Ericsson to Triple EDGE Speeds by 2009 – Too Little Too Late?

As all the major cellphone players in the US are heading toward widespread EV-DO Rev. A and HSDPA deployment, we have to wonder what Ericsson is doing speeding up EDGE.

LG’s Chocolate flip has been on Verizon since late last year, but Alltel seems to be the first provider to get colored versions of these things.

All Giz Wants: Video Headsets That Don’t Suck

When it comes to watching movies, nothing beats sitting in front of a large HDTV. The catch is, not all of us can afford one. That’s where video headsets come in.

Itch Soother Might Just Scratch an Itch of One Kind or Another

This $17.98 Itch Soother looks like it’s able to scratch an itch, but not necessarily one caused by a mosquito bite. But that’s just what it’s supposed to do, using heat to allegedly stop itching and swelling from those flying, biting vermin. Yeah, it’s an Itch Soother. Just try explaining that to the guys when…
