Camera

WiFi umberella anyone?

WiFi is everywhere, literally, so just take a look at this hi-tech brolly by Pileus. Invented in Tokyo,no…never,it boasts a built in camera and soon to be video camera.

Fancy taking a few photos en route to your destination?  Well, they can be uploaded in minutes wirelessly to Flikcr and da daaaaa you can watch the photo-streams on your brolly screen with the flick of a wrist! Craziness, but really a) why would you want to do this and b) what happens if it’s raining?

It also has, wait for it, GPS and a digital compass which uses Google Earth to help you get around, quite impressive and also a bit of fun, i suppose?!

I’m looking to buy a new mobile phone - please help!

Dear Girl Geek…

Firstly I really loved the programmes on bbc3!! Was interesting and funny too!! But I also need your help. I’m looking to buy a new mobile phone but with what seems like millions on the market I just have no idea!! I like Sony Ericsson models but that’s as much as I know!!

Would really appreciate your help!!

Camera Charm by Tiffany

I’m just loving this geeky chic camera charm bracelet from Tiffany - although personally I would prefer it in silver (better still platinum) as this kind of gold is just not my thang.

Its 18 carat and the best bit is the little diamond for the lens that actually rotates! It is however pretty pricey - $1500 for the charm alone and another $1500 for the bracelet !!

Still its cute looking but not sure it would be my first charm of choice…

More Dior Please

For all you Dior die hards out there at last some images have emerged of the new Dior phone available later this year. The phone will initally go on sale in Russia and China the reason being there is greater demand for these types of phones over there - high design with an equally high price tag.

Specifications are still a bit sketchy but features will include a touchscreen, camera and special ringtones although not quite sure what constitutes a ’special’ ringtone’ ?!

The exciting bit is the clip on mini phone that comes with the handset aptly named “My Dior” . This connects via bluetooth to the phone so the user can answer calls more easily, sounds fun if not a bit gimmicky.

It comes in pink,red and white and the price tag - a bling -ing $5000 !

Control Freak ? Check out the new LG KF700

The new KF 700 from LG is slick looking and refreshingly easy to use and is all about control, there’s a touch screen a key pad dial and a jog dial so take your pick.

The 3inch touch screen is responsive, clear and a good size - although size isn’t everything girls. The menus are easy to navigate and very intuitive especially the text messaging, which for me is a biggie given how much of a text addict I am, although scrolling up and down on the longer messages was a wee bit tricky, as was adding the recipients name at the end.

I loved the return key function on each screen whenever you want to get back to where you started, always handy when you’re a bit lost and the folder choices on the main screen were really useful. Especially liked when you entered the first few digits of a phone number and the relevant contact names automatically appeared, v tidy.
