The xPhone will decimate all mobile devices! [Video]

Having as many things as you can think of crammed into one device seems like a gift from above. But often times, such gadgets often suffer from “jack of all trades, master of none” syndrome in that no single feature stands out for being amazing. A phone stuffed with a bajillion mediocre features is far from exciting and in fact quite frustrating and disappointing. Thankfully we can always dream about the “xPhone” — a do it all, no compromises mobile device that fits everything inside. Hell, the kitchen sink might even be in there somewhere. We joke now, but someday such spoofs will be more reality than we can even fathom. In essence, the video and the creator do a good job highlighting how at times, we nerd scan be a bit impractical and silly when feature support is concerned.

As for the xPhone, I say bring it on. Though I don’t think I’d lose too much sleep if the VHS option was left out. I haven’t touched one of those in years. Anyway, the day I can whip out my 30″ iMac from a case the size of a stick of gum is the day I can claim to truly have seen it all. What’s your digital drug?

LG GM200: Dolby and FM Tuner inside

With all of the tech loving world continually lusting after highend and most of the time expensive phones, it makes sense to take a step back and look at some less than top end models for the broader range of what people can actually afford.  Today’s phone ’0 bargin comes by of LG in the form of the LG GM200.  While it doesn’t have any whizbang features that launch to the head of the class, it does have a respectable set that will get you though the day no less.  Those more frugal features include a 2MP camera, Bluetooth 2.1 A2DP, and microSD card support.  Two noteable features include an FM Tuner for when you get tired of listening to your own tunes and Dolby audio.  The mention of Dolby audio perks my ears up a tad as I consider myself border line audiophile.  Normally, audiophiles don’t like things that “color” music.  However, in the case of mobiles, the sound sucks to begin with so a little color couldn’t hurt.  If this at all excites you prepare to either swim or fly as it is only launching in Ukraine for the time being.  *sigh*
