Mobispine iPhone MMS Application

Although the iPhone has been celebrated as one of the greatest innovations of recent, I must say that some of the designers probably were living under a rock or inside a cave for most of their life - how can you not have an MMS application on a multimedia phone?

Luckily, Mobispine has designed an iPhone MMS application which is to be launched very soon. Mobispine says that the app will be branded to each particular operator, and distributed via Apple's App Store, but I don't know when all of this is going to go down. I'll definitely be looking forward to this one!

Would you like a Web Edition for your Car?

Chrysler has unveiled its latest 'Web Edition' cars for the general public - probably a move that will be interesting in this sagging economy. Obviously this edition is targeted at the tech savvy and dare I say - geeks! So don't bother getting the off road edition or the luxury edition or even the sports edition. If you're a loyal reader of New Gadgets Guru - go and get the Web Edition!

So what does the Web Edition comprise of? Well to name a few, it has a Dell Mini 9 Netbook, an 8GB iPod Touch (I would have preferred the 16GB), a Sony PSP (redundant now that the iPod Touch has gaming features)and of course a digital camera with Eye Fi Wi Fi SD card. All in all, this is a cool $1,999 package.

Autonet CEO Sterling Pratz says, "We're emphasizing this as the next entertainment platform in cars" more than a communication and productivity platform, though you can do whatever you want with the system. Bits is bits. Trip-centric Web services like Fandango and OpenTable are naturals for a Web rig in the car.

The question really is - IS this a value proposition that is going to drive potential customers to buy 'Web Edition' cars? How about a 'Runs on Water Edition' or a 'Electric Powered Edition' instead?

Now your cellphone and landline phone can work together

How many of us have ditched our landline telephones since cellphones have become popular and dare I say - cheap? Well I'm pretty sure that most of us don't rely on the landline phone anymore. But at times, I do miss my landline phone simply because of its simplicity and of course - no coverage issues or dropped calls. Thanks to Xtreme Technology, now there is a solution for both the cell phone and the landline phone to work together.

It recently announced two new Xlink Bluetooth gateways, the Xlink BT and the Xlink BTTN, that allow you to use your regular telephone to handle your cell phone service. Both gateways let you take cell calls on your landline phone and support up to three Bluetooth-enabled mobile handsets. The new XLink BT, however, is for those without a landline service, like me, while the XLink BTTN lets you take your landline calls on your mobile phone and vice-versa.

Certainly something very interesting I must say. Now you can marry your cellphone to your landline phone!

Logitech Keyboard for the Mac

This all new Logitech Keyboard for the Mac definitely sounds promising. Logitech has announced a Mac version of its popular diNovo Keyboard. The new diNovo keyboard promises to be the perfect companion to your Mac desktop, with all the buttons in the familiar Mac-style layout in a slim, easy-to-use layout. The keys themselves are part of Logitech's PerfectStroke system that allows for uniform tactile feedback across the entire surface of the key, making for a pretty comfortable typing experience.

In addition, this is a 2.4GHz wireless system that Logitech claims will last three years before you'll need to change batteries. And of course, the keyboard has an integrated wrist wrest that we all need to keep arthritis at bay. The Logitech diNovo Keyboard Mac Edition is available now for $99.99. Yes that's right, $99.99. I for one, certainly like this keyboard and seriously considering to get one for my mac. How about you?

Welcome the all new Nokia E63

Anyone looking to ditching their E71 should take a serious look at the all new Nokia E63. The folks at TamsS60 have done a great job of unboxing and providing an initial impression of this Nokia E63 handset. For starters, it definitely seems like Nokia did a good job in getting rid of the annoying keyboard on the N71 and replacing it with a better looking (and better feeling?) keyboard. Apparently the keyboards are now made of rubber which definitely feels better to the touch.

The Nokia is also supposed to "address major issues found on the E71". I wonder what they might be? C'mon Nokia, get your act together. And oh I almost forgot, if you still plan to hang on to that leather case that you got for your E71, tough luck! This baby doesn't fit into it and you got to ditch it as well. No indication on launch date or price as of yet. But stay tuned and I will post more details as they become available.
