VoIP has been ushered onto the iPhone in quite a few incarnations, but we’d wager than none of ‘em are as useful as iCall. Said application is currently in beta form, though a release isn’t quite ready for the public at large. Put simply, it enables iPhones to switch from GSM to WiFi (when WiFi is nearby, of course) on-the-fly in order to save cell minutes and bypass the hassle of manually changing over.

You might have seen a few WiFi signal boosters around which were hacked together from baked bean cans or other similar items. If hackery is not your expertise then this WiFi signal booster comes ready made for you to increase your wifi signal by 600%. The dish adapter is Hi-Gain and can extend signals a huge amount compared to some boosters. What this does is two things. You can either connect from a super long distance away to your wifi network, or at the same time, take advantage of a super strong signal which in turn, keeps data transfer speeds as quick as they Read more… »
Elektrobit is bringing satellite phones to the masses with its new Satellite/Terrestrial Reference PDA Phone. Gone is the bulky antenna sported by satellite phones of yore, replaced with a sleek, qwerty-keyboard PDA look that’s just a touch thicker than a Blackberry 8800.

The phone will run on HSDPA, quad-band GSM/EGPRS and satellite networks. Talk time is 1.3 hours on satellite, 3 hours on Read more… »
Picking up a camera with built-in WiFi not good enough for you? How’s about a point-and-shoot with integrated GPS? DigiTimes has it that Altek, a Taiwanese ODM / OEM maker of digicams, has just unveiled a camera with an 8-megapixel sensor, 3-inch touchscreen and GPS. The latter will enable users to “automatically record the longitude and latitude of where a picture is taken,” giving the geotagging crowd one gigantic reason to take notice. Read more… »

One thing I find frustrating is bad quality mobile phone calls, or dropped mobile calls. In areas where cell signals are low the best way is to either change network providers to someone’s who does work, or use one of these mobile phone signal boosters. The device is quite small and measures about the same size as a sandwich box. You simply stick it next to your window and any signal that it can pick up is suddenly boosted to allow more clear conversation.
The signal booster will give you 2500 square feet of prime signal area which is a nice amount Read more… »

Generally speaking, the state of broadband in the United States sucks. Hard. You know what sucks harder than your crappy DSL line? Satellite internet—it’s stupid expensive and super slow. Except in Japan. The Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency is reporting that their tests of the world’s fastest satellite internet—155Mbps downstream to homes, and 1.2Gbps to businesses with properly endowed antennas—have been successful. Not only to they plan to cover all of Japan, but a fair bit of the Read more… »

Bluetooth is a great way to transfer files between your phone and another. Many pictures have been sent by using this protocol. It’s only draw back is that the average range is somewhere between 10 and 100 feet which is often not enough to communicate across a large office.
This Bluetooth dongle is different as it can give extra coverage of up to 300 feet in version 2.1+EDR of the Read more… »
