If you’re not interested in trying something completely new from Rubik (like the Rubik 360), but maybe want an upgrade on your 35-yr old Rubik’s Cube, then why not get the ‘electronic’ version? Yup, there is now a touchscreen Rubik’s Cube.
No need to rotate the sides any more. Just swipe your finger along the face, and the colors update instantly. There is memory so that it picks up exactly where you left it. A bit pricey, but hey that’s the cost of progress!
Buy now!
Price: $149.99

PC World has a nice rundown of 10 touchscreen smartphones including some upcoming models. The phones run the gamut from the iPhone to the Samsung Omnia II and all the major US carriers.
Apart from its Windows Mobile OS, the Samsung Omnia II really has a nice set of specs. Now if only it ran Android… Hey Google and/or hackers, can you get on that? Meantime, Verizon users can get their hands on an Omnia now for $99 with a 2-yr plan.
If only we here in the US weren’t so caught up in cut-throat competition, then perhaps GSM might be a standard and phones wouldn’t be locked into specific carriers. Then you could get the phone you really wanted and use it on whatever network you had. If only…
We’ve had cameras with built in GPS so now it’s time for a GPS with a built in camera! Garmin have taken their award-winning Oregon GPS system and stuck a 3.2 megapixel camera in it with 4x optical zoom – enough to rival a lot of phones on the market today – perfect for those times when you’re trekking up a mountain and want to take a picture of the view but find your phone’s dead.
Enough about the camera, the GPS system is pretty advanced too – the built-in memory has enough room for 2,000 waypoints, 200 routes and 5,000 geocaches and comes loaded with 100,000 maps with 3D perspective rendering. Operation is via a 3-inch touch screen and can be mounted inside a car for in-vehicle use.
