Apple iPhone 3GS

Main features:

Camera: 2048 x 1536 pixels, 3.15 megapixel, autofocus, geo-tagging, touch focus

Voice Control recognizes the names in your Contacts and knows the music on your iPod. So if you want to place a call or play a song, all you have to do is ask.

With a built-in digital compass, iPhone 3GS can point the way. Use the new Compass app, or watch as it automatically reorients maps to match the direction you’re facing.

Cut, copy, and paste words and photos, even between applications. Copy and paste images and content from the web, too.

Voice Memos. Capture and share a thought, a memo, a meeting, or any audio recording on the go with the new Voice Memos application.

I prefer the iPhone because I like the looks and the performances but booth phones are very good so choosing one it is a matter of personal preferences.

ATM Savings Bank

Want to save money in a funny manner? Then the ATM Savings Bank is the gadget for you.

 

This battery-operated cashpoint-style piggy bank allows you to make deposits and withdrawals without leaving home, and it even recognises the value of each coin so you can check your ‘balance’ whenever you like.

Notes are deposited via a motorised slot under the keypad and coins go in a slot by the LCD screen.

There are even a few flashing lights and realistic beep-beep whirr-whirr sounds to add to the realism.

ATM Savings Bank features:

• Recognizes each coin and lets you set a target savings amount and check your balance at any time
• Accepts both coins and notes – automatically draws in notes through front slot
• "Bank card" included. Insert your card and input a 4 digit code to use the ATM. (Please don’t use this ATM card at a real ATM machine. You wouldn’t think we would have to point that out…)
• Coins automatically counted; notes require value to be keyed in
• Alarm clock and calendar function
• Machine lights up and makes "real" ATM sounds when in use, (whatever "real" ATM sounds are).

Pricing and availability

The ATM savings bank cost £19.99 and you can find it on Firebox.com.
