The Cy-Fi Bluetooth speaker is considered as the world's first speaker for biking, boating, camping, and other most outdoor activities. The speaker supports Bluetooth-A2DP enabled cell phones, PDAs, and MP3 players. The speaker is small in size and weighs less than 4 ounces.

In addition to playing music, the Cy-Fi can also act as a Bluetooth speakerphone and supports voice recognition.

Those who have been to the Music Headset Competition which started on Oct 1, 2008 may already be familiar with design contest that asks anyone to submit designs for Nokia headsets (like the BH-501, BH-503, BH-903 and BH-604). Five winning design concepts actually will come to real-life as fully working products and showcased as a collection in Nokia's flagship stores. And as you can probably guess from the images on display in the gallery, the 'anything goes' rule definitely applies.

Since the advent of computers, technology is on a rise, we see a variety of new products, gadgets, new gizmos and lots of amazing stuff coming out of talented minds.

When it comes to finding them I like to search as it gives a wide range of information, also I am fond of sites like Techno Station – a portal that invites manufacturers and developers to upload their press releases (and users' manuals) there - that are a great source of reliable and first hand information. The content (in the form of press releases as well as instruction books and users manuals) at Techno Station is created and contributed largely by the developers, manufacturers and marketers, communities of people that frequent the sites. Common users can even ask questions, and then read what informed members of the sites have to say about it. That is what makes these sites useful for anyone with a connected computer. I suggest everyone should join and add their stuff on Techno Station.
