Enough of iPhone? Now Zune Phone Coming on Your Way...

It's confirmed that the Zune Phone is coming to take on iPhone! From the rumors, it seems that it will most likely not running Microsoft Mobile and non touchscreen (like the iPhone), but rather similar to the current Zune's interface.

While Apple iPhone is set to release it in US by June this year, Microsoft plans to catch up with them and aims to release it by end of the year this time round! Haha Think they could'nt afford to let the Apple steal the limelight again - Zune released only after 5 years of iPod head start!

Btw, Zune's design juz CMI... iPhone Rocks!

No Time to Bring Your Dog Out for Walk? Get a Treadmill for Your Dog instead

You've just reached home from work and you are just freaking tired from the hectic day you had in the office. Then your playful Bobby comes jumping on your leg and barking, hinting you to bring him out for walk. Aw man, but the first thing in your mind right now is to jump onto your king size bed immediately without even thinking of taking a shower first... So not to disappoint your dog, you pull out the Doggy Treadmill from your storeroom and let him walk himself, while you happily go back to your room to ZZzzzZZZ... Muahhahaha!~

okok, guess that I could hear dog-lovers starting to condemn about this pet gadget ya? Think this pet gadget is only for lazy people and I don't fall in this category ok... O :-)

Introducing the Real Apple iPhone, forget about the fakes ones

Look! It's an iPod, it's a phone, it's an internet device, it's iPhone! The long awaited Apple iPhone is finally here!

VS

By comparing to the fake iPhones in my previous post, the above fake iPhone on the right is the closest match I can find - 80% alike! Hmm, but somehow I prefer the fake one leh~ It looks more stylish... lolz! See the rest of the fake iPhones in my previous post.

Introducing some of the Apple iPhone main features:
iPod

A widescreen iPod that features touch screen controls that allow you to enjoy all your contents, be it audiobooks, music, TV Shows, videos or photos, all on a beautiful 3.5-inch widescreen display.

Phone

You can make a call simply by pointing your finger at a name or number in your address book, favourite list, or a call log and quickly merge calls together to create conference calls.

Internet Device
It features a rich HTML email client and Safari, which automatically syncs bookmarks from your PC or Mac. Safari also includes built-in Google and Yahoo! Search. iPhone is fully multi-tasking, which mean that you can read a web page while downloading your email in the background over Wi-Fi or EDGE.

Completely Touchscreen
Allows you to control everything using only your fingers. So you can glide through albums with Cover Flow, flip through photos and email them with a touch, or zoom in and out on a section of a web page.

Smart Sensors
It automatically changes the contents of the display when it detects you rotate the device from portrait to landscape and switch off the display to save power when you bring the iPhone close to your ear. It also adjusts the display brightness to the appropriate level for the current ambient light, thereby saving the battery power.

The iPhone will only be shipped to Asia in 2008 and it gonna cost $499 USD for 4GB Model and $599 USD for 5GB Model with 2-year contract when it releases in US in June this year. Expensive ya? Guess that it might cost at least $1000+ when it launches in Singapore?! Gotta start saving money for this must-have gadget!

Lighting Up Your Cigarettes with Laser Pointer

Does your normal red laser pointer light up the cigarette, pop balloons or burn plastic? I bet yours don't! Most laser pointers commercially available in Singapore are about 5mW. However, the high power class lasers that you are looking now pumps up to 300mW!! Perhaps you could'nt picture how powerful is 300mW... Well, take a look at the clip below that give you some ideas about the power of the wicked laser pointers.

By the way, don't expect to own these laser pointers in Singapore... They are ILLEGAL! Damn it! The price range is about $150+ for lower powered to $3000+ for higher powered ones. Pretty pricey to own such gadgets... :(

Hey I Can Read Your Mind!!

20Q

I don't know whether you guys have seen this toy b4... But it's really cool and amazing! I'm totally impressed with it.

To play 20Q, think of something, anything, then answer a series of up to 20 questions. 20Q asks the questions via an LED display and you answer by pressing the 'yes,' 'no' or 'maybe' buttons. By asking questions that seem completely irrelevant ("Is it flat?" and "Is it heavier than a pound of butter?") 20Q somehow works out what you're thinking. To add to the fun and games 20Q will sometimes stop to taunt you, displaying messages such as "You can't beat me" or "You thought you were tricky. After 20 questions it should be able to name the object, although if it guesses incorrectly it will ask five more questions and take a second guess before admitting defeat.

You can check out this wonderful site @ www.20q.net and challenge the AI. You will be DAMN SURPRISED that it reads your mind!
