the exterior case, although calling it Titan Black might not do the color justice as the exterior case leans more towards a gun metal finish. The black color will also do its part in setting the handset apart from many other silver cell phones that have proliferated the market, giving business-minded folks yet another option to consider when it comes to upgrading their cell phone.

Watch grass grow with the Timelapse Garden Video Camera

I love Hammacher and Schlemmer, if for no other reason than they always have the most pointless gadgets I was never aware I needed. Honestly, how many people actually wake up in the middle of the night realizing that they need to have a camera on their plants so that they can keep track of their progress? In reality, you’re setting up a camera so that you can watch the grass grow. What’s next? A camera specified to watch paint dry? At least with this camera, you can claim to be setting it out to watch the miracle of life. I’m sure that will make it seem far more practical.

Sony HDR-TG5V Handycam camcorder

Yesterday, Sony unveiled their newest HDR-TG5V Handycam camcorder. Its design is similar to many “Flip” camcorders that have hit the market these days like the Kodak Zi6 and the many models from DXG.

This camcorder can capture 1920×1080 high-definition video and four-megapixel photos. It has 16GB worth of flash memory which is about 6 hours worth of video recording. Footage can also be added to the Memory Stick PRO Duo media (sold separately) for additional recording time. The camcorder has a 2.7 wide LCD touch panel, and very instinctive controls.

What really makes this camcorder device unique is that it has a GPS antenna and NAVTEQ digital maps to geo-tag videos and photos, and it even can document destinations on a map. This content is marked by a push pin at each shot location and can be played back on the camcorder’s screen, or on the user’s PC with the included Picture Motion Browser software.

Seat Belt Camera Straps

Camera straps that come with the camera tend to be on the, well, lame side. They always have coarse material and the edges dig into your neck. Not to mention they display your camera brand name in shockingly bold lettering. So for those that use their camera a lot, it gets to the point when you have to seek out a camera strap that suits you a bit better. Well these straps made out of old seat belts look like a far better alternative than anything I’ve come across thus far.

The Tele-Egg discreetly notifies of incoming calls

Everyone has those times when it’s really frowned upon to have your phone turned on. However, there are still those that need their phone on no matter what the situation. Yes, you could leave it on vibrate, but people can still hear that obnoxious buzzing noise. When they do hear it, they know exactly what that noise is. If you have a designated desk that you use at work and need to know about phone calls, this would be a great gadget. It could alert you that a phone call is coming in and you can always step out to call the person back.
