When having a ridiculously awesome wine collection and a super posh cellar just isn't cool enough for you gadget-crazed, database-mongers out there, organizing your bottles could become your new obsession. This organization called ThingM is highlighting their concept product for a RFID-enabled database system called WineM, that can store your collection by a number of different variables, including regions and varietals, and allows you to call up the perfect bottle on a handheld device. Visit their site to see a video and shots of the UI, and check out a close-up of the actual gadget after the jump.

Digital Video Hits Phones

Filed under: Gadgets

LG has just released their U900 phone, which is reported to be the first DVB-H phone in the world. DVBH stands for Digital Video Broadcasting - Handheld, a slightly smaller version of same technology that works for digital TV. The phone and its digital imaging technology will first be available in Italy, where the carrier Hutchinson, the largest service carrier in Italy, has obtained the exclusive DVB rights to the 2006 World Cup. After the World Cup is complete and an Italian base has been established, the phone will be marketed globally.

The screen is 2.2-inches wide and users can watch for up to three hours on one battery charge. The phone also has a 1.3 mega-pixel VGA digital camera and 58 MB memory. Rumor has it that Samsung Electronics plans to introduce a DVB-H phone to the Italian market this month, as well.
