Crazy Earphones stick a katana through your head

If you thought Lady Gaga headphones were weird, then you haven't seen the aptly named Crazy Earphones from Solid Alliance. These 'phones come with plastic models tacked to the back of the earbuds that will make it look like there's an arrow or katana stuck through your ear canals or that there are mushrooms growing out of them. A fourth design adds an additional pair of ears to your original--weird.

Apple readies multitouch tactile keyboard?

Trust Apple to come up with interesting solutions to age-old problems. One of the reasons why virtual keyboards never really took off was the lack of tactile feedback. While pointing and multitouch gestures work best with smooth surfaces, physical keyboards still rule for data input as human hands need to feel the keys for typing accuracy.

What's the one app you can't live without?

Before 1999, a blackberry was just the name of a fruit.

And a few years ago, Apple launched a touchscreen smartphone that caught the entire mobile industry napping.

Soon after, there came an explosion of mobile phone applications. From Facebook to Twitter and Maps to VoIP, there's an app for almost every imaginable activity. And the phrase from Apple's iPhone marketing team, "There's an app for that", aptly describes what we've witnessed in the past year.

Now, what's the one application you can't live without on your smartphone? Tell us in Talkback.

Nokia's Fun Camera brings back memories

Cleaning your office/desk is an annual preholiday ritual at CNET. It's amazing what you can collect in a year, and because I'm the polar opposite of a hoarder, I actually look forward to the task. Mostly I toss old press releases and outdated cables--I promise that I recycle everything that I can--but occasionally I'll find a museum-worthy gadget from another age.

Take for instance, the Nokia Fun Camera, which I found at the bottom of a box filled with old wired headsets.
