Headphones aren’t always stylish, even when the rest of the specs are great. So sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Here is a pair of stylish headphones that also features noise cancelling capabilities, so you get the best of both worlds.

The Klipsch Mode noise cancelling headphones have ear cups made from “high-grade” leather and will provide noise cancellation for up to 45 hours on a single battery charge. Other features include a 40mm woofer for deep bass and dynamic midrange with active crossover, along with 15mm tweeters.

A few days back T-Mobile announced 2 new mid range Android phones, the Samsung Exhibit 4G, available in Black and Violet, and the Samsung Gravity Smart. However there is another mid range Android phone coming to T-Mobile. The Samsung Dart, otherwise known as the Samsung T499 or Galaxy Mini.

The Samsung Dart is the T-Mobile version of the Galaxy Mini, and will come in gray. The Samsung Dart will feature a 240x 320 screen, a 2MP Camera, no flash, 3G bands, Bluetooth 2.1, Android 2.2.

These days phones have invaded every aspect of our lives. However according to the experts at WHO, they emit radio-frequency waves which when absorbed by the human body prove harmful. The powers-that-be have come up with a standard called Specific absorption rate (SAR) and the FCC now requires cell phone makers to report the SAR level of their devices. The upper cap on acceptable levels is less than or equal to 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg).

Here is a list of the top 10 lowest radiation emitting cell phones.

Xperia blog has some new images of what it claims is a new Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot cellphone. Not surprisingly, the photos are pretty blurry, but they show both the Sony Ericsson brand name and the Cyber-shot logo. There also appears to be three buttons common to Android OS phones.

This is by no means official, but we have no reason not to believe it so far and Cyber-shot fans have been waiting for a new Android-based version of the cellphone with high quality imaging and resolution. Sony executives have so far refused to comment. Interesting.

You won’t be playing Super mario on a phone anytime soon. Nintendo has said that it isn’t planning to build a phone or license its games for third-party software platforms. They are going to focus on consoles and handhelds.

The high costs involved in cellular carrier partnerships are the main roadblock. That would affect the price of games. It just isn’t something Nintendo is looking at right now, but who knows? Maybe down the road, we will get a Nintendo phone. Just not now.

Full ear cup noise canceling headphones are great, but by their very nature they are too large for comfort. So Pioneer has just released their new SE-NC31C-K, which can remove up to 90% of ambient noise. The noise reduction can be turned off if you want, while still allowing you to listen to your audio.

They also have a “Monitor” button that mutes the music and turns off noise-cancellation quickly so that you can hear the sounds around you. That’s great for safety reasons alone. With a new single AAA battery the SE-NC31C-K earbud headphones will deliver up to 120 hours of noise canceling silence and they come with a storage pouch, 4.6 ft long cord, 4 ear tip sizes, in-flight plug adapter and a AAA battery.

What’s the world coming to when a prisoner can’t even call his drug dealer? What’s a prostitute to do when she can’t call her pimp for a little advise? Sometimes you just need to call a friend on the outside and ask about the best way to make a shiv. Oh well.

California’s Public Safety Committee has approved a new bill that aims to crack down on the smuggling of mobile phones into prisons. The new law would have tough penalties for both the smugglers and inmates. If this bill passes, anyone who possesses a cell phone with the intent to deliver, or delivers a cellphone to an inmate, would be guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by six months in jail and a fine of up to $5,000 per device.

Last year, the European Union ordered cell phone manufacturers to standardize their syncing and charging solutions: all phones should use microUSB to transfer data and charge. And let’s face it, to have things any other way is just annoying. The only problem is that the European Union failed to stand tough and at the last minute agreed to allow cell phone makers to comply with the law by shipping their phones with microUSB adapters. That’s crazy.

We can only hope that things go better here in the states, because Sprint CEO Dan Hesse has confirmed that by January 2012, all US phones will use microUSB chargers, which would do us the great favor of making all chargers and syncing cables cross-compatible. Why he thinks this, we have no idea.

If you spend a lot of time talking on your phone in your car, then you need a hands free device for safety reasons. Newer cars come with Bluetooth built in, but if you don’t have a newer car then check this out. It’s a new hands free speakerphone from SuperTooth.

The SuperTooth HD can be clipped to your car’s visor and features a 5.4W amp for the speaker so you can hear clearly even when you are in a noisy environment with horns honking, jackhammers hammering and other drivers cursing. This device is three times more powerful than other speakerphones on the market and also has integrated dual mics for noise cancellation.

Samsung has announced the Modus 6450 Bluetooth headset. It can be used as a mono-style headset or as a stereo Bluetooth headset since it has a second earbud that can be plugged in. It has Android application support, features voice command functionality, EQ settings, a separate Voice Command button on the headset and dual microphones to support the noise-cancellation feature.

The Modus 6450 supports Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, active pairing, advanced multipoint and multiconnection technology and also offers up to 6-hours of talk time and up to 180-hours of standby time.

Researchers at Stanford University have discovered a way to create two way communication over the same radio frequency. This is big news since it could lead to doubling Wi-Fi and mobile phone network speeds. That’s something we can all appreciate.

The new research makes us completely rethink how wireless networks can be designed. Unlike radio it has the ability to receive and transmit at the same time, so it can mimic the way humans screen out the sound of our own voices during a conversation. It uses two transmitters in the hardware at both ends of the conversation, with the two transmitters working in a similar way to noise-cancelling headphones.

Facebook has some smartphones, so you might think that Twitter would jump on the wagon, but no. Not gonna happen. During a keynote speech at MWC, Twitter CEO Dick Costolo dispelled any notions that the company is working on Twitter-branded cell phone. Even though he says that 40 percent of all tweets originate from cell phones.

The CEO said that Android phones currently allow users to quickly send a photo they took to their Twitter followers and he’d like to see more of the same in other platforms. He’d also like more single sign-on experiences and more apps that allow tweeting directly without going to another app. Hey, we’d all like that.

Plantronics new K100 in-car Bluetooth speakerphone includes dual microphones and digital signal processing (DSP) technology that keeps the user’s voice sharp and clear and also limits the surrounding noise. Also echo cancellation improves listening on both sides of the conversation, while a high-quality speaker makes every call clear.

The Plantronics K100 also has an integrated FM transmitter, so you can hear conversations, stream music, or play podcasts from your smartphone to the car stereo system. It also features large buttons so you can control the K100, while keeping safe on the road.

iFixit has imported its free repair guides to the iPad with a native app, Repair Manual. The utility will give you access to thousands of guides for MacBooks, iOS devices, game consoles, a wide array of digital cameras, and cell phones. Now that will definitely come in handy.

Users can view step-by-step instructions for disassembly and component replacement, with individual guides focusing on specific problems. The app features high-resolution images with each step, making it easy.

You may or may not be aware of it, but there is a range of phones in China by a manufacturer called OPPO and they sell pretty well. That’s apparently why members of the Shanzai have created a knock-off model. They didn’t just copy, they changed things a round a bit as usual and the result is this new POOP line of cellphones.

We don’t have any info on features or a price, but I can just imagine their advertising. Stay in touch with the power of Poop. Or Put a Poop in your hands today.
