Sidewinder – Another Wrist Mobile Phone
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Before some time, we’ve posted sexy wrist mobile phone. Now, here’s another hot wrist mobile phone – Sidewinder, designed by Susan Cho, whose idea was to create a multi-touch cell phone that a person could wear on his/her wrist.
Do you think, this might be the next stage in technological development? Unfortunately, the multi-touch technology has not reach the phase in which it could be used in a device with such a small interface. Nevertheless, Sidewinder watch phone is still worth mentioning on Gadgets.
The designer says that the watch phone has several menus and boasts a number of tools such as contacts, keypad, GPS, maps and other features that can be found today on smartphones. In addition, the Sidewinder incorporates multi-touch technology.
So go and watch at least instead of buying it.

When NASA first offered space shuttles for sale, no one actually wanted to buy the because of the prices so the agency has decided to slash the price to a more modest $28.8 million each. And the engines are free of cost.
This discovery is already headed to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum and the engines mentioned above originally went for about $400,000 to $800,000 apiece, but no one bit when they were put up for sale in December 2008.

With as many as 67 Vintage cars and bikes, BMW new car is the smaller and seductive small car than Nano. This BMW is certainly smaller than the Nano.

Uvo – Microsoft and Kia Partnership
I think, it’ll be last partnership in the year of 2009. Microsoft and Kia launching Uvo (short for “your voice). It’s another implementation of Microsoft’s Windows Embedded Technologies, the guts behind Sync, and so while we expect that will mean the two systems will be inherently very similar.
Let’s see what functionality or new product come with the name of Uvo. Anyways, hope for the best…

Dell Vostro V13 Laptop
Dell Singapore has just launched the thing officially as the Vostro V13, complete with specs. Oops. Dell PR tries to put out that fire, we can dance in the rubble and tell you that Dell’s putting everything it learned building the Adamo XPS to some more practical use in the .65-inch thick, sub-3.5-pound V13, which packs either a 1.2GHz Celeron, 1.3GHz Core 2 Duo or 1.4GHz Core 2 Solo with integrated X4500MHD graphics under that 13.3-inch screen. Sure, the design isn’t as wild as the Adamo XPS, but the extra thickness means that it can accommodate an Ethernet port, along with eSATA, USB, an SD card slot and even a freaking ExpressCard slot.
All this for just a confirmed US$450. Interested? Google for Dell Singapore link for more pics and a nice 360-degree view.

Lenovo X100E - Small, Cheap & Sweet Laptop
Lenovo’s new X100E ultrathin laptop is just out in the market and it’s looking pretty sweet. An 11.6-inch screen, redesigned chiclet keyboard, a supposed starting price of less than $500 and colors ((Looks like red, white and black are the extent of the palette).
The X100E looks to be a substantial physical redesign from Lenovo. The new chiclet (or “island”) keyboard looks great, much less busy than previous ThinkPad layouts, and the overall design seems to have calmed down significantly.
It should be packing a low-power AMD Athon “Neo” processor, 4GB of memory, up to 500GB of hard drive storage, and boast a 5.1-hour battery life while weighing less than 3 pounds but the most enticing part has to be the price: Previous ThinkPads have been extremely pricey, often even more than equivalent Macs, yet the X100E is rumored to come in at $500 to start. No information on release date, but we’ll keep you updated.

- Bing vs Google Mobile
Mobile devices that need info fast without all the glamour of the standard Google site. Bing has been rising in the charts but needs to find a way to continue to grow; that’s mobile Bing.
For reminding this is a Microsoft product because the Bing team keeps present something new for users. For example, in making Bing mobile, they added some mobile-specific features that will perk interest. The first is flight information, simply go to Bing and enter in flight number and you’ll be given gate info, departure and arrival info. That is super handy for mobile users that actually are mobile as they rush across the airport.
The NFL Feature is another new feature. Simply enter the name of your team or player and you’ll receive info on schedule, standings, and while the game is on you’ll get real-time stats. Super handy for data freaks and desire.
Not a big list but the Bing team will be adding support for more devices in the near future. Bing has added a special version for mobile touchscreen devices such as iPhone, T-Mobile G1 or Samsung Omnia.
Bing Mobile might even look good on a Windows Mobile device. Used the touchscreen version of Bing mobile to search for movies and compared to the same search on Google, the Bing Mobile search was much better looking, more complete and offered trailers without any extra work. It is worth checking out and with clear, short data you may find you don’t need a full featured browser on your mobile device. You will like it.
