TerreStar Working on Satellite-Cell Hybrid Phone

Thursday, July 2, 2009

Stranded on a desert island? A satellite phone is just the ticket, but for all those other times, you probably want a traditional cell phone. TerreStar plans to combine the best of both worlds with a hybrid satellite-cell phone (not unlike the satellite phone pictured above), possibly due out later this year. The target market is government agents and emergency workers who need service even when there is none, but this kind of phone could be useful for adventurers who don’t want to be cut off completely from the world. The biggest question of all — pricing — isn’t known yet, so it remains to be seen whether TerreStar can avoid the fate of past ventures, such as Iridium and Odyssey.

A Gold-Plated Wii for Queen Elizabeth

Queen Elizabeth puts her pants on just like the rest of us, one leg at a time, except once her pants are on, she gets a gold-plated Wii. Yes, the Queen Mum’s got a fever, and the only prescription is tacked-on motion controls and the illusion of exercise. This is actually a publicity stunt by THQ for its upcoming Big Family Games, with the story that the Royal Family is “arguably the most important family in the country,” so the company had to commission this special console. Nevermind the fact that she already has one. I guess this will allow Prince William to spend more time with Madworld, or maybe the extra attention will help put an end to later game release dates in England (and the rest of Europe, by proxy). Either that, or the golden Wii will collect dust just like everyone else’s.
