Firstly I want to make known that the list of top Smartphone PDA technology and gadgets are what I think is the best for 2010.
Now we have got this out the way.
Let’s look at the PDA Smartphone’s I am going to look at three phones. First one HTC HD2 Smartphone I must say the first impressions are very good the screen is over 4inches and very clear. Touch screen is a dream to use very accurate the only problem I found is the battery life is not to brilliant specially when you use the internet or music so make sure you have a car charger you will need it. Applications are good I love the main home interface very hi-tech you can customise it to your own taste. So ratings are out of ten I give the HTC HD2 9 out of ten.
Nokia 97 standard model. Well I was very excited when I first used it but it did not last long I am afraid to say. The phone has a lot of software issues it keeps crashing. Battery life is good when you can get the phone to work. The applications add-ons are very pore compared to the king of apps. I really only give a rating of 5 out of ten. One quick thing the Nokia mini is much better phone at least it works and you can make calls with it!!.
Now finally the final review Apple iPhone 3Gs I must say Apple are world leaders in mobile technology it is a dream to use tons of applications to make your life more easier and fun. I just think sometimes Apple guys are on another planet how they can justify the cost of the iphone 3gs is way over priced. Battery life could be better. They also should put an SD card in for extra memory. Also camera could be better there other pda phones less money which offer much better results. OK now the rating I give it 8 out of ten. I know you must be saying its the top in the mobile phone market. Yes it is a good phone but now I feel there better quality phones out there and better value.
Quick update watch out for April 2010 Sony Ericsson is about to launch their new Sony Ericsson phone Eperia X10 that does look very good let’s hope it will be also in the next couple of months there other phones coming to the UK.
Ok thanks for reading this article I would love to hear from you so please do add your comments.

Modern life is full of electronic gadgets. Cell phones, digital cameras, camcorders, MP3 players, computers, laptops, monitors and more are common in all modern households. These modern electronic devices provide entertainment and help us in many ways. The problem with them is that they wear out or become obsolete, and then we are faced with the challenge of how to dispose of them.
Simply throwing electronic devices in the trash may be 1 option, but it is an option with a significant environmental impact. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), over 200 million tons of electronic waste (e-waste) ends up in landfills every year. The problem with this is that many consumer electronic items contain harmful materials such as lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium and more. These materials can pollute the land, water, and air. In fact, according to Earth 911, over 70% of toxic waste found in landfills comes from e-waste.
Some items, such as computers and computer monitors, are banned from landfills and curbside trash pickup. In some states and municipalities, it is illegal to simply throw away such items. So the challenge is twofold, how to dispose of properly to comply with applicable laws, or how to dispose of properly because it is the environmentally responsible thing to do.
Most people are familiar with the recycling of cans, glass, paper, and plastic. They either take it to designated recycling centers at their landfill, or transfer station, or they are picked up through curbside recycling efforts. When it comes to recycling our electronic gadgets, the task becomes significantly more difficult. Unlike cans, paper, plastic, and glass, there is typically not curbside recycling for electronic devices. You also typically cannot simply take such items and leave them at the landfill or transfer station. Thus, recycling our gadgets requires some thought and effort. It is important to know your recycling options for common electronic items.
Reuse Electronic Devices through Donation
An excellent option for electronic gadgets that are still in working order is to donate them to someone who can make use of them. Many schools and community groups are happy to receive working electronic items. Schools, for example, often are very appreciative to receive donated computers, peripherals, and monitors. There are even tax incentives built into the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 for companies to donate such items to schools. Cell phones are another item that many community organizations love to receive in donation. In addition, there are national organizations that will accept donations of electronic items. Some organizations that accept donations include:
· Electronics Industry Alliance (EIA)
· Computers For Schools
· Another Byte, Inc.
· National Cristina Foundation (NCF)
· Share the Technology
· Educational Assistance Ltd. (EAL)
· The Wireless Foundation
· The 911 Cell Phone Bank
Recycling Unwanted Electronic Gadgets
If reuse through donation is not an option there are numerous programs for recycling unwanted electronic items. Many municipalities will have special days at their landfill or transfer station where these items will be accepted for recycling. There may be a fee associated with these programs.
In addition, many major manufacturers of common electronic items will accept them for recycling, including Acer, Apple, Dell, Epson, Gateway, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo/IBM, Panasonic, Sony, and Toshiba. Many major retailers also have recycling programs, including Best Buy, Circuit City, Office Depot, and Staples.
For cellular phones, many cell phone manufacturers, and all of the major wireless companies provide recycling programs for cell phones. Most of the programs will accept anyone’s cell phones for recycling.
A Word About Recycling Batteries
General purpose and alkaline batteries are not considered to be hazardous waste by the US Government. These items may be disposed of with normal household waste except in California where non-households must dispose of them in accordance with the California Universal Waste Rules. Recycling programs for general purpose and alkaline batteries are rare.
Rechargeable batteries may be recycled for free. You may find a list of organizations that accept rechargeable batteries at the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation.

