NTT Docomo have just launched a bunch of new cell phones on the Japanese market and one of the models included in the summer collection is this cell phone for children named Kid’s Phone H1-01D.

From what I managed to read about it on the Japanese website, I learned that the phone will be available in mid-summer, featuring waterproof and dust-proof capabilities, a 2-inch main TFT LCD display with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixel and 65.536 colors, and the main functions of a regular handset. It will be available in yellow, blue and pink.

The developer is Huawei and the phone was designed especially for kids in lower grades of the elementary school and preschoolers. Other features include 250 minutes talk time, 450 hours standby, space for 10 contacts in the phone book, SMS support, GPS function to help parents find their children, automatic voice calls to three emergency contacts, and a security buzzer.

Called the USB Typewriter, the device replicates the way people used a classic typewriter, but this time on a computer, iPad tablet or a smartphone.

The idea comes from Jack Zylkin and enables the look and feel of an old mechanic typewriter. It works as a keyboard that plugs into one of the USB ports of your system, supporting functions characteristic to keyboards, such as CTRL, ALT, ESC, and the arrow keys.

Recently I received a few samples of an interesting phone accessory called Phone Lasso for this review and after using them for a while I think I have enough information to share. I’ve never seen something similar to the Phone Lasso before, so I guess it’s first of its kind. In a few words, this new mobile accessory is a good alternative to your cell phone case, but you can use both if you want to add extra protection for the casing and display.

While out, I always keep my phone inside the right pocket of my jeans because it allows me to take it out quickly whenever I need to call someone or answer a call. I insert my hand in the pocket, grab the top of the case, drag it out, take the phone out of the case and finally use the touchscreen to reach the phone’s functions. This takes time and is a bit annoying especially when I have to answer quickly, or when I wear tight jeans. You just need to be careful when dragging the phone out so you won’t break the case or scratch the handset.

The solution to eliminate this small problem that many of us have, is to use a simple phone case replacement that allows you to handle the phone easily. Phone Lasso comes in the form of a patch designed to be applied on the back of your phone, more exactly on the battery cover. It’s made from a soft yet durable cloth-like material which although measures 2 x 3 inch, allows you to adjust it to fit any phone model. You can trim to leave holes for the camera lens or for other small elements characteristic to your handset model. Then you can stick it easily, just like a phone skin or screen protection film.

In addition, the kit comes with a lanyard that you can attach to the patch to keep the phone hanging around your neck. What I like most is that now I can drag my phone out of the jeans pocket faster and that, unlike other sticky skins or films, the Phone Lasso is not affected by summer heat and humidity, so it doesn’t come off. Being so thin, it doesn’t make your phone thicker either.

You can find the Phone Lasso on the official website and pick a color that matches your phone’s battery cover. The patch is available in many color combinations and you also have the option to customize it with your logo. Phone Lasso kits can be purchased for $5.99.

Wi-fi doesn’t suit everyone, but if you’re considering setting up Ethernet cabling, there are a number of things you need to think about. Buying your Ethernet cables from a reputable provider like RS Components would seem to be the first step towards wiring your house. But there are a few things you need to do before parting with any money. Proper preparations will mean you avoid buying too much or too little. You might also be able to identify potential problems before ordering a bunch of Ethernet cables.

First off, which rooms do you want wired? It may be just you that’s using cables, in which case you only need to get enough to run to your own room. Think about where you’ll run the cables – behind the TV, where other cabling tends to hide, is often a sensible place to base your network.

How many ports will you need? If you have games consoles and a Blu-Ray player you’ll need a few connections to handle everything. A good piece of advice is to figure out the number of ports and add one or two, so that you don’t need to reorder anything in the future.

Putting the modem somewhere where it isn’t going to get in the way or be an eyesore is an important consideration. You might consider putting up a shelf to hold all the network equipment. Take measurements of the space you see this shelf being mounted.

One of the most difficult factors is what path to run your cables on. If you’re on a top floor with an attic, that can be a great solution. Equally, living above a basement can allow you to run the bulk of the cabling out of sight and out of mind. If you’re in a single floor apartment in the middle of a building, get creative with your cable paths. Remember, the maximum cable length for sending gigabits over UTP wiring is only 300 feet, which should be plenty – but only if you plan adequately! Measure the proposed cable path to make sure it falls within this amount.
