iPhone rates in Germany
Apple and T-Mobile has just dropped the ball concerning rates for the iPhone in Germany. All three “iPhone Complete” plans come with unlimited data, Visual Voicemail, as well as access to T-Mobile’s WiFi hotspots in Germany (more than 8,000 of those around). Starting from €49 monthly, the “Complete M” plan comes with 100 minutes and 40 SMS messages, while the €69 “Complete L” option boasts 200 minutes and 150 SMS messages. For those who want more, there is always the “Complete XL” plan for €89, catering for the power user with 1,000 minutes and 300 text messages. In case that isn’t enough, you’ll need to fork out an additional €0.39/minute in the Complete L and M plans and €0.29/minute in the XL plan, and text messages cost another €0.29. What do you think of these plans?

The Xenith X1 smart helmet comes with shock absorbing discs that are able to release air upon impact, where the amount and speed are variable depending on the severity of the impact. This works much better than traditional foam inserts that perform just the same in any situation. The Xenith X1 features a flexible, vented casing embedded with specialized shock absorbers that aim to decrease potential damage to the head and brain of football players. I wonder if such technology ought to be ported over to the NHL as well.
Qantas Airways aims to release preliminary results of its in-flight phone trial before the year is over, and it is hoped that cellphones won’t interfere with in-flight signalling equipment. After all, high powered businessmen as well as those who just want to keep in touch with loved ones on a long journey would love to have the capability of making affordable calls instead of relying on in-flight phones that charge a bomb. Currently, Qantas passengers can communicate via available telephones located in their seats, but hopefully this cheaper option will be made available soon.
Bence Bogar has developed a Sony Ericsson PXi concept that targets southpaws, although it can be used by right-handers as well. This slim and ergonomic handset is made out of magnesium and boasts a generous 3.3″ touchscreen display. The screen will be able to rotate automatically just like the iPhone and has been optimized for both stylus and finger input. On the right is a jogdial and secondary touchscreen that caters to whatever application that is running currently. There are two memory card slots for those who think 8GB isn’t enough. In addition, this concept PXi comes with stereo speakers and a 5 megapixel Cybershot camera. Sounds like a wet dream, and it is. The battery life ought to be pretty short with these specifications, and what - no 3G?
Vulink has just released its MB-1000 Dual-Monitor Arm Stand that allows you to hook up a couple of monitors in any way you like it, as it is fully adjustable featuring 360-degree rotation, tilting, pans, pivot, sliding, and lifting. Vulink has ensured that their produces are modular across the line, enabling easy upgrade sometime down the road. No idea on how much this Dual-Monitor Arm Stand will cost though, but it works great for those who need tons of desktop space while remaining flexible.
Lenovo has quietly made available its Y410 notebook at major electronics and computer retailers such as Office Depot, Micro Center and Staples, making it the first time in Lenovo’s history of marketing a consumer notebook in the US in this manner. The Y410 is your regular office workhorse, featuring an Intel Core 2 Duo processor (1.46GHz to 1.66GHz), a 14.1″ widescreen LCD display at 1,280 x 800 resolution, an integrated Intel graphics chipset, 1GB RAM, a 160GB hard drive, a dual layer DVD burner, a 6-in-1 memory card reader, and a built-in 1.3 megapixel webcam. Connectivity options include a trio of USB 2.0 ports, a FireWire port, VGA, S-Video, and an ExpressCard slot. The Y410 retails for approximately $700 upwards, depending on the configuration.
Woe to those who purchased their Xbox 360s from GameStop as the company has ended their replacement plan for Microsoft’s current-generation console due to the system’s unusually high failure rate. A flier has shown that GameStop will honor current replacement plans until they expire, but you’re out of luck if you’ve been searching for a new Xbox 360 there. Guess GameStop doesn’t have a cool billion to splash around, so this corporate move makes perfect sense. I wonder what potential customers would do next - will they use the money originally intended for an Xbox 360 on a PS3 or Nintendo Wii? Or will they take their money elsewhere and pick up an Xbox 360 from a store that provides extended warranty?
