What’s the result if you use a cell phone blocker?
Some of you might know the device, cell phone blocker, although legal to sell, using jamming cell phone signals here in the United States is considered property theft by the FCC. An $11,000 fine and up to a year in prison for each offense makes owning one of these a risky proposition at best. But if this were legal, would you be tempted to own and use one? Would you use cell phone jammers if they were legal?
The cell phone blocker doesn’t come cheap and by using one, you risk not only breaking FCC laws, but perhaps causing an incident if its use messes with someone’s pacemaker or other signal-sensitive device. We do think in time, these devices in some form or another, might be necessary in a society where improper cell phone use in public spaces (even churches, libraries and museums!) is growing rampant.
The range the cell phone blocker covers
Most of these devices only affected 30-100 perimeters of dead space, but some more powerful government-grade units can kill a whole mile diameter (think Presidential motorcade), so one wonders what the real dangers are besides intrusion of freedom to use mobile devices. There might be a day similar to the time when smokers were made to partake in their habit in designated areas, with the introduction of cell-free dining zones…at least one could hope.

Do you still remember wristwatches?
With the surge in smartphones and their instant access to time and other information, fewer people seem to wear a watch these days. However, bluetooth will bring a bright future for wristwatches.
Bluetooth 4.0 will bring a bright future to wristwatches
Thanks to the Bluetooth 4.0 specification approved. It specifies ways for making low-power wireless network connections over short distances.
That means a watch or other device with a standard coin-cell or “button” battery that is worn on a wrist, kept in a pocket or worn on a necklace could communicate with a person’s smartphone or laptop. Using the wireless connection, the watch could display data received from the larger device, Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) Executive Director Michael Foley said Wednesday.
All sorts of small, low-power devices could rely on Bluetooth 4.0, including building sensors, laptops, fitness devices and TV and stereo remote controls, he said.
But the specification has sparked particular interest by watchmakers, who have seen young people, mostly between the ages of 14 and 30, give up their watches and telling time from a phone.
The specification opens up new categories of Bluetooth devices. You could replicate your phone on your watch for caller ID information or to activate a music player.”
Several watchmakers in Asia have expressed interest to the Bluetooth SIG about incorporating Bluetooth 4.0 in watches, which could begin appearing in 2011.
Bluetooth 4.0 uses less power than earlier versions by shutting down the Bluetooth radio as much as possible between uses and by reducing the number of signal “trips” required to set up and keep a connection between devices. Earlier versions of Bluetooth required several such trips; that number has been reduced to only one or two in Bluetooth 4.0, he said.
As for other uses, Bluetooth 4.0 could be used with sensors in a star topology where one or more of the sensors communicates with a central radio or controller. (Since the spec doesn’t allow sensors to pass data directly to each other, a different type of “mesh” design isn’t supported.) Star topologies with Bluetooth 4.0 could be used, for instance, by a company to take readings from thermostats or motion detectors.
Bluetooth 4.0 is also expected to compete against the Zigbee Alliance’s low-power networking specification in TV remote control and related devices.
In the meantime, several manufacturers have introduced wireless wrist watch cell phone based on cellular wireless connections, not Bluetooth. For example, LG Electronics showed a Touch Watch Phone at CES in 2009.

Cell Phone Watch Q8 Review
Posted on: August 26, 2010
Cell phone watch Q8 is a classic gadget
A cell phone watch that is, Q8 is not exceptional, it is a classic gadget, even if it is still not widespread. But there are still some models quite exceptional, given the level of miniaturization has been achieved …
Cell phone watch Q8 is cheap and functional
It shows the case of Q8, sold just under $ 130 in China. Indeed, not content to act as a quad band phone, it carries two SIM slots, thus allowing to manage two lines simultaneously, a color touch screen of 1.33 “, a keyboard digital chip Bluetooth 2.0, a vibrator, and even 2MP sensor can produce photos and video. And despite its small size, inducing a battery necessarily minimalist, it shows 5 hours of talk time and 300 hours standby. Good for cons, it’s ugly, probably not very ergonomic, and watching videos on the screen postage stamp should not be more comfortable.
Looking forward to seeing Apple iWatch
When will a concept for Apple iWatch come out?

Posted on: August 25, 2010
Texting while driving is a pretty dangerous bloodsport. Knowing that still isn’t going to change the behavior of an insolent teen.

The Good thing of the Fortaleza Quad Band cell phone watch
- It’s a cell phone in a watch. What more can you want?
- Terrific audio
- Plenty of options
The Bad thing of the Fortaleza Quad Band cell phone watch
- Choppy video player
- Bulky and unwieldy
The Fortaleza Quad Band cell phone watch casts in stainless steel, and is a quad-band phone that’s also weatherproof. It includes a headset mic and Bluetooth headset, FM radio, music and video player, a gig of onboard memory, a watch, a 640×480 resolution camera that shoots both digital stills and video, and a battery capable of offering three hours of talk time on a single charge.
And admittedly, this sucker is a bit on the bulky side, especially for wearing on the wrist. But still, this is an absolutely incredible piece of retro tech.
And indeed, for a cell phone designed to be worn on the wrist like a particularly chunky wristwatch, this offers an incredible array of features that perform pretty well under the circumstances. Granted, the video player is choppier than the ocean in a hurricane, but the FM radio sounds pretty nice, and so does the audio player.
The Fortalena Quad Band cell phone watch is, all things considered, a pretty sweet cell phone watch, and the fact that I can even say that gives this thing serious points for uniqueness of design.
