Don’t be a Machismo – The cellphone with cigarette lighter

Available at Chinavasion.com for $70 the new Machismo cellphone is in a world of its own.

The Machismo is GSM tri-band phone with dual-SIM slots that allow for two cellphone numbers at once. The 2.5 inch touchscreen display, Bluetooth, a 1.3 MP digital camera, a video camcorder, mp3 and mp4 players, a free 2GB TF microSD card, PDA tools are just standard for this phone, but there is so much more, no really.  The feature that has me baffled in the world of non-smoking campaigns – a cigarette lighter.  You turn the phone around; slide open the safety latch, the heating element will heat up in 2 seconds, now put your cigarette on the glowing element and puff away.

For all you non smokers maybe, with some caution, this could be a good hand warmer, lock de-icer, or a camping fire starter.  I think manufacturers are running out of new features to offer us.

    Just Mobile’s UpStand for the Apple iPad review
    Posted 28 days ago.

    I just got through a half dozen documentaries and videos that I’ve been meaning to get to for months now. How I did it? The Just Mobile UpStand and a bit of help from CineXplayer. Now that my iPad conveniently sits next to my monitor in seemingly perfect viewable angle, I can let those videos play as I work during the day.

Its large display, crystal clear screen, and a multitude of features make it one of the most impressive tablets on the market. Check out Mobile Magazine’s iPad review here. However, like all iDevices, they do leave something to be desired in the area of durability.
