Touchscreen Cell Phone with Projector Looks Familiar




What happens if you take a Nokia phone and an iPhone, mix them together, and then top it off projector? Well, you would probably end up with this tri-band smartphone.

Tri band multimedia cellphone with interactive touchscreen, WAP, bluetooth, and big 1800mAh battery for extra long talk time and phone usage between charges.

Among the multimedia features included in this phone are MP3 and MP4 player, 1.3mp Digital Camera, Image Viewer, Video Recorder, and rich media environment messaging options.

With the internal micro SD card slot already containing a 1GB card, the phone comes out of the box ready to start talking, listening to music, taking pictures, and watching videos.

Chinavision says that the Tri-Band Touchscreen Mobile Phone with Projector will be “available soon”. It’s probably not an Apple or Nokia approval that they’re waiting for.

Black Stealth R/C Helicopter


Looking for a radio-controlled helicopter to go with the cool looking R/C Stealth Boat? Maybe this black affordable 3-channel mini indoor chopper will be right up your alley.

The Black Stealth features 3-channels, allowing it to go up and down, rotate right and left and move forwards and backwards. Unlike most of the small 2-Channel copters on the market which are always moving forward with somewhat twitchy controls, the Black Stealth is a breath of fresh air.

The Black Stealth Helicopter has dual rotors on the top which spin in opposite directions. These opposite spinning blades cancel out uncontrolled torque making for incredibly stable flight. For forward and reverse motion the tail rotor then blows up or down, pitching the copter forward or backward and causing it to move in that direction. It’s a great control system and a pleasure to fly.

Here’s a video of the Black Stealth helicopter in action:



Features:

  • Easiest to fly, most precise controlling R/C copter yet
  • Three channel control gives you fully proportional up/down, right/left and forward/backward control
  • Sleek black plastic body. No foam cockpit
  • Choose from two different channels and fly with a friend
  • Both channel copters are black in color, a flashing red or blue LED lets you know which is yours
  • Dual counter-rotating blades give incredible hovering and stability
  • Helicopter Charges from Remote
  • Easy to adjust trim dial (rather than pushbuttons)
  • 7 Minute fly time, 10 minute charge time
  • Requires 6 AA batteries, not included
  • Copter is 15.5 cm in length with a top blade diameter of 13.5 cm

The Black Stealth 3-Channel R/C Helicopter is available from ThinkGeek for $29.99.

Tatung VOIP phone

How many of you use VOIP on a regular basis? I know there are many VOIP handsets available in the market, but how many of them are lookers like the Tatung VOIP?

The Tatung VOIP, winner of the 2008 IF, IDEA, and Red Dot awards is one classy phone with aims to making internet phones user friendly. Featuring Bluetooth, wireless and a touch pad design, the Tatung VOIP Phone is easy to connect to your VOIP service. Its casing can be customized but other than that the phone is devoid of unnecessary features with the exception of a faux antenna which is just for retro nostalgia.

Makes me wonder why such a classy design (that is not impractical to boot) cannot be turned into reality. Hello, are there any hardware manufacturers reading this?
