Being one of Nokia’s smallest sliders to date, the Nokia 6600 slide stays true to its name as it smoothly glides open in the hand. Tapping the Nokia 6600 slide twice conveniently indicates time, snoozes, alerts and silences or rejects incoming phone calls. The large 2.2″ QVGA display with 16 million colors also makes it easy to find your way around town, thanks to the integrated Nokia Maps application which can be enhanced with an optional Nokia Bluetooth GPS Module LD-4W and separate navigation license. The 3.2 megapixel camera takes high quality pictures and videos that can be shared with others via Internet services or multimedia message - directly from the photo menu.

Let’s face it - D-Link routers are dime a dozen, and most of the time they come in that dreary drab grey color. Why not add some spice into your geeky life with D-Link’s Skinit skin? There are thousands of designs to choose from, ranging from your favorite sports teams to entertainment, college, and fashion icons amongst others. Should you sift through the thousands of available skins and find nothing that strikes a chord with you, there is always the option to create your own skin by using your favorite photos. Sounds like the perfect birthday gift for that geeky partner of yours! Other than routers, there are many other devices like cell phones and MP3 players which you can give a similar treatment.

To combat air pollution, noise pollution, and the constant rise of gas and oil prices everywhere, a little-known company called Pipistrel started work on possibly the world’s first commercial electric powered light aircraft, and they’re calling it the Taurus Electro. It’s a kick-butt two-seat ultralight aircraft with a 15 meter wing-span and is also intended for glider pilots. Right now, they’re still few steps behind completing the project but if they keep on it, the Taurus Electro just might start hitting runways everywhere by the end of 2008. Tine Tomazic, the company’s test pilot, has confirmed that Pipistrel indeed has the technology to create such a thing already in their hands.
