Phone Inspired From A Car Inspires A Phone That Is A Car
"Here’s a phone for all the car lovers out there. Created by some very innovative though design-challenged people over at QKFone, QKFone S3 is the ultimate car guy’s fantasy mobile phone. Based on the Mercedes Benz SLK, the “car phone” comes fully laced with regular car features like exhaust and axles as well as a fully functional mobile phone all gumbled up in one.
Yes ladies and gents, you heard it right. The miniature car model also doubles up as a cellphone complete with USB port at the rear of the car just underneath the number plate.
With SIM card and battery slots in place of seats, a touchscreen display on the underside, a stylus hidden inside the wing mirror, MP3 player, and MP4 video player among other regular Chinese cellphone features, the QKFone S3 doesn’t exactly pass the aesthetics test with flying color but seems, for the time being, quite enough to fulfill the imagination of a car-loving young gentleman who cant find a date Saturday night..."

Wine Glass Speakers & Wine Barrel Amp
"Leave it to the Japanese to come up with the crazy Mini Clear Sound System DT-SA101. It has a rated output of 4W (x2), but the only thing that really matters here is the design. In addition to looking like a couple of wine glasses and a barrel, the DT-SA101 also features LEDs in the glass that apparently give the wine/champagne a carbonated look. At any rate, even if you were willing to waste $240 on this unit, you probably won't get a chance to since it is a Japan only release.

IPhone Apps: Free iPhone Tetris Getting Pulled from App Store
"Tris, the free version of Tetris for the iPhone that we loved ('cause it was free!) is being pulled from the App Store. Apparently, The Tetris Company called up Apple and it no likey. Its creator, Noah Witherspoon says that while he thinks their copyright claim is thin—and would be thinner still if he called it "Trys"—he doesn't really have the resources to fight it in court, so he's removing it from the store on Wednesday. Download it while you can folks!" "Tris, the free version of Tetris for the iPhone that we loved ('cause it was free!) is being pulled from the App Store. App... more

The OpenFrame Home Phone iPhone Clone
"The team at OpenPeak is hoping to spice up the outdated landline phone by "borrowing" the entire iPhone concept and repackaging it as a feature-rich communication hub for the home. Initially, the "OpenFrame" will include core touchscreen apps like calendar, news, weather, etc., and it doubles as a digital photo frame and an internet radio. Beyond that, the idea is to get developers interested in creating third party apps—just like the iPhone. The device is expected to be sold through telcos like Verizon and AT&T for between $200 and $300 sometime in early 2009, but I say just pick up an iPhone and stop wasting money on landlines altogether..."

Swedish Scientists Test iPhone 3G's Antenna
"A couple of Swedish scientists at a company that sells test chamber facilities for wireless devices decided to put the iPhone 3G's antenna to the test, in the light of the phone's supposed connectivity issues. Their verdict: "the values are completely normal." In other words, it compares very well with the antenna strength in both transmit and receive modes with a Nokia N73 and Sony Ericsson P1 that the guys tested out under the same conditions. They even checked out whether using the iPhone's other wireless functions conflicted with the phone antenna (which can sometimes happen) and found it to be fine under these conditions too. Good news. If there is an issue with the 3G performance, it doesn't seem to be coming from the antenna."

Getting the DNC Wired Up
"It will take more than a whoppingly huge stadium to host tens of thousands of party insiders, journalists, and bloggers who began arriving in Denver this weekend for the Democratic convention.
Even though actual news may be scarce, attendees are nevertheless hauling along laptops, cell phones, wireless cards, and innumerable other gadgets, all of which will place a severe severe strain on the city's communication infrastructure.
To handle the increased demand, the Democrats have enlisted the support of Qwest, Cisco Systems, and other companies to upgrade the technical infrastructure at the Pepsi Center and Invesco Field.
Working with two large facilities made the logistics of the convention more challenging, said Damon Jones, a spokesperson for the Democratic National Convention Committee, or DNCC. "We essentially had to duplicate a lot of the infrastructure," he said.
Barack Obama, the Democratic presidential candidate, is scheduled to accept his party's nomination at Invesco Field. It's the home of the Denver Broncos and is capable of holding around 75,000 people--far more than the Pepsi Center about a mile away.
As part of its planning process, the DNCC created a Technology Advisory Council, made up of representatives from Qwest, Microsoft, Cisco, Google, AT&T, Level3, Comcast, EchoStar, Hewlett-Packard, Symantec, as well as Denver city officials and Colorado state officials..."

Cowon's S9 Curve PMP Looks Exactly Like it Sounds it Should
"Cowon's stealing a march on the imminent IFA show by teasing with some info on its new S9 PMP ahead of time: and you know, it's an attractive beastie.

Inside the case we know there's a 3.3-inch AMOLED touchscreen, capable of 16 million colors, a powerful-seeming 500 MHz CPU, T-DMB, Bluetooth connectivity, media player functions and an electronic dictionary app. But there's no info on price or release dates or its storage capacity, as yet. It just looks fab. " "Cowon's stealing a march on the imminent IFA show by teasing with some info on its new S9 PMP ahead of time: and you know, ... more
