I have not heard of Pantech before and came across today the Pantech PG3600V which looks to be promising from looking at the pics and specs. It has an iPod like click wheel and a slide out number pad so that calls can be made. Not much information is available yet but there are some nice images below of this new device.
Plantronics are a big player in the headset market and have now launched the Voyager 510-USB which is designed to work well with VOIP. You can connect it to your PC, phone etc… and then use the headset for calls while roaming anywhere in your office.

Up until today I have never heard of someone modding a DS. Maybe I am just slow and not with the times any more. At any rate, someone has modded a Nintendo DS case to look like the good old Japanese Megadrive (the one with the red instead of gray) on the top of it. It also features the cool 16-Bit on the top too 🙂 Great fun!

Philips have introduced the SLA 5520 Steamium adapter. The device streams audio and visual data. Streamium has been expensive in the past, but now with the introduction of the SLA 5520, this is now changing and this device will sell at $99. The only down side is the 2 tone screen rather then a colour screen.
So what is all this Streamium stuff about? Basically, you can broadcast from your PC, music and video all over your house. Not too complicated 🙂

Datel are launching a Bluetooth headset for the XBOX 360 which connects through a dongle. Again, another excellent addition for the XBOX 360 and very useful for online gaming and such. It will cost £59.99 and is available to pre order through Amazon.co.uk
The Logitec V450 mouse is the latest in the vast parade of mice from them. It’s a mouse 🙂 Hmmm… what else can be said. Not much really except it is smaller and maybe aimed towards the laptop users, and the battery life is supposed to be a lot better. It also uses the 2.4Ghz frequency which apparantly does not have any interfearance with other items.

Imagine driving towards some traffic lights and you can have a count down telling you how long before the light changes Green. Or if an ambulance is on it’s way and you need to move. This might happen with this new idea from Sony. It’s basically a system currently which is designed to pass messages from car to car through an LED which appears to be switched on all the time but is inface flashing very quickly. I personally have no idea what a car to car communication could be needed for, bearing in mind the you would have to type out a message etc… and surely it’s quicker to call someone. Maybe something like a breaking system might be of benefit where it can warn the driver behind of sharp braking.

OhGizmo are reporting on the worlds smallest wireless camera which is colour. As seen in the picture below, the actual camera is less then an inch and can run on a 9v battery for about 10 hours beaming signals across the waves. Unfortunatly the camera needs to be in direct site of the receiver which means it wont be that great for spy related activities.

The Nokia N93 is a little too big to be used as a phone in the oppinion of some. It does have plenty of nice features though such as a 3.2 megapixel camera, 50Mb memory, wi-fi, U plug and play, and a nice 2.4″ screen. It is powerful! No doubt about that.
