We all have to pitch in to save the Earth from slowly burning to death - luckily, now we can -- one power strip at a time. The USB Ecostrip is a power strip that connects to your computer via a USB cable. When the strip senses that your computer is off, it'll turn everything else off as well -- meaning, monitor, speakers, and whatever other delicious toys you've got plugged in, will be stopped from wasting precious, precious energy.
The device is set to come to the US soon (we don't quite know how soon yet) for $34.95. Easy, simple and probably a good way to save some money on the electric bill, the Ecostrip is, if nothing else, a good way to pitch in and maybe indirectly save a polar bear.The girl in the picture may look like she has just let one rip, but she is in fact enjoying the heat emitted from Thanko's USB Warmer Cushion.

India is having a very low usage of these devices though they are having a lot of sales all over the world,reason of which is the Indian Laws for VOIP deployment are not clear of this which include calling to a mobile number from a VOIP network. But this law may be soon amended because of the increase of outsourcing market in India which require low cost solutions.

The N93i includes an integrated 3.2-megapixel camera with a 3x optical zoom and LED flash, plus a rotating viewfinder. Flipping the screen to its side automatically changes the orientation of the image to landscape mode and while rotating it upwards automatically puts the phone into camera mode. The main display measures about 2.4 inches, with a 320 x 240 pixel resolution and 16 million colours, which is a major improvement over the older N93’s 262K-colour screen. The N93i also comes with a lot of useful gear, which includes a travel charger and headset, Nokia connectivity and video-out cables, and a 1GB miniSD card on top of the N93i’s built-in 50MB storage space.
Nokia has kept the standard Symbian S60 3rd Edition user interface, which looks amazing and is very simple to use thanks to the high-resolution display. Connecting to a TV is a plug-and-play affair, and you’re able to view the whole user interface of the phone on the TV.
There’s 3x optical zoom and up to 8x digital, and at the highest quality, the 1GB SD card should allow roughly 45 minutes of recording. With this much storage on board, you can easily store over 500 still images with a maximum 2048 x 1536 resolution. Connectivity is taken care of with tri-band GSM support, 3G, Bluetooth 2.0, infrared and Wi-Fi (802.11b/g) as standard as well as ports for USB and TV-out. Nokia has provided an integrated FM radio and music player with the support for MP3, AAC, M4A, eAAC+ and AAC+ formats.
Connecting to Wi-Fi is simple, it lists the networks it detects, you enter the wireless encryption key, and the phone is connected. The high-resolution display and Nokia’s in-built web browser make the internet experience reasonably good for a phone. By moving to a slimmer design Nokia has shrunk the size of its battery, which is now a 950mAh BL-5F unit.

* Optical zoom
* Excellent Web browsing

The Nokia N93i 3G smartphone isn’t a major step over the previous N93, but it has all the features to please most power users including Wi-Fi and a 3.2-megapixel camera with the Carl Zeiss lens. . The design is much neater in terms of everything.
Apple recently signed a 7-year, $56ish million contract with wireless technology firm InterDigital. According to an involved analyst, the licensing agreement covers "various 2G and 3G cellular technologies encompassing bandwidth allocation, roaming and power efficiency controls, and most likely also includes some type of packet data coding and delivery." Oh, and some chunk of this technology licensing warrants another $20 million payment from Apple down the line.
Does this mean anything today? No. But it's concrete evidence that a 3G iPhone is on the horizon, however far off it may or may not be.
SanDisk's 8GB View will cost just $149, the price of Apple's 4GB nano.
Battery life has been confirmed at 35 hours for music, and 7 hours for video. (According to Apple, the nano can pull off 24 hours of music or 5 hours of video on a charge.)
SanDisk's two Sansa View models will both be compatible with MicroSD/SDHC for memory expansion. Since there's a tiny 8GB SDHC card on the way, you could technically jack this thing up to 24GB pretty easily, though that 8GB card will definitely set you back a few clams. (In case you were wondering, you will not be able to move files back and forth from onboard memory to MicroSD card.)
Like SanDisk's other players, the View will have an FM tuner (20 preset channels) and a voice recorder with built-in mic.
The new View is SanDisk's first serious attempt at a video-capable player, with native support for H.264, WMV and MPEG4 video. (Earlier Sansas could play video, but only if you messed with it enough to make it work.) When you are in video mode, everything automatically reorients to landscape, so you can turn the View on its side and better enjoy the 2.4" 320 x 240 LCD.
SanDisk's marketing folks say that this player is geared more towards short clips than full movies, but then at the same time admit that 16GB means the ability to store over 30 feature films. (And you could watch three of them without plugging in.)
The View is the slimmest Sansa yet introduced. At its thickest is around a third of an inch—its total dimensions are 4.29" x 1.95" x 0.35", and it'll weigh just 2.9 oz.
Interestingly enough, SanDisk isn't partnered with anyone on this go 'round. The Rhapsody friendship from the E200R appears to have fizzled, and the Yahoo branding that appeared with the Sansa content is, as yet, just a one-off thing.
Speaking of the Connect, the View will not have Wi-Fi. Then again, I can hear SanDisk saying, neither does the nano. Look for it this October
