Cell Phone Accessories

This is one of those ideas that we have all had, and just wondered when someone was going to build the application. Latitude from Google is one of those applications that might scare some. It is a unique application because it provides Twitter-esque real-time GPS tracking of friends and family. All from the comfort of your computer or cell phone.

Google has done well with the resources available to them. I hope that the founders remain friendly, and stay away from the dark side. What’s next? If the founder of PayPal can build an electric car, maybe the Google founders will build the flying car we all thought would be available today.

This is a great application in moderation, and I look forward to using this service. Don’t leave your cell phone lying around – or password protect the device. Here are some privacy setting tips if you decide to use the service. If my kids had cell phones, I would request they use this service. This would be a great service for groups of vacationers in strange cities or towns.

Google certainly seized the day when the cell phone manufacturers started building GPS into the devices. There is no cost for this service, just like most Google products and services. My favorite is Goog-411.

The Zeemote JS1 controller is intuitive and with Bluetooth connectivity – it is a perfectly designed and connected gaming remote controller. When I hold it, I say to myself, “why did I not think of this?” It only makes sense that your mobile phone has a joystick. Of course, those in Europe have been enjoying this device for the past year, and with the BlackBerry Alliance accepting the Zeemote as an approved product, the games will certainly follow and jump the big pond. Electronic Arts, SEGA, I-play, glu, gameloft, Hardwire, Digital Chocolate, and more are preparing their games for the BlackBerry now.

The Zeemote is well made, and is very small with comfort for thumb control that takes mobile gaming to a whole new level. Be patient… it is not available in the States just yet, but will most likely be sold where mobile phones are sold. Check with Zeemote by visiting www.zeemote.com for more information.

Sony unveils three new headphones for the holiday season.

Starting off with their new noise canceling headphones (model MDR-NC7). These are an updated version of their most popular noise canceling headphones, the MDR-NC6. The MDR-NC7 has improved noise-reduction to reduce approximately 87.4 percent of ambient noise. It includes a carrying pouch and in-flight adapter at about $50.

Next up are the colorful metallic EX Style earbuds (model MDR-EX36V). For comfort and fit, the silicone earbuds come in three sizes. The adjustable 3.9 ft cord comes with an in-line volume control and a much appreciated L shaped mini plug to stay out of the way. The price of the MDR-EX36V is about $30.
