Wallet Sized MP3
As technology advances, things shrink in size. The Wallet sized MP3 player is no exception to this. It is named the walletex and fits in your wallet. It is a little larger then a credit card in thickness and contains up to 2Gb storage space which is solid state. The connector is a USB and this doubles as a headphone jack with a small adapter.

There is no information yet on costs and when it is available, but we expect it to do quite well.

Skype Competition

Skype Phone
If you would like to win one of these Skype USB phones then read on. Before I pass on details of Skype’s little competition I will pass along a quick review of the above phone. I purchased one of these as a gift for a family member at christmas and it does exactly what it should. You basically plug it in, install the drivers and then you have full control over skype from the USB phone. If you push the red phone then skype minimises, if you push the skype button then it loads back up. You then have the option of scrolling through the contacts list on screen, or entering a number to dial. It is very basic and has no screen it’s self. If you are looking for a basic phone to make outbound calls then the US Robotics phone is an ideal choice at a good price.

Competition details after the jump.

Universal Charging in China

December 22, 2006 by Leave a Comment

USB Charging
China are to be praised for this decision. They made a rule that in China, all mobile phones are to use a standardized USB charger. This is a GREAT move forwards for China and I hope that all mobile phone companies follow suit and do this. This basically means that any mobile can be used with 1 charger and not a charger for every phone. It will be very handy for those who either forget to charge their phone, or want to charge their device via their laptop or another USB device.

SolarPort
The SolarPort is a mobile charger that gets it’s power from the sun. This is very handy for situations where you have no way of powering your device. It does take time to charge a device as it’s not got as much kick as a mains connection, but it can come in handy for those situations where you really need power. It’s about the size of a VHS video cassette and devices can connect via USB. There is an option for a generic connection for those devices not USB compatible.

The solarport costs 119 dollars and has a connection for charging rechargable AA batteries also. It can be set to charge at either 6v or 12v.
