Walkie Talkie Watches.

Walkie Talkie Watches. £59.99 ($96.58) a pair. We’re not talking 200 yard range here, they’re supposed to be good for ‘up to 3km’.  Mmm…I’ve tried these small walkie talkie type toys before and the range is strictly effective if you’re standing in the middle of a very flat desert, with no house, tree or other living thing in between the two units. But they look pretty though, don’t they? [Thanks Allen]  The watch design, 3km range and VOX (Voice Activated Operation –…

Qwerty for cell phones.

The folks at Eatoni (sounds like a pizza place, don’t it?) have come up with  the EQ3 QWERTY key pad for mobile phones. At the moment only available for free for the Nokia 668x range of phones if you buy their EQ3 Mail software for $13.50. Does this kind of product make sense? Bearing in mind that T9 predictive text is very very fast in most circumstances? Mmm…  There is no need to buy a smart phone with a full…

Code 5 Bat Signal.

Code 5 Lone Worker Protection. Service lets you configure an emergency key on your mobile phone (usually the 5 key ) which you can press when you need help. At which point a two way comms link opens up between you and remote monitoring station personnel who can listen in and call emergency services if necessary. No prices given, although there’s a one off set up charge and a monthly monitoring fee. Not quite as glam as the Bat Signal though,…

BlueAnt Pink Thing.

The BlueAnt Hot Pink X3 Micro Bluetooth Headset. I wish they’d make up their minds. Pink or blue? Girl or boy? Stylish or comfortable? USB or rechargeable? Tiny or lightweight? $129.00 or a smack in the head? [Thanks Daniel]  The award winning X3 micro Bluetooth headset is one of the smallest and best performing headsets available in the world. Lightweight, stylish and comfortable, the X3 micro is the ultimate Bluetooth accessory for people on the move. The X3 micro can…

Rebtel.

Rebtel low cost mobile call service. Billed as the new way to call the world from your mobile phone. It’s kind of a callback service where you set up local geographic phone numbers at both ends of the chat and use these numbers on your mobile handset to connect via the Rebtel service. If it sounds complicated that’s because it is, a bit. The service charge is $1.00 for every week that you use it. Sign up didn’t work for me, which is not…

Recycle that cell!

Envirofone.com. Dude, are you like us? Got a desk drawer full of old decrepit cell phone handsets? Then why not recycle them for cash or points? Points? Yep, points. For us in retail outlets. Nice idea and probably better than letting them rot, especially since a chunk of the proceeds goes to charity.  Each year, over 100 million mobile phones are thrown away in Europe. In most cases they are discarded, sent back to dealers, or left lying around in…

GT Cube.

The GT-Cube. Billed as the ‘world’s smallest hands-free wireless FM transmitter.’ Plug it into your mobile phone handset (Korean only?) and broadcast your MP3 music to the nearest FM radio or hi-fi system. Neat idea and comes complete with hands free mode for incoming calls. Neat.  The GT-Cube connects to a 10-polarity ear jack of a mobile phone and transmits MP3 audio signals wirelessly from the mobile phone to an FM radio, allowing you to listen to music at a…

Mobile info comes good.

Wampad. Simply genius. A cell phone start page from Shawn McCollum with a brilliantly simple interface (ie via a drop down box). This means minimal load times and an amazingly useful list of stuff you can access very fast. Including of course, search, shopping, movies (although no ‘what’s on’ as yet), news, RSS etc etc. Love it to bits. This is definitely my new mobile launch page.  It allows you to choose a vertical search option from a drop down, enter a query…

Solar Powered Mobile Phone.

The Solar Powered Mobile Phone sounds as if it will solve a whole heap of problems. Just think about permanently switched on cell phone communications. No wait, maybe that’s not such a good idea after all.   Solar cell technology also lends itself to use in modern mobile devices, as demonstrated by the solar-powered mobile phone introduced by researchers at the ISE, which achieves a module efficiency rate of 20 percent using device-integrated, high-efficiency solar cells. This technology will enable unlimited…

Tiggdo.

Tiggdo. Appears to be a kind of Netvibes for mobile phones. Add your RSS, weather, news and things like traffic feeds and carry them with you on the move. Well it had to happen, didn’t it? I’d be a little more charitable if it wasn’t for the fact that it refused my valid password and locked me out after 3 attempts. Who’s got the time, guys? [Update: OK, sorted, it’s a UK vs main site issue. Works well now on the…

Cell Phone Shield.

The Cellular Phone Shield. Quite definitely one of the most superb products the Ferret has ever featured down the years. This shield offers ‘maximum’ protection for your health and safety. How? By making it so chuffin’ embarrassing to make a call that your phone stays locked safely in your drawer or pocket for all time. Genius, sheer blooming genius. $49.95.  Shields the user from the RF microwave radiation emitted from both the body of the phone and antenna. This shield…

Anti Radiation Cell Phone Pouch.

The Anti Radiation Mobile Phone Pouch. Protect your body from ‘dangerous cell-phone radiation’ with this shielded carrying pouch. Available in black, grey or Geiger counter yellow (just kidding). $24.99. Check out the Pocket Shield too.  The Anti-Radiation Pouch utilizes a protective anti-radiation shield between the outer and inner layers of the backside of the pouch to minimize electromagnetic exposure to your vital body parts.

The Winnie Phone.

So tell me Piglet, is the new Winnie the Pooh Dmobo P700 Cell Phone the start of a new trend? Can we expect to see Tigger laptops, Eeyore digicams and the occasional Christopher Robin PVR? Maybe if enough people stump up the $360.00 these fables might come to pass. Shudder.   A special edition to celebrate Pooh’s 80 years of Friendship and adventures. The enchanting and luxurious premium package with P700 is in an attempt to inspire you to discover…
