Here’s a rather genius idea for those of you who still don’t use a smartphone, a physical map with “zoom” features where users can actually zoom-in by folding the map. Brilliant! Currently, the map is for London I guess so if you heading there, you can buy one here. #forthehelluvit
Zoomable street map + Greater London map. Patented folding. Comes with an information leaflet, containing an index for streets, stations and places of interest, useful numbers, official tube map. Street map

Ever since the invent of iPhones, most other cellphone manufacturers have become obsolete in terms of “web browsing” capability. HTC, usually based on Windows Mobile, have kept surprising me with their outdated mobile IE browser that does not support any of Web2.0 technologies including AJAX.
Well, as a previous owner of HTC, I hope they finally move onto another mobile OS platform like the Android from Google, or they will ultimately fail to capture attention of fast-movers like me. The
