10 Daily Things

A lot of technology goes into making your cellphone work. So you would think that we would be more understanding of dropped calls and garbled conversations. Nope. Nothing gets geeks into a seething tech frenzy like poor cellphone reception… and it doesn’t help that we couldn’t resist the glossy black smoothness of the iPhone and AT&T sucks for cellphone service. Sad.

Well quit staring at your one-bar-worth of signal strength and pick up this handy Cellphone Signal Extender for your home or office. Simply mount the included antenna near a window and run the coax cable to the base booster unit. You get 2500 square feet of prime signal area (enough to cover 2-3 rooms on two different floors). You can go from 1 bar… to 5 bars if you have some signal (at least one bar). You can’t extend what’s not there… right?

The Extender is available from ThinkGreek for $250 for the single band model, up to $350 for the dual band model.

Yes, this is something new and useful. A watch with integrated cellphone by Van Der Led.

The MW2 is the succesor of MW1 and is a quad-band GSM watch with itty bitty 1.3-inch, 260k color touchscreen display, dual stereo Bluetooth, up to 240-hours of standby or 300-minutes talk, and 1GB of storage for a few of your MP3 or MP4 files. Also, has Java support, build in speaker (for handfree talking), micro SD support, call vibration, FM radio, USB interface and is simlock free, meaning that works in all countries in the world, with all providers.

The watch will be in stock on Monday 14 April, 2008 by Van Der Led’s website and is priced 300 EUR (about $475).

The European Commision on Monday, April 7, cleared the way for airlines to introduce technology that would allow passengers to use their mobile phones in mid-air, but leading carriers in Germany said they would not be offering the service. The aim of the EU is to create a pan-European framework for mobile communications on aircraft, so passengers can make and receive calls, text messages and use e-mail with their own cell phones.

Calls will still be banned during take-off and landing and allowed only once a plane reached 3,000 meters in altitude.
