BlackBerry Storm tattoo wins man a real Storm

John Chan | Nov 11, 2008

BlackBerry enthusiast site CrackBerry organized a contest titled "What would you do for a BlackBerry Storm?", urging readers to do something extreme to win one of the 10 touchscreen email handsets it's giving out.

The first winner, T.J., has been picked, and boy, was it over the top--he tattooed a full-sized Storm along with the CrackBerry logo on his calf along with the words "iPhone Sucks" below that. What made it even more cringe-inducing was that the tattoo artist was a major iPhone fanboy--it's a good thing he was professional and did a good job. Would you go as far as T.J. did for your favorite gadget?

Fancy an iriver mobile phone?

iriver is a company that consistently produces good-looking and high-quality MP3 players. That's why we welcome news of its upcoming mobile phone. There was talk that the company would do something like that after it showed off a concept earlier this year at CES but now iriver has officially confirmed it will provide Korean operator KT with a mobile phone early next year.

Very little information has been released so far, but we know it has a large touchscreen and Wi-Fi. The brushed aluminum body is attractive and, unless that model is really small, it looks pretty compact. That's all there is to know about it for now. We'll have to wait till next year to see if it makes its way out of Korea to Asia Pacific.

Seskimo Batrest fits in utility belt, defeats three evildoers in a single throw

Justin Yu | Nov 11, 2008

Seskimo...sounds dirty.

Last week, I reported on how to make your own iPhone stand using a simple binder clip. I'm still a huge fan of all things free, but if you watch a lot of videos on your iPhone and suffer from a disease that forces you to spend money, get your stand from the folks at Seskimo.

Their foldable "Bat Rest" is roughly the same size as a credit card and is easily adjustable for different viewing angles. It's also very useful for disarming criminals if thrown with trained precision. It comes in three colors (black, white, and translucent) and only costs US$3.99, which is pretty darn close to free. Heck, buy two from the Web site and they'll throw in shipping for free! And if for some reason you harbor prejudice against our bat-friends, Seskimo also makes a different stand shaped like a set of bullhorns.

More pictures after the jump, thanks to Barrier Bloor for the link.

Nokia's smart phone roadmap spilled

Damian Koh | Nov 11, 2008

This certainly makes for good rumormongering on a slow Tuesday morning. You know how Nokia has always shied from or kept mum on clarifying any rumors and product roadmaps we pose to the company? Well, it appears someone has been poking around and, miracle of miracles, gotten hold of some juicy details on the Finnish firm's smart phone roadmap. Engadget Mobile's got the scoop and we are breaking it down here for you.

It appears there are at least four more S60 5th Edition devices on the calendar, two of which caught our attention. The Corolla (codename) is purported to sport a 3-inch VGA display, 8-megapixel camera, half QWERTY keyboard, 8GB ROM, Wi-Fi, HSPA and A-GPS, while the Eitri (codename) will come with a 3.5-inch 640 x 350-pixel display and a pressure-sensitive touch user interface that provides tactile feedback and probably recognizes gestures as well.

Aliph introduces accessories for the Jawbone

Accessories for a Bluetooth headset may seem a little much, but Aliph has recently announced a few new add-ons to its popular Aliph Jawbone 2 Bluetooth headset. First, it addresses a few complaints about the Jawbone 2 fit with these new fit earbuds. These rubber ear cushions come with an additional rubber loop made to fit securely within the folds of the outer ear, so you won't need the Jawbone ear hook any more. Aliph also claims that these new ear cushions will make it easier for consumers to place the Voice Activity Sensor correctly.

Next is the Jawbone car charger with USB cable, which is exactly what it sounds like. Nothing much more to say about this silver-looking bullet, except that it will cost you around US$29.99. The aforementioned new fit earbuds are free with any new purchase of the Jawbone 2; we're currently checking to see if existing customers will have to pay for them.
