Was that meant to be a tongue (cord) twister ? Probably. And I must confess that I it was extremely difficult for me to pronounce it straight even once.

But that doesn’t have any bearing on what the product called Knit Komputer Kord Kozy can do for your computer’s power cable. Because, the designer of this brilliant product seems to have gotten it right. Completely. The hand-knit Knit Komputer Kord Kozy can shield the power cable within and gently guide it to the power slot. And if that’s not appealing enough, this cover (made from high quality ribbon-style yarn) can also be custom ordered in any color or length you need. A wonderful idea to deck out the power cord. Get yours from Etsy at $4.

After seeing pictures of the Samsung Glyde, I believe that we have seen just about everything that can be done with cell phones. It appears that the new industry standard could be a touchscreen along with a QWERTY keyboard. Obviously some new iPhone-ish type of gadget has to come out in order to really revolutionize the mobile phone market any further.

Until then, there is the Glyde. The Glyde is surfing the present industry standard with its touchscreen and QWERTY keyboard. The Glyde, whose official name is the Samsung SCH-U940, has some other very interesting features. Not only does it have a GPS, but there is a full HTML browser as well as V CAST Muisc and Video.

Then, of course, there are the usual bells and whistles such as Bluetooth connectivity, a microSD, and a 2 Megapixel camera with Camcorder for 30-second MMS clips as well as 10 minute normal length clips.

Sadly, some gadget blogs have already downplayed the Glyde, comparing it to the iphone and LG Voyager, and found it wanting. Rumor has it that the Glyde is due for a May 9th release date, and should be available from Verizon for $249 with a two year contract.

Now is the time to stop wetting your pants, Apple fanboys. Like the boy who cried wolf, it seems our earlier report pertaining to Carphone Warehouse and O2’s lack of iPhone stock in the UK was a mere case of misinformation. Apparently, O2 was just “in the process of replenishing 16GB iPhone stocks,” while Carphone Warehouse is “reviewing the stock situation for 16GB iPhones sold through its website, but added that its stores now have them in stock.” Stocks of the 8GB model are also being considered, although just putting more 16GB iPhones would definitely be a no-brainer. With great demand for the iphone all across the world right now, what kind of handset retailer would you have to be to not offer the consumers what they want? We’re not sure what exactly, but one thing we know is that O2 and Carphone Warehouse are definitely not like that.

Before Asus even launches its own desktop Eee PC, its rival MSI has already rolled out a competing product. MSI’s small new wonder is called the Titan, which aside from having a small profile, will also be small on price - at only £235 or about $450 USD, give or take a few. It measures only 9.45 x 7.28 x 2.75-inches, and yet it features a 250GB SATA hard drive, 2 GHz VIA C7 processor, 1GB of DDR 2 memory and VIA’s CN700 integrated chipset. Two USB ports, VGA, TV out, 5.1-channel digital audio out, legacy PS/2 and serial ports, and a Gigabit Ethernet port are all built-in to round out this little baby’s set of I/O ports. While a dual-layer multi-format DVD writer is included to take care of your home theater needs. The catch? It doesn’t come with an OS, which at first of course sucks, but you can bag Linux (what the original Eee PC used to ship with) for free easily anyway, so it’s still kind of OK.

QStarz announced its spanking new Bluetooth GPS receiver known as the BT-Q818. QStarz is even bold enough to claim that this is the most powerful of its kind in the world, and judging by the specifications given so far, they might not be too far off from the truth. You get a 51-channel MTK chipset and low-power consumption hardware that allows it to run up to 32 hours before a recharge is required. You will be able to choose an update rate ranging from 1Hz to 5Hz, depending on just how far you would like its battery to go. No word on pricing, but the BT-Q818 ought to be out sometime in the near future.

If you think Cybershots are currently lacking in style, consider this concept Cybershot camera design by Young Hwan Kim. It features the standard slimness and sexiness found in most of Sony’s little snapping wonders, plus an extra feature - a wide, swiveling camera lens protector at the front.

And it’s unlike any other camera lens protector you’ve ever seen, because when closed it covers the whole face of the camera, and only swivels downward to activate the thing.

The cover itself should be made out of leather, in line with the idea of making the design similar to that of a folding leather wallet. The only letdown to this great concept is that when you put the camera down and try to snap some shots with the built-in timer, you’ll be having a hard time because of the uneven bottom part. But I’m sure that problem would be something Sony will find an easy fix for, if they ever try on a design like this, that is.
