Cricket offers new Cricket EC1705 modem from Huawei

Posted: 14 Aug 2010 02:56 PM PDT

It seems that we cannot live without an Internet connection these days, and just about any new gadget that is released will have some sort of connectivity option to the Internet, be it 3G, 4G, WiMAX or Wi-Fi. Cricket Communications, a leading provider of innovative and value-driven wireless services and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Leap Wireless International, Inc., has recently announced that consumers who are interested will be able to pick up the spanking new Cricket EC1705 modem that hails from Huawei. It tips the scales at under an ounce, where this new compact device will be able to deliver connection ease for just about any laptop or desktop computer user who is currently a subscriber to Cricket's all 3G network.

From this week onwards, Cricket will deliver the EC1705 device for $64.99. That amount is not all about hardware thought, as it will be paired with a variety of unlimited, all-inclusive broadband service plan options. When launched, the device will be available in Cricket branded retail stores and dealers in select cities including Chicago, Denver, St. Louis, Houston, Phoenix, San Diego, San Antonio, South Texas, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Baltimore, and Pittsburgh and www.mycricket.com, as well as being slated to arrive in all Cricket retail outlets in due time. This sleek-looking modem will play nice with the following Windows versions – Windows 2000, XP, Vista and 7, not to mention Mac OS X10.4.11 to 10.6.3 (both 32 and 64 bit) as well. Interestingly enough, the EC1705 is no ordinary modem as it will be accompanied by 32MB of hard drive space and 128MB of memory.

Depending on your daily surfing needs as well as budget, you can choose from a plan that hails anywhere from $40 to $60 per month, where all of them will be able to offer download speeds of up to 1.4 Mbps. Not only that, customers will be receiving the newly announced "true rate" plans, which will let you enjoy a flat-rate monthly service charge with taxes included, sans applicable local sales tax of course. Just make sure your usage level does not exceed 7.5GB monthly, but the average person will rarely exceed that anyways.

MotionTouch announces the complete iPhone accessory pack known as Mi-Life

Posted: 14 Aug 2010 02:46 PM PDT

iPhone owners will know that their smartphone is one device which is a hot commodity among third party accessory manufacturers. After all, being one of the hottest selling smartphones in the market along with its highly desirable design has caused many people to pick up protective cases of all shapes and sizes, not to mention design to make sure their iPhone remains pristine at all times. MotionTouch joins in on the game but ups the ante with their complete iPhone accessory pack known as Mi-Life. Mi-Life will bring together both the Mi-Power battery sleeve and Mi-Stylus, which we will learn more about it in the extended post.

First of all, we have the Mi-Power, a ground-breaking, eco-friendly iPhone battery sleeve. This means you no longer need to miss another important call, since it is actually a convenient spare battery that is ready to provide additional juice whenever the need arises. It can be charged from a USB port directly, or you can always take the greener route by taking advantage of its solar panel. The Mi-Power sleeve is capable of providing up to 1.5 hours more talk time for you , giving you protection against knocks and drops at the same time.

As for the Mi-Stylus this, precise, lightweight stylus allows you to use it on the iPhone without any problems whatsoever, alongside other touch sensitive products from Apple like the iPad. It is made out of a special composite rubber, where the Mi-Stylus’ slanted nib will imitate the electrical characteristics of the human finger, delivering a level of touch screen response which cannot be found in a traditional rigid-tipped stylus. Not only that, the edge of the nib can be used for selecting smaller on-screen items, which is something that a finger cannot do easily in select circumstances. With the Mi-Stylus in action, it will keep your phone’s display clean and smudge-free. The Mi-Life will retail for $25, while an individual Mi-Power sleeve will go for $20 with the Mi-Stylus costing another $10.50.

Samsung offers world’s largest 3D LED HDTV in the world

Posted: 14 Aug 2010 10:59 AM PDT

While 3D HDTVs were introduced back at CES earlier this year across the entire board of manufacturers, they have yet to catch on in a big way. After all, how many living rooms of friends whom you know have a 3D LED HDTV? That has not stopped various manufacturers from continue to churn out additional models, and Samsung leads the way with their latest 65-inch monster known as the Samsung UN65C8000. This model is the largest Full HD 3D LED TV available in the market for homes worldwide today, where it will come with Samsung's built-in 3D processor, real 240Hz refresh rate technology, dynamic 8,000,000:1 contrast ratio and proprietary Precision Dimming technology. You will find it more than able to deliver unsurpassed picture quality and an immersive 3D experience without compromising on your living room’s aesthetics thanks to its ultra-slim design. More on the Samsung UN65C8000 is available after the jump.

This model will also be able to hook up to the Internet, thanks to its WiFi-ready mode as well as ability to support Skype thanks to Samsung Apps. Basically, this translates to the Samsung UN65C8000 ending up as a really, really large display that brings an almost life-like quality to video calls. Too bad the technology isn’t there for 3D video calling just yet, but keep your fingers crossed that such a feature will be made available to end users like you an I sometime down the road. Not only that, you are able to access a full range of apps including Hulu Plus and ESPN Next Level through Samsung Apps at your convenience.

It is expected that the Samsung UN65C8000 will retail for $5,999.99 as it hits the market this month, but just in case that does not really suit your budget in these economically trying times, Samsung has also made sure its 2010 Plasma HDTV line-up is expanded with a trio of new 3D-enabled plasma TVs, namely the PN58C680, the PN50C680 and the PN50C490 which will retail for $2,299.99, $1,599.99 and $1,099.99, respectively.

Lomo Panoramic 360° Camera

Posted: 13 Aug 2010 06:20 PM PDT

Take a Lomo camera and have it shoot at all angles around you and what do you get? Why, the Lomo Panoramic 360° Camera, of course! This £99.99 addition to your shutterbug collection will put a whole new perspective on things, and despite using 35mm film and a manual rubber band drive, it is one unique camera that is capable of shooting truly panoramic shots of the world around you. All you need to do is take hold of the handle, tug the ripcord and check out the Lomo as it spins on its own axis, shootnig everything all round in sight, making the final product four times longer compared to the standard landscape snap. Perfect for those who want to expand upon their photography skills, and you can also shoot 180° images by only pulling the cord halfway. Since it uses traditional film, you’ll probably need to make more budget for all the amount of film involved, not to mention its processing.

LEGO TECHNIC Motorized Excavator

Posted: 13 Aug 2010 06:10 PM PDT

Love building stuff of your own? The LEGO TECHNIC Motorized Excavator should not only be able to satisfy you, but your child as well. Of course, for something as complex as this, we would not expect him or her to be that young, but rather, at least 12 years old and above. After all, making a $199.99 purchase decision is never going to be easy for anyone especially in this day and age. When completed, what you get would be a fully remote controlled excavator that features double remote controls tracks which are able to run back and forth, alongside an arm which can be raised and lowered, carrying a shovel to dig. The cabin also works like the real deal, spinning a cool 360 degrees. The entire set comes with 1,123 LEGO pieces, so make sure you have a decent sized container to store everything. For more bang for your buck, it can also be rebuilt into a Tracked Loader.
