Your very own red rotary phone, retrofitted with cellular access, a battery and a SIM card slot. Just the thing for answering at 3am when you’re on the go.

Jaiku | Rod Begbie

I’m taking a look at Jaiku — a Twitter-a-like status-sharer, but with deep integration into Series 60 cellphones. It can tell people when I’m on my cellphone, warn them that I’ve put it on silent mode, or tell them my location based upon the cell tower I’m connected to.

Fossil Bluetooth Caller ID watch

Cunning idea — a watch that connects to your watch via Bluetooth, then vibrates and shows caller ID information when you get a call or a text, so you don’t have to go raking through your pockets/bag for your phone. Of course, it’ll be a total battery drain, but a lovely innovation nonetheless.
