If you thought all mobile phones are created equal, think again. Experience living in the wild side with the new Puma Phone, a completely custom made user-friendly smartphone for that sporty mountain lion in you. Last Mobile World Congress (MWC 2010), the sports apparel giant, Puma and Sagem wireless let loose this wild mobile phone to the world and from there on, it was clear who the king of the jungle was. The Puma phone features an agile and graceful tablet form factor that reminds you a lot of its brand’s namesake. The front panel has a smooth 240×320 2.8-inch touchscreen. The back plate only holds the 3.2 megapixel camera with LED flash and x6 zoom.

As a testament of Puma’s dedication to environmental sustainability – the back plate also has built-in solar cell with charge indicator. Built for an active lifestyle, the solar rechargeable batteries offer almost limitless power and when fully charged, it can last for up to 5 hours of talk time and an astounding 350 hours of stand-by time. When it’s time to beat world records or just whip into shape, you can take advantage of this smartphone’s integrated pedometer, GPS tracker, stopwatch, spin and scratch music player, and integrated radio to keep you company. You can even plot your daily run with the phone’s GPS, compass, geotagging, routing and mapping features.

For those who want more for their active digital lifestyle, Puma offers internet and Bluetooth connectivity, video calling, photo sharing and a carousel-based GUI with instant access to Puma World.

Play Football – NERF Style with Nerf Vortex Howler

It’s touchdown time! Nerf Vortex Howler gives you the ultimate football experience with awesome performance and cool whistling sound like no other football.

NERF (an acronym for Non-Expanding Recreational Foam) was initially introduced as an indoor-safe ball by Parker Brothers in 1969. With simple beginnings forty years ago as an orange foam ball, now, NERF is not only a key player in action based performance toys but also transcends the toy aisle as a lifestyle brand for kids and adults alike. And here’s another addition to their sports items – the NERF Vortex Howler.

The NERF Vortex is a foam US-style football with a large tailfin. The idea is you throw it through the air like a US football player and listen to the sound effects produced by the three separate whistles strategically mounted inside its main body. The long tail connected to the main body allows the Vortex Howler to spiral flawlessly through the air. It will allow throwing novices to reach excellent distances and near perfect flight paths.

A supremely portable park or beach plaything, this cool gadget is made from tough material, durable enough for outdoor use, but also soft enough for easy catches. Its durable material has no effect on its weight, meaning, it can be easily packed into a backpack or bag. What’s more, the NERF Vortex Howler also boasts an extremely reasonable price tag. So why don’t you get it here right now and make the simple game of throw and catch more interesting with sight and sound.
