As of July 2006, it was estimated that there are over 2.4 billion cell phone users worldwide. That’s a big number, right? Well, take this into consideration; In the month of March, there were 15.6 million new cellphone users in India. That’s just one month alone.

Now this isn’t a completely random expansion as Indian service providers have begun expanding their networks to a larger portion of country.

Honestly though, 15.6 million new cellphone users in 1 month? That’s just nuts!

While other players are looking to take a few more millimeters off their handsets, Samsung has done a complete 360 and produced the world’s largest cell phone, which can be seen (and used for free) at Fidelity Plaza, Chicago.  Modeled around the r450 Messager that saw a release last August, this is an attempt by Samsung in collaboration with Cricket to nab the largest “working” cell phone record in the Guiness Book of Records, which measures a ginormous 15 feet wide by 13 feet tall.  Drop by and make a call for free on this giant if you are in the vicinity, as you may never get an opportunity to do it again.

No prizes for guessing what designer Juyoung Kim was up to when he dreamed up this fantastic concept.  The Cyon Whiskey aims to be a chameleon of sorts and changes to different shades of whiskey based on the distance of the caller from you.  So, if person calling you is overseas, the phone will take on a darker hue as compared to a call originating from your locality, which is designated a milder shade.  Don’t even go into details like how the phone can detect distances, but just know that changing colors wouldn’t be its only high point as the Cyon Whiskey is loaded with a full touchscreen display and an 8-megapixel camera.

This concept is not that ingenious. With winter and cold days ahead, people are wearing thick clothing and this can go as far as their hands. However, it remains, that for some gadgets like the iPhone, fingertips to control or navigate your way through them needs the actual touch of the human fingers. Hence, cut off the top pieces of a glove and you get the Etre Touchy Gloves being sold for £14.99.

These are acrylic gloves with the tips of the thumb and forefinger exposed. That way you can still use one of Apple’s fashionable gadgets - such as the Ithingey or Ipod - while the rest of your hand stays lovely and toasty.

To help parents in properly monitoring the whereabouts of their kids, a new device called the Num8 (pronounced as “new mate”) has been unveiled by Lok8u. This new device takes the place of the standard mobile phones which have been discouraged for use by kids due to health reasons.

Equipped with the proper GPS tracking, this device comes with great features for the parent who want to keep track of their kids.

If the strap is removed from the child’s wrist parents get sent a text message and/or e-mail straight away informing them this has happened. The service also has a safety zone feature. So if your child is attending a party at a friend’s house, is in school, or playing in your local neighborhood, you can setup boundaries around those areas. If the watch passes outside of those boundaries a text message and/or e-mail is sent to you. You can also vary the boundaries based on time or day of the week allowing for regular movements.

The Num8 GPS is priced at $218 in the market along with a monthly $7 subscription fee.

At first they were rumors but if this new device from Ninentdo, the new Nintendo DSi, does come out this April then expect a lot of people looking into this handy device. A successor to the Nintendo DS Lite, this latest offering is 12 percent thinner and comes with two VGA digital cameras.

It also comes with better speakers, a power button instead of the switch found on the DS Lite, five brightness settings, a new SD card slot for data storage and multimedia content, the ability to update firmware when needed, and 256 MB of internal flash memory.

One downside to it though is that the battery can only last 16 hours compared to the DS Lite’s standard 19 hours. The reason behind this is the additional brightness settings feature that the DSi comes with.

The SATY MP3 Player with Breath Analyzer maybe a weird looking concept gadget but for people who want to pair personal audio entertainment along with some bonuses, this is a device worth checking out. The exterior design leaves a lot for potential improvement though.

This multi-featured device is a great gadget to consider. It is a handy device that you can take anywhere and among their other features include that of:

1. Flashlight
2. Radio
3. Mosquito Repeller

The only thing missing is perhaps the kitchen sink. But then again that would be something that can be integrated in the future when and if someone does consider it.

Have $700 burning a hole in your pocket? You’ve got just the place to spend it now, as Monster is now charging $700 for a pair of $350 headphones… painted white.

The headphones in question are the recently announced Dr. Dre Beats headphones, which are actually decent, noise-cancelling miniature boom boxes. Monster has teamed up withs ome guy named Ron Herman to bleed the money out of your pocket by offering up white versions of the black headphones in a limited edition run.

With the economy in recession, it doesn’t make sense how one can actually spend $700 on headphones that can be had for $350. But then again, it’s your money and your call.

Tired of those grainy, noisy webcam images of you whoring yourself on the Internet? Well, Samsung has something in store for you – the company has announced a new ¼ in CMOS sensor that produces 720p images at a full 30fps, and VGA (640×480) video at 60fps. Samsung somehow managed to preserve low-light performance at such resolutions and framerate on such a small sensor using a technique called “binning” where certain pixels are deactivated and grouped together to help gather light for active pixels.

The sensor has been designed for use in both laptops and desktops, with hope that it will go into manufacturing in the first half of 2009. 720p webcams in mainstream notebooks? Now that would be awesome.
