“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’?

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.

Mouse phone’s

We received some feedback on our last post (thanks Woolly).
What really sucks is when mouses (mice) also function as real phones.

What to do when – for example – a client calls, you pick up the phone (the mouse) and you have to look something up that’s on your computer? First thing to do: throw out the combined mouse phones.

Mouse Calculator Keypad

Canon combined a mouse, a calculator and a numeric keypad into one gadget. To make it even more confusing the damn thing looks like an old fashion cellular phone.
