Cell phone Cowboy
There has always been something romantic about the Wild West for those in the Far East. This fixation has recently made its way into the cellular field when Strapya World released its “Ghetto Japanese Cell phone Holster.” The Holster comes with a quick draw capability for some reason and only God truly knows the dire cultural affects this will have on the Japanese cell phone culture. Hailing from Osaka, (fitting because it’s Japan’s entertainment capitol) the Ghetto Japanese Cell Phone Holster is adjustable for cell phones of different sizes and costs a reasonable $25. (That depends on what you consider reasonable though) Leave it to the Japanese to invent something super cool that may end up being totally impractical, faddish and ultra corny. That doesn’t mean people…

Samsung 8 Megapixel Camera Phone
The big question surrounding the new Samsung Innov8 is not the quality, the design, or the user friendly applications, but rather its designation. Is it a cell phone with a camera, or a camera with a cell phone? Regardless of how it’s classified, the Samsung Innov8 packs a media punch if ever there was one. It has a super camera with a 30 second frame rate and multiple camera features including blink, smile, face detection and whatever else cell phone wielding camera lovers could want in a camera phone. The Innov8 however, was made for more than just capturing embarrassing moments. It comes equipped with an FM radio, optical mouse and Wi-Fi.

The BlackBerry Thumb Answer
Man never seems to learn his lesson. First it was Nintendo Thumb – caused by hours of endless button bashing that left your thumbs in dire shape. Then came Carpel Tunnel as a result of over worked office drones that spent far too much time typing. There has been a thumb related malady for just about every repetitive hand activity ever in human history. Therefore, it shouldn’t come as a great shock to anybody that a new pandemic called BlackBerry Thumb has reared its ugly head. There is hope for BlackBerry users however in the form of the Xtensor. This funky looking glove is supposedly able to nurse your ailing hand back to full strength and thus, allow BlackBerry users to ruin their hands over and over again.

Phone Racing
The newest and possibly weirdest trend right now in the cell phone world may very well be taking place in Sweden. It’s called Phone Racing and it is exactly how it sounds. Two competitors go head to head using the vibrators on their cell phones, with the winner being the owner of the phone that crosses the finish line first. The surfaces and tracks being used for Phone Racing vary greatly - from the more conventional table tops and stairs, to the more adventurous backyards and dirt roads. The Swedes apparently have no qualms about allowing their cell phones to take a savage beating and it appears that the durability factor has become a major decision when purchasing a cell phone in the Nordic north. Phone Racing has yet to travel the globe and it remains to be seen if…
