Spot satellite messenger

spotThis is a very cool gadget. Basically a gps, with the particularity that has a couple of buttons, one to check in, so it sends communicates your position, and the second one for help. Same thing but you are asking for help.
The beauty is that works everywhere, not dependent of GSM or mobile networks. It can send emails with your coordinates when you click on the button.

3G portable router

3g-routerThis is the first 3G portable router.

LevelOne 3G MobilSpot Portable Wireless HotSpot (WBR-3800) by CP Technologies.
Putt your 3G sim card into the router’s CardBus or USB interfaces and you’ve got an instant portable network for sharing to any 802.11b/g WiFi or Ethernet device. A 10/100Mbps WAN jack lets it double as your home router with auto-switching 3G backup for those of you with particularly troublesome DSL/Cable providers. The device measures 129 x 124 x 32mm (which isn’t that small) but costs a reasonable $149.

Sennheiser MM50ip

 I ordered my new set of earphones at internet.ch. If I buy in Switzerland I always compare prices in Switzerland with toppreise.

I had the same model without the mic manufactured by creative. I was really happy as the quality sound is superbe with no distortion at all.

In addition to this they isolate very well from the noise outside, so I decided to go and buy the model for the iPhone. 

It has been a week now since I have them and I am very happy. Same sound quality, and it is cool that you can use the little button to stop the music or with double click to go to next one. 

The only complain is the mic. Looks like it is worse than the one you get with the earphones that come originally with the iPhone. The person at the other side of the line often complains that cannot hear me properly.

In the overall I am very happy. I am addicted to music, podcasts and audiobooks, that I listen to everyday, plus during office hours I plug them into my macbook pro and I listen somafm all day. A cool feature is that in a mac, you plug them in the headphones jack, but the mic will work if you are chatting in skype for instance. Very cool. Very mac.
