In case you’re wondering, these are not mouse mats that these people have on their T-shirts. This is new technology of United Kingdom Orange, and it may be that you must pay your mobile device.

It is therefore to use piezoelectrics with the absorption of sound vibration. I spend a branch here and guess that white torchons belly are “sound sponges”. I would also imagine that this technology is very effective if you are in the first row of a concert. Yes, you can now text and to take all the photos you want while deep bass feeds your mobile device.

Orange UK has designed sound battery T-Shirt for the Glastonbury Festival, and I do not know that he will make quite a splash it. I like the idea of power load a mobile device on something that I already have anyway. I guess it could be made slightly less garish.

The only thing I noticed on T-shirts, is that they never mix with the technology. I remember going to a convention and some people walked around with screens LCD on their T-shirts. You think that it would be cool, but it was not. LCD monitors were truly rigid compared to the T-shirt fabrics and shirts only play a clip video that got annoying after only five minutes.

If you see someone having a chat on their wristwatch you may decide they’ve lost contact with the mothership. Well, it beats us what you’d think when the mothership calls back. But maybe this little personality test will help us figure it out.

You find the idea of a video-call enabled wristwatch phone:
a) Cool
b) Fool-around cool
c) Downright mental
d) Man, not another Trekkie test!
e) Who cares as long as we make some buck out of it.

All right then, if you answered B, C or D it’s pretty obvious you’re not from LG. And hey, if you answered A, those who answered E will love to meet you.

Tick-tock, digital wristwatch phones are nothing new actually, but somehow we need to pull ourselves together and start taking them seriously. LG and Samsung do, so there must be something, right.

The LG GD910 for one is dead serious judging by that price tag they have there. Or shall we call it LG double O seven – not so much for the cloak-and-dagger form factor as for the license to kill your savings. Well, it does make some sense really: almost acceptable dimensions and all the basic phone features duly covered. Touchscreen, fast data and video calling on a wristwatch – go ahead and call it crazy but you’d still be interested.

So, let’s check out that specs sheet then, shall we?

Key features:

• Wristwatch form factor with a leather strap
• Water splash resistant (we’re still raising the 900 euro needed to test it)
• 1.43″ capacitive touchscreen display with a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels
• Comes with a Bluetooth headset
• Excellent sunlight legibility
• Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support
• 3G with 7.2Mbps HSDPA and video-calling
• Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP
• 2GB onboard storage
• Video call camera capable of making photos in VGA (640 x 480 pixels) resolution
• Flash UI, optimized for finger usage
• Text-to-speech enabled (no Klingon support as of yet)
• Voice commands
• Flight mode

A white-clad Samsung Galaxy has just recently leaked online. The Android running gadget looks pretty nice in its new clothes and resembles the HTC’s Android line, which widely uses the white color scheme.

The I7500 Galaxy is the first Android-based device announced by Samsung. It hit the stores last month, but the only official color known until now was the black one. Samsung has a whole lineup of similarly looking phones such as S8000 Jet, I8000 Omnia 2, B7610 OmniaPRO and S5600 so we find the change quite fresh.

The I7500 Galaxy runs on Android 1.5 and sports a 3.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen, 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, 8GB internal storage and microSD slot. All possible connectivity is onboard – quad-band GMS, 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth and microUSB.
