Eva Mendes is turning into quite the tech-aware star; not only did she shill the importance of recycling cell phones with Scarlett Johansson, she is also aware of California's Hands-Free Law, wearing her headset with a microphone before she even gets in the car. Snaps, Eva!
Her headset doesn't look like anything fancy — methinks it's a standard BlackBerry one that came with her Pearl. Very no-nonsense.
Looks like she sees benefits besides safety, too — with her hands not holding her phone to her ear, she can lug around magazines with her face on them!
Even though I previously got rid of a landline, I let one sneak back into my life when I wanted to upgrade my Internet service, and the best deal in town happens to be bundles. Combining cable with voice and Internet yielded the best deals, and I'm not alone; a survey shows that customers prefer subscribing to bundles offered by phone companies, rather than cable companies.
Around here, no phone companies offer bundles like the cable company does, so that's not an option for me, but I think it's interesting that so many people are going for bundles, rather than cherry-picking each service. I do it for the price and supreme convenience, even though I now receive a service (voice) that I don't care that much about.
What about you? Do you subscribe to some kind of a bundle of cable, phone, and Internet service?
Since it looks like pretty much every single character on Gossip Girl got a new cell phone for Season Two, I thought some of you might be curious about what your favorite Upper East Siders are carrying since you've been back into this season's tech quizzes! Last week I told you Blair had a new maroon eNV2, and this week my gaze is fixed on the budding couturier, Jenny Humphrey.
Jenny used to have a pink RAZR — which I think fit her really well — but it looks like she's picking up some tech fashion steam with her internship. Not only has Jenny upgraded, but she's gone with the handset maker of the moment: HTC! HTC, you'll recall, is the maker of Google's new Android phone, the G1, and though Jenny couldn't get that (girlfriend's on Verizon), she went with the same color we usually see the G1 in: White. I myself am a huge fan of white cell phones and gadgets, and particularly this phone: The HTC Touch.
Available on Verizon for $200 after discounts, the Touch is a smartphone with a touch screen, music player, QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth, and you get access to an application store.
You'd never guess it, but I love a good head-banging song; you know, something like "Back in Black" by AC/DC would definitely do the trick. Well this November, I'll really get to rock out since the AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track Pack video game will be hitting store shelves. The game is playable with any compatible music instrument controller, and players who have Rock Band can import their tracks into this game. The AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track Pack will be available on November 2 at Wal-Mart and Sam's Clubs stores in the US for the Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3 and PS2 ($30). And on November 16, you'll be able to pick up a copy for the Wii ($40).
Cameras, video games and Android handsets — Oh my! This month's Must Haves list is bursting with new tech toys that are fresh for Fall and sure to be a hit this holiday season. Wondering what the latest and greatest gadgets are? Check out my slideshow for some fun gift ideas, or items you can add to your personal wish lists!
PanoLab is an astonishingly free photo app that lets you put pictures (the ones you've already taken and are on your phone or ones you take with the camera right then) in a panoramic arrangement, using just a few taps and turns. Multitouch is enabled, as is a 180-degree field, so you can rotate photos all over the place, horizontally and vertically.
Save the easy panoramas in your library or email them to yourself; it's a great way to capture a big moment because you don't have your camera on you, or to simply do something your point-and-shoot can't do in thirty seconds!
Finally, October is here! Some of my most anticipated games are hitting the shelves this month, and I can hardly wait. One of the titles is even guaranteed to be on your porch on the date it hits the streets through Amazon's Release Date Delivery program. Excited much? Me too. Check out some of the October releases I recommend in this slideshow!
