Verizon Will Censor YouTube for Cell Phones

November 28, 2006 | Posted by Allison as Cell Phones, Tid Bits & News at 8:28 am | (1) Comment »

Well, the word is in about the Verizon & YouTube relationship, & it doesn’t look fantastic.  According to Gizmodo, you will be able to access YouTube via your Verizon cell phone for $15 a month.

This deal is expected to be accounced officially later today & next month’s launch is highly anticipated, just in time for the holidays, eh?  But here’s the bitter drink, you will not be paying that precious $15 for the YouTube you know (and love), you will be receiving a video service from V Cast and will not be an exact replica of the YouTube website.

Hmmm, what do you make of that?  Still worth the 15 bucks a month?  I guess we’ll just have to try her out & let you know.

Satellite phones are traditionally known for being large, bulky & obtrusive.  But there is now, thanks to Globalstar, a new kid on the street.

Globalstar’s new GSP-1700 mobile satellite phones are the smallest, lightest phone that can access the global satellite network.  Although it looks like a shotgun met a cell phone, the GSP-1700 only weighs in at 7.1 ounces. 

The lithium-charged battery on the world’s smallest satellite phone allows users to communicate for up to four hours & features a standby time of 36 hours.  So, no matter where you are, you’re sure to be able to order that pizza; just not sure if you’ll be able to get it delivered!

MoPods Cell Phone Alert Gadget

The MoPod just goes to show you that they will make anything & try to sell it.  I know it’s rather cute, but completely ridiculous.

MoPods are adorable cell phone accessories.  Their function, besides looking cute & cuddly, is to spin & flash when your cell receive calls or incoming text, as indicated by the pic.

Cost for this teenage frivolity, $9.

Mobile Red Rotary Phone

I love having the best of both worlds & we can do just that with the Mobile Red Rotary Phone.  Ever miss slamming down the phone in anger or hearing that pre-cell phone ring?

Even if you love your mobile there’s no reason not to have everything you want.  All you have to do is insert your SIM card & it will utilize your mobile account to allow calls.  $500 is a wee steep for me, but you’re probably packing a walletful so, enjoy.

No More Drunk Calls: LG LP4100

August 9, 2006 | Posted by Allison as Cell Phones at 10:20 am | (2) Comments »

Say hello to your new friend, the LG LP4100.  Not only does this new LG have a breath analyzer to detect your blood-alcohol levels, it also sports a very handy feature to stop all this 4AM drunk calling to & from your pals.

When you blow into the LG LP4100 & you have a blood-alcohol level of .08 or more, the cell phone displays an animation of a car swerving on a road & crashing into traffic cones.  Actually, if I was drunk & saw this animation, I think I would feel like it was a good thing to try.

The new LG also has a feature where you can program the phone to not allow you to make those dreaded & sometimes easily forgotten 4AM drunk calls to all your pals.

No word as of yet on US premier, but I will most assuredly keep you updated.  Especially since I feel Macgyver could make use of this handy new tool.
