So when Motorola gets around to launching the dual-mode GSM / CDMA Z6c slider, these are pretty much the high-style shots you’re going to see in publications. A little swankier and more refined than the harsh light offered by the FCC’s labs, eh? On behalf of world travelers everywhere, we await thee!
I’m not sure what the worlds obsession is with picturing things next to coins. I get that’s small when you use words like little, mini, tiny and micro… no visual necessary, but that’s just me. Anyway, here are two tiny toys that are just a bit bigger than a quarter, enjoy.
First up we have Jack from the Nightmare Before Christmas, now he’s not the only character this toy comes in but with the season so close he’s the featured toy right now. This Little Taps toy will sing and dance to songs from the show and should come across any other Little Taps they all interconnect and will sing and dance together. You can pick up Jack for just $14.99.
Next I offer you the ChoroQ Qsteer Mini R/C Racers. They come in mini version of the Nissan 350Z or the Mazda Rx-8 and also have some precision steering, which is amazing from such a tiny R/C. You’ll get a set of two with your $14.99 purchase so you and a friend/co-worker and create your own desktop racetrack to pass the hours.
Both of these items are available from ThinkGeek and either would make a great stocking stuffer in my opinion. However, for the price I’d stick with the R/C racers.
TAG Heuer, the watchmaker has signed an exclusive agreement with ModelLabs to create mobile phones. This will be the first communication device using the TAG Heuer brand name and will inherit the design characteristic of the Swiss watch brand. TAG Heuer plans to launch its TAG Heuer brand mobile phones in the second half of 2008. No pricing information at this moment.
I’ve said it before and I’ll probably say it again: Girls love miniature things. However, this is one mini set I’d stay away from when picking out something for your sweetie, unless your sweetie is me, cause I think these are great!
If you love weapons and Halo 3 just isn’t enough of a fix for you, you might stop buy ThinkGeek and pick up one or both of these miniature weapons sets. The bazooka sets are a 1/6th scale replicas of a Panzer Faust3, RPG-7, FIM-43, M20A1, and SA-18. Each set ($8.99) only lets you pick out two, so you may end up with doubles of one when you buy the complete series. Each bazooka comes with its own stand for maximum display-ability.
Maybe bazookas aren’t your thing, though. Maybe you’re more of an ancient samurai type of guy/girl. If so, worry not, there is also set for you. The samurai set include 15 different real metal weapons and battery powered lanterns. Each one is about 5’’ high which makes them the perfect size for arming your work area. These sets retail for just 7.99.
We recently saw a chain of news about a Korean man that was killed by an LG cellphone; after police investigation, it turns out that he was actually murdered by his friend that apparently also the first witness of the event. LG reaffirmed the public that its battery is safe and did not cause this tragedy. The media are quick in picking the incident’s story and putting LG phone battery as the main suspect. I guess bad news spread way faster than good news.
I take great precaution in making sure I’m never without something I need, or if I am without making sure I have a backup plan. For example, I have a spare set of keys my parents keep for me and when I know I’m having a short cash flow month, I stash a little in a secret place that I often forget about until I’m in desperate need of it.
The Hitch Vault takes those same concepts and brings them a little closer and more accessible. You put into your truck/SUV standard hitch receiver and voila, mini safe. It’s perfect for storing an extra set of keys, cash, credit cards or what-have-you. There’s a combination lock on it and unless you’re prone to forgetting numbers it’s a perfect solution for making sure your essentials are safe and handy.
If this device isn’t something you’re interested in, I bet you know someone who could really use one and it is the season for giving. You can purchase a Hitch Vault for $70 at Amazon.
We’ve been patiently waiting for a national US carrier to launch a version of HTC’s Libra for nearly a year, and by golly, it looks like it might finally happen (and not in the hideous green Verizon was showing back in the day, either). The UTStarcom-sourced XV5800 lies somewhere between the Vox and the S730; although it shares 3G functionality with the S730, it’s from the same vintage as the Vox (its GSM cousin) and has launched on a number of carriers. No word on a price or release date just yet, but it’d be a nice Festivus gift if we got ‘er before the end of the year, yeah?
Have you ever been in a situation where you had to a secret message visible only by ultra violet light and then after words needed get rid of the evidence, but there wasn’t a convenient way to fully destroy said evidence so you had to eat it instead? Me too, I hate it when that happens. Anyway, now there is a pen that can help all us out in those hard times.
The Ultra-Violet Pen and Light with Message Shredder is that pen. That’s right, there’s a shredder built into the pen, how handy! This pen is sure to fulfill all your secret/spy/covert/paper shredding needs, and it’s safe for ages 7 and up.
You can get it for about £5 from the Spycatcher of Knightsbridge website. Be careful purchasing this item, they seem to be in the business of catching spies by selling spy devices. Crafty devils!

In a recent chat with clients, Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster did a little name dropping regarding Google’s Open Handset Alliance, casually mentioning in passing that Verizon “is a member.” Hold up there, chief; last time we checked, that isn’t the case. Among US national carriers, only T-Mobile and Sprint have publicly thrown their hats into the Android ring, so we’re not sure whether Mr. Munster knows something we don’t (which is entirely possible) or whether he’s just a little confused. For what it’s worth, we can understand why he’d be confused in light of Verizon’s recent commitment to open its airwaves to all comers — the initiative appears to share much of the same spirit as the OHA’s charter, after all — but by the same token, Google’s intention to snap up 700MHz bandwidth would seemingly pit the two juggernauts against one another. We’ll have to wait and see whether Big Red’s name magically appears on the Alliance’s member list, but if it does, the pressure’s gonna get pretty high on AT&T to cave, eh?
