The emergency charger, whether solar powered or not is a useful gadget to have lying around in the pit of your bag, as it’s more than likely that one day you’ll really *really* need it.

Mio today chose Computex as the venue to launch three new GPS devices, two of which push the company further into the smartphone market. The pictured Leap G50 is Mio’s first Windows Mobile 6.1 device and uses an iPhone-like design with a chrome bezel focused around its touchscreen: only a scroll strip and call buttons interrupt the front face. The phone keeps to Mio’s emphasis on navigation with the company’s MioMap 2008 mapping software onboard. A 2-megapixel camera is onboard and can be used to geotag photos thanks to the GPS hardware.
The G50 is built for a worldwide release and supports quad-band GSM calling as well as EDGE data, making it useful with both AT&T and T-Mobile in the US. An Asian launch has been set for the summer, though other releases are likely to follow.
Aliph today announces the eagerly awaited new Jawbone Bluetooth headset to the UK. The next generation Jawbone features breakthrough noise elimination technology to provide even better voice quality in a more stylish and ergonomic package, 50% smaller than the original award-winning Jawbone. It is available today at The Carphone Warehouse stores across the UK and online at www.carphonewarehouse.com and www.jawbone.com.
With the new Jawbone, keeping up with your mates, or your business activities, whilst on the move has never been clearer. Featuring military-grade NoiseAssassin technology, the new Jawbone is unmatched in its ability to address real-world noise it literally feels your speech with its patented Voice Activity Sensor (VAS). Jawbone uses the VAS to distinguish the sound of your voice from ambient noise with incredible accuracy and then uses proprietary Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms to subtract the noise so only the sound of your voice comes through.
NoiseAssassin was originally developed for DARPA (The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), which creates new technology for the U.S. military. It was designed to work in tough, battlefield environments, where clear communication is critical.
Making 5 megapixels in cameraphones redundant is this beauty from K-Touch. T 8 megapixel C280 with 3x optical zoom features 1600 ISO support and uses Canon’s own DIGIC III image processing. The phone was presented in the China market during CHITEC 2008.
