UK: Sunday Newspapers: News of the World: Gadgets

So today I grabbed a bunch of Sunday Newspapers, whilst out walking our little one. On returning home, the one that had the most interesting selection of Mobile News was the News of the World. Below, a summary of some of the interesting ones in the Gadgets section:
- Vodafone (NYSE: VOD)’s new HSPA USB Modem, able to run at up to 7.2mbps – check it out here
- “Bling” (I really don’t like that word) covers for your mobile devices, including a luxury case for the iPhone worth….er….. £12K! Check them out here
- SpinVox – a “new” service that converts voice messages to text and email – I’lljust skip since pretty much all of IntoMobile will know about this, or similar services
- Last but not least…. a T-shirt that flashes when you are in a WiFi zone, thanks to a hidden battery/sensor in the seam
Anyhow, if you’d like to read more detail on any of these, or plain just see what a £12K iPhone case looks like, check it out here.

can you wash that wifi shirt. seems like it’d be dangerous or at the least, ruin the battery.
Ben,
In my idotic, non-research-head on stupor I neglected to notice that someone at intomobile.com was actually based in the UK!

Where abouts are you chap?
Been kicking around some ideas for a blogger round table at SpinVox for a while now and would be great to get you involved.
Drop me an email if you’re interested.
Cheers!
