Drug dealers rejoice! Disposable phones are heading to the UK. Costing just £10, you can make a few calls then bin it when the fuzz get a sniff of what you're up to. If you don't dabble, and we advise you don't if you fancy staying out of prison, you can use this dealer's phone of choice when visiting the UK without paying roaming charges. It also has a GPS chip for tracking. That's practically doing the police's work for them.
Rubbish husbands rejoice! There's now a ring that'll heat up to remind you that it's your anniversary. If it could tell you what your misses actually likes, and that it's not seven pints bookended by trips to Burger King, then the world would most definitely be a happier place.
Nokia's giving you free music for a year. Its 'Comes With Music' phones will offer you gratis tuneage for 12 months, although none have been announced yet and we don't know what the selection is like. Still though, anything that farts on iTunes' stir fry is good news to us.
Speaking of music, and Nokia, but not farting, the 5320 handset has a great new function for musos everywhere. Just say the name of a track to start it playing. Although, if you hear someone in the street swearing, your NWA playlist might start up unintentionally.
ITV's now on iTunes. Although it's missed the opportunity to call the service iITV, which is a shame. The selection looks a bit poor too, with whimsical fare like Brideshead Revisited and Lewis propping up the schedules. Where's America's Wildest Police Chases, with silver-haired fox Sheriff John Bunnell (retired)? Although given the quality of most of ITV's output, it's a bit like going to a restaurant called Gespatcho a la Insect and complaining there's a fly in your soup.
LG's new phone is called the Secret. Remember that new Black Label handset we exclusively revealed a couple of weeks ago? No? Well it's the world's slimmest 5-meg camera phone, has a touchscreen for media functions, and is called Secret. It's out in May, and looks fantastic.
In other new, Sony buys the Gracenote music database used by iTunes, some nutter has invented jeans with a keyboard on the crotch (don't ask why he's been pressing the same button for half an hour), and the PSP gets video downloads. Oh, and a Dalek voice changing helmet is out soon.
