Dell Launches Best of Web Site
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, Editorial, Hot Deals, Internet, Movies, Music, PC / Laptop,
Dell has decided to get in on the Internet sales force with their new Best of Web site. Offering discounts, it includes categories of shopping, travel, games, music, movies, interaction, sharing and learning. The deal here is that if you are a Dell customer, you get a discount of up to 50% on purchases from Kodak, Wild Games, and Blockbuster, etc. While we are not all that impressed with the site for the general user, take a peek if you own a Dell.

We dig Minibar System’s SmartCube, a mini-fridge which is meant for hotel usage. In sizes of 22.71 x 15.83 (65W) or 19 (70W) x 17.75, it features blue and white crystal LEDs. The mini-frig comes with a remote contral with software to regulate locking, lighting, product expiration, inventory, and happy hour pricing. We like that last feature and although we realize this is too expensive for the average human, perhaps some entrepreneur will develop one for the rest of us.

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: HDTV, Home Entertainment, Misc. Tech,
While there are plenty of flexible cords and cables for computers, Panasonic claims they have the planet’s first “free-angle” HDMI cable. The device has a version 1.3a high data transfer speed and is meant for flat panel displays. The cable can move 180ยบ, which means you can reduce the 9cm of space usually needed behind a flatscreen to only 3 cm. Look for the flexible 1.5 and 3 meter cords to become available in August.

MobiFrance has devised a concept phone in honor of the French Independence Day. Designed to resemble their famous landmark, the FL (French Luxury) curved phone has a touch screen, a 7.2 megapixel cam, and speakers on its sides. The Eiffel Tower mobile device features vibration mode and can be used for all multi-media functions. No date or price yet available, but we suspect this phone will be popular with those who love the country as much as its inhabitants.
