Asmita:
If you happen to be lucky, or rich enough to own both a Mercedes-Benz AND an iPhone, then I have some absolutely fab news for you. A new cellphone cradle for the Merc will now allow iPhone users to integrate their fav handset fully into their fav wheels’ architecture. The new Apple iPhone cradle is located in the centre console, within the easy reach of both the driver and the front passenger and lets users simply switch between the telephone and audio functions. The device can also be controlled via the multifunction steering wheel with the vehicle display being used to indicate the phone status or music info such as track title, artist, album etc., which only goes on to make your Merc even of the pride and joy of your life!

A couple weeks ago we at UV gave a review of the Dual-SIM Samsung P240 handset, aka the D780 in different markets. Our review was rather positive, so the phone was granted a special Russian Olympic Team version, plated in gold.
We doubt that our good review had anything to do with it, but we still like to think the Russians are subscribing to our website.
As far as limited editions go, the only main difference with this one that we can see is that it is plated in gold. The original version was launched in May of this year and was well received.

The Chapter One watch from Maîtres du Temps is a collaboration between three leading watch designers, Christophe Claret, Peter Speake-Marin, and Roger Dubuis. It shows. This watch is a real looker. Plus, the Chapter One has a tourbillon, retrograde GMT and date indicators, with a mono-pusher chronograph and 60-minute totalizer.
One of the coolest and simpler features is the pair of rolling displays that show the day of the week and the moon phase. Prepare to be broke after buying this beauty. It’s a limited edition of only 33, which immediately jacks the price skyhigh. It will cost you just under $400,000.

Today the WiMax Forum announced the first 10 WiMax products that have received official certification in the 2.5 GHz frequency, and also mentioned plans to begin certifying 3.5 GHz products later this year.
Among those receiving the “WiMax Forum Certified Seal of Approval” are Samsung, Motorola, Alvarion, and Intel. Both base stations and mobile modules were approved; they claim they are the first consortium to certify base station equipment.
The forum said that more than 100 products will be certified by years end, and more than 1,000 by the year 2011. To make this happen, it will begin accepting applications for certification by the third quarter of this year.
This is a big sprint ahead in the upcoming WiMax battle with LTE, with initial launch scheduled for September in Baltimore and LTE not surfacing until 2010 on Verizon and AT&T’s networks.
The products certified in the 2.5GHz will work on Clearwire and Sprint’s WiMax network.

Who doesn’t love Space Invaders? Answer: Those being invaded of course. Say you’re chillin’ in your room, by the gentle light of your Space Invaders lamp. Just outside your window, the moonlight gently illuminates their latest message to Earth. Soon the invasion will begin. But you don’t need to worry about that. Not after selling out your entire race. You will be spared and given your own island in the Bahamas.
What better way to drown out the sound of human extinction, then by donning a pair of retro Space Invaders headphones. They can be pre-ordered and will ship in mid-late October 2008 for $19.90. They’re free to traitors.

Hot off the presses is the A.M.P.Bot, a unique roller-bot that moves around using a gyroscopic balancing system that works much like the Segway Personal Transporter.
A.M.P. stands for “Automated Musical Personality”. That’s because the wheeled robot can follow you around and play your tunes wherever you go. When set to tracking mode, the robot will even keep tabs on your location and keep the speakers facing you at all times. The self-balancing 29-inch tall robot rolls along courtesy of a piezoelectronic gyroscope which keeps it from tipping over on its narrow 2-wheel base. There’s also an obstacle avoidance system to keep A.M.P. from bumping into walls or tumbling down the stairs.
As the ‘bot moves around the room, it’ll “dance” (more like wobble) to the tunes on your connected MP3 player, keeping with the beat - with a bunch of synchronized LEDs blinking all the while. A built in 12-watt amp and a set of three speakers pump out the music. You’ll be able to control the audio mix and a variety of sound effects by interacting with A.M.P.bot’s touch-sensitive mixing pad “hands”.
The A.M.P.Bot will be coming to the States courtesy of Hasbro’s Tiger Electronics this October (it’s available from SegaToys in Japan). Expect it to retail for about $500.
