Samsung F110 Adidas Phone

The Samsung F110 Adidas Phone will make its debute in the telecomworld in November. It is a 2.5G slider with a 2-inch QVGA screen, 2MP digicam, FM radio and MP3 player. The handset also features a heartbeat monitor, pedometer and some dedicated sports applications. The best part is that this phone will be released next month.

The owner of the device will mainly not use the internet and e-mail while playing sports. However, the device can still handle this. Small disadvantage here is that quick dataconnections will not be possible with this device, this because the device is only a quad-band EDGE phone. In some European countries this means that data connections can only be made with GPRS.

Samson USB mic: Karaoke Anyone?

The Samson G-Track USB microphone is a condenser microphone. It has a built-in interface and mixer to record your terrible vocals as well as instruments. The mic works hand in hand with the Cakewalk Sonar LE software or Apple’s GarageBand. It’s very easy to use, you just plug in your noise-maker to the unit and the mic plugs into your mac or pc and just play and go! Music is made; or in some people’s case a tone-deaf deluded pipedream. It’s available now for $264.
