Pink and red Dell Mini Inspiron 9 ships to Japan, packed with 32GB SSD

We’ve just been waiting for the colored Dell Inspiron 9 netbooks SINCE we only have the black and white for now. The Mini Dell 12 was recently launched so I’m wondering when will Dell decide to ship the other colored ones? Good thing that a red and pink version will be released in Japan this week.

That’s great news for Dell lovers but I just hope all colors will be out soon. Anyway, the Japanese may find the red and pink Dell Mini Inspiron 9 special because they will come with 32GB SSDs.

Pink and red Mini Dell Inspiron 32GB will be available for ¥54,980 which is about $565 in the US.

HFI-15G Headphones: Better form but poorer audio quality

You can say that the new HFI-15G headphones could just be another addition to our long list of headphones but this $109 pair allows sound and air to pass through. The headphones are open-back, featureing S-Logic surround sound technique.

The pair comes equipped with a smaller driver as compared to its predecessor, the HFI-580. Though cheaper, initial review by CrunchGear says that quality has decreased.

Solar Charging Bag: Khaki is nice but still looks geeky

I’ve missed searching for solar bags to feature but looks like nothing has changed yet. They’re still geeky. Take for example this Solar Messenger Bag that doesn’t look like something the fashionistas would love to use but its eco-friendliness could be a darling.

This $129 khaki-colored solar charging bag can charge any MP3 player, mobile phone, and any rechargeable batteries. Use this bag to school or the office and your devices will have extra juice whenever you need. That is, if you can imagine yourself toting this geeky bag.

Apple iPhone gets some macro lens treatment, ummm…not quiet really

Apple iPhone users know that the infamous phone can’t take photos in macro mode. But you know, geeks are geeks and nothing can’t stop them from providing a solution.

Take for example the macroPhone, an improvised macro lens using an old SLR 50mm lens. No, the modder didn’t install the lens inside the iPhone for it’s impossible. He simply tied the old lens to the iPhone and tried taking photos. The result? Clearer close up photos using the iPhone. The only downside is the set up looks silly.

Google iPhone App can’t hear them British right

The new voice activated search by Google for the iPhone may not be exactly Brits may find useful because of their accents that vary. have no way of checking because for one, I don’t have an iPhone(yet) and second, I’m not British.

But Telegraph recently told of their experience while testing out the app. The word “iPhone” was mistaken for the name “Einstein” while the website “MySpace” was heard as “my sister” for both Kent and Surrey accents.

These are just some funny examples but there are more. Brits, I suggest you try this one on your iPhones and get a kick out of it.

Touchscreen + QWERTY + mini-notebook = iCEphone!

Touchscreen phones are in nowadays but there’s still the QWERTY keyboards that either slide or attach. But the iCEphone is very much different. Why, it’s a three-fold mobile phone that looks weird but could actually work for some people.

Video iPod Holder with Magnifier works but is seriously dorky

Remember the iPod Nano TV? While it looks retro, this Video iPod Holder with Magnifier looks too dorky. The black leather should have done justice to this accessory but to no avail. Read more

Fantalog Interactive’s is a blow-on-it camera phone, nice but not really important

This device from Fantalog Interactive isn’t your ordinary camera phone. For one, the design looks weird you’d think it’s something from the future or from the Jetsons movie. Instead of pressing a button to take a photo, the user only needs to blow on it. Not exactly a new idea since there’s the iPhone with the Ocarina flute app. Read more

Black Lego Studs: I know you could build a pair from old blocks…

This is not the first time TechFever has featured a geeky pair of studs but the LEGO version here is just as lovely. Well, maybe not for the guys but for the geeky girls who can’t seem to let go of nerdy stuff in even in the name of fashion.

The $15 pair of earring here is cute but I won’t be caught dead wearing. Why, I never liked wearing black earrings. However, there are girls who can manage to wear any kind of earrings so I guess Black Lego Studs could also sell. After all, it’s still a pair of earrings.
