Black Diamond Smartphone

The Black Diamond Smartphone was a concept a few months back and most of us thought it would stay that way. However, a company called VIPM is going to be producing these in very limited numbers. Basically it means that they will be a tad on the expensive side (ie… you wont get it free with a contract). The price tag will be somewhere in the $300k price range. Yes… that K is another 3 zero’s on there 🙂

It looks amazing. It runs the Windows Mobile 5.0 platform and has a 2 inch screen. It has a 400Mhz XScale processor with wifi, bluetooth, 128Meg of internal memory and a touch sensative keypad.

Earlier I mentioned it is a limited edition. A total of 5 will be made. Good luck at getting one 🙂 And raising the money to buy it. What happens if it breaks though? Will they ship another? That would mean that a 6th would have to be made. Hmmmm.

SatuGO Bouncing Ball Digital Camera

The Bouncing Ball Digital Camera from SatuGO is a cool looking device. It’s a webcam but in the form of a rubber ball. Really! It is. You can throw this thing around and have it snap shots while in the air, as it hits the floor or when ever you want. Instead of breaking in impact like most cameras would, this thing just bounces away.

I do wonder though if while chucking it through the air at crazy speeds, what will the quality be like?

PSP – PS3 Remote – RSS

It has been confirmed in San Diego that the Sony PSP will be capable of working as a remote for the Sony Playstation 3 which is due out later this hear. It has been a rumour for a number of months but is now official.

The next version of firmware for the PSP is version 2.8 which will include support for RSS video feeds and will also include a demo of World Tour Soccer 2.

It’s good news that the PSP is still getting the needed support from Sony with the launch of the new Sony PS3.

Other news for the PSP is that it will feature a better keyboard soon as this is one of the downsides of using the device for anything else but games.

Skype Retro Phone

If you do not mind being attached to your PC with a curly cord then the Skype Retro phone is for you. It’s basically shaped in the form of one of those old 80’s and earlier phones with the curly cord and chunky hand set. Looks funny and I dont think I will be able to make a serious call with it.

All we need now is a Skype Candlestick Phone 🙂

Belkin Skype Phone

Skype has taken the world by storm over the last few years. Recently we are seeing more and more phones become available so that you can make calls like you would with a regular phone and not have to be attached to your PC and wearing a headset.

The Belkin Skype phone is a nice new Wi-fi Skype phone which has all the software built in. All you do is get your self to the nearest wi-fi hotspot (which are all over these days) and then you log in on the phone to the Skype network and can make calls all over the world for free to other Skype users. These new phones are just amazing! What else makes it great is that wi-fi is world wide. It doesnt matter what country you are in, as long as you are in a hotspot then you are good to log in and call anywhere.

The only downside is that wi-fi networks are not as accessable as a mobile cellular network, but who cares? Wi-fi is growing at a huge rate and it wont be long before wi-fi is everywhere.

The phone is set to retail for $190 and looks just like a regular phone. More details below.
