The evidence continues to mount that Motorola is getting their act together. Here comes the Crush. The Crush is an EV-DO Rev.0 device that features a 2.8” touchscreen (240 x 400 pixels), a 2 megapixel camera, virtual on-screen QWERTY keypad, Stereo Bluetooth and a 3.5mm handsfree port.

Looks like the controls are located at the top of the screen which is a bit weird, but the Crush also incorporates a few other functions like a Tap to silence feature, a pedometer, microSD card support for up to 16 Gigs of additional memory and a 950 mAh battery. Motorola claims 4.5 hours of talk time.

Man, playing games on the Wii can be hard. You are expected to do stuff like move your arms, hold them up, push buttons… All while holding the Wiimote. Add an exercise game to that, like Wii-Fit and it can be brutal. What, do they think we are superhuman?

Well, Talismoon’s Wiitality accessory can help. What we have here is little more than a neoprene band that holds your Wiimote in place, securing the controller on your arm with Velcro straps. At least they aren’t trying to charge a ton of money for it. The Wiitality will cost you $3 at Amazon.

One of the things that has many iPhone users angered is that while the iPhone has tethering capability, AT&T has blocked the feature. I can only imagine how angry the users would be if they had been able to tether the iPhone for years and the feature was cancelled without notice. Sprint has done just that for some of its customers.

A poster going by kevinapg has posted at the Sprint Blogs that the ability to tether his Blackberry handset has been blocked. The poster states that for years tethering has been supported through the Sprint Smartview software.

I have been out and about several times, ended up with time to kill, and spent most of it watching video on my iPhone. The catch is if anyone else wants to watch with you it can be a pain to share such a small screen. iBend has announced a new line of designer iPhone stands that are cheap and very portable.

The stands are flat piece of flexible plastic that bend in a semi-circle and a lip catches on the iPhone to keep the iBend stand upright. The iPhone is then held in an upright position for watching video hands free.

One of the big improvements of the iPhone 3G and 3GS compared to the original iPhone was the inclusion of GPS allowing for navigation capabilities in the device. The problem is that the iPhone GPS receiver is prone to having issues at times if you are near large trees or tall buildings.

TomTom has announced that its Car Kit for iPhone is now available for users to purchase in Europe. The kit includes a secure mount dock that charges and holds the iPhone while it works as a PND. The dock allows the iPhone to be in portrait or landscape mode.

I always forget to bring my Bluetooth headset inside from my car and charge it. That means each time I want to use it the thing is usually dead. i.Tech has announced a new Bluetooth headset that will help me stay powered up for hands free use called the SolarVoice 908.

The device has solar panels on the back to help charge the battery and features sound reduction technology to eliminate background noise. The headset also uses a design that allows air to flow to the ear canal so your ears don’t feel plugged up when you wear the headset.

Best Buy has been selling lots of mobile phones via its Best Buy Mobile in store kiosk. The coolest part is that they often give you the mail-in rebates on handsets as instant rebates. Best Buy Mobile announced today that it was launching a new service called mIQ on October 12.

The mIQ service is a cloud-based offering that allows the user to back up their contacts, data, photos, video, and text messages, as well as their calendar online. Data is uploaded to the free service and is seamlessly.

Bluetooth technology is great for handling wireless, hands-free calls, but I bet you’ve never used it like this. Think of this one as a virtual perimeter device. The BlueWatchDog Personal Anti-Theft Alarm will alert you on your cellphone if someone steals your belongings, like say your wallet and takes them outside of your specific radius.

Basically the alarm will sound in an ear piercing shriek that hopefully will make the thief scared and drop what they are stealing…. Only to have them break it if it’s an expensive device no doubt.

Many states here in America have hands free laws in effect that only allow the user to their phone with a Bluetooth device. We can still use our phones for navigation and as a music player though. In New Zealand, a new law at first made using the phone as a satnav device illegal.

The new law is called the Road User Amendment Rule 2009 and it reads in part, “You can use a mobile phone held in a cradle while driving, but only to make, receive or terminate a phone call. You cannot use them in any other way, such as reading a GPS map, reading email, or consulting an electronic diary.”

The Bluetooth bracelet is designed to be worn on your wrist. When your pal calls your phone it vibrates to alert you of the incoming call. This is handy, say, if your phone is tucked away in a travel bag or if you have left it somewhere.

An LCD display on the front shows who is calling and when your phone goes out of range it also lets you know that the link has been lost. It’s also a watch. Some other features include: LCD Display Caller ID (showing Caller’s name from your phone book / Caller number), Can be charged by laptop or home PC via the USB cable provided, or the bundled AC adapter, LCD Display Size: 22mm wide, Bluetooth Spec: version: 1.2 – Compatible with V1.1, V1.2 & V2, Bluetooth Profiles: supported Headset and Hands free profile, Frequency range: 2.4GHz, Stand-by time: 100 hours.

A company called Sound ID has announced a new Bluetooth earpiece for mobile phone users called the Sound ID 400 Bluetooth headset. The device is designed to provide a premium hands free experience with three features not found elsewhere.

The device has PersonalSound with three listening modes to tune to common hearing preferences without raising the volume. The device also has an Environmental mode that allows the user to hear out of both ears while wearing the headset.

Bluetooth technology in mobile phones and MP3 players is a great thing. The tech allows us to make and receive phone calls using hands free devices and we can stream stereo music wirelessly from one device to the next.

The new Tenqa line of Bluetooth Wireless speakers debuted on Amazon over the weekend. The line includes three devices that all support Bluetooth A2DP technology. The Tenqa SP-99 Bluetooth Wireless Portable Speaker is compact and is designed to be portable. Volume and track controls are built-in to the front of the device and it sells for $79.99.

There have been lots of new mobile phones being announced over the last few weeks in the ramp up to the holiday shopping season. Samsung and Alltel have announced a new device that will be an Alltel exclusive called the Freeform.

The Freeform is a bar style phone with a four row QWERTY keyboard. The device will come in teal or burgundy colors and features a music player, stereo Bluetooth and multiple messaging features. The handset is GPS-enabled and can have up to 16GB of memory.

For those of you who have been patiently waiting, Android has finally joined the ranks of handsets with a mobile version of Facebook available. Through some recently released information on Facebook’s “Facebook for Android” page, the app appears to have a fairly comprehensive set of features.

Android users can post status updates, view news feeds, friends’ walls and user info. Facebook for Android can also share photos from the phone and also can look up 125 friends’ phone numbers from the home screen, all from the home screen.

There are lots of cars on the road from GM that feature OnStar. The service allows drivers to place hands free calls and dials 911 automatically in the event of an accident. The GPS features of the service can also provide the exact location of the car for EMS and roadside assistance.

A company called Guidepoint has announced a new hands free Bluetooth device that offers some of the same features as OnStar. The device can be coupled with an optional GPS tracker to give positional information for roadside assistance and EMS services.