If you want to get more out of the batteries then you need the iPWR Super Pack. The iPWR Super Pack can charge up your batteries and get your iPhone on the road again no matter where you are.
This special pack offers up to double the amount of time you can use your phone before the battery gets over tired, and you can carry on yakking for up to seven hours.

The gadgets outlined here are just a few of the things that you can get to make your iPhone experience the best ever.

Technology Planet Uk also ship internationally so wherever you are they can get it to you.
If you are looking for something that is very hard to find, or something that takes you right back to your childhood (remember the Big Trak?)Then take a really good look at Technology planet UK.
Any faulty items will be exchanged, simply pay the return postage, (which they refund), and within a few days you will have your replacement item in your hands. How good is that for customer service!
Do you have a broken laptop? Why not sell it to Technology Planet UK for quick and easy cash.
What else can you expect to find at Technology Planet UK? How about A4 labels on a sheet, ready for printing on, how about thin client computers, networking and routers Windows CE GPS systems, how about just about anything you can think of?

You truly can relive those long forgotten moments in time with the impressively large range of gifts and ideas available at Technology planet Uk.
At Technology Planet Uk you really should take a look at the kaleidoscopic Green laser pens, magic beans that turn into message plants(a truly fantastic gift for a friend – let them know your feelings – kiss you, I love you, Angel etc.) and even a real physical email notifier – an email icon shaped unit sitting on your desk that alerts you to the presence of a new email – simply plug it into your USB port.
Overall there is so much that you can think of at Technology Planet Uk it is impossible to list them all, but what I can assure you is that if you pay a visit you will find a huge range of things that you hadn’t thought about that make for great gift ideas (a remote control firework lighter sound cool?) that will leave smiles all round.

Are you a gadget lover that’s a little short on cash? Do you want the new iPhone 4 yet can’t afford to buy one? Forget paying for the hottest phone on the market out of your own money because I will show you how to get one for free.
First of all let me tell you that testing programs are a multi million dollars business and, in the U.S. alone, thousands of people are getting gadgets for free each year. Software testing might sound like a difficult job that requires highly qualified personnel but I can assure you that manufacturing companies don’t want technicians that will find every possible fault in their software but regular people just like the company’s applications are made for.
You will not have to assess software programs from a programmer’s point of view but will only have to review it from the functional perspective:
Is it easy to operate?, Is the menu intuitive?, Do you think it could be improved? These are the questions you will have to answer in a short for at the end of the testing period (usually no more then a week).
You will then get to keep the iPhone that was entrusted to you during testing as a reward for your work (if you can call it work) for free. This is because it’s more cost effective for the company to just let you keep the iPhone rather then give you cash and then struggle to sell hundreds of used iPhones on eBay. I say this is an opportunity that should not be missed but keep in mind that you will have to hurry and check out one such program as spots get filled quickly.
Buy cheap gadgets direct from China !

