<description><![CDATA[The iPhone accessories have been announced. It's a fairly limited assortment with the most interesting being Apple's new Bluetooth headset. $129 is the price just like we heard. 5.5-hours of talk and 72-hours of standby. And yes, it includes the iPhone Dual Dock which allows you to charge the iPhone and headset in parallel. Otherwise, that dock is $49. Sorry, they don't list the headset without the dock. The iPhone Bluetooth Travel cable (pictured to the right) goes for $29 as will a pair of replacement stereo headphones. The $49 iPhone Dock (which may or not be the same one shipping with the iPhone) also includes an audio line-out jack. Apple also unveiled the &amp;quot;Works with iPhone&amp;quot; logo.Visit http://www.apple.com/iphone/accessories/ for more details.<br/><br/>27 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Based on a personal computer that accompanies you through your day and context-oriented docking stations at personal spaces like in the office or at home. Those stations are matching the needs of the user in their particular surrounding, like home entertainment in the living room or conferences and multi-tasking at the office.The computer itself is a OLED-touchscreen slider, with a second hidden touchscreen underneath. This way, it gives you a similar working experience as with a 2-monitor setup. It is controlled per hand or via a &amp;ldquo;senstylus pen&amp;rdquo;, that you can use like a normal pen or twist it and use it as a 3d-sensor remote, with a sensor field under the thumb for precise menu controls.Designer: Felix Schmidberger<br/><br/>12 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The M300 watch phone is not officially here yet, but you can have one shipped to your door by Brando.It's pure novelty, but novelty that actually works. This is a tri-band mobile phone, so once you've updated your address book, you can make and receive calls, as well as receiving text messages. You can't send though - no keyboard. But to compensate for that, there's the added bonus of a music player with 60GB of storage and USB hook-up, A2DP Bluetooth (which means streaming to your wireless headphones), built-in speaker, one-inch screen and of course, it tells the time.Not a bad price either - retailing for the equivalent of just over 150.<br/><br/>11 Vote(s) ]]></description>

The inventor, Andreas Sallmann, explains that when you put a cell phone inside your briefs, then dial your number from another phone, you probably won't even get a signal.4000 black (only) briefs have been made so far and 500 will be been given away for test purposes, by simply sending the company an email.[via Swiss daily paper Le Matin (In French)]Other protective clothing concepts:-- A New York based store sells dress shirts and caps designed to protect people from electromagnetic fields -- or radiation -- given off by cell phones and electronic devices.-- Singapore-based garment manufacturer Crocodile International launched smart pants or &quot;Radiguard' specialty trousers&quot; for cell-phone buffs who exposed exposed to the ultra magnetic emission from the cell-phones.-- In September 2002, Levi Strauss announced the launch of a new Dockers' model with anti-radiation-lined pockets, prompted by customers' concerns about the possible health risks of mobile phone use.<br/><br/>23 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[At a press conference in India, Nokia has launched seven new mobile phones, that provide functions and features specifically designed for consumers in emerging markets. &amp;quot;India is very important to Nokia and to the global mobile communications industry as a whole,&amp;quot; says Soren Petersen, Senior Vice President, Mobile Phones, Nokia. &amp;quot;One of the fastest growing markets in the world, India is also home to several Nokia facilities, including R&amp;amp;D and manufacturing. We're very proud to be part of their growth.&amp;quot;Nokia 2630The thinnest handset in Nokia's portfolio at 9.9 mm, the Nokia 2630 balances a modern design with a full range of features to meet the needs of emerging market consumers. A camera combined with Bluetooth technology. Convenient productivity tools such as email, MMS, calendar and a calculator satisfy the work side of life, while features such as an FM radio, with direct access shortcut key and MP3 ringtones satisfy the entertainment sideNokia 2760The Nokia 2760 features a digital camera, giving many consumers their first experience with digital photography, and Bluetooth technology to make it easy to share the photos that they capture. The Nokia 2760 also features video recording, video playback, and FM radio. The combination of Bluetooth and GPRS creates a convenient way to access data on the go for email and Internet. It also features extra large storage to save up to 1000 contacts in the phonebook.Nokia 2505One of Nokia's sleekest fold-style phones for the CDMA market, the Nokia 2505 offers a unique smooth-back design. The Nokia 2505 is expected to be available in selected markets in Asia/Pacific, Middle East, Africa, China and Latin America during the 2nd quarter of 2007. The phone meets practical needs as well with easy-to-use functions including text messaging, speaker phone, calendar, a personalized voice reminder and an alarm clock. Other features included with the Nokia 2505 include pre-loaded games, a 300-contact phonebook, up to 3 hours of talk time and 156 hours of stand-by time.