The Apple iPhone

January 10th, 2007

Apple iPhone
After many months of rumors and speculation, Steve Jobs has officially introduced today the iPhone, which in Jobs’ words, is an amalgamation of a touch screen iPod, a reinvented concept phone and a revolutionary internet navigator.

The whole keynote delivered by Steve Jobs at Macworld is available for viewing online at Apple.com. The iPhone boasts itself as being a physically keyless mobile handset, relying on its patented touchscreen technology for input. It’s accelerometer feature, allowing it to behave according to its vertical or horizontal orientation, is also another interesting feat. And as with all Apple products, its elegant design indeed outshines its smartphone competitors such as the Palm or the Blackberry.

You can expect the iPhone to perform well when it comes into production, as the stocks for its competitors Research in Motion (RIMM) and Palm (PALM) both dropped more than 5% today, while Apple’s shares (AAPL) soared up by 8% , shortly after the announcement was made.

USBCell Rechargable Batteries

Rechargable batteries have always been a more cost effective and eco-friendly alternative to non-rechargable ones. However when we do run out of batteries, say when we’re on a trip for example, it often isn’t so easy to find battery chargers lying around.

These USBCell USB rechargable batteries make our lives so much easier as you can just uncap them and plug them into your nearest computer or laptop to recharge them to full power. With a laptop around to boost some emergency charge into your batteries, you won’t ever miss the golden shot on your digital camera when your battery life is gone. Thanks to ThinkGeek again for stocking in such neat ideas.

10 Minute E-Mail Address

January 1st, 2007

Admit it. We’ve all tried to use fake e-mail addresses before. But there are always those sites where you need to go through that e-mail validation process unwillingly when you sign up for accounts, only to end up getting loads of spam.

With the help of 10 minute mail, you can get the job done without any hassle to worry about. On the click of a button, a random temporary email address will be generated at your disposal, in which you can send/receive mail just like any normal webmail client. However when you’re done with signing up an account, or playing a prank etc, all you need to do is to let it self destruct when the time is up. And of course, if 10 minutes isn’t enough for you, you can always just extend its lifetime with just another click.

So give it a try. It will save you some spam someday.
