The best part of a BlackBerry is its full-fledged QWERTY, which is so handy for typing messages using your two thumbs. If you’re an iPhone user, you get only the touchscreen version of QWERTY, which lacks of the actual feel and tactile feedback of a physical QWERTY of a BlackBerry.
Thanks to the iTwinge keyboard, which you can now use it to turn your iPhone into a BlackBerry-like device, presenting you a full QWERTY to ease your messaging on the iPhone.
The iTwinge QWERTY costs you only $30. It simply slips into the bottom of the iPhone, to let your iPhone have a full-fledged QWERTY. The iTwinge works both for the iPhone 3G and 3GS versions, which is what you need if you’re a heavy texter but wish to stick to using the iPhone.

The second generation of iPhone comes with 3G support which allows you to hook up to the Internet with super high-speed HSPA Internet connection. It’s a good idea to share your iPhone’s Internet connection to some of your computers nearby via WiFi.
PdaNet, developed by June Fabrics Technology, has been a popular application for Palm OS and Windows Mobiles-based devices, which turns them into a WiFi router that other computers and gadgets can share the Internet connection. Now, a latest version of this app has been made available for the Apple iPhone, but it’s only usable on a jail-broken iPhone.
Having the PdaNet installed on your jail-broken iPhone, the iPhone can then serve as a WiFi router which lets other computers and gadgets nearby to share its Internet connection via WiFi network.
Having your iPhone to serve as a WiFi Internet router surely drains the battery quickly. So, it’s recommended to charge the iPhone at the same time while it’s being used as a router. I guess the iPhone will get little hot too after it’s been used continuously for a couple of hours with tons of IP packets pumping through it.

There are some lights in the garage or garden that you may want to leave it on overnight and turn it off early in the morning. It’s handy to have a timer switch that is able to automate the switching on and off the lights for your home.
The Aube Solar Timer Switch is such a handy timer switch, which is smart enough to turn on the lights for you just before sunset and turn it off before sunrise. You may have dealt with a number of timer switches before, which most of them have given headache of adjusting the precise times for sunset and sunrise.
But the Aube timer switch works differently from others, and it simplifies everything for you, by needing you to program into it the latitude and the longitude of the city that you live. It’ll then be able to adjust by itself and turn the lights on and off precisely just before dusk and dawn. It’s best used for controlling incandescent, halogen or fluorescent lighting.
