The Apple bug: iPod shuffle plug-and-charge

Edvarcl Heng | Feb 09, 2007

Can the Powerbug possibly be a play of the word "power plug"? While 12 hours may be enough for some, the time taken to charge the shuffle via USB is just too long. The Powerbug acts as the intermediary between the shuffle and a power socket. And it's a clever enough solution to warrant a second look.

For freezing head bangers: Nike iHat

Edvarcl Heng | Feb 09, 2007

From top to bottom, Nike seems insistent on dressing the iPod-owning sports geek/freak. The Nike Men's Soft Shell Therma-FIT Hatphones Cap (that's a mouthy, Nike) can sit an iPod nano within its cavity, keep your noggin toasty and still let you control playback from a slot on its back. Get ahead of the running pack. Available in four colors.

Valentine phones

Juniper Foo | Feb 09, 2007

Day-o, Day-o, V-day's come and we want go buy. Yo, mon, love ain't no small banana when you gotta spend on dere girl (or mon). So no big surprise mobile phone vendors are romancing der couples' wallets with Valentine ringers. No strawberries here with LG's Strawberry Chocolate slider, but its girly pink tint should please sweethearts. If you're planning to stoke the flames of true love, something red hot like Motorola's KRZR Fire might do the trick, perhaps? Too bad these handsets are sold only in the US for Valentine's. Godivas and hugs instead, anyone? Hey, who said the cheapskate word!

Samsung unveils new Ultra Smart F700

Reuben Lee | Feb 08, 2007

With the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona happening in less than a week, Samsung is clearly looking to get an early start on things with the recent announcement of its Ultra Smart F700 mobile phone.

The F700 is the first Ultra phone to feature a full touchscreen display with slide-out keypad that's very much similar to QWERTY-enabled PDA-phones such as the Dopod 838 Pro and O2 Xda Zinc. It is also equipped with an integrated music and video player, High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), Bluetooth and VibeTonz technology. Its onboard 5-megapixel sensor makes it the highest-resolution camera-phone we've seen so far from the Samsung Ultra series.

Handsets in the Ultra series have traditionally been known for their superslim form factors. The F700 is no exception with its 16.4mm girth which makes it one of the slimmest touchscreen phones with slide-out QWERTY keypads.

We'll be keeping a close watch on the F700, which is expected to be showcased at 3GSM.

Windows Mobile 6 versus RIM and Nokia E-series

Reuben Lee | Feb 08, 2007

To better illustrate some of the enhanced features of its latest Windows Mobile OS, Microsoft has released several screenshots comparing the new platform to RIM's BlackBerry and Nokia's Symbian Series 60.

From the pictures, one of the most noticeable improvements on the Windows Mobile 6 OS is the full HTML email support, which now allows images to be viewed in the email. Users will also find that the company has enhanced its Mobile Office applications for viewing and editing documents, bringing the user experience closer to that of the desktop version.

Like its Windows Mobile 5.0 predecessor, the new mobile operating system will be available in three platforms: Windows Mobile Professional (for PDA-phones), Windows Mobile Standard (for smart phones) and Windows Mobile Classic (for non-cellular PDAs).

Handheld devices based on the new Windows Mobile 6 operating system are expected only in the middle of the year, though the bulk of them are slated for the second half of 2007. We are expecting some of the first products to be announced at 3GSM next week.
