| New products: Cell phone can take heavy punishment - From the Poughkeepsie Journal Posted: 28 Dec 2010 03:18 AM PST Oops. You just dropped your cell phone in the water. You don't need to fret if you're carrying the Sanyo Taho: The submersible phone from Kyocera can withstand 30 minutes in water down to a depth of about 3 feet. The rugged clamshell phone also can handle dust, shock, vibrations and extreme heat and cold. Designed for the Sprint network, the phone boasts a 2-megapixel digital camera with a flash and video recording, an MP3 player and GPS-enabled navigation options. It also includes 256 megabytes of internal memory, a 1-gigabyte microSD memory card, a 2-inch internal color display and a 1-inch monochrome external display. The phone can be purchased online for about $100 with a two-year service agreement. Work out those tech kinksWhether you're suffering from "BlackBerry elbow," "Kindle thumb" or "laptop back pain," you probably could use some relief. One possible solution is a DVD that teaches you how to reduce the pain that comes from spending so much time with your favorite gizmos. Developed by a fitness guru, "The Desk Athlete" DVD features a three-step massage, stretching and strengthening program that you can do at home or the office. Based on lessons learned from working with his fitness clients, Maik Wiedenbach developed a tech-fitness program that can be completed in 10-minute segments three times a week. It costs about $30. Charger extends play powerYou can keep your favorite gizmo running a bit longer with a power boost from the Duracell myGrid USB Charger. Compatible with smart phones, e-readers, MP3 players and other USB devices, the lithium-ion rechargeable battery can add extra life to your favorite gizmos in between official charges. The USB charger can provide an extra four hours of time on smart phones, 100 extra hours on e-readers, 30 hours of time on MP3 players and 10 hours more on Bluetooth headsets. It costs about $35. It can be recharged with a USB connection on a PC. It also can be recharged on a Duracell myGrid charging mat, which costs about $60. Ottoman hides tech messPlaying Rock Band with your friends and family is great fun — until it's time to clean up the mess. You can hide the extra clutter inside the Rock Band Ottoman from LevelUp. The ottoman contains drum stick loops, Velcro guitar loops and accessory pockets. Roomy enough to hold two guitars, a drum set, a microphone and a drumstick set, the ottoman even comes with a carrying handle, so you can move the party to another room or house. It costs about $200.