&amp;nbsp;Nokia 1200 &amp;amp; 1208Both of these phones introduce the industry's first call-time tracking application and multi-phonebooks to make phone sharing simpler and more efficient. In order to help manage airtime costs, the call-time tracking feature allows consumers and village phone entrepreneurs to pre-set a time or cost limit on individual calls, automatically ending the call after the limit has been reached.The easy-to-use multi-phonebook lets customers set up personal phonebooks unique to that user and save specific contacts to that user's phonebook. The Nokia 1200 and Nokia 1208 each come with 5 available phonebooks, so it is possible for an entire family to share a phone, and for each of the family members to manage their own phonebook.The Nokia 1200 and Nokia 1208 also come equipped with additional features tailored to entry markets such as one-touch flashlights and localized languages, while a seamless keypad also protects the phone from dust, another reality of rural mobile phone use. The Nokia 1200 phone is offered with a monochrome screen, while the Nokia 1208 features a colour VGA screen.<br/><br/>29 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Producing big sound from a small device, the new Sansaa4 Base Station from SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK) enables a Sansa MP3 player to become a digital jukebox and play hours of music through a home stereo system or externally-powered PC speaker set.  This handy accessory, which also doubles as a docking station for recharging batteries and transferring content to and from a personal computer, was announced at IFA, where SanDisk is demonstrating its products through Sept. 6 at Booth 103 in Hall 2.1 of Messe Berlin. The SanDisk Sansa Base Station supports the SanDisk e200 series of MP3 players, as well as the new c200 series that is being shown here for the first time. The device allows users to dock a player, connect to and play audio content through an external entertainment system instead of a headphone, operate the player with a remote control, automatically charge the internal batteries of the c200 and e200 players, and transfer data between the player and a PC. &quot;This is the a4must-have' accessory for Sansa owners because it provides a dedicated home for your player,&quot; said Matthijs Hutten, product marketing manager for SanDisk accessories.  &quot;With the Sansa Base Station always charged, you can extend the usage of your Sansa player into your living room, enjoy your favorite digital music on your home audio system and control your player wirelessly with the compact infrared remote.  Or, you can hook up the Sansa Base Station to a PC and easily transfer music between the computer and your Sansa player.&quot; The Sansa Base Station comes with a power adapter, USB 2.0 cable, RCA audio cable, remote control with battery and mechanical adapters for each of the three Sansa models.  Both the player and the remote control nest in designated slots on top of the Base Station, and the player connects with the Base Station through a 30-pin universal connector at the bottom of the player.  Buttons on the remote consist of Play/Pause, FW/Next, RW/Previous, Volume Up, Volume Down and On/Off. Bearing a suggested retail price of $69.99, the Sansa Base Station is expected to be available from retailers in the U.S. and Europe by October. SanDisk is the original inventor of flash storage cards and is the world's largest supplier of flash data storage card products, using its patented, high-density flash memory and controller technology. SanDisk is headquartered in Milpitas, Calif., and has operations worldwide, with more than half its sales outside the U.S.<br/><br/>17 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[OLPC manufacturer Quanta has been forced to push back its target ship date for the XO from July to sometime in the fourth quarter of this year. Leading to this speculation is the fact that Quanta has apparently yet to release its orders for various parts and components set for inclusion in the laptop, which would seem to indicate that a July ship date would be tough to meet. It would also, of course, seem to make the promised ten million laptops before year's end a bit unlikely.<br/><br/>15 Vote(s) ]]></description>

Well, as of yesterday our wishes were granted when official OLPC builds hit the internets. The live CD is of extremely limited utility, but if you want to check out the fruits of Negroponte's ultimate pet project -- and see what millions of kids the world over will be using any semester now -- we've got the goods.

<description><![CDATA[The FonePlus device, shown off here by Chief Research and Strategy Officer Craig Mundie, stems from discussions that began at the World Economic Forum in January. To create the computer, Microsoft combined its Windows CE operating system with a phone that could then be connected to a television display and a keyboard.&quot;Many people, including us, have been looking at different ways to lower the cost&quot; of computing, Mundie said. &quot;Clearly one of the things that is just booming globally is the use of the cell phone.&quot;Microsoft has come under some fire for not being more aggressive in helping to create a low-cost PC that is suitable for emerging markets. Mundie said that even in poorer countries, many people today have both a telephone and a television, making a computer based on those components easier to achieve than creating a low-cost PC.Now on News.com:    * Getting the online ad numbers to add up    * Shadowy shopping at the PC mall    * Images: Close encounter with the sun    * Extra: California tops 'cyberstate' list    * Video: LG National Texting Championship&quot;Could this be your first computer? And if it was, what could you do with it?