Samsung Omnia – Samsung’s iPhone?

Saturday, November 29, 2008

Samsung’s new smartphone is inspired by iPhone, and starts off by pummelling its Apple rival with a cracking, five-meg camera with autofocus, flash and face detection. Just like the iPhone, you can customize the homepage icons and the touchscreen is very responsive, scrolling through the photos is very enjoyable. The only problem is that the [...]

Ansley Berrones – Women have their purses and men have their wallets – so the stereotype goes. However in this day and age, we are seeing more and more unisex items made available that touch both the feminine and masculine side of all of us. I have to be honest here, my man’s wallets, they [...]

Why BlackBerry users will love Storm and iPhone users won’t

Thursday, November 20, 2008

We’ve had a couple of days to play with the BlackBerry Storm, Research in Motion’s answer to the iPhone. It’s the first all-touchscreen, no-keyboard BlackBerry. And let’s be clear: It’s no iPhone. Its web browser is slow, and you can’t pinch to zoom (as with the T-Mobile G1, the Storm doesn’t have multi-touch). It doesn’t [...]

Sony Rolly

The Sony Rolly is perhaps best described as a break-dancing MP3-player. Simply fill the egg-shaped curio’s 2GB of storage with MP3s or AACs (ideally with something upbeat for maximal effect), turn it on and watch how it proceeds to roll, pitch and spin on the spot in time to the rhythm.

A Hippy’s Dreamcar – Verdier’s Solar Powered Camper

Monday, November 17, 2008

What with gas prices being as high as they were this summer, we didn’t go on as many road trips as we would have liked to. If we had a camper like the Verdier Solar Powered Camper, we definitely would have embarked upon more road trips to beautiful National Parks and done it in eco-style. [...]

What My Kitchen Needs: Elica Legend

Ever wondered what 10 grand’s worth of air-sucking muscle looks like? According to Elica, something a little like this, the quite magnificent Legend. Fashioned from the highest quality stainless steel and polished to a rare sheen, this unique appliance is as much a work of art as it is an important kitchen tool, but with [...]

Want peace-of-mind reliability, gotta-have-it looks, the spectacular performance of a LeMans-winning chassis, and a 100,000 mile GM warranty? The Anteros from n2a Motors, in Santa Ana, California looks like a million buck Italian classic from the 60’s but without the high-strung Italian temperament. Beneath its sexy carbon fiber composite coackwork lurks a brand new C6 [...]

Do you long for the days of carrying around a giant sound system on your shoulders? This watch brings back fond boombox memories without the risk of back injury. Flüd’s Boombox watch looks like a tiny version of the “portable” stereos of days gone by. Keeping with the retro theme, the watch features a truly [...]

Martin Jetpack – Finally, A Reliable Jetpack!

Sunday, November 16, 2008

0 Comments

Once the mere dream of a madman, the concept of the jetpack really first took off when Sean Connery was hovering around with one in the movie Thunderball back in 1965. Since then however, other than some lacklustre performances at various Super Bowls, the personal jetpack that we all thought was just around the corner [...]

What is this? A Time Machine?

Sunday, November 16, 2008

0 Comments

Contrary to appearances, this rather scary-looking aluminum and steel contraption (designed by one Bas van Leeuwen for Dutch design studio StudioBloomm and christened the Clock Delay) is intended to serve a strictly benign purpose, namely that of measuring time. How? upon its three cogwheels, labeled hours, minutes and seconds, you’ll notice a series of numbers [...]
