In modern world wireless technologies are getting more and more popular. Time is going faster and using cords becomes awkward and non-convenient. That’s why when a new gadget appears on the market it should have a possibility to be connected via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

Eastar Trading GmbH presented a new pocket keypad which looks much an electronic organizer or the TV remote control. Wireless keyboard eLive Micro Keyboard may work with any device that supports Bluetooth connection.

Small size of the keyboard and ergonomic design allow to carry it just in a pocket (the main goal is not to crash it while sitting). Neatly packaged keys and a small touchpad which has sizes 31 x 31 mm, with a resolution of 400 dpi, will ensure for its users as the company says, “a convenient time on the couch”.

It is obvious that this keyboard will be actual for users who are using new gadgets without keypads such as iPhone, iPad, Sony PlayStation 3, and for the lazy. Since nobody removed the ability to connect with an ordinary desktop of PC using Bluetooth technologies.

According to the official website of the keyboard the innovation of this keypad is as follows:

the backlighting makes it convenient to enter text, even in low light; high-power LiPol batteries which are used in the automotive industry, will keep a charge for a long time, up to a month; backlit of the keyboard makes watching a movie in the dark even more enjoyable (no need to break away from the couch to turn the lights).

Well, let’s wait until this thing will be found and estimated by its owners.

Instead of stuffing your pockets with a collection of gadgetry, how would you like one single device that did everything? What if I told you that it did not matter what your situation was in life, a student, a housewife, a businessman, this device (if you could afford it), would work for YOU? Enter the Apple iPhone. The iPhone contains all you need within one sleek unit – a device considered to be an icon in mobile PC technology. A mobile phone with attitude and up to 8GB of memory.

You don’t just get a beautiful looking piece of technology when you buy an iPhone, you also get access to many downloadable applications to extend its use even further. There are no buttons – no keys. It is all done on screen. A liquid crystal display provides for touch screen technology with an anti-scratch surface. Mobile technology literally at your fingertips.

So what can this lean machine do for you? What hides beneath? The iPhone is an entertainment system with film/video, games, internet surfing, it incorporates a camera and through personalization becomes the instrument to suit the user rather than the user having to adapt to use it. From a more businesslike perspective, it incorporates text messaging, email and visual voicemail. It’s WiFi internet connection just needs a hotspot or GPRS and you are free to make full use of internet services.

Although in no way being negative about the versatility and productivity power of the iPhone, there are currently two distinct disadvantages in the design. One is with regard to the battery and the other to memory slots – or lack of them.

If the battery needs charging, you cannot simply use a charger into your wall socket. You have to send the entire iPhone back to Apple and (unless it is still under warranty) pay a fee to have it replaced and cover the postage. Apple are working on this, but at the time of writing, no official method is available. There are independent battery kit replacements but they involve a technical approach rather than just slotting another battery in or providing a way to recharge the existing one.

The other issue is that you cannot add memory. There are no slots to do so in the original iPhone.

With an almost eerie intelligence and without the use of GPS hardware, the iPhone is able to track its own location utilizing signals from mobile phone masts and WiFi networks. The later 3G model has A-GPS built in but still makes use of the same system only with more accuracy.

All in all, if you want more space in your pockets and still have the capability of your gadgets, an iPhone just might be your ideal purchase.
