IYHY.com is a handy site for people who browse a lot with their PDA or cell
phone, because if you do browse the web with your PDA or cell phone, then you know
that many sites won’t work on those little things. So from now on when you encounter a site
that won’t load correctly or LOAD up at all, head to IYHY.com and input the web
site address that you are trying to reach. IYHY will load up the site quickly.
Unfortunately, it removes all the images from the site. However, it’s still a
handy tool to know about.

Say GoodBye to GPS and hello to W-Track A-GPS

By Natalie Mayslich

September 29th, 2006

MinigpsOkay, not really. However, New Scientist claims that in the year 2011, violent solar activity will disrupt GPS satellite navigation. Apparently, GPS recievers are highly senstitive to the radio noise produced by solar flares that arise by explosions in the sun’s atmosphere. When solar activity peaks in 2011, it could potentially cause widespread
disruption to  emergency location systems that
rely on satellite navigation data.
What does this mean for you? Don’t just jump off the GPS navigation wagon. Instead, take it for what it is and ride out the tide. Starting with this, W-Track A-GPS, an extremely neat A-GPS device. This tiny, and I mean tiny (65mm x 43mm x 28mm)  real-time GPRS connected GPS tracking device gives you an unprecedented view of your subjects activities. It refreshes every 15 seconds for god-sakes!

To all you smarties out there: the razor and keys are NOT included. Although, for $699,  I don’t see why not. - Natalie Mayslich

SpecTec’s MicroSD Card with Wifi

By Chip Chick

September 29th, 2006

Just a few years ago I remember how cool I thought it was when I bought a
compact flash wifi adapter for my ipaq. I marveled at how they managed to fit
wifi into such a tiny little card. Then Secure Digital cards became more
prevailant and some company came out with an SD card with wifi built in. Once
again, I marvelled at this new feat of technology. Some time later I got my
first smartphone with a mini SD slot. When i discovered that there was a miniSD
card with wifi, I could barely believe that it was true. Surely, nothing could
get smaller then these miniSD cards… and to fit wifi into one? How did they do
it?
MicrosdwifiA few weeks ago I got myself the Samsung i320n Windows Smartphone, which
I am in love with by the way. I ordered a MicroSD card for it. When it arrived i
almost choked when i saw the chicklet sized MicroSD card that managed to fit
1Gig inside of it. For the hell of it I decided to google "MicroSD with wifi", and lo and behold I dicovered that Spectec has MicroSD cards with 802.11b/g. I am
speechless. Then again in a world where RFID chips are the size of a piece of
rice, should anything amaze me anymore?

searching sites, Trezr’s focus isn’t just on tech, but it has a heavy emphasis on fashion and lifestyle
bargains.

Strollometer Pedometer for Baby Carriages

I expected the Strollometer ($40) and odometer for a baby carriage–to be the evil-adapted offspring of a cycling computer and a pedometer.

It’s simple to install, with clear instructions and sturdy components. A magnetic sensor on the back wheel feeds wirelessly to the console, …
