OK so this isn’t news about a new device, but it does win on the kookiness factor, the geek rating, and the downright cute-o-meter!
Our buddies over at fonehome.co.uk have somehow managed to get their hands on a boxed set of Android toys! The toys feature some wick-eed art, and a variety of the little plastic critters to satisfy the uber-geek inside you.
The Mini Android Collectables are 12 amazing Android figures, featuring Octopoid, Hi-Voltage, Albino, Creature and just plain green Android. And we’ve snaffled up a box of 16 and snapped our selection.
Check out the photo gallery on this link, but below, my personal favourite from the set:
You should be able to buy these in the UK soon enough we’re told – but I bet they sell out fast after being bought by Google OS-toting geek-a-noids – I know I’ll be getting some then
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career
when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has
now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the
next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!
He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently
became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years
when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to
'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make
your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device)
isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question
of why you continue to use it...
His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and
infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the
occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience
in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with
regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
