Many busy people become stressed when hearing the phone ringing often, and to help them with this problem, myredpacket.com has made available the new MoPods, some cute gadgets having a special characteristic to replace the ringing.

A MoPod is a new device type easy attachable to bags, belts, clothing key rings or directly to mobile phones and when someone calls the cute little characters start to flash, turn and spin to attract the attention of the person that wears them.

This type of “toy” is useful even when you are in a noisy place like a club or restaurant, where you can’t hear the ringing or where it would not be nice to disturb the others around you.
So keep you mobile phone in silent mode and check the MoPod.

myredpacket.com has introduced the Version 2 MoPods at $9.99 that includes 6 new characters, from a panda bear to a funny parrot and princess.

Those of you that live in the US have to check and see which model has the frequency that matches your phone, as these work only on GSM network and are not compatible with CDMA at the moment.

IXI Mobile from Canada, the expert in innovative voice and data mobile messaging devices and services, and in the same time the creator of Ogo devices family, has just announced that the exclusive Vodafone partner in Luxembourg, with more than 250 thousand subscribers, LUXGSM, is launching Ogo in Luxembourg, targeting the youth segment of the population.

Ogo devices provide a large range of applications such as email, IM, SMS, RSS, voice and Web browsing on optimized, easy-to-use handheld devices, and they are designed to enhance Web2.0 usability.

There is a revolutionary concept featured by Ogo devices, called OgoClip, consisting of replaceable, tubular components like a 2.0 mega pixel camera, a music streamer, a Blue tooth handset and even a bottle opener providing up-sell options to carriers and affordable add-ons to end- users.



This is what Marc Rosenfeld CEO of LUXGSM declared:
"We are excited to include Ogo in our offering. Young people in Luxembourg are extremely enthusiastic about taking their buddy list with them wherever they go, and since the majority prefer to IM over any other form of communication, Ogo is the perfect solution for taking their IM mobile."

Many expert groups and researchers are trying to prove that cell phones are harmful for the human body, but who could have known that such a thing might happen?

A Korean man died in an accident that seems to have involved his mobile phone.
Police and experts are trying to find out if the man died because of the explosion of his phone’s battery.

The phone brand was an LG and the explosion has punctured his heart and lungs, and his ribs and spine were broken.
The battery was found melted and this is not the first time when someone dies because of a phone battery explosion.
It happened before in China.

In the Korean case, the National Institute of Scientific Investigation declared that the injuries are too severe to be provoked by a phone battery explosion, while LG Electronics said that it is impossible and phone batteries can’t explode.

The autopsy report will be finalized in the next couple of weeks and then we’ll be sure of what caused the explosion exactly.

Do you believe in the possible danger of a phone battery?

The new version of Google Maps does not require GPS anymore.
You can now use the application to identify your position using the cell tower information triangulation.

There is a new feature called My Location that lets you use the application with or without GPS, with an accuracy of 1000 m, which is not so spectacular.

Localizing via Google Maps is working wherever the application is enabled for mobile, and you can install it on Symbian S60, BlackBerry and Java handsets.

For Windows Mobile the service is natively enabled and Google Maps for Mobile 2.0 is a testing version that can be downloaded from here.
