Both the iPhone and the Blackberry are full featured phones. What is it that makes the two of them so different? Why do people fall so dramatically either into one camp or the other when it comes to these phones.

First of all the iPhone seems to be better looking even though the Blackberry is no slouch in the looks department itself. There is something very futuristic about the iPhone which has the touch tone screen. The void black space that icons seem to appear in is very appealing and futuristic.  It looks more like a toy than the Blackberry which looks more like a mini- lap top computer.

The email service on a Blackberry is supposed to be superior to the iPhone. It has a Microsoft Exchange server that downloads the message immediately on the phone. An LED light indicates that a new message has been received. The iPhone recognizes new message in fifteen minutes and needs to be checked manually by the user or it is ineffective.

The iPhone is very friendly to all kinds of different application. The Blackberry is made with older software that is difficult to create applications for. That is because the tools that are used to create these programs are a bit out of date.

The Blackberry browser is only a primitive one compared to the great Safari style browser of the iPhone. The iPhone browser seems to load pages more slowly than the Blackberry.

Every Blackberry ever made has the full QUERTY keyboard except for one model known as “The Storm.”  The iPhone has a virtual touch screen keyboard that takes some people some time to master.

The iPhone battery seems to run out faster than the battery on an iPhone. This makes it less reliable for corporate or emergency use. On the other hand the iPhone has better reception than the Blackberry.

The iPhone is more of a multimedia entertainment center than the Blackberry.  It is far ahead of any other device. The Blackberry camera is superior to the iPhone.  However when it comes to multimedia in general the Apple iPhone simply has more features.

In terms of usability there is a lot of contention about which phone is better. Blackberry users have a lot of short cut keys that allow them to complete tasks faster. TheiPhone keyboard is more intuitive and how well you adjust to using that keyboard might have a lot to do with whether or not you can operate it successfully. For instance if you have big fingers you might do better with a Blackberry and Stylus rather than fumbling constantly with the touchscreen of the iPhone.

There are now numerous gadgets on the market that can make the life of a diabetic much easier.

 For those who need to take daily insulin doses, OmniPod is a godsend. All you have to do is stick this OmniPod on your abdomen, lower back, arm or anywhere that your health care provider has shown you and  then forget about it. It does away with painful injections. You can do anything you want while wearing it including sleep or take a bath.  It also has a glucose meter built right into the unit.

If you want to integrate your diabetes management technology with your cell phone then try out the Gluco-Phone. This is a blood glucose monitor that can be integrated with your cell phone making it the most convenient blood glucose monitor available on the market. The test result can be stored in an online electronic logbook which can be accessed by the diabetic or the caregiver and this gets rid of the need to record the data manually. You can also configure it so that it enables real time monitoring for someone not close to the patient.

Seven Plus is a wireless device that can monitor your glucose levels 24 hours a day. It shows you where your glucose reading is every five minutes and where it has been in the immediate past and where it is about to head.  This gadget for diabetics is incredibly useful when it comes to preventing dreaded blood sugar crashes.

The i-port Injection Port makes the injection of insulin a lot easier, especially if you are left on your own to do it yourself several times a day. It is a small medication delivery channel through which you can inject the needle without puncturing your skin everytime. When applying the iPort a soft cannula will be inserted via a insertion needle. Once it is attached to your skin it can be worn up to 72 hours and can accommodate 75 injections at a time before it has to be removed.

If there is one thing that most diabetics are sick of it is needles. This is where the Medi-Jector Vision Needle Free Insulin Delivery System can come in handy. It uses pressure to create a micro-thin stream of insulin that penetrates the skin in a fraction of a second in a completely effective, quick and most of all absolutely painless way. It can be used with all brands of U-100 insulin in vials. The disposable, multi-use needle-free syringes are also seeing through so you can easily view the full insulin dose.

Most of these gadgets are quite expensive as is always the case with any medical device that is supposed to make our lives easier.

One of the latest fads in gadgets is to disguise them as jewels.

As Bluetooth headsets are most likely to look like jewelry they are often the most blinged out of gadgets. The Universal Wireless Bluetooth Headset H350 is just such a gadget but it is encrusted with the famous Rose and Jet Design that is practically the logo of the famous Swarovski crystal company.  This particular headset is encrusted with the crystals. It is also compatible with Nokia, Samsung, Motorola and LG phones.

Casa Gi is making gold and diamond encrusted earphones. These look like something from Star Trek. They are roundish with art deco trails and consist of 118 diamonds embedded in 128 carat gold. Is this type of luxury heavy to hang on the ear?  These seven thousand dollar earrings are actually surprisingly light.

Flash drive blings are also incredibly popular. Swarovski crystal company makes a heart shaped version that splits apart with a twist of the wrist. This is a good choice for the lady of the house. The man of the house might prefer the same sort of bling in the shape of padlock.

Swarovski also has created stereo headphones that are completely encrusted with amethysts. They also spark with millions of tiny lights as music plays. Ideally these would look great on any DJ spinning records in a club.

The height of luxury is the crystal encrusted toilet that has been created by Swarovksi. If you are a huge fan of Swarovski works of art and adore all these unique and exclusive, fashionable and stylish things you’ll have to pay over twelve grand for a sparkling toilet in which every inch is paved with crystals.

Apple has created a very nice Jewelry Ring for remote controlling execution with Apple products.  This is a white enamel ring that goes on your finger that has a blue light in the shape of an apple in the center. \ Invented and designed by Victor Soto, serves as a good controlling device for iPhone and iPod. It is also a really cool space age piece of jewelry. It has built-in Bluetooth technology and sensitive touch screen through which we can remotely manage iPod or iPhone. THE OLED strip screen perfectly displays the controlling functions that are being executed which makes this a truly functional bling.

If that is not enough you can also play your games in style. You can now get a gameboy in solid 18k gold with diamond accents on the control buttons. This glamorous gameboy has paved diamonds outlining the display screen.  It’s a steal at only twenty five thousand dollars.
