Hasta La Gadget!

All of the hands-free headsets in the market today aren’t really “hands-free” because you still have to hold your phone. And because of that, they make answering calls difficult when your hands are busy doing something else.

If you’re looking for a truly hands-free headset, then you’re in luck because the GoJo is here. It’s a headset with a suction cup on one end, where you’re supposed to stick your phone on when you need to answer a call.

When you’re done and the headset is already on your head, just continue whatever it is you’re doing while possessing full use of both your hands.

Check out the video to see how the GoJo Hands Free Cell Phone Headset works. If you’re not yet sold on the “truly hands-free” idea, then maybe the commercial will because the guy who shows them off is really good at what he does.

You can get a pack of 2 GoJos from Amazon for $9.59.

I think I’m like most people out there in that I like shopping online, but I hate waiting for stuff to show up. Shipping takes too long and more often than not, many places don’t ship the same day you place the order, and express shipping can really add up. eBay has a new iPhone application that has launched in beta called eBay Now. This app takes online shopping to the next level with cheap same-day delivery.

EBay now has six featured stores including Macy’s, Toys “R” Us, Target, Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, and Best Buy. The beta is currently by invitation in the San Francisco area. All stores that are partnered with the app are participating for San Francisco residents between 9 AM to 9 PM Monday through Saturday and from 9 AM to 6 PM on Sundays.

The way the app works is that users go to one of the participating stores, find the product they want, and then pay for it and enter the delivery address. The coolest part is the delivery address can be home, office, or the bar down the street. According to eBay Now, many items will be delivered to you within the hour, and up to 30 minutes from the close of each store. Beta users get $15 off their first eBay Now order and free shipping on their first three orders. After those first three orders, the delivery fee is five dollars, which is still a bargain for same day delivery.

Having compared an iPhone 4S and an iPod Touch next to each other, I can confirm that I’d rather carry around an iPod Touch since it’s very thin compared to the iPhone. That sentiment will make even more sense once you pop FreedomPop’s Freedom Sleeve case onto your iPod Touch.

The Freedom Sleeve gives your iPod Touch access to a 4G network, allowing you to use it like you use your iPhone – except on a fast, modern network. You can Skype, chat, message, and make phone calls. You can even share the signal with up to eight other devices, providing a Wi-Fi mobile hotspot.

The FreedomPop network is free for the first GB. After that, you’ll pay $10 per GB. The upside of this deal is that you don’t need to have a contract and that you can cancel it anytime.

The case costs $99(USD) and it’s aimed at people who travel a lot who are looking to ditch their cell phone contracts. If you’re interested, the Freedom Sleeve is now available for pre-order in select markets.

Despite the millions of dollars of profits that it’s raking in, Apple still hasn’t come up with a way to include native support for physical controllers in iOS games. The best that we can hope for is for a gamepad manufacturer to step up and get support from developers. I really hope Bladepad does that.

The Bladepad is a Bluetooth 4.0 gamepad that comes with all the buttons and sticks present in a modern console controller: a D-pad, two analog sticks, four face buttons, four shoulder buttons and even a select and start button. It comes with a case, but you can detach the Bladepad itself if you choose. It even comes with a charger that can simultaneously juice up the controller and the iOS device that it’s attached to.

Now for the bad news. Because it uses Bluetooth 4.0, the Bladepad is only compatible with the iPhone 4S and the new iPad. Worse, as of this writing the controller is confirmed to work with – drum roll please – only one game.  The makers of the controller did say that they’re working with “several major game studios and many independent studios as well.” I really like how the Bladepad looks and fits, so I hope it gets widespread support from developers.

A pledge of at least $59 (USD) on Kickstarter gets you a Bladepad, but if you ask me I think you should pledge less than that. You might be stuck with a beautiful controller that has no games to control.

Tokyoflash has got a great track record of turning user-submitted designs into reality. This new concept watch created by Peter Fletcher from the UK looks pretty cool, and if enough of you guys like the design, it could be produced some day.

Peter says that the layout of his concept watch is supposed to remind you of the way that subway maps look. When you push a button, the LCD watch will light up thanks to animated chain links, which will help display the proper time. The first “stop” on the line is the first digit of the current time, and so forth. This seems pretty straightforward and you’d probably get used to reading the time like this quickly enough.

If you like this concept watch and would like to help make it real, head on over to the Tokyoflash Design Blog and vote for it.
