Gadgetell | Tech News, Reviews, and Interesting Things

Everybody hates being caught by speed cameras: it is annoying, humiliating and also expensive, and that is why Novus have come up with the “Mini Coyote” which allows drivers to alert others of speed cameras in as little as three seconds.  The little gadget will sit on your dashboard, and when you spot a speed camera that isn’t already in the database you press the handy button and before you know it everyone with that gadget knows of it.

“Brilliant!“ I hear you cry, finally a way to beat those money grabbing machines, which it does quite effectively.  Although this idea isn’t new, the super speed at which it does it allows the community of users to quickly build up a good idea of where all the speed traps are due to the fact that it only takes 3 seconds.  The little gadget will then tell you if you are approaching any speed cameras, your speed, and will tell you to slow down if you are going too fast thus avoiding a fine. 

Plenty more after the break.

UK mobile phone users are getting the option of a free 8GB Nokia N95 from either Vodafone or 3. While you do technically get the phone for free, there is a small catch. In order to get that low price of nothing you must be willing to sign an 18-month contract. Nice, only an 18-month contract, the monthly rates do vary in price though. Vodafone will run you £35.00 (around $70 US) a month for 500 anytime minutes and 500 text messages. The offer from 3 is a little cheaper at £30.00 (around $60 US) a month, but you only get 300 minutes or texts (or any mix of the two). Sounds like a good deal to us, check ‘em out for yourself, Vodafone and 3.
