Apple iPhone to be released on Optus and Vodafone

May 15th 2008 23:00

The highly anticipated Australian launch of the much-hyped Apple iPhone has gathered some extra momentum in the past week or two with Vodafone and Optus releasing statements that they will be carriers for the popular mobile phone.

Not only does this confirm the iPhone does not have an exclusive deal in Australia (due to breach of local competition laws), it also hints at the possibility of unlocked handsets allowing its use on other mobile networks.

While both carriers have yet to confirm when the iPhone will be launched locally, rumours persist that the launch will take place after the Worldwide Developer's Conference (WWDC) in June where Apple CEO Steve Jobs is widely tipped to introduce the second generation iPhone with 3G compatibility.

If these rumours of a 3G iPhone are correct, it will likely be available in 8GB and 16GB versions just like the current model giving customers a total of four different models to choose from - if they all make it to Australia.

The Vital Jacket - a wearable garment for monitoring health and fitness

May 8th 2008 23:15

The Vital Jacket is quite simply, state-of-the-art stuff and something that you would imagine supremely fit health and fitness fanatics to be wearing in the year 2020.

The jacket is fitted with a hi-tech vital signs monitoring system that joins textiles with microelectronics to continuously monitor electrocardiogram (ECG) wave and Heart Rate for different fitness, high performance sports, security and medical applications.

Originally conceived for different clinical purposes such as hospitals for acquiring, storing and analysing (online or offline) several physiological signals such as ECG and heart rate, respiration, oxygen saturation, body activity and posture and body temperature, the production version has been extended to include normal life scenarios. All the data collected from the Vital Jacket is stored in a SD memory card for posterior analysis on the HWM Desktop application delivered with the device. This allows long term monitoring and users to define heart rate limits while a vibration alarm embedded in the T-Shirt can be used to alert the user of any changes to the predefined limits.

Elite sportsmen/women and patients which require long term monitoring of their physiological signals will be best suited for this garment. [vitaljacket.com]

A speaker with 'egg-cellent' sound

May 8th 2008 05:34

There's no question that the iPod and other MP3 players have revolutionalised the way we listen to music both on the go or at home when attached to a docking station or a set of speakers.

This egg shaped speaker and docking station by designer Nathan Gabriele is the perfect complement to your state-of-the-art iPod. There are four transformations for this speaker - charge, use in base, standalone and take out while the basic egg shaped can be unmounted to form two speakers, a subwoofer and a base for docking a MP3 player or for recharging purposes.

And when the need for portability arises, it also comes with its own custom-fit carry bag - we bet people will look on in interest at what you're carrying! [yankodesign.com]

The folding universal scale

April 21st 2008 08:30

If you've been out shopping for some scales lately, you'll find that there isn't much variation at all. The analogue scales are deemed too old school these days so all you'll find are ones with digital read outs and while some have funky glass designs, they're still hardly inspirational at all but why the complaints I hear you say? Afterall, if it gives you an accurate reading of your weight then it has done its job, right
