Remember the Motorola phones called the RAZR?  They were popular, but they did not actually have a built-in shaver like the Rong Zun 758 has.  The bottom plate contains a working shaver and dual SIM card slots along with a 2.6″ touchscreen, 3 megapixel camera, MP3/MP4/FM music player, and Bluetooth.  The memory on the microSD slot can be expanded.

This past March, LG announced that about 1 million LG Arena phones were ordered around the world.  This was one month after the handset was originally introduced to the market.  The phone retails for €399 in Europe.  Now the company has made another milestone announcement.  About 2 million LG Arena phones have been ordered around the world.

This makes the Arena one of the most popular phones in 2009 along with the Apple iPhone 3G and Samsung OMNIAHD.  Since 2005, LG has shipped about 20 million QWERTY handsets.

Nothing says that you are here to be formal, but prefer to be dressed like a geek like the USB necktie. So far the USB necktie is just a concept created by designers at dialog05. Boy do I wish these were in production. I would wear this tie at every formal event possible, including weddings.

Brando.com is selling a unique type of memory card reader. The memory card reader resembles a Rubik’s cube. The cube is 270 degrees x 270 degrees and supports SD, SDHC, T-Flash, MMC, M2, MS, MS DUO, MS PRO, MS PRO DUO, and DX. It costs about $12. Not bad for one of the most uniquely designed memory card readers created so far.

The Xbox 360 sometimes overheats and bricks itself. Not only that but sometimes the Xbox gets a “Red Ring of Death” and no longer becomes functional at all. This can be frustrating for many gamers, but some people see it as an opportunity. For example, one person decided to take their dead console and make an arcade stick out of it.

Apple has received a new patent for a motion-aware iPhone interface that points out the possibility for a front-face camera. This potentially may be used for video chatting. The patent describes that the interface will adapt to a moving motion of an object or user. Perhaps this video on the phone will be able to communicate with people using iChat as well. Not bad, Mr. Jobs. Not bad.
