Audi is pioneering the way to the most literal attempt at minimal, all-in-one devices. They're combining their car control devices with a cell phone into one neat [and conceptual] gadget, not to even mention all of the other features it carries.
Not only can it control your car and your calls, it also sports Wi-Fi and 3G UMTS technology. But that isn't all, folks. If this thing goes through, it will play your MP3s and act as in input for the car's naviagtion mechanism.

These finger condoms, otherwise known as Phone Fingers, will help you keep your iPhone looking as shiny as the day you bought it. Of course, they'll also make you look completely ridiculous.
Minor technicalities (such as your dignity) aside, these serve a worthy purpose. You can't help but cover your iPhone in fingerprints, because after all, the thing is literally one big touch screen.

The International Air Transport Association has persuaded various airlines to join in the rally to have customers use their cell phones as their ticket for the plane ride. This would mean you would setup your flight and you would then receive a text message containing a barcode that could be scanned right from your cell phone's screen and this would serve as your ticket. Now this system will not be implemented for some time, but a few things that I'm curious about are small children or folks that just dont use cell phones.

Gmail Mobile has just released version 1.5 to the public. This upgrade includes a slim down in data usage when communicating with gmail, which means if you're on a limited data plan then this will definitely save you money, if not then you may just notice a slightly faster loading time. Also the new version of the mobile client provides for better searching of all folders from your mobile, ability to view full contacts details stored in your gmail contact list, calls directly from your gmail address book, and being able to save a composed message to send later.

HTC had lauched the Touch as a iPhone equivilent for Windows Mobile, the phone didn't really boom, although it did do well. Presonally one of my complaints about both devices is that I really prefer to have a hardware keyboard, well HTC has just addressed that with the HTC Touch Dual, the Touch Dual features an almost identical design to the original Touch but also incorporates a slide out hardware keyboard, now the keyboard is not a standard full qwerty, rather it's a suretype keyboard with 2 letters per key, much like some blackberrys.

In recent years it seems that we've watched a major push for open access and open software and devices from pretty much everyone, as it should be. When paying so much for a device, I want to be able to use it as I choose and with the service provider of my choice, although most of the time that isn't possible without some major programming work....*cough*iPhone*cough*. Well for al those of you that have a bit of insight into programming and like the freedom of open source technology, welcome the openmoko project.

One deciding factor in the
iPhone vs. iPod Touch debate is the attractive iPhone apps that can't be run on the iPod. Finally, that little annoyance has been remedied (making your decision that much harder).
So far, the
third-party apps were installed onto an iPod Touch by a blog reader (

Colorware continues their tradition of slathering paint (oh-so-carefully) onto your prized electronics, having extended their spectrum to the newer line of Apple products. This means if you aren't happy with the colors of your new iMac, iPod Nano, iPod Classic, iPod Touch, or iPhone, or perhaps your gear just doesn't look exclusive enough as is, then you can call these guys up and change that (for a price).

No matter who you are,
cell phones undertake a lot of abuse from day-to-day. Women's phones tend to accumulate an impressive amount of scratches from being tossed around in their purses, where others are throwing cell phones into their pockets with the keys or dropping them into the swimming pool.
While it may not help mobile phones taking a dip in the pool, a new,
rubberized phone concept may help reduce the beatings our phones take.

First,
the
iPhone was everything but bricked, leaving all of the unlocked and hacked iPhones raped by Apple firmware updates. Then, our
hackers fixed it...almost. The third-party apps were working, but no one could actually
dial. Now, it is
back in full force, calls included.[Read the rest of this post]
