| | Now Firefox for Mobiles
Tuesday, October 07, 2008
How many of you have complained of slow speeds and so many other flaws of web browsing on mobile phones? Well, most of us. But this scenario could change with the entrance of Firefox Mozilla into the mobile web browsing market. Mozilla CEO John Lilly in an interview with Linux Insider revealed that they are going to launch the alpha version in just a few weeks. With the entry of Firefox, the most popular “alternative” browser for desktops, we can anticipate some major competition to Windows and Opera in mobile web browsing. “We want to make sure that the Web on mobile is more like the Web than what the mobile industry offers today, which is closed, separate networks and not a very good information-getting experience for the user. The first thing is to bring Firefox to mobile devices. We're working on that, and we'll see some alphas in a few weeks.” John Lilly on Linux Insider. | |
| Beer and USB
Tuesday, October 07, 2008
So far I have seen eco-friendly USB flash drives, USB drives that resemble food and loads of other bizarre USB gadgets, but my eyes got glued on to this one! This USB flash drive is filled with a few milliliters of an American beer! The concept has been designed for promotional uses as the tiny amount of beer isn't enough to you get your mind off work. Memory capacities range from 128MB to 8GB, and prices from US$8.84 each to US$40. Guys, keep it well down deep in your pocket as I can’t imagine how any girl would be impressed with you carrying one of these. This is bad taste geekiness although I must admit that I would like to see USB drives filled with Whisky, Vodka and Rum to suit everyone’s taste!

| iPod Clone with Camera
Tuesday, October 07, 2008
These days you pretty much expect any gadget to come with an inbuilt camera. Check out this iPod clone with a camera and 2GB of space. This portable media device is a clone of the iPod Nano 4G only it's designed by a Chinese manufacturer. It is rumoured to have a camera of 4 megapixels, a 2.4” QVGA display and a mini SD memory card slot. The one drawback is that it is available through wholesale orders only. I hope Apple will take this idea to their next design so that we don’t have to settle for a clone model to have a Nano type device with a camera. | |
