The device in the picture looks more than interesting. It’s an all-in-one credit card concept that can replace all your current plastic cards. The One Card Electronic Card comes with a memory card slot that will let you upload all the details of the various credit cards you might own. And the turning knob lets you choose what card to use on your next purchase. The screen shows you exactly the copy of the real card and it even displays the back of the card on the other side. Once a payment is completed the receipt is safely stored on your memory card and you won’t have to deal with paper receipts again.

When will we see it in action? Will it be safe enough to be accepted by banks? Will hackers be able to get all your private information stored on the virtual credit cards? These questions will be answered once the concept becomes a real product. And there’s no telling if the One Card Electronic Card will ever be made!

Any mobile device is susceptible to any potential slowdown which could be attributed to a lot of different factors. The only problem is identifying the cause unless you can get your hands on a reliable software that can aid you in diagnosing the problem. And known that not all smartphone users are techie enough to figure out why their device would operate at a snail’s pace, here is one software made for Blackberry smartphone owners which should speed up their devices.

The MemoryBooster 3.0 has been rated by Fortune Magazine as one of the top apps for Blackberry Wireless handsets and aims to recover wasted memory which should be something common in today’s array of mobile devices. MemoryBooster can recover up to 15MB of memory per boost. So you can imagine the degree of aid that it can provide if this app is done regularly.

The MemoryBooster 3.0 is now available at the BlackBerry App World for download.

The brand may be a popular one but that doesn’t mean that they are immune to criticized handsets. That is what perhaps best sums up how the Nokia N97 Mini is as far as reviews from the critics are concerned. And among the main reasons for the thumbs down given to the Nokia N97 Mini is traced to its awful keyboard and downsized memory.

Up and close, the Nokia N97 Mini is a dead ringer for the N900. So if you compare both phones, why would anyone prefer the other one? In short, there may be little resemblance if no improvement at all if you are considering the newly approved N97.

The only thing going right now is what other features and pricing the Nokia N97 Mini has planned. Hopefully though there are more features to look forward to like perhaps a touch-screen feature? Keep your fingers crossed!

If there is a Cash for Clunkers program, then surely there will be one made for the iPhone. And on that note, CashforiPhones.com is offering a practically similar deal, offering cash of up to $300 for used 2G or 3G iPhones which are in good condition or not.

Yes you heard it right. They are also buying broken iPhones for the same amount, a deal that other companies are surely going to find difficult equaling. The amount gotten from this exchange would be great for consumers in buying a new iPhone 3GS in the market.

Unlike other companies, CashforiPhones provides the pre-paid, insured shipping box and packing materials. Once the seller receives a quote at www.CashforiPhones.com, he or she can receive a check or even an instant Paypal deposit.

What happens to the traded-in phones? CashforiPhones refurbishes them and recycles them. They erase the existing memory (if it is working) and then refurbished for re-sale to wholesale recyclers.

Despite Apple keeping the iPhone 3G S‘ hardware pretty effectively under wraps, it seems that T-Mobile Netherlands didn’t get the memo and posted up the above picture.

As you can see, the iPhone 3G S’ processor has been bumped up from 412MHz (found in the 3G) to 600MHz. As for the RAM, it’s been increased from the 3G’s 128MB to 256MB. Everything else, we already knew, 3MP camera with autofocus, video camera, 32GB capacity etc.

So, it looks like Apple’s claims of everything being at least 2x faster hold true at least judging from the hardware. We’ll have to wait until we get our hands on the phone to pass judgement.

The entry of a new iPhone this coming summer is nothing new anymore but if there is something worth noting is that of the price adjustments that stores as O2 is doing right now. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that these price drops are meant to clear out the inventory and make room for the highly anticipated new mobile phone expected for release this June or July at the latest.

The 3G iPhone will be free on its £35 and £45 per month tariffs from May. The 16GB version is currently only free on the £75 per month contract, while the 8GB handset is free only on the £75 and £45 per month deals.

The actual details and specs of the new device from Apple are fuzzy at the moment although some critics claim that it will be somewhat similar to the Nano-style device which compromises one of the carried features such as memory, the camera or screen size.

Whatever happens, you can be sure that there will be a new Apple handset this Summer. But for now, the price drops should be interesting, particularly for the people who have not yet had the chance to experience the iPhone hands-on. Best of all, you are getting a lower price on a brand new unit which makes the deal a whole lot sweeter!

One can never be too careful with one’s private data so one might want to try out Fujitsu’s Secure USB Memory Device which is supposed to protect all that data.

Besides the regular USB memory the device has a built-in battery and a chip which are needed to automatically delete the data after a certain period of time or if someone steals and tries to use it on an unauthorized computer. Not bad for an USB drive. I know I could have used that a number of times. We don’t have all the pricing and availability dates but we’ll keep you in the loop.

Lenovo announces a new kind of notebook in the Lenovo IdeaPad S10es. It is a 10 inch netbook that boasts of 250 x 183 x 28mm dimension and tips the scales at 1.1kg, placing it squarely amongst the rest of the 10in brigade.

The build quality and aesthetics evoke the more endearing traits of Lenovo’s legendary ThinkPad range, too. Its looks are, for instance, typically plain, but that’s no bad thing. The matte black lid sports a chunky silver Lenovo logo but otherwise there’s very little attempt at injecting any sense of style.

Cast your gaze around the rest of the chassis and it’s enlivened only by the traditional ThinkPad red and green 3.5mm audio sockets. Looks might not be everything but set the IdeaPad S10e next to the Samsung NC10 and, if a laptop could blush, the Lenovo’s cheeks would be ruby red.

Features:

Intel Atom N270 processor

1GB of memory

160GB hard drive

Wireless connectivity of 802.11g and Bluetooth

Price: £256

I am sucker for USB flash drives. The cooler it looks the more I’d want to get it. What I should be looking is storage space and transfer speeds right? Wrong! I evaluate the overall visual impression.

And today I found an USB sandal flash drive which would remind me of summer. If you’re happy with just 2GB of memory then go pick a sandal up. You can always get a pair of those if you need more space. The 2GB Sandal USB Flash Drive costs just $17. I’ll have a size 9 and 1/2 please!

For whatever reason, man has started to make smaller and smaller things. When it comes to electronics and gadgets that’s a good thing. Smaller means easier to carry around, easier to use at all times. It also leads to efficiency as better time management as one would be able to perform his duties at any time.

After I showed you a Wester Digital external HDD that can easily be added to your key chain, now we have a flash memory which can get lost in your coins jar. When I think of memory solutions, I think SanDisk even if there are others out there quite as good or better. They have announced today the availability of SanDisk Mobile Ultra, microSD, microSDHC and Memory Stick Micro (M2) flash mobile memory cards. They come in 2GB, 4GB and 8GB depending on your needs. SanDisk will enhance your smartphone’s performance by allowing you to add more memory space for your documents, maps, videos and music. And they look good.

But what I like most is the extra MobileMateâ„¢ Micro Reader that plugs directly into your USB 2.0. Just plug your microSD in and then your new stick goes into your USB for fast download. Oh yeah, that’s what I almost forgot. Download and upload speeds have been significantly improved or so they say.
Tell me if you find it anywhere for a price lower than their suggested $119.99.
