The best video on teh internets, ever. iPhone parody of the Pussycat Dolls' 'Dontcha'

Wait for the killer chorus – “dontcha wish your cellphone was hot like me, dontcha wish your keypad was button-free…dontcha wish your cellphone was raw like me, dontcha wish you spent more than half a gee”. Perfect. I will probably be watching this video thirteen times a day on average. Well, at least until someone creates a parody of Depeche Mode’s…

Review: inMotion iMV712 from Altec Lansing
Video iPods are all well and good, until you actually try to watch a video on them, I find. Then, you dice with losing your eye site, headaches and other fun things, as you try to squint. As much as I bemoan the lack of feature films on the UK version of iTunes, I really couldn’t sit through a whole one.
The amazing PowerDic dictionary for Windows Mobile
We are quite clearly only mentioning this because of its name.
PowerDic, from Korean company DIOTEK, is just a dictionary, designed to work on Windows Mobile-powered phones. It supports text-to-speech functions, which would be quite funny for five minutes when you get it and make it say all the swear words.
