LG watchphone - going, going, gone!!

The Orange LG Watchphone went on sale a few months back for a limited period – and sold out in hours.

Now, if you think the concept of a watchphone sounds a little odd, you’re probably too young to remember David Hasselhoff in Knight Rider – he was always talking to his car using his watch. They just don’t make ‘em like they used to.


Anyway, the concept obviously appealed to a fair few people, as the Orange LG Watchphone sold like hotcakes after going on sale in a Bond Street shop. Buyers travelled from all over Europe to get their mitts on it. Ben from Surrey told us, ‘I’m here to buy the Watchphone for my brother. He’s been waiting two years to get one.’ Bless.


It’s been called a ‘miracle of miniaturisation’ and ‘the ultimate boys’ toy’. Just a shame there isn’t one left for the Hoff…

Intelligent alarm clock wakes you up based on sleep patterns

Alarm clocks that are sensitive to your sleep patterns are not a new idea. However, they are quite expensive (150-200$) and they require, apart from the main body of the device, wrist bands and data cables.

Russian developers have created an app that simulates a similar functionality with Easy Wakeup. You should in addition find a wrist-attachment and use it to attach the iPhone to your body. The application, then, by analysing your moves during the night, will wake you up in a pre-determined interval where you are likely to be in light sleep phase. The result is waking up more refreshed.

The app lacks basic functionality like setting up your own songs or generated ringtones as the alarm sound, but we suppose those will be added soon.

Scan barcodes with your iPhone

Or wanted to add some books to your “TO READ” list but felt too lazy to write its paragraph-like title on your notepad? Well,we promise that you’ll like this app, and the feeling of control around your consumerist existence very much!


The App

Though the app store have had some alternatives for this functionality, a new app called Red Laser, claims to shine out thanks to its improved usability. It’s been developed by a bunch of developers who call themselves Occipital, and believe it or not, it even has a developer API!

So.. What can i actually do something useful with this barcode scanner?

Feel free to abuse this ideas;

  • Scan the thingy, and instantly learn the alternative prices, reviews etc on the internet
  • Found the perfect movie to which is romantic enough to watch with your girlfriend but involves violence and action to make you stand it? Scan the movie at the store, add it to your personal “watchlist”, or.. you know.. don’t do something illegal!
  • Scan the rare-quality-but-hard-to-tell-coffe-brand you worship, add it to your grocery list, and prevent your boyfriend to buy something wrong next time!

WOW Mobile and Liberty International Announce Operation American Hero

International announces Operation American Hero as part of Project Velocity. The first phase of Project Velocity was to have recession buster prices for the WOW Mobile Independent Reps. They have a goal for the next ninety days to get in a hundred thousand new reps.

The company wants to honor those brave men and women for their military service of those who are current or recently returning from a tour of duty. WOW Mobile offered Operation American Hero, knowing how difficult it is to make ends meet while being in the military.

For only ninety-nine dollars, a current or recently returned military person signs up with Liberty International’s Basic Fast Start Pack and then is upgraded with Operation American Hero Project. Usually the Basic Pack has one business center and it originally sold for one hundred and ninety-nine dollars, it will be “Super Activated” to the Accelerated Fast Start Pack and all seven business centers will be opened up. If a service person purchases an Advanced Fast Start Pack for two hundred forty nine dollars and again WOW Mobile and Liberty International will “Super Activate” all seven of their Business Centers, which will make their Business Centers eligible for the same commissions as if they had signed up with the Accelerated Fast Start Pack. The price for the Accelerated Fast Start Pack was one thousand six hundred and ninety-nine dollars.

WOW Mobile hopes those currently in the military or those returning from duty to get a jump-start in their new lives and provide additional income as they continue to serve or as they adjust to life outside the military. A military person just needs to email them with their dates of service along with all other information after signing up with Liberty International to http://iphoneinfo.roysencio.com/processing@libertyinternational.net . They are then upgraded at that point.

Liberty International values those that lay their lives on the line so that we can enjoy the freedoms we have and the opportunity to make our lives better.
