Chic Gadgets

Gadgets today come with really sensitive touch screens you don’t wanna scratch or smudge with your fingers; or much less lose your grip over such precious and expensive item, finding them smack down to the ground.

Environmental factors, such as the cool autumn weather, can sometimes make our hands all clammy, making grips harder and more prone to slipping. This is where the i5hot Gloves come really handy. Made of pure cashmere, it protects your iPhones, iPods and digital cameras carefully.

The glove also has a special feature, which allows you to use your fingers without having to take the entire glove off. Like so…

The bluetooth watch for ladies by Sony Ericsson looks like a fine piece of timepiece. I’m not exactly sure if it’s not a redundant gadget.

So, say you’re stuck in a meeting and can’t take calls from your cellphone…what do you usually do? Put your phone on vibrate right? If someone calls you up, you press the phone’s cancel button because that’s the prudent thing to do. Well the bluetooth watch also does that. It also has a caller ID, just like your cellphone.

With the headset, the bluetooth watch works like a cellphone which you can actually make calls with and it features the following as per this press release:

- Reject or mute call through the watch
- Vibrates on new SMS/MMS - and an out of range warning – when 10 m away from your phone
- Discreet yet clear caller ID - OLED display
- Play, pause, stop or skip a track on your phone’s music player
- Quartz movements for exact time keeping – both digital and analogue
- Auto pairing™ - easier to connect the watch to your phone
- Water resistant up to 3 ATM
- Allergy safe stainless steel
- Mineral crystal scratch resistant face with antiglare coating

In effect, it’s actually your cellphone twin, except only wireless and is conveniently in your hand (actually, wrist) all the time.

The design looks really pretty sleek though, which is probably the one other reason why someone would like to own one of this.

What’s a high end designer brand (Armani) doing, venturing into the cellphone industry? Apparently, this isn’t the first time Armani and Samsung has partnered to come up with a plush mobile gadget. They teamed up before and developed this tri-band touchscreen.

They are teaming up again for this latest model — a cellphone with night effect. The Samsung M75500 is powered with nothing really exciting: 120MB of internal memory, 2.2-inch AMOLED screen and 3.2 megapixel camera. But the night effect is supposedly what makes it incredible. They blink like Christmas lights.

But does anyone really have a use for it?

Here, take a look at the night effect.
