The lava lamp isn’t a recent invention as such, but they still sell sa favourable amount. The lamp contains wax, which when heated by the bulb, turns the lax almost liuidy and in effect, the wax ‘dances’ around inside the lamp. A bulb at the bottom of the lava lamp allows light and the heat to help ‘melt’ the wax. The lava itself comes in many different colours, as well as the liquid inside the lamp.

The shape can come in many different styles (including circular and oval), though the most common shape the lamp comes in is a rocket like shape.

The iPod is Apple’s first real music invention. It is an mp3 based gadget which is different to the standard mp3 players out there. The most notable is its appearance, coming in several striking colours (including silver, black, orange, blue, green and purple), as well as being slim and small. Secondly, and maybe more importantly is its music storage. The iPod storage can range from the simple 2gb (500 songs) to 120gb and even more!

iPods use a library system called ‘iTunes’ to store and edit playlists which in turn, form the music the user would favourably like on their iPod.

It wasn’t a total shock when Apple, the iTunes and iPod manufacturer and distributor announced its plans for a phone based ipod. The phone now on the market has become very popular for its difference compared to other phones, but more so for its applications.

The applications, also known as ‘apps’ are individual programs built into (or downloaded) the phone which allow the user to carry out hundreds of activities. The activities can range from Facebook, music library, football scores, the internet, ebay, calender, calculator, weather reports, and so on. Most iPhones are bought on contract although a new iPhone (bought as a pay as you go phone) is easily in the hundreds.

One of the never-ending debates about whether or not mobile phone emissions can cause tumours is once again being brought to light. This time the study results swing in the favour of cancer-free mobile phones.

It was originally brought up in the 1990s, where it was thought radio frequencies output from mobile phones may have a link to causing brain cancer due to their close proximity to the user.

This ‘nay or yay’ argument abut mobile phones causing cancer has gone back and forth many times, with the last big study in 2006 suggesting mobile phones with high levels of ‘radiation’ can cause tumours. This has now been contradicted by a Scandinavian study which showed no noticeable changes impacted by mobile phone usage on the number of cancer sufferers.

Twitter, the popular microblogging website, has unveiled a new interface that makes it more user-friendly for people who view the website on their mobile phones.

The portable version of Twitter can be accessed on mobile phones by pointing their web browser to mobile.twitter.com (previously m.twitter.com). This can only be viewed on a mobile phone, trying to go to that web address on your PC will cause the website automatically redirect you to the standard Twitter homepage.

A number of mobile operators in the UK may soon support free Twitter updates as part of a scheme being pushed by Twitter itself.

The Amazon Kindle 2, for those who aren’t aware, is a flat handheld tablet device that can be used as an electronic book reader (eBooks). Despite being mainly a book reading device, the Kindle 2 also features a web browser that lets you read blogs and other suchlike things.

There is an International version of the Kindle now available, though it is currently imported from the US (TAX!) and doesn’t support the free wireless web browsing that it does in its home country (how is that an international product?)

A recent firmware update for the Kindle 2 was released by Amazon, which improves the battery life of the reader by as much as 85% and adds a PDF reader and converter.

According to a survey undertaken by electronics retailer, Comet, women are now more confident with technology than males. This flips over the age-old stereotype that men are better with gadgetry than women.

The study showed that 48 per cent of women felt comfortable when it came to using new technology and gadgets, whereas only 47 per cent of men felt the same.

The fact of women taking dominance in the field of gadgetry is further reinforced by the fact the study found that 85 per cent of men believed that they were not the most capable person in the household, when it came to technology devices.

This could possibly turn out to be one those must-have quirky gadgets for Christmas. The Kymera Magic Wand Remote let’s you become your favourite wizard, be it Harry Potter or Merlin.

Using this ingeniously simple device, you can control almost any infra-red device by just flicking the wand, magician-style. You can program 13 different gestures to certain commands, so, for example, you could pause a DVD movie with an upwards flick of the wrist.

As with all gadgets, batteries are not included as standard, but it does come with a power-saving feature where it will go to sleep after a minute of being left alone. The Kymera Magic Wand Remote will then automatically power on again when you next pick it up.

Update: It seems batteries are included as per the comment below.

Mobile phone marketing chains, Carphone Warehouse and Phones 4U, have both stopped selling the Sony Ericsson Satio mobile phone amidst concerns over the stability of the Symbian-based software on them.

It is unsure whether it is a hardware of software fault, but apparently the phone simply switches itself off or restarts itself when suers try to run certain features of the mobile phone.

Sony Ericsson are claiming that a only a small proportion of the handsets have been returned with the fault. However, they also stated that an over-the-air (OTA) patch was not an option for the fault that is commonly occurring.

Dell are intending on releasing their first mobile phone to the computer market, with their Dell Mini 3 Smart Phone.

The Dell Mini 3 is only going to launch in China initially, but will then soon be moving to Brazil as well. The smart phone uses Google’s Android mobile phone operating system.

China and Brazil are thought to just be a starting point for Dell, as it is believed the computer manufacturer is also negotiating deals with many large mobile networks in other countries, including Vodafone in the United Kingdom. However, there is currently no expected timescale for these additional territories.
