DealExtreme – online shop for gadgets

My friend Adi (he also writes here) recommended me an online store that you can but hundreds of gadgets for very very cheap price and free shipping!! Its name is DealExtreame.

 

Since then I made several transactions and I’m very happy about the stuff I received. And one of the best, at least for me is that you pay with PayPal. So you don’t need to give you credit card to this Hong-Kong based online shop.

Here are several items I bought:

	2-in-1 LED + Pointer Flashlight 4 PACKS $4.78 This is the first item I bought. It is a nice led+laser keychain and I gave the other 3 to my family.
	LED Headlamp 8 LED $5.21 Where can you find such cheap Led Headlamp. I used it last when we went hiking and entered to unlighted cave. It gave very bright light. picture from the cave
	Mini Lightsabre LED Keychain $1.76 I ordered this gadget in order to put it in my bag, so when I’m going to trek and I’ll to look for stuff at night in my bag I won’t have to use the flash light.

There are more stuff that I ordered but write about them next time. So if you are going to buy something, first check this site and then decide were to buy it.

Sony PSP Vs. Apple iPhone/iPod ?

שלום לכולם,

מאז השקת הטלפונים הסלולרים עם צגי המגע לא קיבלנו את תגובה מצד סוני-אריקסון.

כעת עפ”י דיווח סוכנות הידיעות רויטרס סוני-אריקסון עובדת על פיתוח מכשיר חדש שיתבסס על קונסולת המשחקים הניידת וגם יהיה טלפון סלולרי.

תמונת קונספט של ה- PSP הסלולרי (האם כך יראה?)

אם אכן סוני-אריקסון ישווקו מכשיר כזה אני מאמין שהוא שהוא ילך ראש בראש עם מכשיר האייפון של אפל , לפחות בקטגורית המשחקים.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Sony Corp is considering developing a cellphone-game gear hybrid in a bid to better compete with Apple Inc's highly popular iPod and iPhone, the Nikkei business daily said on Saturday.

The Japanese electronics and entertainment conglomerate launched its first Walkman three decades ago, dominating the portable music player market, but it has been running far behind the iPod and iPhone in recent years.

Sony plans to set up a project team as early as July to develop a new product that combines functions of its portable game player and Sony Ericsson's mobile phones, the Nikkei said.

Sony Ericsson is a cellphone joint venture between Sony and Sweden's Ericsson.

A growing number of game-makers including Capcom Co Ltd and Square Enix Holdings are now offering software for the iPod and iPhone to take advantage of the Apple products' popularity, posing a threat to Sony's PlayStation Portable and Nintendo Co Ltd's DS.

A Sony spokesman declined to comment on the report.

Icy – Cydia Replacement for Jailbroken iPhone

 

If you have an iPhone and you performed Jailbreak you probably use Cydia for downloading additional apps that you cannot find in the official Apple appstore.

I feel that Cydia is too slow. Sometimes it takes ~2 minutes only to start Cydia. Luckily Ripdev team made a replacement for Cydia called Icy. The great thing about Icy is that it works on the same packaging system that Cydia use. So you’ll see the same sources and apps installed both in Icy and in Cydia.

What is Icy?

Icy is our take on the freeware package manager that uses APT repositories to install and remove packages available in another free iPhone installer application, Cydia. The goal was to create a fast, lightweight and more slick solution that is easy and cool to use. Icy is already at version 1.3, and we're working diligently on more improvements.

How To Install

From Cydia: Add a new source http://apt.ripdev.com and then install Icy from the Packaging category.
