Google Voice is a beta service from Google that allows mobile users to get one phone number for all of their phones. That means you can have one number that works for your home phone, business phone, and your mobile.

A new application called GVdialer has been announced that works with Google Voice to allow users to make calls directly from their handsets contacts list, call log, and keypad. The application is available for the iPhone, Blackberry, Android, Windows Mobile, and Nokia Symbian phones.

I can’t think of a stranger phone buddy than one shaped like an egg who will shake his legs whenever you get a call. I think it might be fun to rest him on the edge of your table. That way, when he starts getting all freaky and shaking his legs, that egg is going all Humpty Dumpty.

Other then that, this little guy is pretty useless. Good thing he’s only $6. What the hell, he displays the time too. If you need a special friend to get egg-cited about your phone calls, look no further.

The internet is a dangerous place for unprotected computers. All sorts of attacks can happen if you aren’t protected from viruses to phishing and identity theft. Most computer users have several types of protection in place including antivirus and firewalls.

The app is called the Trend Smart Surfing application and it analyzes websites, email, and file queries in real-time for possible attacks.

I think that most of us who often forget to plug our mobile phones in to charge could remember to sit the phone on a pad to charge if that was all we needed to do. A company called WildCharge has a system that can make that a reality.

The universal chargers plug into the charge ports on the compatible devices and then the devices can be placed on the charge pad to be powered.

One thing that has been a concert going tradition as long at power ballads have been around is holding your cigarette lighter above your head with the flame going. This can be a problem if you want to partake in the tradition but don’t smoke. Zippo has just the thing for non-smokers who want to participate.

Zippo and software firm Moderati have launched a new App for the iPhone that is available free on the Apple App Store. The application is called the Virtual Zippo Lighter and will work on the iPhone and iPod touch.

I have been using my iPhone since the original launched last year and I really like it. I will say that one of the biggest issues for me is still the on screen keyboard. It’s hard to hit the right keys with any speed when I am typing an email or a text message. Thanks to that fact, I haven’t missed the ability to type Word or Excel documents. I am sure some users have greatly missed the ability to use Excel though.

Softalk has announced a new application for the iPhone simply called Spreadsheet. The app is exactly what it sounds like — a spreadsheet. The program can be used to make all sorts of Excel-like spreadsheets that can then be emailed using the iPhone.

Falling under the slightly morbid category, check out the latest rage in Japan. These cellphone straps are a decorative way to display your blood type with an IV bag of blood. Don’t worry, it’s not real blood. Sure, it’s tacky, but then again it could very well save your life. But it goes a little deeper then that as the Japanese believe that your blood group says something about your personality. So you are also displaying what kind of person you are. It will cost you $6.

If you are married or have a live in partner that isn’t into technology and gadgets and loathes cords, you probably know what a source of irritation cords can be. You know what happens, you go to plug your phone in, and the charger is gone, stuffed away in some drawer because it looked bad. You spend time hunting for it getting more irritated by the second.

Bluetooth speakers have been around a while for use with notebooks, mobile phones, and MP3 players. Most of the Bluetooth speakers available aren’t really intended for outdoor use due to the fragile technology and lack of batteries.

CY-FI has released what it calls the world’s first Bluetooth sports speaker that is designed to be easily portable and used while biking, boating, camping and for other outdoor activities. The device supports Bluetooth-A2DP enabled cell phones, PDAs, and MP3 players.

I like watching video on my iPhone when I am out of the house and need something to do to kill a few minutes. The catch is that every time I watch a video my kids want to watch too and I end up having to hold the phone far enough away that everyone can watch. Putting the iPhone flat on a table doesn’t work well.
