Israeli company Cellint has come up with a product called TrafficSense which collates info from driver’s mobile phones, and combines it with speed data, travel time and stuff to provide real time traffic jam updates. The technology will effectively track multiple handsets in a given area to warn drivers of traffic jams up ahead, without the need to install expensive sensors en route. Yay, we say. “Many traffic jams develop from nothing to a major jam in a few minutes – so a real…
Add-On Cell Phone Lenses. Now here’s the thing. After-market add-on lenses for PDAs, cell phones and the like are definitely a cool idea. No doubt. But why oh why, in the name of all that’s David Bailey have the guys decided to split the product packs up into two sets – one with macro and two other useless types, and the other pack with tele and two other useless versions? Everyone knows that tele and macro belong together, don’t they? Especially at $15.00 a…

The Cellpoint Flamingo. The folks at Cellpoint are claiming that their new Bluetooth wireless headset with ‘patented Earclick’ is one of the lightest and most comfortable of its kind on the market. Well at 11g, it’s certainly light, and it’s got to be more comfortable than the abominable BlueSpoon I checked out a while ago (and which I never got working despite the company sending me two of the things). So maybe it’s worth a look-see? The Flamingo’s lightweight and…

US only at the moment, but will go international if popular enough, and it’s free to send. Yep, it’s yet another cool app. Google Send to Phone for Firefox is an…
