Gadget of the Week

Often I come across a product where I think ‘Cool, that definitely has its uses..’ I guess in many ways I’m (like most people) fairly selective about which products I choose to use on a daily basis.

At my last birthday I was brought the frankly excellent “Bonfire of the Brands” by Neil Boorman, which is definitely a ‘must read’ for anyone who wants to understand how brands shape our way of thinking.

Facebook is one such ‘brand’ which people use on a day to day basis to stay connected, luckily its free and as far as I know planning on staying that way! Is it fair to say that a fairly large percentage of people have some form of Internet Ready phone? By that I mean from basic to advanced etc. Obviously some people use it slightly more then others!

The first in a perhaps continued series on cool gadgets is the “INQ1″ by Three Mobile, which is a pretty cheap mobile phone with Facebook and a mobile broadband connection attached. Which means you can surf the net at HSPDA speeds!

I’m unsure as to whether this phone could work with the free SIM Cards offers which frequent the internet. I believe it is on contract only, which in my mind is a shame.
