On February 16th, Samsung has revealed this new phone. It is a solar powered touchscreen phone made of recycled water bottles. So, it is free of harmful substances such as beryllium and phtalates. Energy is provided thanks to the solar panel on the phone but it is still possible to charge it like another phone ( the phone has also a normal plug). It has also a pedometer which will tell you about the number of trees you have saved while walking rather than driving.

In addition to this, the applications of this phone are the same that usual phones : connects to EDGE and 3G networks, takes photos (5 millions pixels), reads MP3 files , it is possible to listen to the FM radios,…

Two days ago, I have found a very interesting website. People can download 3DFlash image viewing with TiltViewer, a free web application to create picture galleries thanks to Flash format. In spite the fact that it is said to be easy to use, the realization of the galleries remain a little bit difficult. However, the result worth it. The most impressive for me, was TiltViewer but some of the other applications have important advantages : they are easier to use than TiltViewer, some supports Flickr photostream :Flash Gallery, dfGallery,…

Here is an exemple of the result when using a picture gallery TiltViewer.

For people who like to travel and share their experience with other people, the i-gotU Bluetooth GPS Travel Logger seems to be an ideal tool. We can consider various advantages of this product : you can have a Bluetooth Link to phone and PC, it is Water-Resistant (which constitues a great advantage for outdoor use and it is small and light.

But, for me, the main attractive aspects of this product are the followings. First of all, it is compatible with all the digital cameras and camera phones on the market (coolest GPS tracking gadget for the journey). Then, it permits to display a journey in three-dimensional Google Maps and Google Earth. Creating and sharing a live travel with people on a blog, a social network(Facebook, Myspace,…) or web albums(Flickr, Picasa) is also possible. Finally, @trip website will help you organize all your data information ( it is free for user of all GPS travel loggers).

To conclude, we can say that i-gotU will allow you to keep in mond very unique memories.

Daytum

Last day, I discovered Daytum when I was surfing on the web. It is a kind of web application closer to Twitter rather than Netvibes. In fact, Daytum is designed to communicate facts and events of your everyday life. It collects personnal informations and turn them into the form of widgets. You can also import data from other websites. One of the things you can do is to edit and display a chart showing the number of mails you received for the past seven days.

Last but not least, the design is really well done, minimalistic and attractive.

You just have to suscribe your mail on Daytum waiting for an invitation. I think I will apply for it these days and keep you posted.

How not to be short of energy wherever you are?
Thanks to USBCell rechargeable which is aimed to avoid using batteries and a charger. You just have to plug in the battery in a USB port. It is very easy and moreover you can get multiple benefits. First of all, you don’t have to travel with separate chargers and batteries.
Then, as soon as you find an accessible powered USB, the device can be recharged everywhere. It takes just a few minutes to be charged for hours of use. Charging them in a gamestation is also possible. Considering all the avantages, I am convinced these batteries have a huge potential for the future.
