Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

Hands feeling a little cold? How about warming them up a little with a USB mouse? Oh ya, this is the best solution out there, besides wearing gloves, for keeping your digits warm while banging away at your keys. There is a heat switch that can be turned on and off as needed. The USB Warmer Mouse comes in red, white, black, and yellow, and retails for $23 US.

Do you want to spice up your iPod a little bit? After all, its always attached at your hip, and a little bling can go a long way. Griffin has just let out the details on “reflect”, chrome seamless mirrored cases for iPods. Then the iPod is off, the face display is hidden. But when turned on, shines nicely through the chrome encasement.

The cases are available in sizes for 2nd generation iPod nano and iPod video (with 2 separate backs for the 30GB and 60/80GB sizes). Prices start at $24.99 US.

Mobile Feeds and Modules with Netvibes

Monday, February 26th, 2007

Pulling down the most important up to date [or up to the second] is extremely important for certain individuals. Staying at the top of their game, and a top of the current news feeds helps them gain an extreme competitive advantage.

For some time now, I have been searching out the best possible way to manage RSS feeds on mobile devices so I can stay in tune with industry related news the second it drops. Netvibes has recently launched a new mobile service. This new service allows users pull in Netvibes feeds to their mobile devices. Netvibes is a custom Ajax start page that allows you to pull in all important RSS feeds and modules displaying them in one easy to read location in a browser window.

Start the service rolling by logging into your Netvibes account and starting a new “Mobile” tab, dropping in your desired RSS feeds and modules that you would like access to from your mobile device. Choose for notes, to dos, gmail, calendars, weather, and many different types of image and web searches. From your mobile device access http://m.netvibes.com from a browser, this will display your feeds in a plain text format all in one location. No more extensive data usage, or time wasted from visiting multiple locations. The information is displayed in a clean text format that is easy to read, and refresh on your mobile. The service worked so excellent on my Blackberry device when I tested it, that I will continue to use it to receive important information while on the go.

People have been drooling at the idea of a proper new Blackberry to replace the 8700 for quite a while now. Spy shots were flown around online… Then the Blackberry 8800 was announced. So far there have been a lot of press pictures, but what about videos? Check this out, TechFresh has a video of the 8800 in action, complete with 320×240 TFT display, 1.3 Megapixel camera, microsSD card, and 64 MB of internal memory.