I must admit that I’d be absolutely lost without the growing number of desktop and laptop computers, printers, digital cameras and all the other assorted electronic equipment in my house and home office.
I know I once got along without all this gear, but that was back in the olden days, in the last millennium. Today I absolutely depend on it. What this means is that I buy a lot of stuff, and I have formed some definite opinions about where I do my shopping and what places I avoid like the plague.
I hate to say it, but #1 on my list of places to avoid are the big electronics chain stores. They are certainly convenient and their prices are usually in the ballpark.
And all their glossy brochures have lured me more than once when I quickly needed some RAM, a disk, or a new inkjet printer.
Problem is that their sales people are embarrassingly clueless and often only interested in selling extended service contracts. No thank you.
When I build a new desktop computer I occasionally buy the parts from a local electronics superstore. Those places are a geek’s paradise, or they could be if it weren’t for a couple of really annoying deal breakers.
First, half of the boards don’t work after I bring them home. And second, I absolutely refuse to buy things that are only a good deal after a mail-in rebate or two. I’ve been burned too many times with rebates. No more.
Office supply stores are stocking more and more electronic equipment. So when I go buy a ream of paper or some other small stuff I often end up looking at their laptops and digital cameras.
And once I even bought a notebook computer there, something that I later regretted as there was, of course, no service or support. I actually like the office supply stores and have no problem buying things like laser printer cartridges there, but that’s about it for computer stuff.
Another bad practice that’s taking over is luring customers with low prices, make them wade through several order screens, and then break the bad news, like some gargantuan shipping charge or that, sadly, the item is not in stock.
Do that to me once and I won’t be back.
So where do I get most of my electronics gear? Online.
I love being able to browse online stores at my leisure, without any sales pressure and usually with all the information I need. I like neat, clean just-the-facts stores that specialize in the kind of gear I want.
http://topelectronicbrands.blogspot.com
I don’t need useless “reviews” by folks who always seem to have an axe to grind or hate everything. And I don’t need long lists of the 99 lowest prices on the web.
All I want is information and a good selection. I do expect a degree of customer support in case I have questions, and most of the better online stores can handle that easily.
Had someone told me 10 or 15 years ago that some day I’d buy things like laptops, digital cameras, printers or even desktop computers online from some website far away, I’d have laughed.
But that’s where I get most of my electronic equipment and gadgets from these days, and I’ve rarely ever had a bad experience. Those online stores seem to try a lot harder, and that’s good news for guys like me.

Losing weight and staying fit is a goal for many. New technologies are always coming along to help us with our goals. With so many fitness gadgets on the market, the big question becomes which are good (because they can actually help you build muscle and lose weight), which are bad, and which are just plain crazy. Let’s have a look at a few fitness gadgets these from each category.
The Good
The good can help you build muscle or lose weight. Some can even do both, depending on the gadget.
Nintendo Wii – If you though the Nintendo Wii gaming console was just another game machine you’d be wrong. This revolutionary game console offers some terrific fitness programs, including Cardio Boxing, Wii Fit, and Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum to name just a few. Yoga, Pilates, cardio, strength training, and sports are all just a disc away in your home. Many a couch potato has become a fitness buff since the Nintendo Wii.
Walk Vest – If you haven’t heard of the walk vest, it’s a heavy black vest that comes with eight pounds of weight up to sixteen pounds in the biggest vest. You increase the weight of the vest by placing weights in the pockets. It also includes a workout CD. It may not be pretty but it definitely makes your walk more effective.
IPod Shuffle – If you don’t consider the iPod shuffle a fitness gadget you’d be wrong. It’s a great way to take your mind off your taxing workout and keep you pushing on. After all listening to your favorite music can be energizing in itself.
The Ab Wheel – The ab wheel has you grab the handles located on each side and then you roll it along the floor as you stretch out. It’s a simple idea. Whether there’s any real value is debatable since the same benefit could be enjoyed from a crunch, but it may get a beginner going who might otherwise not get a great ab workout.
The Bad
While they may work, they just seem like a bad idea all around.
The Fitness Cube – The sales pitch is around how it will transform your body and take up little space in your home. It can be used as a chair, and hides a variety of accessories. Whether it’s got any real value appears to be a negative, although the infomercial is pretty funny.
The Perfect Pushup – If you thought the pushup was above being improved, you’d be wrong. The perfect pushup is a device with rubber bottoms and swivel handled mounts. The grip rotation lets you take your pushup to a new level. The question is whether there’s any real fitness value and the answer is no.
The Crazy
What fun would it be if we didn’t mention a couple of the crazy fitness ideas that have come to be.
iGallop – The iGallop is designed to simulate a horseback ride, working the thighs, lower back, and abdomen. That said Pilates are a much better workout.
Shake Weight – The object to Shake Weight is to have inertia tighten and tone your arms using vibration. Whether it works or not is really unknown but logic would say no. It is however one of the craziest devices we’ve seen.
There you have it. The good, the bad, and the crazy. It would seem that while fitness gadgets can certainly help build muscle and lose weight, they can also do nothing. Before wasting your money on something you won’t use–or that will break the first time you try it–it’s important to do some research. Read reviews online and follow your favorite health and fitness blogs. If you choose your fitness gadgets carefully, you might have a tool that can help you reach your goals; if you don’t choose carefully, you’ll just end up with more clutter that will end up in the garage.
