Swimmer’s Waterproof MP3 Player Could Pump Up Michael Phelps for More Gold
I’m not sure that this is the right time of year to be selling a waterproof MP3 player but alas Hammacher Schlemmer doesn’t seem to have an issue with it – so why should we. The Swimmer’s Waterproof MP3 player attaches to a pair of swimming goggles, allowing you to listen to music while you swim. The player supports Mp3 and WMV audio files and comes with 1GB of built-in memory. The player consists of your basic controls for volume, track forward/backward, and play/pause and includes an armband and earbud extension cable. The battery supposedly is intended to last about 6 hours – just enough for Michael Phelps to get in a good training session

Just another cellphone emission study: iPhone usage won’t necessarily cause brain tumors?
Cellphone radiation studies aren’t exactly easy to conduct, but there’s some seemingly good news that was published by the Journal of the National Cancer Institute . A study conducted in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden from 1974 to 2003 found no major link between cellphone use and brain tumors. They went so far as to say that “there is no increased risk” of brain tumors due to mobile phone usage, which is certainly a good bit of news. One thought that struck me after reading this was “what kind of phones were these people using?”. Surely the iPhone 3GS with its insanely fast 3G speeds would have a higher SAR (specific absorption rate) than the stuff people were using a few years back

GPS Navigation Services for Mobile
One of the real lesser used features of a mid to top end mobile phone is the GPS capabilities . It is rare that in a buying decision that the availability of GPS is given any consideration, of the additional features a mobile phone can offer, I’d suggest the two most often considered features are email capability and quality of camera. Then there are the media capabilities, generally music then video, followed by suitability for web browsing. GPS tends to rank after all these considerations, if it ranks at all. This could be set to change though, in the light of the recent announcement by Google regarding voice navigation on their Maps product

Update: Verizon Blocked 4INFO’s Shortcode Over Ads Attached To Its SMS Messages
In regards to why Verizon decided to block 4INFO text messages from one of its short codes, it’s come to light that the dispute is over ads being placed in 4INFO’s SMS messages, not per-message fees as we had previously speculated . I had a chance to speak with Zaw Thet, CEO of 4INFO, who stated that Verizon had made requests prior to Friday’s blockage in regards to the advertising attached to 4INFO’s messages via its 44636 short code, and that he believed compliance with their terms had been met. Obviously, Verizon saw it otherwise. “We can’t comment on any part of this dispute other than that we believe that we complied with the Verizon requests, regarding our SMS advertising on 44636, in a timely manner, explained Thet

Couple Updates Facebook Status to “Married” While at Alter

Mid-ceremony, a couple in Abingdon, Maryland took out their cell phones while on the alter to update their relations status to “married”. The couple explained that since they are both technology enthusiasts, and since they had spread the news of their engagement through social networking, they felt that updating their Facebook status at the alter would be very appropriate.

Today’s Appvent Calendar games – Samurai: Way of the Warrior and Navy Patrol: Coastal Defense
Today’s games are brought to you by the letter F (as in FREE): Samurai: Way of the Warrior (review of v1.0 here ) is a hack-and-slash game with more gore than all four (or is it five?) Saw movies combined. It’s got some pretty punishing timing and and it can get a little repetitive, but you can’t argue with a free game. The graphics and presentation are definitely worth a peek, at the very least. [ iTunes link ] Navy Patrol: Coastal Defense is a tower defense game based around combat at sea.

“Dispute” Causes Verizon To Block 4INFO Messages, Per-Message Fees Likely Culprit
A message was sent to all Verizon Wireless customers tonight informing them they would no longer be receiving SMS messages from 4INFO, at least via one short code- 44636. 4INFO has already cited a “dispute” as the cause for such a move, but Verizon’s ridiculous per-message fee is likely the driving factor. Verizon has been toying around the idea of initiating a $.03 fee on all messages sent through its network in an obvious attempt to capitalize further on the rise of SMS/MMS messaging through its network. Last year when Verizon first started talking about the idea, everyone involved in the creation, delivery and all other aspects of mobile messaging were very vocal in their dislike of the potential move by Verizon. Obviously, those fears might be coming true

How to change or add icons to an iPhone Winterboard theme
[ Jailbreak only ] There’s a saying that goes like this: “Those who lack Photoshop and the skill required to manipulate and create images tweak their themes instead.” You probably haven’t heard of it, since I just made it up now. If you’ve ever found a theme you loved, but just wanted to replace small portions of it to make it suit your tastes a little better, then this guide is for you. I’ve been learning from various forums and websites about how to modify or add to my Winterboard themes, and it’s all just a matter of knowing which folders your image files are in, and then replacing the particular icons you’d like to change.

All-Over Tardis Will Disguise Your Geek Status on Demand
The All-Over Tardis T-shirt is the perfect interactive t-shirt for the closeted Doctor Who fan. The neat thing about this shirt, aside from it being a Doctor Who shirt, is that it will change based on its surroundings. When you don’t feel like showing off your geek status, it will look like a gray t-shirt with cool lines and circles on it. But then when you’re ready to geek out at let’s say Comicon, the Doctor Who logo and TARDIS will materialize on the shirt.

DVD Player Boombox Might Have Came From 2001: A Space Odyssey
So the 7.0″ TFT LCD “Boombox DVD” Player doesn’t sport any cutting edge technology, but its retro design has caught our eye. This system is a DVD player with a built-in 7″ LCD player and it also features an analog TV tuner (which is actually useless), a USB/iPod port, an FM Radio, support for MP3 and MP4 files, an SD card reader, and a remote control is included. Features aside, we are totally digging its white spherical design that looks like something out of an old scifi movie. You can pick up the 7.0″ TFT LCD “Boombox DVD” Player for $200.
