Are you looking to bring home a new smartphone anytime soon? Well, if you happen to be a fan of BlackBerrys, then Alltel Wireless might be a cellphone service provider that you could consider as they’re offering the BlackBerry Curve 8530 smartphone at this moment. What is so different about the BlackBerry Curve 8530? Well, this is the latest addition to the BlackBerry Curve line, where it is touted to be an incredibly approachable smartphone. As with any other self-respecting BlackBerry, the Curve 8530 also joins the rank of its brethren by offering easy mobile access to email, instant messaging support (IM, SMS, MMS) as well as compatibility with popular social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace.

You will find that the Curve 8530 comes with a highly tactile full-QWERTY keyboard that is suitable for comfortable, accurate typing – regardless of whether it is text messages or emails. Apart from that, the device also features rich multimedia capabilities alongside support for music, games and other mobile applications. The inclusion of Wi-Fi connectivity on the smartphone is also a no-brainer, as you can now choose from hooking up to the Internet using Wi-Fi or Alltel's 3G wireless network. With a Wi-Fi connection, you can carry on talking on the phone while receiving email, text messages and even browse the Internet – as long as the speakerphone is turned on, of course.

Other hardware specifications include a trackpad, dedicated media keys, built-in GPS with BlackBerry Maps and geo-tagging functionality, Stereo Bluetooth connectivity, HTML web browsing capability, 256MB of internal memory, a 2-megapixel camera with digital zoom and video recording as well as a microSDHC memory card slot that allows you to further augment the amount of storage space. It retails for $39.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate as long as you settle for a 1-year service contract to go along with a Smart Choice Pack.

Lockheed Martin and its new new IronClad USB drive

Posted: 23 Jan 2010 06:50 AM PST

ironcladLockheed Martin is more often for its role in the nation’s defense capabilities, but this time round they are offering something that will offer a semblance of protection for your much needed data – and it comes in the form of the new IronClad USB drive. Basically, the IronClad crams in your notebook’s hard drive alongside its entire operating system, software applications and files onto a single device – which is a secure USB flash drive in essence. In layman’s terms, what you get here is deemed to be a 100% secure “PC on a stick” setup. Folks who are constantly on-the-go are able to plug in the USB flash drive into virtually any computer or notebook regardless of your geographical location, and you will be able to gain instant, secure access to your own personal desktop and files.

The IronClad technology will power the operating system straight off of the USB flash drive, which translates to the fact that your files will never touch the hard drive of the borrowed computer, helping ensure security and privacy remain at the top of the agenda, while making sure that your device won’t leave a single trace that it was ever plugged in. The IronClad device is also fully encrypted, delivering hardware-level protection even against today’s most insidious malware threats such as nearly undetectable rootkits. The idea of toting your precious data on a secure device the size of a chewing gum stick in your pocket is definitely comforting, especially if you’re involved in a position that deals with sensitive information.

Individual IronClad drives will come with at least 8GB of 256-bit encrypted storage, where it is encased in a rugged, water- and shock-resistant metal case. Within, you will find custom Lockheed Martin technology that lets you run your whole desktop straight off the USB flash drive, while its integrated advanced virus protection allows you to plug in any shared or public computer without losing any sleep at night. All IronClad drives also double up as a node on a centrally-managed network, and this allows IT organizations to keep a close eye on each drive, while maintaining a tight rein on what are the permissible applications that can be installed on the drive itself.

Gameboy gets a steampunk makeover

Posted: 22 Jan 2010 02:24 PM PST

steampunk_gameboy

If you were ever considering attempting to steampunk something, this would be a great one to start on.  As far as steampunking goes this one is actually affordable and a bit more simple than it initially appears.  Some mods go above and beyond anything the average person could ever pull off, but this one might not be so bad to attempt on an old Gameboy that’s still alive and kicking.

The total project took the creator only the better part of a week to pull off.  Of course they don’t say how many hours they put into this on a daily basis, so it might end up taking you a little more than a week if you can’t dedicate a lot of daily time.  Despite all of the fancy gears it still uses all of the normal buttons, they just happen to be spray painted as well as the rest of the body.  Then extra gears were added in to give it that steampunk look.  They also threw in a complete pro-sound audio mod as well as putting in an orange LED light.  For those of you not up to the last two portions of the mod, you could just stick to making your Gameboy look pretty.
