<div align="left">Literally it contains (I think) a lot of screws, however, I just love collecting watches from Tokyoflash and I find it amusing to figure out the time, but this clock (Not by Tokyoflash) will make people wonder around it trying to figure out the time.<br />The name is: Clock Delay. And I guess that it&#8217;s a good name since it will make a great excuse if you&#8217;re late to work trying to figure out the time.<br />But you must have a real good job to be able to buy it at the market price of almost $2000

<p class="note"><span class="notelab">USAGE NOTE</span>   For more than a hundred years, critics have remarked on the incoherency of using <i>literally</i> in a way that suggests the exact opposite of its primary sense of “in a manner that accords with the literal sense of the words.” In 1926, for example, H.W. Fowler cited the example <i>“The 300,000 Unionists … will be literally thrown to the wolves.”</i> The practice does not stem from a change in the meaning of <i>literally</i> itself—if it did, the word would long since have come to mean “virtually” or “figuratively”—but from a natural tendency to use the word as a general intensive, as in <i>They had literally no help from the government on the project,</i> where no contrast with the figurative sense of the words is intended.</p>

<p>As many of you may already know, I am anti-Apple! Therefore, I DO NOT like the iPhone, nor do I like its little successor the iPhone 3G. What  amazes me is that all my friends are trying to defend it!</p>
<p>The Pocket  PC has been around forever, though it never had the hype that came with the  overmarketed iPhone — the only reason so many know so little about what it  can do.</p>
<p>But don’t get me wrong — I’m no Microsoft fan, either. Whether  it’s Windows or Linux — my own new computer is Ubuntu powered and I am  very happy with it so far — I just don’t like being controlled and limited  by the lack of options that any Apple product offers. I will explain more  about Macs and iPods in a future post.</p>
<p>The main reason I dislike  iPhones is the presence of little to no flexibility for third-party  applications. Yes, there’s the App Store — but why pay for an app on the  iPhone 3G that you can get gratis for Windows Mobile?</p>
<p>Yes I admit  that most pocket PC’s used to be big and bulky and they used to be limited to  their processors speed, but that’s all history now.<br />
I’ve reviewed a couple of  Windows Mobile-based phones, but no gadget from any manufacturer got a  dropped-jaw reaction until today, and the device that did it was not  Cupertino’s baby but the Touch Diamond from HTC.</p>
<div><img style="max-width: 800px;" src="http://guruofsales.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/htc-touch-diamond-wm6-phone.jpg" alt="" width="403" height="399" /></div>
<p>HTC has launched its answer to Apple’s smartphone juggernaut; that answer is  the?HTC Touch Diamond.</p>
<p>Though similar in form and function, HTC’s  offering is far superior in many respects. First, HTC brought an innovated  interface dubbed TouchFLO 3D to the device, bringing the contents and  functions of your phone close to hand with convenience and style. But they  didn’t stop at a better interface. They pushed the envelope further with  features like intelligent ringer selection: Place the Diamond face-down on a  flat surface and your phone will “go to sleep.” For more of the Diamond’s  groundbreaking<br />
features and functions, <a href="http://www.htc.com" target="_blank">go here</a>.</p>
<p>Will the HTC Touch  Diamond be a major contender for the iPhone 3G’s title this summer? The world  will decide, and we’ll be here watching; the Diamond dropped in Europe in  June with release in the rest of the world coming later this year. (Or take a  look at Amazon for unlocked devices.)</p>
<p><strong>Here is the product description from Amazon:</strong></p>
<p>The HTC touch Diamond rivals the iPhone yet again. HTC&#8217;s new flagship<br />
phone has virtually every feature available! The huge 2.8 Inch<br />
touchscreen LCD has an impressive 480 x 640 resolution, perfect for<br />
showing off the vivid pictures you can take with the built in 3.15MP<br />
camera. The all new TouchFLO 3D finger swipe navigation is the most<br />
elegant interface we&#8217;ve ever seen on a Windows device to date. The 4GB<br />
internal hard drive gives you plenty of room to store movies, pictures,<br />
music and Windows Mobile 6.1 programs, and the 528 Mhz processor will<br />
burn through any task you throw at it. But that&#8217;s not all the Diamond<br />
manages to offer! A-GPS is built in so you&#8217;ll never get lost on the<br />
road. Need to get connected? The Diamond has WiFi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth<br />
2.0 with A2DP, HSDPA 7.2Mbps (EU and AS only) and EDGE. The list goes<br />
on and on for this amazing HTC phone, and it&#8217;s even thinner than the<br />
iPhone!</p>

<p>This is the first in many to come posts of cool geeky gadgets that you might also find useful for business.</p>
<p>This one here is a great gadget, simple and have enough features to compete with the iPhone.</p>
<p>Designer Roman Tubl set out to conceive a cell phone that&#8217;s easy to use and a pleasure to hold. Throw in a strip around the side that glows red (I like the black with glowing red combination), a slick touch screen and a cool logo, and you&#8217;ve got some serious pocket toy as well as some great options.</p>
<p>Looking at the design, I imagined holding it to my ear and having a conversation, thinking how easy the curves are to hold to the human ears, don&#8217;t you think?</p>
<p>Of course this is a concept phone, but I think it&#8217;s very doable. The concept includes the surface of the phone which consists of a flexi true color display for tactile touchscreen feedback. You’ll also notice the standard data ports like Bluetooth, USB, and Wifi in addition to a 3.2 megapixels camera and a snazzy amount of memory of 4 GB.</p>
<p>All credits go to designer Roman Tubl.</p>

<div>A new toy just came out from Sony Ericsson. I won&#8217;t call it an iPhone equal, but it&#8217;s a great competition to O2&#8242;s Ocean or the T-mobile sidekick.</div>
<div>The new product line is called: XPERIA. To start, Sony just launched the XPERIA X1 with a full QWERTY keyboard, 3 inch touchscreen, Wi-Fi and a full 400 MB of storage memory. Also the new phone have a microSD support and was built with a modified windows mobile version (which I like a lot) and so far I heard that it will be available locally sometime this summer and should be able to work on every network in the U.S. and Europe.</div>
