Phone to the wall

phone to the wall
No one likes all these telephone wires that are everywhere. At the same time everyone is in the habit of pacing the floor with a telephone receiver in his/her hand. That's why a lot of different wireless phones where designed. Yet, the fact that they are wireless means that sometimes you have to recharge the receiver.

A new concept that will help to solve this problem appeared. Both telephone receiver and charger have no wires. Moreover the charger is very compact. So, in order to charge it you just have to insert the charger into the wall outlet and attach the receiver, which has a big hole in the center. Thus, the charger that has a lot of light-emitting diodes on it serves as a receiver holder too. LEDs will help you to find it easily in the dark. Design of this gadget can be considered as its significant advantage, because it's really very stylish and looks more like a high-end cell phone.

However, frankly speaking, this concept can not be regarded as something extremely original, because it does not perform any unusual functions. So, most likely it will attract people's attention just because of its interesting and stylish design.

Logitech's Squeezebox Duet

Logitech's Squeezebox
You've had ample time to mull over the specs and even take a glance at Logitech's Squeezebox Duet on video, but if you've still been holding off until a legitimate review gave you the final thumbs-up, here goes. According to CNET, this network digital audio system has a remote worth swooning over, very satisfactory file support and a certain charm that's only truly experienced when tuning into internet radio stations (yeah, it does that too). 'Course, not everything was entirely rosy, as the scroll wheel was knocked for being unresponsive at times and of course, the inability to play nice with DRM-strapped files from the iTMS or Zune Marketplace (among others) was somewhat of a letdown. Still, for those dealing with tunes that are free and clear of restrictions, the Duet seems like a solid choice -- hit up the read link for more proof.

Actually it's not so cheap, but in comparison with the previous Vertu models - 88 and 130 thousand of US dollars, respectively - this price can be considered as a reasonable one.
