Geek Specials – The Cool Gadget Guide

At the Mobile World Congress meeting, LG vowed to launch Windows mobile phones which would be compatible with a new 3D interface. Such is the vision of this company. However, it has succeeded in playing the role of a pied piper by driving almost all the gizmo freaks towards it by launching its latest sensation the LG KP500 Cookie. It boasts a highly innate Active Flash user interface with a strong feedback. The vivid widget icons present on its 3 inches display make it simple to use. It is compatible with QWERTY keyboard that slides into view when it is held horizontally and its auto rotating display shifts images or documents for enhanced viewing.

Communicating with a mobile phone has always been a fun activity, as the user can personalise the Cookie\’s interface by placing their favourite icon applications such as MP3 player, FM radio, calender and clock in any order they wish. It allows instant access to our friends phones in quick and simple manner, as this widget allows for photos to be attached to a friend\’s contact details, in order to execute fast touch speed dialing. This mobile phone has automatic synchronization with Windows Media Player, so managing and listening to favourite music files is quick and easy. For a mutual gaming experience, the LG KP500 Cookie has a gamut of motion sensor games which respond to the player shifting, flipping and moving the handset. An artfully camouflaged stylish pen, slides in and out for users, who wish to use handwriting recognition for writing E-mails, texts and editing photos.

Digital photo frames have greatly improved our ability to display digital pictures in our living spaces. These LCD display devices are slowly replacing traditional frames and making it easier to show off digital pictures. As the quality of display screens improves, more usability features are added, and prices drop digital picture frames will only increase in popularity, just as flat screen LCD and HDTVs slowly replaced traditional CRT ones. There’s too much digital media in the form of photographs stuck on computers on memory devices waiting to be freed, and digital frames are an affordable and fast way to do so.

If you own a digital frame, there a good chance you received it as a gift. Digital frames have many of the characteristics people look for in a great gift: “newness” (likely something you don’t already own), widely usable by most anyone (just own a digital camera), practical, and affordable. Affordability is a relative term – you can find digital frame gifts for less than $30, or very high end digital photo frames for over $200. So if someone wanted to buy you something that is new, special, usable, and in the right price range, the gift of a digital photo frame would have been a very good choice.
