As you might have seen in the Apple’s big announcement, the 3G iPhone will be released on July 11! This includes Canada, and the price for an 8GB 3G iPhone will be a scant $199, while the 16GB version will only set you back $299! This is only partially surprising: first, the hardware itself is cheaper than the one in the original iPhone. Apple also had the time to cost-reduce its hardware platform and negotiate better prices overall.

Finally, the real money that Apple will make is in the wireless subscriptions, not the hardware itself. Apple wants to compete with Blackberry and to increase the market share! Overall, I think this is a good move - not only benefit us as consumers but it benefits the 3rd party software developers, and phone service carriers.

Bike thefts are getting overwhelming in Canada, and do you wish you can carry your bike rather than park it outside? A new bike has been created which can be folded up and carted around easily. It is named the Swissbike and has a full size 26″ wheel, is as durable as a regular mountain bike, but simply folds up to store away in your car or bring it indoor!

The bike aims to be an in between for cycling and commuting. Due to the rising costs of fuel more people are looking for a cheaper way to travel to the office. Overall I am very impressed with the look of this bike, and from what I read it’s built strong too.

Alarm clock is something we need daily and last time I reviewed the Puzzle Alarm Clock and the runnable clocky. Since we are so attached to computers, and every computer have USB ports, someone came up with a USB washing machine alarm clock - I know it’s weird.

In the centre drum area you can see the LCD screen which displays the time.

You may wonder what’s next after the Touch Diamond? Well, HTC unveils the HTC Touch Pro! (Next Generation of the infamous HTC Touch) It sure is another hot smartphone considering the specifications crammed in! Some folk claim that this is better than the recently launched Diamond, (should be better) but I’ll let you draw your own conclusions. All I can say is, this is one highly desirable handset. Notice this has a Qwerty keyboard where the Diamond is lack of.

Seagate confirmed that they will enter the SSD market but maintain its development of the traditional hard drives. In fact, they will sell those 2TB HDDs in early 2009. CEO Bill Watkins has described the upcoming solid-state drives as intended for enterprise use, the only market segment, he claims is willing and able to stump up the premium.

I’m a fan of HTC, in fact, I own a HTC Touch. It works perfectly with most of the applications including my favourite “Windows Voice Command 1.6“. (Download it free here)

DigiTimes has it that HTC has already shipped its first shipment of over 10,000 Touch Diamond mobiles to Hong Kong CSL, which has consequently sent our saliva glands into overdrive. The report continues on to say that deliveries to European / Asia-Pacific operators should get going in June, though no further details were mentioned. Meanwhile, North Americans are left to weep softly to keep from embarrassment.

This beauty appears in the movie of Iron Man which can go head to head with the Porsche and TT. Audi has already managed to work some LEDs into a few of its cars (concepts and in production), but the automaker has gone all out with its latest Audi R8, which employs LEDs for seemingly every lighting function. That includes the 24-LED running lamps the R8 had before, along with some brand LED high and low beam headlights, and LED turn signals, which add up to some 54 LEDs in all. Driving this car will be shined at night! Given the prices that single LED bulbs demand these days, it should come as no surprise that this is quite the pricey option, with it adding a full €3,590 (or about $5,560) to the R8’s already lofty sticker price. It’s a must upgrade if you got the cash
