T-Mobile Dash Review

If you loved your Sidekick, then T-Mobile has a new sleek phone to meet your needs. The T-Mobile Dash was designed to be appealing to the people who loved the Sidekick. This phone has been rubberized, rounded and better fit for being placed in your pocket. This phone works great for emailing and has Wi-Fi capabilities; you can also view documents with the office software. The phone doesn’t let you edit documents. The keyboard has tiny buttons that can make it hard to type on if you are not used to them.

There is a lot of entertainment software available on the T-Mobile Dash. There is a media player and a microSD expansion slot. This will allow you to add music from your computer to your phone via this expansion slot with the purchase of an external memory card. The battery, when tested in the lab, will last for 10 hours. Calls can be heard loud and clear. There is no on-screen dial pad so you are unable to dial the digits by their letter alternatives. Even with this downfall, this phone is a strong contender with all the PDAs on the market.

Fuji Gets Serious About Image Quality With the FinePix F200EXR

Compact digital cameras have been treated rather poorly by camera manufacturers over the past few years by stuffing endless features into them with marketing being the forefront of concerns. These "features" have lead to a ridiculous number of pixels on a tiny sensor, which results in very grainy images for users. Fuji has just announced a potential powerhouse of a compact digital camera. The F200EXR offers a 12 megapixel sensor that operates in a number of image capture modes. Normally, I would scoff at a 12 megapixel sensor as too much for such a small sensor; however, Fuji's shooting options may make this camera work those pixels more effectively. The key to this camera's potential lies in the 3 modes in which the image sensor operates, which Fuji described in its press release as follows:

Fine Capture Mode (High Resolution) , which deploys all twelve million pixels, and is designed to offer the finest detail of intricate subjects when light is full and even; Pixel Fusion Mode (High Sensitivity and Low Noise) , which caps two adjacent pixels together to produce six million large photodiodes, which are big enough to absorb light in the darkest of conditions, to produce low-light shots of extraordinary quality with minimal noise and grain; and Dual Capture (Wide Dynamic Range), which captures different exposures with two sets of six million pixels, which, when combined, gives an excellent level of detail in highlights and low lights that would otherwise be lost.

While there is nothing truly fancy about the Fine Capture Mode, the Pixel Fusion Mode and the Dual Capture could give consumers what they need in a compact camera. We'll know more once this camera hits the market and real world sample images make their way online from the hands of users. It just might be the next big thing.

LG Breathalyzer Cell Phone (LG LP4100)

Drinking and cell phones usually don’t go very well together. Often people get drunk and end up making calls that they later regret. This has been happening since cell phones became an integral part of our culture. Well there is a new cell phone put out by LG that can stop the drunken calls to certain people from happening. The LG LP4100, or otherwise known as the LG Breathalyzer cell phone, is the latest creation to come from LG.

The LG LP4100 allows you to block certain numbers from being dialed if your blood-alcohol level is greater than 0.08. It will prevent the embarrassment of having to see your boss the day after you accidentally “drunk dialed.” It can also prevent you from calling an ex and making a fool of yourself. This is thanks to the anti-drunk dialing feature that has been installed into the phone. This phone has shown that it can be very popular and has already sold 200,000 phones in Korea to date. This is the perfect phone for anyone who has made that great mistake of getting drunk and dialing someone that they regretted in the morning.
