Krusell Orbit Flex for LG Dare

Krusell makes some of the best leather cases on the market.  They are premium quality leather and always fit perfectly. 

The Orbit Flex case for the LG Dare is no exception.

Krusell states -

This unique 2 in 1 model specific case, designed by Product developer Robert Mazetti gives your device maximum protection. With the flexible feature, the removable lid, this case run your life in and outside the office.

The only con to the Krusell cases is that the US versions all come with a spring loaded belt clip versus a swivel clip.  A swivel clip can be purchased separately but we would like to see that be the standard.

    LG KC780 Mega Pixels with Music

    LG has entered the cell phone Mega Pixel camera market with the introduction for the LG KC780 phone.

    LG describes the phone as follows in it press release -

    “Several of the LG-KC780’s smart technologies focus around the most expressive part of a person, the face. Face Detection automatically finds and focuses on people’s faces to allow photographers to take clearer pictures. Part of this feature relies on LG’s Smile Detection technology, which can recognize the angle of people’s mouths and adjust focus for faces.

    Other people-focused features on the LG-KC780 include easy-to-use shot modes that help make people look their best. With Smile Shot enabled the camera automatically triggers the shutter when it determines that the subject is smiling. And with Beauty Mode users can remove spots and imperfections on people’s faces, making sure the faces appear bright and clear in photos.

    Great memories can happen anywhere and the LG-KC780 has a number features that ensure great shots no matter where they are taken. The LG-KC780 can almost see in the dark with adjustable light sensitivity up to an amazingly high ISO 1600. If an image is too bright, however, LG’s SmartLight™ setting automatically fixes it. A built-in Image Stabilizer ensures that pictures come out clear and sharp, even in shaky situations.

    For those times when a picture is not enough, the LG-KC780’s D1 Video recording captures DVD-resolution video of every exciting moment. This means that movies captured on the handset will still look great when played back on a large screen TV.

    The LG-KC780 is a full featured handset and includes the latest in mobile phone technology, including Smart Bluetooth, which opens up a number of new options when the phone is connected to a personal computer. For example, the phone’s camera can be used as a webcam for use in online conversations. Unlike USB webcams, this world’s first feature means that the camera can easily move with the user, as long as the phone stays within Bluetooth range.”

    This looks like a phone to watch.  Samsung is also coming out with 8 mega pixel camera phones and we suspect Nokia, Motorola and others will be close behind.

    Is Your Cell Phone Spying on You?

    We found this story both interesting and troubling.  Worth taking a look-

    A local news station recently did a story on software available that can be loaded onto a call phone turning the phone into a spy device.

    The story states -

    “The phone secretly detailed her days and nights. We could log on to any computer and get instant access to every single e-mail and text message sent and received, word-for-word. We could track the phone numbers of every incoming call and number she dialed.
