SwitchEasy’s ThumbTacks mics are the cutest little microphones we’ve seen. Cute little accessory for the iPod? Yes please. The mics can also work with any other PMP with the requisite jack and come in a fetching array of red, black and white.

We have gathered all the relevant info on the new iPhone 3.0 operating system with a hands on coming shortly so you can have the full lo-down before you download it. In the meantime, we’ll just break down all the juicy bits about the new iPhone and iTouch 3.0 operating system and we have to say, it’s looking pretty tasty. All of you who have jail-broken your iPhones will probably have to wait a bit longer than the rest of us to get a jailbreak the iPhone 3.0.

Sequels are rarely better than the originals but the HTC Magic Android Handset trumps its G1 predecessor in nearly every respect (we are waiting on pricing and tariffs before we give it the full thumbs up).

The phone loving doesn’t stop today and the Acer Tempo Smartphones X960, F900, M900, and DX900 handsets certainly deserve a little bit of love (no flowers though). Why Acer decided to reveal all four at once is beyond us but it looks like they’ve got a whole 3 musketeers and d’Argtanean thing going on.

Samsung have obviously decided that the Omnia brand will be its cash-cow of choice in 2009 and flogged to death. On the plus side, the Samsung OMNIA HD is not bad for a flagship. Able to shoot HD video in 1280×720 at 24fps, the Samsung OMNIA HD handset also allows the user to edit the clip then playback direct to their HD TV.

The Nokia N86 8 Megapixel Slider was unveiled at the World Mobile Congress….by mistake. Now, it’s incredibly ironic that at a trade fair your secret product is mistakenly announced, or, call me a cynic, Nokia intentionally, unintentionally, unveiled the Nokia N86 8 megapixel slider….

The previously secret Sony Ericsson Idou was unleashed on the world a day before the World Mobile Congress starts. This means that it’s either so amazing that Sony Ericsson wants all your concentration before you get distracted by other phones to be revealed or, it’s so average that it will be swallowed up in all the telecommunication goodness about to be revealed so Sony Ericsson wants to grab some lime-light whilst it can. With scant information, we’re reserving judgment for now.

The environmental buzz is mighty loud these days and the Samsung Blue Earth solar powered handset is just the kind of gadget they would approve of (although, knowing them, there will be something about the handset that probably totally contradicts their green-values – hard to please those guys).

This is what the Android G1 was made for. Third-party applications that would push the platform for all it’s worth and the TeleNav GPS application for the G1 definitely has a good go at maxing out the so far underused GPS chips the G1 has been sitting on.

Long awaited, it’s finally here, the Garmin-Asus Nuvifone M20. A GPS with a phone, not a phone with a GPS and there’s a world of difference. Powered by Windows Mobile 6.1, the Garmin-Asus Nuvifone M20 definitely looks the business and with a car dock and quality GPS software, it may just be able to deliver too.
