iPhone 3G

A revolutionary phone, a wide screen iPod, and a breakthrough Internet device with rich HTML email and a desktop-class web browser. iPhone 3G. It redefines what a mobile phone can do — again also iPhone 3G to be Available in More Than 70 Countries now.

Features in iPhone 3G

*Phone
* Mail
* Safari
* iPod
* SMS
* Maps with GPS
* iTunes
* App Store
* Calendar
* YouTube
* Photos + Camera
* Stocks, Weather, Notes
* Calculator

Built into iPhone are two small but intelligent sensors that pick up cues from the environment and adjust the screen accordingly. These sensors both work to maximize the battery life and improve your iPhone experience.

The ambient light sensor in iPhone automatically brightens the display when you’re in sunlight or a bright room and dims it in darker places.

When you lift iPhone to your ear, the proximity sensor immediately turns off the display to save power and prevent inadvertent touches.

iPhone responds to motion using a built-in accelerometer. When you rotate iPhone from portrait to landscape, the accelerometer detects the movement and changes the display accordingly. So you immediately see the entire width of a web page, view a photo in its proper aspect ratio, or control a game using only your movements.

The 3G iPhone will sell for US$199 for the 8GB model and $299 for the 16GB model. That’s a $200 discount from the previous $399 and $499 prices for the 8GB and 16GB iPhones, respectively.

Ceramic iPod speaker “Phonofone”, it uses no power!!!

Phonofone

The Phonofone is an unusual speaker for your iPod not just for its old-fashioned looks, only it uses no power.

Through passive amplification alone, these unique pieces instantly transform any personal music player + earbuds into a sculptural audio console. Without the use of external power or batteries, the Phonofone II inventively exploits the virtues of horn acoustics to boost the audio output of standard earphones to up to 55 decibels. Now let’s make this clear, 55 decibels is not going to entertain your party, but it’s fine for the office or next to the bed or or for a dinner party. Dimensions: 11″ x 9.5″ x 20″ (28 x 25 x 51 cm)

But honestly, if you want to get a great sounding set of speakers that you can crank up and rock out to, get a set of Bose.
