Dell Mini 5 – iPad/iPhone Killer?

Jake — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 15:46:19 +0000

Dell entered the tablet marked with the Dell Mini 5. Will it be an iPad or iPhone killer?

We don’t think so. It looks to big to work as a phone, but too small to be a handy tablet… The future will tell.

“The WakeMate will analyze your sleep to find the optimal time for you to wake up.”

Will it also make phone calls to reschedule appointments in case you’ve to sleep a bit longer to reach the ‘optimal time to wake up’?

Plugging this device into any powered USB port should repel most flying insects according to manufacturer. This technology has not, however, received much commercial success… We wonder why…

The Video Watch: not a killer combo

They’ll keep trying combining stuff. The latest addition: a 8GB Video Watch. I don’t think it’ll be a success.

If you want to watch a movie or tv series while you’re on the go, why not use that far more suitable device you also carry around all the time: your mobile phone. This video watch may make it big in the “retro nerd scene”.

iPhone accessory for dorks

This accessory is a lot of things… ‘cool’ is not one of ‘em. Not in anyway. If you own an iPhone, you can use this holster to maintain your nerdy image. In all other cases use it as a gift for people you dislike.

sWAP Cell Phone Watch – another try

Jake — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 16:53:54 +0000

“The sWAP Cell Phone Watch transforms the watch into a wrist communicator a la Dick Tracy.”

Dick Tracy is old and so is this concept. We know this will never be a succesful combination.

One of the ‘features’ is that you can use it to visit WAP-sites. WAP never made it big, nobody used it, we thought it was long gone…

For a cool £ 249 it’s yours… Use it at an eighties party!

Apple’s iPhone: overexposed, overhyped

Jake — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 06:05:29 +0000

I’m the first to admit: the iPhone is a cool device, but… it’s beginning to suck big time. There’s too much to do about it, it’s overhyped and overexposed. Apple’s marketing department should take action by start working on a diversion plan to save it’s image….

In the meantime we’ll be waiting for the first Android phone (GPhone maybe?).

Orange Dance Charge

“The Orange Dance Charge is a portable phone charger powered through the kinetic movement of a system of weighs and magnets.”

We’ve checked if it was launched on April 1st… it was not.

The Neiman Marcus Underwater Wireless Speaker

Jake — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 06:42:01 +0000

Summertime is here. Water related gadgets pop up all over the place. Here’s one you can use underwater.
“Can go up to nine feet (3 meters) underwater for up to 30 minutes.”

Use it in case you want to lure your pool fish with mesmerizing sounds (or stun them with heavy metal).
