Thanks to a fascinating appearance, the LG Chocolate has all chances to become a bestseller, even if it is not equipped with many impressive technology features.
<-300×250 Medium Rectangle – center->
The LG KG800 Chocolate is another slider mobile phone made by the Korean Company, a mobile phone who is designated for those people who want to keep in their hands a great cell phone with a great luxury design. This LG cell phone has a case made of resistant plastic painted in a glossy dark black very resistant against scratches and dust. Some people say that this cell phone will lose the shine if you use it intensely. That is not true because this cell phone is covered with a special polish which helps keep that shiny aspect for a long time. With 95 x 48 x 15.2 mm in dimensions and 83 grams in weight, it is certainly a very slim and light mobile phone, so you will feel comfortable using it. On the front side, the LG Chocolate comes with a 2 inch TFT display and below it, several touch sensitive navigation keys. These keys are very responsive even at the weakest touch so you will have a great experience using it. These keys, having a nice red backlight, offer a plus of luxury and make this phone look phenomenal. On the sides you will find two volume keys, a camera shutter, a headset port and the Power On/off button.
But enough about aspect, let’s talk a bit about technology. This LG cell phone comes equipped with a 2.0 inch TFT display with a native resolution of 176 x 220 pixels. Even if this display is somehow mediocre for such a demanding cell phone, the images will be clear and the quality of colors will be satisfactory. But there is a little problem. The display being glossy will attract many fingerprints and dust so if you want to have a cell phone which looks great, you will need to clean it every time you touch it. For taking photos, the Chocolate comes with an integrated 1.3 Megapixels camera capable of taking photos at a maximum resolution of 1280 x 960 pixels and recording QVGA clips at a speed of 15 fps. Even if this camera has LED flash and many other customizable settings, the photos can disappoint you. If you want a cell phone capable of taking great photos, we recommend you choose another model. The internal memory is another aspect which can be a bit disappointing. You will need to resume at 128 MB of free space because this phone lacks a card slot.
In connectivity terms, this LG cell phone is not impressive. Being an entry-level cell phone, it comes with GSM and GPRS support. For other kind of connectivity it comes with Bluetooth and USB. However, as we said, the Korean Company has focused on a cell phone with a luxury design, not on a smartphone with a lot of high-end features. If you love to listen to music, it’s good to know that the speaker is great. The sound is clear and has a loud volume. If you want to listen to music at a louder volume, in the standard package you will get a stereo headset which will offer you a great experience during music listening.
Because, this LG cell phone doesn’t have many features, it performs well in terms of battery life. The standard Li-Ion battery is capable of keeping this phone on for up to 6 hours of conversations and up to 200 hours in standby mode.

Last month, Verizon Wireless and Skype announced their exclusive partnership in the U.S., along with their plans to bring Skype’s popular VoIP calling and messaging service to your Verizon cell phone. Now, through the miracle of animation — and the help of a woman with a really high pitched voice — Verizon and Skype are shedding a little light on how Skype integration will work on your phone. The video doesn’t get too in-depth, but we do learn that Skype calls will arrive to your Verizon Wireless handset just as normal calls do and the Skype application will run, always on, in the background. The two companies also confirm that Skype calls will not be charged against the minutes in your mobile plan and users of Skype Out will be able to leverage competitive international calling rates from their handset. This got us thinking: we don’t have enough Skype contacts to justify leaving Skype running all day chewing up battery life, but how about you? Do you have a Skype contact list full of friends you are itching to talk to?

Cool pet gizmos and gadgets are going to make your life easier when it comes to satisfying the needs of our speechless friends. Let us go over some examples of such devices which combine utility, technology and put your pet on the number one spot.
<-300×250 Medium Rectangle – center->
The Dog-e-Minder is device that looks like those old Tamagoochi games we used to have and it can be attached to the pet’s collar. The device has 3 dedicated buttons which are for walking, feeding and medicine and anytime your pet does one of these activities, you can press that button and it will start recording the time so you should know exactly when the dog needs to be fed, given medicine or taken for a walk again. In the idle mode, this little gizmo can also show details like the pets name and the owner’s contact information so in case the pet gets lost, you will have a greater chance of someone returning it when they find it. It’s available from pink to blue and you can even buy 2 of these for only .
Water dispensers are everywhere and in those hot sunny days we just love it when we have the chance to get a free and cold glass of water to calm down the horrible temperatures. Well, why should we be the only ones with this privilege and why can’t we let out four legged friends enjoy some clean and fresh water as well? it may look just like a regular water dispenser which uses 3 or 5 gallon water bottles but on the bottom edge it has a motion activated water bowl which is built into the unit. This bowl can be removed anytime and cleaned accordingly and since the lines that provide us with water are separate, you can be sure that your liquid will not be contaminated. It costs 9 but it can provide you with hot, cold and room temperature water.
The next item on the list could fit into the cool pet gizmos and gadgets category but it is more of a weird application which I bet you never imagined existed. The Pet Acoustics is an iPhone application where you can play special music tracks that will help to calm down even the most stressed animal. Janet Marlow is the composer of music for animals and these sounds can calm down from cats and dogs and even up to horses. It is said that you can play this music whenever your pet is nervous, when he is main, when they are agitated when strangers are around and even when puppies are scared of thunder. This musical genre is proven to calm down pet anxieties and it will fill the pet’s environment with peace and balance.
I’m curious as to how many animals were actually calmed down by this music. The thing is that even if it will not calm down your animal, the tunes will at least put you to sleep. And for the price of , what have you got to lose?

It’s been several days since we left the Geneva Motor Show and we’re still finding cars that we somehow missed out on the floor. We especially don’t know how we managed to skip this bad boy in the Brabus booth, as it should have been nearly impossible to miss. It’s called the E V12 Coupe, and it’s got 800 horsepower. Enough said.
There’s nothing new about Brabus stuffing a V12 into an E-Class. They’ve been doing it since 1996, and have been making twin-turbo models since 2003. The latest version is based off of the new E Coupe, and it’s a much prettier car than the awkward looking E V12 Black Baron that we saw in Frankfurt. Fortunately it does share the same engine - a 6.3-liter twin-turbo V12 putting out 800 horsepower and 1047 lb-ft torque. Brabus quotes a 0-100 km/h time of just 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 230 mph, and judging from the performance of their previous cars we are inclined to believe them.
Besides the engine, the E V12 Coupe also comes with larger brakes, a Brabus-spec coilover suspension system, 19-inch wheels and more carbon fiber than you can shake a stick at. The front spoiler, grille, front and rear fenders, rear diffuser, intake system, interior trim and seats are all made from the lightweight material. What is all of this going to cost you? 478,000 Euros - approximately 0,000 using today’s exchange rate, or more than 13 E-Class Coupes.
