Personally I use my stuff as is. My daughter is the one that wants to buy all the little covers, skins and cases for her things. I thought about the personalization option when I bought her the iPad, but I figured she’d just cover it up with all her “bling.” I never really saw anything unique enough for me to want it… until now.

Does your tablet or Kindle need to stand out from the crowd? In a Flash has got it covered, literally.

Of course In a Flash Laser doesn’t just engrave electronics, although that’s what makes them really cool… they also engrave smartcovers and aluminum and leather cases as well as, wood marble and tile, not to mention custom flash drives, water bottles and Christmas ornaments.

Heck, if you can think of it, In a Flash Laser can probably make it your own. iPad etching uses 2 different lasers and shows up as white and grey shades with a cost of only $79.99 and this custom engraving has a turnaround time of only a few days!

Songful – for the Virtual Rockstar in all of Us

Posted: 21 Jun 2012 10:27 AM PDT

When I was growing up I always wanted to be the kid that could play guitar, I constantly ran around with a tennis racket (okay it was probably badminton racket, but saying tennis seemed a lot less less dorky) pretending to be a rockstar, I even made a half hearted attempt at taking some lessons. Unfortunately I never had whatever it is that it takes to even learn a few basic chords, so to this day, I still wish I could play music.

Well, a music playing apps developer, has partnered with Ultimate Guitar, the world’s largest online community of guitar enthusiasts and information, to release a new app called Songful, a virtual guitar, that gives it’s users the ability to play any of the thousands of songs that are on Ultimate-Guitar.com website, whether they can actually play guitar or not!

Based on instruMagic’s award-winning “ZAP Guitar” technology, Songful creates a guitar-playing experience that is equally engaging for both musicians and non-musicians alike, all without an actual guitar. Combining Ultimate Guitar’s huge database of licensed chords and lyrics, with instruMagic’s groundbreaking technology, they have created an awesome app for all of us who always wanted to play, and even real guitar players can take their ‘songful’ guitar with them anywhere their iPad can go.

Songful is an app for anyone who always wanted to play music.The new Songful app is scheduled to launch on iPhone and iPad this August. Check it out at www.instru-magic.com. Time to empty out the garage and start that all girl band…  anyone sing?

This time around, we shall concentrate on what the flash drive department has in store for us – in the form of the Extreme USB 3.0 flash drive. Obviously, the name itself gives the game away, where it will work best with a USB 3.0 port, although you can be sure that it will also be able to work with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports.

Just how fast is the USB 3.0 SanDisk Extreme USB flash drive? We are talking about data transfer speeds of up to 190MB/s, where it translates to a 3GB file being transferred in just 20 seconds, while a 40GB file takes a mere 4 minutes.

DIY cellphone might be the future

Posted: 21 Jun 2012 07:00 AM PDT

Do you find it interesting at how things have changed over the years? First we have the industrial revolution, where machine comes to the aid of men – not to mention it being able to make life a whole lot more efficient. Machines, however, were big and bulky originally, but over the years, engineering advancements and sound design principles were put in place, resulting in far more aesthetically pleasing machines that we see in the market these days. The same goes for devices as well, such as smartphones and tablets that do make considerable progress in the name of design advancement without sacrificing on practicality.

Well, if you are rather sick and tired of keeping up in the rat race of gadgets and gizmos, here is some food for thought. Have you ever wondered just how it would be like if you never have to keep up with the latest phone models any more? Right now, the Samsung Galaxy S3 is the hottest Android smartphone on the market, although Foxconn claims that the next generation iPhone is going to blow the Galaxy S3 right out of the water. I wonder just how true that its, but it is besides the point. You might want to make a regressive step, so to speak, with this DIY cellphone kit.

A research team over at MIT has come up with open-source designs for the phone's circuit board and case, where it is hoped to encourage a proliferation of personalized and diverse mobile phones in the market. We are not talking about a modern day smartphone, but rather, a basic communications device. After all, this DIY cellphone kit is freed from the constraints of mass production, allowing whoever picks it up to be able to explore diverse materials, shapes, and functions.

The original prototype will merge a custom electronic circuit board with a laser-cut plywood and veneer enclosure. It will not play nice with CDMA networks though, as the phone will only be able to accept a standard SIM card and will work with just about any GSM provider. Cellular connectivity will be offered via the SM5100B GSM Module, where it is available from SparkFun Electronics. The display is nothing much to shout about, where it is a mere 1.8″ color TFT display at 160 × 128 pixels, while there are also flexures in the veneer that pave the way for one to press the buttons below. At this point in time, the software will be able to support voice calls, although there is a chance of seeing SMS and other functionalities thrown into the mix later on.
