If you like to read you have probably read something by Stephen King. King is one of the all-time bestselling authors and his work has been seen in virtually all possible display mediums. Theatrical films have been made by the dozens based on his work, his stories have appeared in magazines, and TV shows have been built around his work.

King is branching out and bringing a new, original and previously unpublished short story to a new medium. The story is called “N.” and will be offered to viewers on mobile phones and via the Internet. Bringing “N.” to the small screen required a partnership between Scribner, Simon & Schuster Digital, Marvel Entertainment, and CBS Mobile.

The supply is expected to be plentiful, nevertheless a line has already begun outside of Apple’s Fifth Avenue retail store to buy iPhone 3G a week before its release. These people are serious and have their supplies for camping. Wouldn’t it be nicer to stay at home with your families?

Part of the line is occupied by some activists known as “Waiting for Apples” who are hoping to set a Guinness World Record and spread the word about sustainable agriculture. They brought their own solar-power generator, yoga mats, a compost bin full of worms, and probably other hippie essentials. Personally, I can’t think of a better way to spend a week then sitting on my ass next to these guys. Yeah, that would just be awesome…

If there is one universal thing cell phone users can agree on it is longer battery life for their devices. We have seen all sorts of methods to prolong the run time of our cell phones from add on batteries to solar chargers.

The SunBlazer is a pretty interesting product and combines two things that most cell phone users might need. The SunBlazer is a holster for your cell phone that also has a solar charger built-in to keep your phone powered up.

One thing with today’s electronics and computers that you can never have too much of is storage. In today’s small factor flash storage for cellular phones the capacity tops out at 8GB for microSDHC cards. For some users, especially users of smartphones, 8GB is simply not enough storage space.

Strategy Analytics released a report that predicts a 120% growth annually in the capacity of removable storage for cell phones. In 2007 the max storage capacity was 517MB and the report says that by 2012 the storage capacity will be 26GB.

Motorola officially announced the ZN200 slider in Brazil. It’s not a bad looking phone. The handset features a 2.0-megapixel camera, microSD card slot, media player and built-in FM radio.

It’s also got a camera key on the side so you can take pictures in landscape mode if you need to. Comes with 30MB of built-in memory and a 1GB memory card might be included in the package. The ZN200 should be hitting stores no later then September in Brazil for about $311 and it comes in white with pink or black with chrome.

With the iPhone 3G set to hit the market this moth there are lots of gadget fans out there counting the days until they can get a new phone. If you aren’t with AT&T and still want a cool touchscreen device you have some options including the new unlocked device from Openmoko.

The Openmoko Neo FreeRunner is set to hit the market on July 4 and is an open device operating on GNU/Linux. Included software for the device allows it to dial calls, SMS and record contacts. The open nature of the device means that it can be upgraded with more features and functions. Openmoko says that the first upgrade will come in August and add location based services to the FreeRunner.

T-Mobile announced it’s own version of Motorola’s ROKR E8, a delicious candybar which is shiny, sleek, glossy and black. Okay, maybe it’s not that much of a looker. Some features are: a 2 megapixel camera, 2GB of internal storage, microSD slot that will get you 8GB more, stereo Bluetooth, 3.5mm headphone jack, FM radio, and the morphing keypad that makes keys invisible like magic.(If you are in the right mode) Not a surprise that there’s no 3G, but T-Mobile customers are used to that. You can get the E8 starting July 7 for $199.99 with contract.

The Cell Ranger has nothing to do with the Lone Ranger in a jail cell, though if that happened he would in fact be that cell’s ranger. It’s a cell phone booster, like this one. It plugs into your computer through the USB port and then, with an on-board microprocessor filtering out unnecessary signals, it amplifies the signals that your cell phone actually needs.

The end result is a few extra bars of reception. If you need better reception, this should be near the top on your list of cool stuff to buy.

Here’s another cell phone watch. This one is pretty arrogant and cocky, proclaiming itself the Mind Blowing cell phone watch, with some different features. It’s from Chinavasion and gives you the option of filling up the micro SD card with movies or music that you can listen to over a Bluetooth connection.

I’m not sure which feature they believe is mind blowing. Could be the organiser, or the side mounted camera. Maybe it’s the GSM Compatibility, or the 1.5 inch TFT LCD 176×132 Touchscreen, or 3 x Digital Zoom. It must be the price at $193.13. Yeah, that must be it. Consider my mind blown.

Is this the best Sprint and Samsung phone ever? Many of us think so. And it just got better. Thanks to the unveiling of the iPhone 3G with it’s $199 price tag, Sprint rethought a few things.

Like offering an extra $100 mail-in rebate which levels the playing field with AT&T. Apparently, current customers can buy the phone without renewing their 2-year contract, which is good news for those who want to switch carriers.

Is it better to use a speaker phone and hands free devices instead of answering right next to your ear? Are four mobile phones capable of popping some popcorn kernels? Check out the videos below. Just imagine the kind of weapon 12 phones strapped together would be. Nah. It’s a clever fake. But fun to watch.

The time may be close at hand when you can peruse Marvel comics on your cell phone. The comics industry had to embrace it someday, sales being what they are. I’m just wondering how they are going to deal with such a small screen. They may just offer snippets that give you the whole story, or let you view a frame at a time. But are comics any good viewed in that way?

I mean, is that kind of severe eye strain worth finding out whether Spiderman beat his latest foe? Or if Wolverine finally bagged Jean Grey? A better bet might be to subscribe to Marvel’s online service that costs between $5 to $10 monthly. Still, anything that brings geeks together with comics is a good thing.

While you and I may not understand it, there is a certain percentage of the population that simply wants nothing to do with cool gadgets. I know these people really have no place in a civilized society, but in the spirit of brotherhood and acceptance I present the $10 anti-iPhone.

Hop-On has announced a new disposable cellular phone that retails for only $10 called the HOP1800. The device lacks anything fans of tech want to see on a mobile phone like good looks, LCD display and generally anything cool.

The Touchwiz a.k.a the SGH-F480, is obviously an iPhone wannabe from Samsung, featuring an improved and super user friendly UI controlled with your finger, and a 5Mp AF camera with auto focus and a CMOS video lens.

It sports 8GB or memory, and even an FM radio. The F480 makes use of a new and unique img4.gif UI, with specially designed widgets to customise and personalise the use of your phone. It’s a slick looking phone. Talk time is 3hrs. It will hit the European market shortly. Not sure when we’ll see this in the U.S.

Back in April we told you about Van Der Led’s WM2 cellphone watch. Well here’s another also featuring a keypad. Cell phone wrist watches have yet to really take off. There haven’t been many of course, but seeing another watch with a dedicated keypad tells me they may just start getting some respect.

The CECT WRIST looks like it’s doing a good job of copying Van Der Led’s WM2. The GSM phone also features a small 1.3″ TFT Touch screen, bluetooth, an FM radio, MP4 and 3GP video support, a WAP browser, an equalizer for playing MP3 files, a Voice recorder, calculator, and it’s memory can be expanded via Transflash cards. It retails for ₤151.57.
