07. 5.2006DS Lite cotton covers
My DS Lite is fairly grubby already. It might be to do with the fact that I don't stop playing it during mealtimes. Oh, or going to the bathroom. I should probably get one of these lovely Japanese cotton covers to at least prevent any visible dirt. Gametech produce hand-stitched cotton covers specifically for the DS Lite, using the finest hand-dyed cotton from the Nagano prefecture. The covers also have a cool little elasticated strap just like a notebook to keep it all together. Only available in Japan at the moment, the covers sell for 3,980 Yen, which is about $35 or £19. See more designs at Game Watch. Via Jean Snow Posted by Stuart

07. 5.2006Put the cord back on your teen’s phone
As the number of teens with cell phones continues to rise dramatically, so do the bills that Mom and Dad have to pay, since the accounts are in their names. Parents are concerned not just over the cost of passing out mobile phones to all the kids, but there’s also concern over who their offspring might be talking to. Sprint and Sanyo have teamed up to offer a phone and service that allows parental control over whom their kids can call and who calls them. They simply enter all the ‘allowed’ numbers in the phone’s contact list and then lock out any changes. Only those numbers on the list can call in or be called. Advanced features that cost extra money, like online services and ringtones can also be controlled. The Sanyo SCP-2400 phone (pictured above) comes with teen-friendly features and is available in five different colors. Posted by Brian

07. 5.2006Patient monitoring with Columba telephone bracelet
It is estimated that nearly 850,000 patients are managing their lives with Alzheimer's in France, with 165,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Perhaps of some solace is the fact that technology is trying to keep pace with this dreaded disease that affects millions of elderly all over the world. Medical Mobile and Orange have developed the Columba telephone bracelet for the French market to help monitor Alzheimer patients. This product integrates mobile phone and geographic location technology in a watch-sized device that a patient can wear on the wrist. When an Alzheimer’s patient wearing the bracelet leaves the precincts of a familiar area, an alarm is signalled to the family members or caregivers. A medical call-center can then ascertain the exact location of the patient via the bracelet’s GPS assisted geolocalisation system. The bracelet also has loudspeaker and hands-free functions to help the attendants to directly communicate with the patient. More information available at medicalmobile.com and medicalintelligence.ca.
