If you live in the UK and have a PAYG SIM card with a ton of free text messages and another with a bunch of free minutes, you will probably of used either the two mobile phones way or keep switching SIM cards each time you want to send a text or make a voice call. I personally havent done this my self as I got fed up after trying for a day and just paid a larger bill instead. The Wind DUO 2000 comes in answer to this. It has 2 screens, 2 keypads, and 2 SIM card slots. It allows you to use 2 phones together on one device so you can have the convenience right there with out the hassle of switching off and on and changing SIM cards.

Amigo Wireless Router – Or Xbox 360
June 8, 2007 by Leave a Comment
The R622AG is built by Amigo and is a wireless router. It does look like an Xbox 360 though and the more I look at it the more it convinces me that they just used the same case and made space for new holes on the back. The wireless router is an 802.11 a/b/g and has 4 Ethernet ports and 2 USB ports which can be used to connect a variety of peripherals such as a hard drive or web cam.

iRiver S10 Review
May 28, 2007 by Leave a Comment
iRiver have created some nice MP3 players in the past. The next creation is the iRiver S10 which is a very small device. The screen is just 1.15 inches running at 96×128 pixels. The screen is OLED which is nice, bright and vibrant. With it being so small, iRiver have come up with a new way to control the device. Rather then put buttons all around the outside edge, the device works by tapping the top corners of the screen which reveals a menu. You can then work through this menu which has been designed very well. According to the reviewer at CoolTechZone it works flawlessly.
Sharp Shooting Remote Control
May 24, 2007 by Leave a Comment
When our family first got cable TV I was amazed at how many channels were available. I grew up with just the 4 and then a fifth came along when I was about 18. Next we had 30+ channels and unfortunately the TV was still full of boring stuff, and a lot of repeats too. The sharp shooting remote control aims to allow you to vent that frustration by pointing it at the screen and shooting it. By doing this you will change the channel. Shoot away till you find the channel you want. The remote control is compatible with most TVs. It has 1 button on the trigger which you pull. To re program this to do something else you just point your TV remote control and press a button. Pulling the trigger then just repeats that function over and over till you change it to something else.
PQI ReadyBoost DOM for Vista
May 23, 2007 by Leave a Comment
PQI are taking a unique but kind of weird approach to the ReadyBoost function of Windows Vista. The DOM (Disk on Module) is an internal solution that attaches direct to a USB port on your Motherboard. Coming in 4 sizes of 256MB, 512MB, 1GB and 2GB it allows you to use the performance increasing solution. I do not see the full benefit of this device yet other then freeing up a USB port on the outside of the case. Its a strange idea to have to open up your PC, put the ReadyBoost DOM in place and then remove it when you are done. Thats of course unless I am missing something here. I think most people will opt for a USB flash drive that can be easily removed from the front of the PC.
Battery Free Wireless Mouse
May 22, 2007 by Leave a Comment
Wireless mice are great. I used to get so fed up of the wire on the mouse getting trapped behind something. The problem with wireless mice is that occasionally the battery runs out right when you are in the middle of something important and you havent charged up the extra set. This mouse is different and uses induction to power the battery less wireless mouse. It draws power from an electric field generated by the mouse mat which gets its power via the USB connection.

007 Phone – Weird but Cool
May 14, 2007 by Leave a Comment
The 007 Phone is a mixture of an old phone with new insides. It reminds me of one of those old Motorola brick phones from the 80s, but yet crammed with todays technology. The screen is quite large at about 4 – 5 inches although specs do not confirm this. The phone has a built in 2 megapixel camera, 3D surround with stereo speakers and has a lot of James Bond images and music built in. One more picture after the jump. [Read more…]
MS Windows XP in your Pocket
May 10, 2007 by Leave a Comment
The USB flash drive has become more useful over the years with devices such as the VPhone from Vonage allowing you to carry around a land line which can be loaded up on any computer with internet access. With the rise of memory storage capacity also come other uses such as this Windows backup OS on a flash drive.
Put your self in this situation. You are out on business and you load up some software containing a virus which destroys part of your Windows XP OS. Being out of the road and having no access to the internet on another PC would make it very hard to fix this issue. Having a bootable flash drive running Windows XP would solve this problem for you. Using Bart PE Builder you can create a very handy flash drive with OS and plenty of utilities which could save your laptop a lot quicker then sending it back to the IT dept to fix.
