Shopping bags from recycled newspaper

post from Popgadget: Personal Tech for Women on 05 September 2008 01:12:00 PM. © Popgadget: Personal Tech for Women

Using lightweight, reusable shopping bags made of recycled materials is pretty standard practice these days, but it's nice when bags you use all the time have a bit of style too. I like these bags made of recycled newspaper...

Dell and Vodafone pair up for some broadband
laptop action

post from Shiny Shiny on 05 September 2008 01:00:00 PM. © Shiny Shiny

Hopelessly waiting for a free (and sometimes paid for) WiFi hotspot to kick in can be a painfully frustrating experience (which was only reaffirmed for me this week in Gatwick airport)! Well, Dell and Vodafone has the answer to our stunting problems, so hopefully no more laptop biting/banging of the keyboard tantrums for you - only if you're willing to shell out (I'm guessing) around £330 for the Inspiron Mini 9. But what's money when you're preventing the bursting of blood vessels?

One Laptop And Amazon Team Up

One Laptop And Amazon Team Up

The One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) organization has come to an understanding with Amazon to sell its extremely cheap laptops over the Internet from late November onwards, allowing folks to purchase the XO laptops for personal use or to donate to a school located in a developing nation. This program will begin later this November and will run for approximately a month long. Those who want to contribute to this altruistic cause but reside outside of the US are out of luck though. In related news, the OLPC is already working on a new generation of the XO laptop that should see the light of day in 2010.

LG Prada II Specifications Leaked

LG Prada II Specifications Leaked

LG has more or less finished their sequel to the Prada, unimaginatively known as the Prada II. This model will come with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard in addition to the following specifications (something we lacked in our earlier post) :-

Quad-band GSM/EDGE, dual-band HSDPA (850MHz/2100MHz)
950mAh battery
240×400 3.0? screen
5 megapixel autofocus camera with flash and VGA recording
Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity
Wi-Fi connectivity
Infineon MP-EH + M180 chipset
Motion sensor
FM radio

Hopefully the operating system is something worth using, as the iPhone has already proven - hardware specifications aren't as important as the user experience and ease-of-use, just take a look at the DS Lite.

Zune Contact Concept

post from Ubergizmo on 05 September 2008 12:47:46 PM. © Ubergizmo

Zune Contact Concept

Adam Huffman has dreamt of the Zune Contact concept, hoping to see Microsoft go head-to-head with Apple in the phone arena sometime down the road. I'm not too sure whether that is worth the investment from the software giant, but it would be an interesting battle, that's for sure. Hopefully the dud that is the Zune won't be repeated in the Zune Contact, as this concept comes with a revamped user interface, a super slim body, a 5 megapixel camera and a full touch screen display - no idea if it supports multi-touch or not though. What do you think Microsoft needs to do to make an iPhone killer?

Garmin Lifetime Traffic Is Ad-Supported

post from Ubergizmo on 05 September 2008 12:44:28 PM. © Ubergizmo

Garmin Lifetime Traffic Is Ad-Supported

Garmin might be offering a free lifetime traffic feature to the masses, but that comes at a "price" so to speak - it will feature ads.

"One gripe: The nüvi 755T comes with advertisements. My evaluation unit arrived with three preloaded vendors (BP, Walgreens, and Wells Fargo). When you access the traffic menu, one of these advertiser's names always appears at the bottom of the screen. Also, from time to time, one of these ads will pop up on the map view screen (they won't appear when you are in motion). A single tap of the advertisers' name will perform a POI search for nearby retail locations. Unfortunately, you can't disable these ads, but it's likely that they help Garmin offset the cost of the live traffic information that it offers free."

How much are you willing to pay to get rid of the ads, or are you fine with companies bombarding you with promotional material from time to time?

ezJam Combo Guitar

post from Ubergizmo on 05 September 2008 12:41:49 PM. © Ubergizmo

ezJam Combo Guitar

If you're a fan of Rock Band and Guitar Hero, it makes perfect sense to get a cross-compatible peripheral that is the ezJam Combo Guitar - after all, you certainly can't be playing both games simultaneously, and it makes much more sense to have just one device that can work with both games instead of splurging more money on two individual gaming guitars. The ezJam Combo Guitar comes with a port that plugs into the Wiimote whenever you're rocking with Guitar Hero III on your Wii, while you get a built-in wireless transmitter that works just great with Rock Band. It will retail for $70 a pop, making it slightly more expensive compared to other third party solutions, but at least it works with two different yet similar games.
