Wrist computers have not been all that popular of a product in recent years. In fact, the iPod Nano is largely considered as one of the few blunders that Apple has made throughout their dominance in the mobile market as far as new products are considered. However, that could be changing here soon. Although most consumers rarely wear a watch in this day and age and mostly use their Sim Free mobile phones as their time-telling device, Swap’s Rebel is looking to change that and bring back wrist-mounted devices as a phone. Although the interface will not be nearly as spectacular as the interfaces on most mobile devices, but if it can provide some of the same functionality it has a good chance of finding success.

The Rebel is made by Swap, a UK manufacturer and features a 1.46 color touchscreen,, allowing users to easily navigate through the core functionality of the device. It even includes a camera that is able to record both video and still-photographs.

The design of the Rebel is fairly basic, and features a vanilla color with little detail added to it. The strap for the Swap covers up a USB port that can be found at one end of the device which will allow you to transfer your MP3 or video collection to your phone. The Swap only has 2 GB of storage, but for the size of the device that should be enough to fill it up with some of your favorite media files.

Along with the ability to add MP3’s to the device, you will also be able to tune into FM radio, which is a feature that comes standard with the Swap. The apps that are available for the Swap Rebel are relatively basic and will enable you to play music, access your email, add to your contacts, change settings and even surf the web.

At around $300, the Swap provides users with an excellent way to keep the core functionality of their smart devices connected to their wrist at all times, and even allows for them to utilize Bluetooth headsets when they are talking on the phone. At the very least, it will keep all of your basic smart device functions easily accessible on your wrist.

Trapster is a Sim Free Mobile application that has gained a lot of attention in recent years due to the controversial uses for the app, and now it appears that the Trapster Company and brand has been acquired by Navteq, a company that is owned by Nokia. They are reportedly looking for ways to integrate the GPS platform designed by Trapster into their own products. It is possible that they will not be using the technology for the same purpose (in fact that it is fairly doubtful that they would use such a controversial technology,) as it has been used thus far.

The app allows users who have the app on iOS or Android to quickly update the GPS grid when they approach speed traps that have been set up by police. All of the information provided on the app is generated by users who come across these speed traps, and then update the location in their phone. If you have enough users using the app in the same area, it can be a great way to avoid speeding tickets and remain aware of all of the popular spots in which speed traps are set up in your area.

Currently, Trapster has a total of 9.4 million users across the country. Of course, the app has been accused of encouraging users to not obey the law and some complaints have been raised as to the legality of its application. The argument is that the app endangers those who are on the road including other cars and pedestrians, which is something that has made Navteq’s acquisition of Trapster a bit puzzling overall. At this point, it is assumed that the app was acquired for the technology and not so much for the reasoning behind the use of that technology. There are many different ways that user-generated data on a GPS grid could be useful to Navteq.

Looking for that one smartphone that deserves the name and adjective “smart” all at once? Well if you believe then you need not look any further than the brand new Unlocked BlackBerry Torch 9800. The new ad campaign goes in very simplistic terms “Business Meets Pleasure”. The question to be asked is, Is that really the case? A brief insight into the phones features will effectively reveal as to whether the claims can be backed by substance or the promises are in fact hollow. In that case let us delve into this much awaited device and its much hyped features.

Disappointing is one word you would use to describe the camera. Five Megapixels of clarity and it still refuses to bring up the quality of photos that a Sony phone would. We don’t hold this against the Unlocked BlackBerry Torch but a phone that promises pleasure despite the business like attitude could do better. The BlackBerry OS 6 is not a touch screen dedicated OS or at least by the looks of it. The battery life is magnificent and no other word can describe the feeling of using the phone for a day and half and still have a good amount of battery life left. The 3.2” display is good as expected. However the business aspect disappoints in at least one sphere, the processor which is a mere 624 Mhz processor when clearly a GHz processor was needed to overcome the excessive hanging.

The music functions are good except for the storage capacity where the iPhone4 wins hands down. The Webkit enabled part of this phone is wonderful as the Universal Search feature on this phone sets us drooling from the utility point of view. The reception quality is decent though a visit to the subway might cause you some distress.  In short this is one good phone! Business and pleasure? Not more than the iPhone, not yet at least!

Unboxing the Unlocked BlackBerry Torch 9800 might have taken time but a thorough run through followed by an immediate video of the hardware specs was something that hardly took any time. The internet and in particular the YouTube’s and Metacafé’s of the internet are now flooded with videos that give you a hands on explanation of the specifics of this wonderfully engineered masterpiece of a device. These videos also provide a thorough look through of the BlackBerry 6 Operating System which is platform to the ever so recently-launched BlackBerry Torch 9800. You can now have a close look yourself at the features of the new Torch to understand how well the new BlackBerry browser fares, how generally, the OS fares in fairly real-world situations and conditions.

For those who still haven’t got their very own set, the BlackBerry Torch 9800 is now available on AT&T for a price of $199 particularly on a two-year agreement which is at par with the price of a DROID 2 from Verizon. The Torch boasts an HVGA display, a 5 megapixel camera which is sure to take your breath away with its quality of imaging, a slide-out keyboard which through it’s portrait orientation adds to the total compactness of the device, a total of 512 MB of RAM almost mandatory for any smartphone, a rather disappointing 624 MHz of processor power, and a totally new OS featuring Webkit browser, a number of improvements to the user interface and even a pinch-to-zoom feature. For the more enthusiastic fan of BlackBerry, there are several other review related videos of the Unlocked BlackBerry Torch 9800 but this is most important, at the end of the day for those users who in the end look for a chance to look through the set thoroughly before even thinking of walking into a store to buy one.
