Yey, it seems like the O2 iPhone is available in UK now. Let’s take a look…

So, what’s it like? Well, apart from the o2-engraved box, the UK iPhone is, externally, identical to the US version, which we reviewed back in August. The biggest modification is on the inside and is something that will have nerdgeeks sprinting to online forums in a message-posting furore. We can reveal that the UK iPhone is, in fact, installed with firmware version 1.1.2. Oh, how we wanted to post picture proof last week but would have run the risk of Steve Jobs personally removing our knackers. As well as more keyboard character sets, the updated firmware will have addressed security issues and minor bugs: Great for news overall stability, but it is likely to cause yet another uproar in Apple’s loyal fanbase, as Apple is sure to have closed up the security loopholes (such as the TIFF exploit) which allowed people to hack the iPhone to run their own software.

The idea behind this is good as many things are, however these innovated products may have good intentions yet at the same time they could lead you into trouble with the authorities if you were travelling around the country, especially by plane.

But for the ordinary person who is going their everyday activities then it should be ok, provided that you are careful.

The Bottle has been designed to not only carry your favourite beverage but a gadget too; this could be a cell phone, mp3 player or knife! Why would you want a knife attached to a drink bottle?

The Bevy Tech Gadget Bottle is priced at $8.25

Now this just has to be for very special pets only. And besides not every would want to spend an awful lot of money on an item that just hangs around the dog’s neck.

While on the other hand when you are walking down the road with your dog while at the same time listening to your favourite tracks and having a jolly old time. Mind you the gold and diamond encrusted mp3 player costs around $2,000 so it may be a good idea to review the pet insurance.

Faithful? Get the Cross MP3.

Make no mistake, this isn’t the first time a religious symbol has been integrated into a digital audio player, but unlike the iBelieve, this thing is actually, you know, real. Destined to be sold in bulk quantities to youth groups everywhere, the Cross MP3 Player is hardly designed by coincidence, and comes with 4GB of internal memory, a two-color LCD, built-in speaker, FM tuner, integrated mic, seven equalizer modes and a multi-language menu for those overseas mission trips. Fightin’ the good fight will only cost you $48.14, but you can whittle that down even more by purchasing these things by the hundreds.

It’s always around Halloween when people broadcast about cross MP3s….

Having devices that look like other things is great idea, after all thieves then have no idea what to take, so hopefully wouldn’t bother in the first place.

Yet this set is strange, and although it may look like a fairly normal side display it is in fact a sound system! The company Taguchi Craft actually make items to look like other everyday items; it must be very confusing in their homes!

6:19AM Update - I have been blogging for almost 24 hours straight and just finished making a website for one of my friends that I met on the elevator. (Yes, it’s called the elevator incident, he even sang about it.)

He’s my neighbor and sings whenever we hang out and get fu**ed up…

P.S. Yes, this was shameless friend promotion… :p

Here’s a way you can hack the ports on your iPhone and add some LED joys to your life!

When the iPhone’s initial specs were released by Apple, tons of users complained about its lack of a camera flash. Using a USB connector, 4 white LED’s, and a tact switch, I built a removable flash unit.

Here’s some news you should consider before updating your iPhone. Apparently, you can end up with a bricked iPhone, meaning your iPhone will be useless.

I don’t know if this voids the warranty or whatnot but be careful before updating your iPhone.

A software update has, as promised, made hacked iPhones useless — “bricked” them, in the modern parlance. Worse yet, the new software has bricked some unmodified iPhones as well. And people are outraged. These are, of course, by and large the same saps who overpaid by $200 to buy their iPhones in June. And you know what? They’re getting what they deserve.

Here’s a cool spy gadget you can get which comes with built-in webcam and MP3 plus the ability to spy on your family. Well…not exactly spying but you can use it security I guess… Preorder one at Amazon.

Nikko and Erector just launched the Spykee Spy Robot, a Johnny-5-esque little fellow that recharges itself and includes a webcam and MP3 player all in a clever little package.

It costs about $299 and let’s you watch your family remotely, ensuring that your domicile will be safe from robo-phobic burglers. It reacts to motion so when someone pops in for a visit the SpyKee can email their picture to you and then burn their face off with huge fiery lasers.
