The Awsome Google or android phone!! | |
Drum roll please.....introducing the G1, the new Google phone - one of the most hotly anticipated gadgets to hit our techno-hungry world in the last few years. The world's first Android phone, the GI has been developed so users can have the Google 'instant' search experience on their phones. It boasts impressive features such as a motion sensor, which allows users to navigate Google Maps just by turning the phone. The good-looking handset features a 3.2 inch touch screen and slide-out qwerty keyboard, so it slips easily between the two functions withouth one crowding the other. The phone was designed by San Francisco-based designers who worked with Google to create a pioneering mobile communications device which fulfills all of our phone, internet and search needs just as efficiently as our laptops or desktops. What does it mean for Apple, we hear you wondering out loud? Time will only tell. It's certainly the first real competitor the iPhone has faced. Whatever happens...it's got us interested. We want one. Now. |
LIGHT TAPE JUST AWSOME!! | |
Lighting Stripes and magic tape are illuminating advertising spaces. These products project a continuous 180-degree light, bright enough to be seen from up to 130 meters (426 ft) at night. The tape is totally flexible and can be wrapped around any surface as well as cut to any shape and size. Lighting Stripes & Magic Tape are completely dimmable for funky lighting effects, as well as appealing backlit displays. The concept behind the tape has also been used in a range of furniture pieces by the manufacturer Elshine. The tapes thousand and one uses range from wearing them as a Flashdance headband and hitting the clubs through to gift wrapping Grandma's birthday gift and blinding her. One thing is for sure, if these were around in the 80's, George Michael would have wallpapered his entire house with it. OTT! |

Fingerprind id phone!! | |
The high-end mobile phone markets of Europe, Asia and the Middle East are the principal demographics to experience the world’s first “fingerprint-recognition” phone by Pantech, and only time will tell if the rest of the world will be ready for the revolution that the GI100 will initiate; if not a revolution, then a jealous tirade by the competition. Bleeding-edge technology meets second-to-none design elements with this phone. This featherweight (82g) delivers a serious KO to the ubiquitous world of cell phone features, function and design. This phone has a serious intelligence quotient in that it allows for the Secret Finger Dial to dial specified phone numbers that are identified by each unique finger print (for a total of 10). I told you this kid was smart! The phone comes pre-loaded with 64 polyphonic ringtones, can save up to 800 numbers and allows for 2.5hrs of voice recording. I don’t think any of the proverbial stones were left uncovered with this product |
The ultimate desk! | |

Definitions and imagination aside, The VisionStation by Elumens is an exciting and cutting-edge product that will be appreciated by optic nerves everywhere. Seeing is truly believing with this product. |
