2. Best Dock: Altec Lansing T612

altec lansing t612If you are in a mood to share and have a party at your home then there is no better dock than this one. It features some technology that makes it “immune to mobile phone interference,” which means you can leave your iPhone’s cell radio on while it’s in the dock–and even take calls. That’s a step up from all other speaker docks to date that require you to switch the iPhone to airplane mode to avoid the annoying interference that the Apple phone (and all other GSM cell phones) tend to cause when they’re placed in close proximity to speakers.

Nokia N900 Review: What’s Hot and What’s Not

For almost 3 years, Apple’s iPhone has set the standard for mainstream smart phones. Apple has taken over a large portion of the smart phone market actually. But it didn’t stop Nokia to launch its N900. Yes, one phone that looks like it has a real chance to compete with the iPhone is Nokia’s new N900 phone/internet tablet.n900Product Summary:

Combining a mobile computer, cell phone, high-quality camera and portable media player into a single device, the Nokia N900 offers fast 3G connectivity, global roaming capabilities, and a wealth of messaging capabilities to keep you in touch with family, friends and business associates wherever you roam. Nokia has equipped the N900 with decent hardware: it has a 600Mhz processor (the same used in the Motorola Droid) that integrates a PowerVR SGX 530 graphics processor (OpenGL 2.0). It runs the new Linux-based Maemo operating system, which brings the benefits of your PC to your mobile world. The 3.5-inch display has a resolution of 800 x 480, and there’s a 5-megapixel camera with flash and autofocus for photos and video. Best of all, 32 GB of storage is on-board storage, expandable to 48 GB with a MicroSD card.

The good:

Unlike the iPhone 3GS that is subsidized by AT&T and locked to their network, the Nokia N900 allows you to choose any GSM mobile provider you want (T-Mobile or AT&T in the US). Yes, the N900 is an unlocked GSM phone, meaning, you’re not stuck with a single mobile provider. It has a built-in keyboard and if you like on-screen keyboards, the N900 have one of those too. The Nokia N900 also features a microSD memory card slot that allows you to extend the memory with cards. If you run out of memory for all your photos, videos and music, you can simply add or swap memory cards – you are not limited to only 32 GB.

The bad:

Most of the N900′s functionality is confined to landscape mode, which is probably why the phone is occasionally referred to as a tablet. When you want to fire off a quick text message or look something up on the Web, needing two hands will become inconvenient in a hurry.

Bottom line:

While it has yet to reach its full potential, the Nokia N900 is a powerful mobile device with excellent browsing capabilities and vast customization options. However, its unintuitive interface and other limitations make this a smartphone for tech enthusiasts and early adopters only.

Technical Specifications:

• Total available application memory up to 1 GB (256 MB RAM, 768 MB virtual memory)
• Supported protocols: Mail for Exchange, IMAP, POP3, SMTP
• SMS and instant messages organized as conversations
• Support for Nokia Messaging service
• Instant messaging and Presence-enhanced contacts
• Multiple number, email and Instant Messaging details per contact, contacts with images
• Integrated hands-free stereo speakers
• Logging of dialed, received and missed calls

• Wi-Fi networking (802.11b/g) with WEP, WPA, WPA2 security; designed for continuous TCP/IP connectivity
• Capability to serve as data modem via USB connection
• Music playback file formats: .mp3, .wma, .aac, .m4a, .wav

However, there are times when we need more than just a wake-up call from our alarm clock. Since it will be displayed in our room, we want it to be stylish and to be more functional. This is the reason why the Colour Changing Push Clock is made.

Unlike the typical alarm clock, this fabulous time-keeper is push activated. It comes with four modes: Time, Date, Day, and Temperature. Just a quick push from you and the clock’s LCD will switch between these four functions. It hence allows you to keep an eye not just on the hour, but also on the day, and on the temperature.

The clock delivers all these amazing functions without compromising its main job which is to give an alarm at the time you need to get up.

The Color Changing Push Clock comes with a modern, sophisticated design. It isn’t just a nice embellishment for your room; it also makes a perfect gift to everyone you love. With this clock, you can give your loved ones an attractive and glitzy way to let the hours pass.
