Imitating the looks of a F1 Ferrari, this red blushing beauty is a car phone with a difference. Like the phone that masqueraded as a cigarette box, this one's got a Ferrari hangover. It F1 features a 2.2″ LCD touchscreen, MP3, 3GP, and MP4 file support, it can be expanded via a transflash card and it weighs 82 grams. Besides these specs and really hot looks, there's little else going for the phone. Spending ₤96.54 ($191) on this seems...

I remember the time when I was in college and this friend of mine was a great artist. She hand-painted an Iron Maiden T-shirt for and I still have it as a keepsake. Looking at this Nintendo All-Stars Custom Converse Shoe brings back all those fond memories. Wearing your passion on your sleeve, or shall I say your feet, this pair has Yoshi, princess, Mario and other Nintendo characters painted. Apparently the seller has made this pair for a...

According to the Greek iPhone unlocking site, the Text strings in the latest beta of Apple's iPhone 2.0 firmware indicate towards multiple new features plus extra measures to prevent unlocking. References to 3G chipsets have been made; the code also adds A2DP and "HeadphoneBT" entries, suggesting support for stereo Bluetooth audio, in addition to the "HeadsetBT" mention for existing mono Bluetooth headset support. Apparently there will be a Bluetooth remote control. Hardware references include a hint to "RoleGps," implying...

Some more dope on Nokia Tube the alleged iPhone killer from the Finnish giant. If rumors are to be believed its official name will be Nokia 5800 Tube. The Quad Band GSM phone will support 3G and feature a 3.2 inch touchscreen (640 x 360 pixels) with support for Tactile Feedback, a new technology which transforms traditional passive touchscreens into active displays that “come alive” by making graphical buttons seem to press and release like physical buttons. When compared...

Hardly has the bickering around the Speedo LZR Racer settled, that Japan's double Olympic champion Kosuke Kitajima has gone ahead and unveiled a "sensational" swimsuit that rivals the Speedo one. The swimsuit has been developed by Japan's Mizuno and is apparently 8% more water-resistant than its previous models. Kitajima hopes that the suit will help him regain the 100 and 200-metre breaststroke medals he picked up in Athens four years ago. Source...

Joseph Cory, of Geotectura has teamed up with Technion aerospace engineer Dr. Pini Gurfil to develop an array of helium-filled platforms constructed from a new fabric coated with photovoltaic solar cells. Dubbed Sunhope, the project is showing great promise as a low-cost deployable system that would harness solar energy while maintaining a minuscule environmental footprint. These solar balloons are as low-impact as power plants get, since their infrastructure is composed entirely of a control panel, a helium supply cable,...

The sticky note is the most used office stationary on this planet. Isn't it silly that we need all these personal organizers, PDAs, and the like to remember the most mundane of activities? The memo note uses thermo-chromic ink - like that used in thermometer strips - which changes color in response to temperature. It also employs low-cost electronic circuit printing technology, similar to that inside musical and light-up greeting cards. The reusable notes were originally designed for people...

If you ever notice a light flicker in your home, it could mean that they may be using it to power the most powerful laser in the world. The Texas Petawatt is the only operating petawatt laser in the United States. Ditmire says that when the laser is turned on, it has the power output of more than 2,000 times the output of all power plants in the United States. (A petawatt is one quadrillion watts.) The laser is...

Secret Eyes is a service specifically set up to ensnare cheating guys. They send a woman termed as a “female decoy” to “test your boyfriend or husband to check his faithfulness meter.” Seems unreal? But you better...

This is a trend that needs no introduction. The art of turning everything Lego is something that needs appreciation rather than a cliché appreciation. The studs on the oversized Lego brick act as controls for the player and you can also find a USB port and a headphone jack. It supports both MP3 and WMA file formats. The colors are pretty realistic enough to represent overgrown Lego bricks. Imagine fitting the giant blocks together and having a giant music...

Here's ApriPoco the cute little robotic helper from Toshiba. It has an infrared sensor and when activated it watches for the infrared signals emitted by remote controls and when it senses one it asks the user "What are you doing"? From the voice reply, for example "Switching on the TV", it begins to learn the meaning of each signal and eventually can imitate the remote control when commanded by voice. It can even remember program names and genres so...

Thanks to the supply chain problems and the rework needed by the makers on the jet, we will have to wait till the third quarter of 2009 for the release of the Boeing 787. This extended delay adds six more months to the tantalizing wait by the fans of the aircraft who have their patience already worn out. After the launch we have the wait for some real action a.k.a. test flights. And this doesn't really seem to be...
