An iPhone Alternative For $300?!!

To enjoy this site as intended simply press F11. Pressing F11 again will return to normal.






CATEGORY: MOBILE LIFESTYLE

Wired.com writes about a $300 phone that has the potential to be an "iphone Killer" but for a lot less bling. The caveat? The first generation release of the Neo 1973 GTA01 (based on a version of Linux called "OpenMoko") is being sold as sort of a base system - one that will primarily be useful for developers to write device new device drivers, applications, and an updated GUI. Once those things are realized they will release the second generation phone for $450, presumably with slew of updated features that will elevate the Neo 1973 GTA02 into the position of serious iPhone alternative. Oh, and I almost forgot... the Neo 1973 is not locked to a particluar network so you'll have the freedom to pick whichever carrier you like. Nice move!

Aptustech.com put together a nice comparison chart of the iPhone and Neo 1973 GTA01.

FunctionsiPhoneNeo 1973
CPUARM11 620MHzARM9 266MHz
RAM128MB128MB
FLASH4 or 8 GB64MB
Storage extensionNomicroSD
Resolution320x480640x480

GeekportIpod Like (audio+RS232)I2C, SPI, RS232, JTAG
AccelerometerYesNo (Yes in next revision)


No doubt the hardware of the iPhone is more advanced, but the next revision of the Neo 1973 should bring improvements:

  • 802.11 b/g WiFi
  • Samsung 2442 SoC (400MHz and Camera interface)
  • SMedia 3362 Graphics Accelerator
  • 2 3D Accelerometers
  • 256MB Flash

Do you think these "all in one" devices are the way to go, or would you rather own the "best of breed" phone, media player, camera, etc.? Let us all know by clicking "comments" below.

Oboe - Free Unlimited Music Storage!

To enjoy this site as intended simply press F11. Pressing F11 again will return to normal.






CATEGORY: MUSIC

Just got this in my e-mail - thought I'd share it with you:

"Hello!

Congratulations! Your 1 GB Oboe music locker has been upgraded to UNLIMITED STORAGE.

Yes, we said unlimited storage for all of your music - FREE! (no catch, no credit card, completely free) Sync, stream, and listen to your music anywhere in the world, on any computer or web-enabled device. If you don't already have Oboe Sync installed, you can start syncing your music today!

Give a gift to your music loving friends -- forward them the priority code below! They'll get an express upgrade to free, unlimited storage when they sign up with the code. Send it to as many people as you'd like - it will only be activated for the first 3 folks that use it.

Cheers!
--The MP3tunes Team"


Well how cool is that? I'll stick it up here for the first three people to clicky clicky. No complaints allowed if you get beat to the punch. BTW, if you don't know what MP3 Tunes is, you can click here to find out. It's a really cool service! I've started uploading bunches of songs while I sleep in hopes of eventually having my whole collection on the web.

If the whole MP3tunes & Oboe thing is confusing, it's actually really simple. Oboe is just a bunch of hard drive space on the web set aside for your music. MP3tunes is the web-based software application (Web 2.0) that is the actual player, like Windows Media Player or iTunes, that plays the songs you store with Oboe. Now go see if you are one of the three to get the unlimited size music locker!

Be sure to use Priority Code 189d17c1d857c8ad when you sign up to see if you get the free locker!


Your Voice:
1. Where do you listen to most of your music? Car? Computer? Portable?
2. Does the idea of having all your music on the web for access anywhere sound appealing?

The Easy Glider - a Segway Killer?



Ooohhhhhhhhhhh man, do I want one of these! The videos say it all (in German, anyway). I'd take an Easy Glider over a Segway any day! AND I'd use the money I'd save to buy me... well... MORE EASYGLIDERS!!! (Price of a Segway=$4,000 ... price of an Easy Glider=$1,800!)



Today's question: Would you ride it like the chick and use that platform (they call it a "Chariot") or like the dude?

Buy Yerself a Badonkadonk!!!

Imagine walking down the street on a nice summer day. As you get closer to the main strip in town you hear the excitement. "Get yer picture taken!" "Peanuts... Popcorn!" "Who wants to buy a Badonkadonk!!!?? .... " huh? What did that guy just say?? Ba-donkey-what? Going back, you see him peddling a vehicle straight from a Star Wars-esque movie. Oh my God! "How much is that thing!?" "Twenty grand", comes the confident reply. Sticker shock gives you a firm whack across the face, then, as you have time to process the situation, you start thinking that it's not that unreasonable of a price. What other cars can you buy for $20,000? A 5-year old minivan? Subaru? Ford? No way, dude! Ima be drivin' a Badonkadonk!!!

Just promise me one thing: if you buy this thing, make sure you do it from here. A little kickback to the guy who told you about it.

A Father's Day Gift on the Cheap!


For all of you out there with a father (if not, how'd you get here?!!), here's an awesomer idea-thingy on the fairly cheap that holds a high probability to please. What man can say he's never secretly, or not so secretly, dreamed of flying a real helicopter? Well, I'm a dad and I know I'd dig it, and your's probably would too. So check this out. A measly $30 to fulfill a secret dream of dad's that probably no one even knows about! If you're not sure if he'd like it just think

"Let's see:
tie...? helicopter.......
tie...?? helicopter.......
tie...??? helicopter.......
tie...???? ... HELICOPTER!!!!
................................... Duh!!!!!"

Now wasn't that easy?





Tell us what you'll be getting your dad for Father's Day, or what you got him already!!!

Get Perfect Sleep Every Night with Sleeptracker!


Could it be true? Is is possible to actually get the optimal amount of sleep for your unique needs night after night? The Sleeptracker watch thinks it is, and it offers us a solution at a price that's really a steal. That is if it can make good on it's promise to change a miserable sleeping pattern into a good one. The Sleeptracker watch is getting so much attention that those claims have had a chance to be tested out by over 20,000 individuals, as well as Time Magazine (who listed it as among the Most Amazing Inventions of 2005), the Dr. Phil Show, Good Morning America, among many others.

Waking up fully rested and ready to go is something that is hard to slap a price tag on, especially since some of us have a harder time than others in getting the satisfaction of waking wide-eyed and bushy tailed. Still, $149 sounds pretty reasonable considering the price of other alternatives to achieving that "It's gonna be a great day!" feeling.

The Sleeptracker watch includes a 30-day money back guarantee and a 1-year warranty.

Do you have a hard time falling asleep or waking up? How much would an easy solution to this problem be worth to you, if there were such thing? Click here to let us know.
