blueLounge's The Sanctuary keeps your gadgets encased, charged

Filed under: Peripherals We'll be honest -- we weren't exactly feeling blueLounge's grossly overpriced SpaceStation, but its boldly-named The Sanctuary actually strikes us as quite useful. The gadget organizer allows technophiles to stuff their handhelds into this black or white container for easy carriage / storage, and moreover, it includes a built-in panel of labeled plugs in order to connect all your gizmos to power at once. The unit comes with a dozen connectors for the most popular items around, but since it's universal, your options are bordering on limitless. Heck, there's even a USB port thro

iTunes to seize 28% global music sales by 2012

 The latest series of digital music reports are in, and they suggest Apple could account for 28 per cent or more of global music sales by 2012; that's fairly impressive for the iTunes Store service which only launched on April 28, 2003. The understanding that Tunes may one day account for a quarter of global music sales comes through the extrapolation of data from a series of recent reports. These reports suggest digital sales will soon stem the continued meltdown in music retail. In-Stat research claims digital music sales will account for 40 per cent of music sales by 2012. With iTunes accounting for in the region of 70 per cent of digital music sales in most of the 22 markets Apple offers the service in, it's clear that (should iTunes retain such marketshare) it will account for around a quarter of the world's music retail mar

Nike + for iPod touch, iPhone

 Like thousands of developers worldwide, Nike is retooling its Nike + software for use with the iPhone and the iPod touch, embracing the wireless connectivity of both devices. While Nike has recently extended its system with the introduction of the Nike + Sportsband, which doesn't require an iPod, this doesn't mean its relationship with Apple has changed. The new iPhone/iPod touch solution will embrace these devices WiFi and (eventual) 3G support to allow users to update training logs "on the fly", meaning training data can be uploaded wirelessly. The company is also developing a new version of its Nike + Coach software to suppo

In two papers published in the April 11 issue of Science, IBM Fellow Stuart Parkin and colleagues at the IBM Almaden Research Center in San Jose describe the fundamentals of a technology dubbed "racetrack" memory The memory is being described as faster and more reliable than a hard drive or flash memory. It combines elements of both memory types in its conception, but is capable of storing far larger quantities of data and reading that information an astonishing 100,000 times faster than flash

Blockbuster working on "AppleTV Killa"

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Blockbuster is shopping around for hardware to help it bring its customers media in yet another format.  Blockbuster already has stores and mail and is now working on kiosks and downloading, through portable content-enabled devices.  This would obviously be direct competition for Apple. Blockbuster rival, Netflix is bringing to market a product made by LG that hopes to compete in the download rent market as well.  However, both of these companies are months behind Apple in development and don't have anywhere near the competency in making easy-to-use, powerful consumer software.

If we press the button, a number is dialled and a human operator responds. Ask her to be connected to your desired number and you are. You can also speak into the phone to dial selected numbers.
