SoundID 300 Bluetooth headset – THE most comfortable headset

No matter how small or lightweight your Bluetooth headset might be, there’s a limit to just how long you can wear it on your ear before becoming uncomfortable. The problem lies in the ear-plug design. That little piece of awkwardly-shaped plastic squeezed inside your ear canal isn’t going to sit there long-term without some irritation kicking in. But, what if an ear doctor designed the ear-plug for maximum comfort? Well, then you’d have the SoundID 300 Bluetooth headset.  Designed by an ear doctor at Stanford University (along with a team of acoustics experts and engineers), the SoundID 300 Bluetooth headset sets out to be THE most comfortable Bluetooth headset on market.

With telcos offering internet and television service and cable TV providers getting into the home-phone and internet service game, the lines between different wired and wireless networks will become more muddled. Case in point, sixth-largest US cable provider Cox Communications is preparing to launch their very own wireless network.

Zeemote JS1 wireless controller works with Android!

We know Zeemote’s JS1 wireless controller can sing along an array of Nokia (NYSE: NOK) and Sony Ericsson (NYSE: SNE) phones, and also BlackBerrys. Now we have it working with Android, too. As you’re about to see, everything looks perfect on the demo video bellow, although the game played doesn’t look that entertaining at all — quite the contrary, I might add. However, it’s a good thing to see Zeemote conquering yet another platform and in the near future I’ve no doubts we’ll see an array of Zeemote-enabled titles hitting the Android Market. Read more

Game Boy iPhone Case Most Brilliant Thing Since Invention of the Wheel

Yes, yes, and YES! Anyone that has been reading my posts for the past while here at IntoMobile will know that I love the old school games. I started out with the classic Commodore 64 and worked my way through Atari systems, the original NES… Oh, and how could I forget the ColecoVision. Classic.

Novatel bringing CDMA MiFi to Verizon as MiFi 2200

The Novatel MiFi Portable Intelligent HotSpot has been on our radar (and on our wishlist) since early 2009. We’re big fans of 3G routers around these parts, and Novatel’s completely wire-free MiFi 3G router takes top-billing as a portable hotspot.

You-powered cellphones made possible with piezoelectric nanowires!

The trick thing about peizoelectric materials is that they can generate electrical currents through simple mechanical stresses – they essentially convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. The technology has great potential for future energy-generation solutions, including future cellphones powered by your body! New research breakthroughs in nanowire technology has allowed scientists to harness the energy of low-frequency vibrations (like a heart beat or the rise and fall of your chest as you breathe) using zinc oxide nanowires.
