LG goes all Gadgety

wristwatch

There’s been an abundance of crap mobile phone watches over the years.

Who really wants a wrist-mounted watch anyway?  Is it just me or would you feel a bit stupid speaking into your wrist while you’re walking down the street?

In the past, loads of companies have tried to do the whole watch-as-a-phone thing but it’s never quite worked.  I’ve never seen anyone with a phone watch. Well, apart from Inspector Gadget.

Now those Korean heavyweights, LG, are changing the fortunes of the missunderstood phone-watch. This latest one isn’t even all that rubbish.

The LG-GD910 is 3G enabled and supports video calls. It’s slim too, at only 13.9 mm thick and has a 1.43 inch full touch screen LCD. It has a pretty decent text-to-speech feature; just in case texting into your wrist isn’t awkward enough. It also has a music player, built in blue tooth capabilities and a front facing camera for video calls and picture messaging.

It’s expected to be made available in Europe initially.

iPhone Gets an i-Transplant

6xlens-iphone

The iPhone camera isn’t all that great. In fact it’s a little, how do I this, wimpy.

The lens is about the size of a five pence piece and pixel count is paltry.

Well, fear not my friends because things have just got a whole lot better.  USB Fever have created three new lenses that you can attach to your iPhone.

I know adapted lenses for the iPhone have been around for a while.  A telescopic lens came out at the start of the year but didn’t really sell all that well. It did make the phone a bit difficult to carry around and you risked looking like a pervert if you carried it in your pocket.

Each one of USB Fever’s lenses attaches to the existing camera lens with magnets. As the iPhone’s body is plastic they’ve created  self-adhesive metal rings that encircle the lens to hold the external lens stay in place while you’re getting snap happy.

Each of the three lenses create different effects. The wide angle lens ($16.99) gives a Super Macro effect. The 2x telephoto lens ($16.99) provides, surprisingly, 2x magnification and the fish eye lens ($19.99) creates a 170 degree field of vision.

They’re all made with high grade aluminium and glass.

Samsung S8300 Emerge

samsung-s8300

Samsung’s new touch screen camera phone isn’t out until March next year but we thought it was worthy of a promo before it hit the shops.

Those dedicated Soul fans will love this little baby.

The evolved handset features the same slider but with slimmer dimensions this time. The s8300’s a slinky 12.8 mm thick with a  relatively huge 2.8 inch touch screen.  There’s an 8 mega pixel camera along with auto focus, GPS receiver, HSDPA and DivX video support.

Duralumin bodywork, anti-scratch and an anti-finger print coating gives it the sleek lines of a sports car.

We aren’t let down by the memory either. There’s 60 MB built in, with the option of extending it to enable lots of DIV X movie-watching fun.

Shame it’s not out for another 12 weeks or so.
