When surfing around YouTube, found LG’s first dual-SIM mobile phone KS660 and wristwatch phone GD910. I was attracted by their idea: dual-SIM mobile phone and wristwatch phone.

Dual-SIM mobile phone means LG KS660 has two SIM card slots. This will allow users to have a single device singing along two mobile operators. Will it be economy and attract market? More and more users tend to have two phones: business and personal mobile phone. With this dual-SIM feature, LG KS660 mobile phone allow user simultaneously have both lines on a single device.

User has to choose a “primary” sim-card and “secondary” sim-card in the proper card slot. User can received call and sms without changing sim-cards, turn off mobile phone or carrying two different mobile phone.

After Apple introduces touch screen features, it seems to be popular. So LG KS660 dual-SIM mobile phone also comes with touch screen features. It also includes a 5 megapixel camera with auto-focus, video recording, tri-band GSM/GPRS.EDGE connectivity, microSD memory cards, FM radio, media player. But LG KS660 dual-SIM mobile phone doesn’t support 3G and WiFi connectivity options. It seems to be disappointed.

3G Wristwatch phone seems to be only appears in spy movie. But LG GD910 3G wristwatch phone appears. It not only a 3G wristwatch phone, it also support video calling through camera on the front. Plus LG GD910 3G wristwatch phone has speech dialing and text-to-speech function to read back text on the tiny display. Wow! Everything sounds like only appear at imagination. Furthermore LG GD910 3G wristwatch phone’s voice recognition features can be used with or without a Bluetooth headset. It is easier for user.

LG GD910 3G wristwatch phone also comes with touch screen display, MP3 player, Bluetooth, speakerphone and HSDPA. It is fully capable of sending text messages, making phone calls, be entertain, as organizer and keeping accurate time. Eagle to play with it.

These two devices have their attractive area and useful. Wonder when these two devices will be launch and sold at store?

Waiting period is board. While waiting for bus, train, flight, friends etc, we tend to look for something to do. Something which is convenient, not that bulky, entertain. Music comes to my mind. Maybe that’s the reason market keep introducing new music phone and music player.

While checking mail this spice me up, Apple introduce 3rd generation iPod shuffle music player. Tiny, simple and it seems to be the first music player that talk. iPod shuffle from Apple moved the controls from iPod shuffle to earbud cord makes Apple iPod shuffle the world’s smallest music player and more convenient. It comes in two colors: silver and black.

iPod shuffle from Apple remains clipping concept from 2nd generation iPod shuffle but forged in stainless steel. New Apple iPod shuffle music player has 4GB storage and allow multiple playlists. Shuffle switch for iPod shuffle music player has three positions: shuffles, straights and turn off.

Apple iPod shuffle music player interest me with it VoiceOver musically speaking and new way to navigate music player. VoiceOver tells name of the songs playing, who’s performing, names of your playlists, battery low in 14 different languages. It’s easy to switch between playlists and find the one you want without looking.

iPod shuffle music player control just contain three simple area: volume up, down, and control. All navigation and control is base on this area. No doubt it is convenient but is it user friendly? User will need to remember how to navigate through control. Single click = play/pause; double click = go to next track; triple click = go to previous track; press and hold center button = hear title and artist of the song playing; press and hold center button, release and click= move between playlists.

Sounds like Apple iPod shuffle music player is unique and interest. It has it pro and corns. Let serve more about VoiceOver at Apple iPod Shuffle music player website.