&quot; Mundie asked. He demonstrated word processing, multimedia playback and Web browsing using scaled-down versions of Internet Explorer, Word and Windows Media Player. &quot;For at least simplified applications, it's harder to distinguish this from a computer,&quot; he said.The software maker has not yet committed to building such a product. &quot;We're going to look at what it would take us to bring this to market,&quot; Mundie said.In addition to its phone-computing research efforts, Microsoft also has its pay-as-you-go FlexGo program for emerging countries. The program doesn't actually lower the cost of a PC, but makes it available for a lower cost upfront: It allows people to put half the cost of a PC down and then pay off the remainder via a per-hour usage charge, over time.The company is also testing its Windows XP Starter Edition, a slimmed-down version of the desktop OS that is sold in some emerging markets on new, low-cost PCs. Reported sales for Starter Edition have been modest. Microsoft said at last year's analyst meeting that it had sold 100,000 copies of the operating system.Engadget dubs it as an OLPC killer: http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/28/microsoft-demos-foneplus-olpc-killer/<br/><br/>16 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Everything about the Panasonic TH-103PF9 is massive. Truly, gargantuanly, humungously massive! For starters, its screen acreage measures in at a frankly terrifying 103in from corner to corner. This makes it not only the biggest TV we've ever tested here at TrustedReviews, but also the biggest TV ever sold commercially in the UK. To give you some idea of just how big 103in of TV really is, the 103PF9's screen will accommodate four 50in TV screens, and still have a few inches spare. Phenomenal. The screen is as heavy as it is large, too, weighing in at 220kg - an already mighty figure that turns into 350kg if you also use the optional heavy-duty stand.more reviews at: http://www.trustedreviews.com/tvs/review/2007/04/16/Panasonic-TH-103PF9-103in-Plasma-TV/p1 and http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/20/panasonics-103-inch-plasma-reviewed/<br/><br/>14 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Documents appeared on the FCC web site today showing a version of the HTC Herald branded for T-Mobile USA. The Herald - officially called the P4350 by HTC - is a successor to the MDA currently offered by T-Mobile. Notable improvements include a thinner body, spring-assisted slide, and 2 megapixel camera. Although the European version launched with Windows Mobile 5, the user manual submitted to the FCC for the T-Mobile version clearly shows Windows Mobile 6. Like the MDA, the new model features a touchscreen with stylus, quad-band GSM with EDGE, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. The photos show two potential color schemes: one in blue/purple, and another in all black.original record at FCC: https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/cf/eas/reports/GenericSearchResult.cfm?RequestTimeout=500<br/><br/>18 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It has been attempted before. But financial circumstances have frozen the progress of many a previous development in its tracks. With a hacked refrigerator, however, Innovation Lab has overtaken development on the inside. The first intelligent fridge in the world cost us a measly ten bucks. From future scenario to realityDid you small-talk, chat or SMS with your fridge today? Is the milk past its sell-by date? Am I out of butter? By now, we have written several lengthy and long-winded articles about it - this, the intelligent refrigerator; and now we're at it again. Why? Simply because the fridge talking to its owners and to the foodstuffs in its care has now become a reality. And we made it ourselves - well, almosta4The fridge has now become aware of its contents; and it is capable of establishing direct contact between you and their producers. Like you, the fridge is on the Internet and thus able to get hold of you - even on your mobile. It will let you know what you need to buy if you want to prepare a simmering beef stroganoff; also, it will alert you if you are out of chocolate-and-fruit flavoured ice cream. But this is as much about security! In case a food producer detects a potential health hazard in a shipment, he can - via the fridge - send out a warning and withdraw the product in question. Ten bucks worth of cupper wire, please! We let our lab agent, Kim Otto, loose on the defenceless Siemens refrigerator. Kim, owner of the firm IOLite, outfitted the fridge with an RFID reader. Then the existing flatscreen was replaced by a touch screen with an embedded Postallo computer - a computer equipped with customised database and web software by PragmaSoft. This software was also used for last autumn's food project, The Helpful Food of the Future. Still, the fridge needed a boost: with surgical precision Kim hacked the Beta-Technic RFID reader and enhanced its operating efficiency using a homemade copper coil and an external transistor placed on a shelf inside the fridge.   Version 2.0 of the refrigerator has thus been equipped with a reader on its top shelf - a reader capable of transmitting in a higher frequency to the RFID tags appended to the foodstuff.The resonance frequency occurring in the reader on the shelf will build up a tension high enough to transmit a response back to the antenna and - as compared with the 14 centimetres of version 1.0 - the signal now has a range of 22 centimetres.  Even though the principle behind the hacked fridge may appear a cumbersome and costly affair, this has not been the case. All it took was sponsored hard- and software plus 10 dollars worth of copper wire - and the world's very first intelligent refrigerator was a bona fide fact. The media darling of all timesDespite being a prototype of a prototype, the fridge is fully operational; and it represents an excellent illustration of a future where the things surrounding us will give us access to information useful in our everyday lives. Perhaps this is the reason why, in Denmark, the fridge has already succeeded in hitting prime-time television, locally as nationally.<br/><br/>18 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[An iPod case for fifth generation iPods looks normal on the front, but the backside has a pretty nifty cable-management system. It has an extension that the cord can be wrapped around and the 3.5mm audio jack and earphones have their own little cutouts that they can reside in securely when not in use. It is available for $20 in clear or black. Too bad it only works with iPod.<br/><br/>47 Vote(s) ]]></description>
