I suppose these latest in geeky fashion don’t necessary have to be for girls, you can wear them as well if you’re a man if you’re used to wearing earrings! Though these will cost you as much as $19 USD a pair, BlackBerry fans will love to get their hands on a pair of these. Just one thing though (my advice), if you’re wearing these, try not to put your BlackBerry phone next to your ear at the same time, that would not look so fashsionable, just extremely geeky…
This is the world’s first of its kind, everything in this flash drive as pictured is not what you would find from the one you have in your pocket right now. This corn flash drive is actually made from polylactide plastic that is based from corn, hence I suppose the design! With very limited details availabe at the moment, all we know is that the Hong Kong based company, Hoshino has been able to produce this entire drive even with its component biodegradable. There is one catch though, because of its specially made material, it’s biodegradable function is limited, which means you don’t just chuck it out into the bin, it needs to be sent to a recycling centre, but who knows maybe even the plastic bottles recycling centre can deal with it? I’m sure we’ll hear more about this eco-friendly piece of gadget very soon.
Lego is probably one of the things that we find most enjoyable to talk about here on this blog, unfortunately its not easy to build every from Lego. Luke Andersen, a computer science major student from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, decided that he wanted to have something special for a PC, something with a wow geeky factor. So he made up his mind and first created the plans for his PC via a simple CAD program. Then he bought 1,238 Lego pieces (for a total of $140) to assemble his masterpiece as pictured, his design includes a removable panel which is pretty clever because he’ll always be backed up just in case he needed an upgrade. Another clever thing about using Lego to build his PC tower is that he can probably design places where he could easily take chunks of Lego out in the situation that the PC overheated.
And if he didn’t like the design, he could always smash it and rebuild a different design, that’s $140 well spent! Continue reading »

Colorware is at it again, this time the iPhone 3G. Colorware are the people who originally brought us the first revolution against Steve Jobs’ boring iPhone colour, these guys wanted to show us that we could too have some fun and bring on our iPhones customisable colours. As well as iPhones, Colorware have expanded their quality service and expertise towards other gadgets and smartphones like the Blackberrys, Sidekick and also game consoles like the Wii, PSP, PS3 and XBox 360. They have been known to help users create colours that are unique to their taste, to me I think the best part of it all is the design process using their online studio that they offer on their site, its quite fun!
However, all the fun does come at a hefty price. For the iPhone 3G in question for example, you’re looking at $150 USD for the back, $20 for the frame, another $20 for the button, $10 for the SIM card tray and $10 for the earbuds. If you really want your whole set of iPhone to be special, you can also customise your iPhone dock at a cost of $20. So in total the maximum you’re looking at is about $230 USD!

I was a bit caught up yesterday and didn’t realise I left this out until now. Basically the Winglet is Toyota’s version of the Segway, though Toyota stressed that it’s just a prototype at the moment, you can tell in the video where Toyota is heading with it. Of course, they wouldn’t call it a ‘Segway-like machine’, Toyota calls it a personal transport assistance robot.
At the recent news conference in which the Winglet was revealed, Takeshi Uchiyamada said, “It is so compact that everyone can bring it anywhere and it is easy to use” as the Executive Vice President rode a Winglet onto the stage at the conference in Tokyo.
At the moment here is what we know, the Winglet was designed for better convenience, mainly targetting the elderly, it’s been designed to help people ‘shop around’, for example in malls. Toyota however has no current plans to sell it in the market. They are for now planning to test it out at airports and resorts to see the usability of the vehicle.The prototype showcased has a top speed of 3.7 miles per hour which is much lower than the top speed of Segway.
As you will know, the iPhone Dev Team have yet to produce a Pwnage tool that will be able to unlock the latest iPhone 3G, though you can jailbreak, you can’t unlock.
The latest unlock clip from Brando is probably the closest thing you can do at the moment to unlock your iPhone.
I’m not entirely sure how it works, but its been designed to says specifically on Brando’s site that it has been designed to unlock operator / SIM card locked Apple iPhone 3G phones. Its really easy to use, all you need to do is slide the attachment under your “normal” SIM card (the one that you wish to use).
Just released the i-Smartphone unlock clip costs $20.50 USD and has been claimed by Brando to also unlock various brands of GSM smartphones. Click here for more details…
