Love It Or Leave It: Soft Touch Light Dimmers

GeekSugar — Sat, 28 Jul 2007 13:00:56 -0700

The Essential Wall Dimmers offer a new and colorful way to adjust the lights in your home. All you have to do is tap on the tufted textile sensor and it turns on, off or dims your lights. Each dimmer is handcrafted in Seattle, WA from Designtex wool felt, conductive yarns, neoprene, and acrylic. The electronic fibers are embedded directly into the material, so there are no hidden buttons or switches in the fabric. I like the idea for playrooms and even a funky, mod family room or game room. What do you think?

GeekSugar — Wed, 06 Jun 2007 03:31:15 -0700

HTC just unveiled its version of the iPhone, the Touch which to some of you, you may recognize as the new and improved Elf. The Touch is the first cell phone to come with TouchFLO touchscreen technology, a new feature developed by HTC. Just like the iPhone, you can use your finger to navigate your way around the menu screen.. although you can use your stylus as well if you've got sticky fingers.

This phone boasts a 2.8 inch touchscreen, 128MB of ROM, 64MB of RAM, a 2 megapixel camera, bluetooth, Windows Mobile 6 and other great features.

It is currently available in the UK and will be making its way to Europe and Asia later in the month. Expect to see it in the US by the end of this year!

GeekSugar — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 11:10:24 -0800

Although you only get two options when choosing an iPhone (even less if you're picking up an iPod Touch), you can always express your individuality with a case. I've got plenty of options for you, but if you're looking for something with a little more sizzle, a little more class if you will, check out these slim-fitting Blink Cases ($20-$25).

These sleek and shiny cases hug the curves of your iPhone or iPod Touch without adding bulk and weight to your pocket. And even though they look like a million bucks, they don't cost a fortune. Coming in four different shades to match your sophisticated taste, Blink cases also come correct with a mirrored face plate so you can touch up your lip gloss or smooth out those perfectly placed waves in your hair. Oh, behave.

Charge Your iPod Touch With the Sun Using This Case

GeekSugar — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 03:50:06 -0700

I love my gadgets, but what happens when your cell phone or iPod needs to be juiced up and you're nowhere near a power supply and you managed to forget your iPod cord at home? Thanks to solar powered gizmos, you've always got a back up - well that is, if you have some sunlight to work with!

Novothink has created this hybrid solar iPod Touch charger case called the Surge (patent still pending), but unlike concept designs, this handy accessory will be available later this month for $70. The way it works is the case features 3.7 V lithium-ion battery that can either be charged via the sun (with the built-in solar panel) or by USB.

No word on whether they will come out with iPhone 3G and 3GS friendly versions.

The TeleNav GPS App Will Make Its Way to the MyTouch 3G

GeekSugar — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 11:15:57 -0700

I'm all for GPS devices, but I just love the idea of using navigation services on your cell phone, so you don't get stuck carrying around another device. Already compatible with the T-Mobile G1, various BlackBerry phones and the iPhone, the TeleNav GPS Navigator app will soon be available to use on the MyTouch 3G smartphone.

Starting tomorrow, customers will be able to test drive the TeleNav navigation app free for 30 days and then it will be $10 after that. The MyTouch 3G will be able to display full-color traffic conditions, the weather, and accept voice commands.

The T-Mobile myTouch 3G Launch Causes a Spectacle in SF

GeekSugar — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 14:30:00 -0700

I told you yesterday that you can head over to your nearest T-Mobile store and pick up your own myTouch, but what I didn't tell you was that there was a major party going down for its launch. Not only was Elvis on hand to welcome the newest Android phone to the market, but skydivers and a full-on jet flyby completed the ceremony.

I can't wait to get my hands on the G1 predecessor and try out all the customizations, so keep your eyes peeled for a review coming up soon! In the meantime, check out lots of photos from the event in San Francisco yesterday when you read more.
