Do you really need a phone? – pretty shure you do, but do you need a 6inch-color-multitouch-wlan-mp3-gps-flybyitself-remote-lightsaber-iphone-device? You don’t really need that; all you need is the RX-80, the creditcard sized gsm phone by simvalley. It’s abled to make phone calls, write sms, and wake you up in the morning. That’s it, what do you need more? And by the way, it’s just overly cool to have a phone looking as minimalistic as a calculator – for only twenty bucks.

After having finished work on their ueber-cool Optimus Maximus keyboard, Art.Lebedev Studio has come up with this car navigation system with a round touchscreen. I like the Concept, althougt I question the need for more dedicated navigation devices while every Phone has one.

Wer denkt dieser im Fruehjahr 2010 erhaetliche E-Reader von Plastic Logic sei innovativ, der soll sich mal das auf der Zunge zergehen lassen: Plastic Logic hat kuerzlich bestaetigt, dass die Entwicklung eines Nachfolgemodells bereits weit fortgeschritten sei, wobei das multicolor-EPaper die groesste Neuerung sei..

Logitech hat mit der neuen Squeezbox Radio und Squeezbox Touch ihre bereits hervorragende Squeezbox Linie erweitert. Die kleinen Boxen koennen vieles: neben dem streaming von diversen Quellen aus dem WLAN oder LAN, sind tausende von Internetradiostationen verfuegbar, Internetdienste wie Last.fm, Napster oder Deezer lassen sich empfangen und sogar direkt ansteuern, die Implementierung von Facebook erscheint da geradezu selbstverstaendlich.

Ach ja, das Radio haelt sechs Stunden ohne Stromanschluss durch und laed sich beim einstecken sofort wieder auf, der Poolparty steht ausser dem fehlenden Pool nichts im Wege!

go for it

“The Mission One represents a revolution in motorcycle and electric vehicle performance. Mission Motors’ advanced electric powertrain makes the Mission One the first electric sportbike to power wheelie at 70 mph. It powers the Mission One a top speed of 150 mph. And its proprietary battery technology gives riders the freedom to travel 150 miles on a single charge.”
