The LG GD900 was unveiled at the 2009 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. This new addition to LG's line of fashionable and stylish phones will be launched in Europe later this year, and hopefully it will make a North American debut shortly thereafter. The transparent glass-like design is the first of it's kind. A first glance it looks like a regular phone but once you slide open the phone it reveals the illuminating transparent keypad, which will certainly turn a few heads. The question is whether this will be the next trend or a short lived fad. Outside of it's sleek design, there hasn't been any information released on the specs and features of this phone.

For a close look, here's a video of the LG GD900...rave music and all...

Dang!! Well dream no more. The JetLev was created by Raymond Li a Chinese-Canadian living in St. John's Newfoundland. I could explain to you how this thing works but I think the video will speak for itself. In a nutshell, the jetpack is tethered to a seperate vessel with a propulsion engine that uses water to power it. This according to the company greatly improves the thrust-to-weight ratio. Believe it or not, this awesomeness will be available for order this April. Although, owning a ride like this is gonna cost you. The 155hp will sell for 99,000 euros and the 215hp model will run you 119,000 euros. [via Engadget]

When I first bought my iPhone, I was disappointed to find out the device didn't come flash enabled. However, as time passed, the web sites with Flash elements that I couldn't view have tackled that issue successfully by opting for alternative solutions. There has been much talk online since the early days of whether or not Flash will be integrated into the iPhone, as well as much speculation that Apple was snubbing them. Regardeless it's still not available and to be honest it really hasn't effected my experience at all.

Wired has a good post on their blog today, and I think I have to agree with their take on Flash. I won't get into all the technically reasons why I've turned my back on Flash for the iPhone. Flash can provide an exciting user experience but trying to navigate a complex flash interface through this device may prove to be a bumpy ride. My thoughts are that it would be an unnecessary addition at this stage...that and most Flash sites these days are just build a bunch of heavy sites that are advertising based.
