Ringboxx customizes your home phone ring tones

, Jan 17th 2008 Discuss [0]

People go a little overboard when it comes to ringtones, even I have in the past, but the Ringboxx has gone too far. I honestly don’t think your home phone needs customized ringtones. Read The Full Story

Seagate D.A.V.E. Technology portable hard drive

, Jan 14th 2008 Discuss [1]

So I stumbled upon this at one of the shows surround CES and thought it was pretty cool and I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen it or anything like it before. It looks like a fairly run of the mill external, pocket-sized, bus-powered hard drive, but its not.

SlashGear Exclusive : Exploring Samsung 5MP’s G800 Camera Features

, Jan 11th 2008 Discuss [2]

Curious at first, having never even owned a compact digicam never mind a cameraphone before, I took one for a ride. I was glad I wasn’t handed a 2-megapixel point-and-shoot model but rather Samsung’s G800, which aside from a cellphone has a modest 5-megapixels, 3x optical zoom, focus assist lamp and Xeon flash. In fact, loaded with decent camera functions, the G800 is in some ways the first of its kind. Folks, we’ve covered the basic features of the Samsung G800; now we’ll take a closer look at the camera features and image quality.

CES 2008: SkullCandy iPhone FMJ headphones

, Jan 10th 2008 Discuss [0]

They are marketing them for the iPhone, but they work with several other phones too and even have a cool feature they showed me at the booth, but the feature only works on the BlackBerry Curve, so they said. But they look like a normal pair of high-end SkullCandy earbuds, the only difference is that they have a microphone and a call/end switch. They come with a few different ear inserts and a case and they have their usual noise-isolating technology built in. I am pretty sure they said that the call/end button also acts as a play/pause button too. Anyways, the cool feature for the BlackBerry Curve that they showed me is that if you hold down the call/end button for a few seconds you can voice dial. If you want a pair, they aren’t high end by any means, but they are better than the stock earbuds by a lot and at $89.95 they are well worth it.

, Jan 6th 2008 Discuss [1]

The zBoost zPersonal, from Wi-Ex Inc., will repeat and amplify a cell phone signal outside a building to your cell phone inside to help give you that boost you may need to make your important calls. The good part is that it does so without breaking away from the cell carriers network.

CES 2008: Wistron NeWeb Corp. GW4 Linux Phone is Amazing and will have Android soon

, Jan 6th 2008 Discuss [0]

Alright, I’ll admit, I’ve never heard of this company, they also go by WNC, and they had a Linux phone that I was really impressed with. First, it has Linux, version 2.6, which means its open, then it has WiFi, a touch-screen, Bluetooth, a 2MP camera (which is the only mediocre thing about this phone), and so much more.

MOGO Wireless cellular signal amplifier

, Jan 4th 2008 Discuss [0]

So this device connects to either a USB power source or to a car power adapter (depending on which model you purchase) and amplifies any 800 and 1900MHz cellular signals that it receives. The end result is better cellular reception and fewer dropped calls, except this isn’t a Cingular commercial full of empty promises and lies, its actual technology, that from what I hear, works.
