Most that enjoy gardening have likely heard that it’s better to water your plants late in the evening rather than during the day. However, if you aren’t the best at gardening just yet or you’re just so busy that you tend to forget, often night can sneak up on you. Which leaves you the choice of waiting till the next day to water your plants or attempt to wander out in the dark. Well if it’s difficult to find your way around the yard at night, this contraption might come in handy.
It’s a regular universal-fit pistol grip spray with rain spray, it just happens to have the extra perk of an LED bulb built into it. Which would give you light and free up one of your hands. That would also make it easier to prune where it’s needed. The Lighted Garden Nozzle takes only two AA batteries to keep the LED light working. It will cost you $12.49 from Restoration Hardware.

If you are going to run a mobile phone store you may as well do it with some class, and what classier way is there than having a Rolls-Royce Phantom stop outside your drive.
Some well-heeled entrepreneur in India decided to dish out the cash for a Rolls-Royce Phantom and then set about desecrating the luxurious vehicle with a paint job and decals and transformed it into a mobile phone store.
It?s ingenuity at work I guess, but I mean come on that is a Rolls-Royce Phantom not some shabby white van. Oh and I hear that when the car got a flat tire the local repair shop had no idea how to fix it. Attention grabbing probably, classy definitely not.

Looks like BlackBerry maker Research In Motion is looking at something new in the mobile phone line, and that is a mobile handset that has a keypad with wings and have filed a patent for such.
The concept is that the mobile phone starts off with a numeric keypad on a slimmer mobile handset, too slim we think, but anyway, when the users feel it necessary for more keys they flip out the two wings.
Personally I would think this type of thing would be somewhat clumsy to use to say the least, and just where those flips actually sit when not in use simply covers up even more of the slim keypad. Really can?t see the point in this one.

Ah remember the late 60?s and the arrival of the iconic tabletop lava lamp? Well it?s back in the groove but this time on an iconic mobile phone, the Apple iPhone.
iLava for the iPhone is an application from New York based Gotham Wave Games, and let?s the iPhoner interact with virtual globs of floating wax and push them around the iPhone screen with their finger, and can be done whilst listening to music.
One would imagine one would have to be a fan of the lava lamp to want this application, because that?s all it does. iLava for the iPhone isn?t a productive app but more of a time passer when waiting for a bus or train or whatever, and is available via the App Store for $0.99.

Remember a while ago an argument between Research In Motion and Motorola as they squared up to each other over employee poaching? Well apparently Motorola is attempting to put a block not on just currently employed workers but fired ones too, and so the BlackBerry maker is striking back.
The mutual agreement between Motorola and RIM expired back in August, but cheeky Motorola is still trying to enforce said agreement, so Research In Motion is suing Motorola.
Sounds to me like a rather stupid move by Motorola if said agreement has already expired. One would have thought Motorola has enough problems what with their junk credit, dropping rep, and their Android development shoving everything else out the door. And really, just what gives any employer the right to decide who a fired employee works for, surely once fired it is the right of that employee to seek gainful employment elsewhere and with whomever?

There was a bit of talk about these Space Invaders Headphones over the summer, but sadly as of then they weren’t released. We were once again forced to wait, which is always torture. Well now they are finally being sold. Which means you can show your love for the vintage game while you’re out and about listening to music, likely trying to block out the sound of the general public.
The headphones come in two different color combinations. One being black and white, and the other is pink, black and white. Which is nice that they added in that color combination for the gaming chicks that enjoy their pink accessories. These of course aren’t going to have spectacular sound, they’ll work just fine. However, it’s by no means nothing to brag about. Anyone that managed to get a pre-order in, will soon be receiving their set of headphones since they have already shipped out. If you’re interested in picking up your own it will cost you $25.90.

Take and old mobile phone, add a touchscreen and bingo one new touchscreen mobile handset coming from Nokia in the form of the Nokia 6208 Classic which is set to hit China.
The word is the Nokia 6208 Classic runs on some version of S40 and has been altered to accommodate a touchscreen without affecting the original alphanumeric keypad.
Spec wise the Nokia 6208 Classic is tri-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE 900/1800/1900, 2.4 inch TFT touchscreen display, 3.2 megapixel camera with auto-focus and flash, 13MB internal memory and a microSD.
Probably not going to see the Nokia 6208 Classic outside China, but then again there are plenty of touchscreen devices coming out in the west anyway.

Luxury mobile phone maker Vertu has shown the latest addition to Vertu?s overpriced list, the Vertu Signature Dragon mobile phone.
The Vertu Signature Dragon is in the same style as the Vertu Signature Cobra which retailed for a gut busting ¼ million bucks, so god knows what Vertu will be asking for the Signature Dragon.
My personal view of the Signature Dragon is it looks like, going on the image, like something you?d expect to find in a Flash Gordon film, pretend futuristic tech with an ugly overdone look, which could easily take the worlds ugliest mobile phone title. Whatever Vertu charge it?s not worth the cash.

Sony Ericsson is supposedly looking to Mobinnova to manufacture Sony Ericsson Windows Mobile handsets in future thus replacing HTC. So why is Sony Ericsson changing to Mobinnova?
Wel maybe because Sony Ericsson has noticed the Mobinnova ICE, which one presumes, is Mobinnova?s first mobile handset as I at least haven?t seen anything from them before.
Maybe Sony Ericsson is impressed with the ICE and it?s for this reason they have switched, I?m only guessing as the ICE isn?t a patch on a HTC Touch Diamond. The ICE does pack in a 3 inch WQVGA touchscreen, WiFi, HSDPA and a 3 megapixel camera though, and is quite a nice looking handset.
