New applications for old products

There are numerous blogs which explore alternative uses for the things we throw away. I am a hoarder of things because I don't like to waste things. I am always trying to think of ways to reuse things which would otherwise become waste. If you are similarly minded, then you might like this website. If you are also too buzy like me, you are probably hoarding a lot of stuff as well.
I have a years supply of plastic milk bottles and cardboard cereal boxes.
Country towns are great this way. I note that a lot of the people selling jam in town are using old jam jars which people bring along.

Asus-Garmin designed Nuvifone A50 review

Here is an interesting development in smartphones - a partnership between Asus and Garmin. This phone would find a market with the outdoor enthusiast if it was more durable. At the moment I am clinging on to my Nokia E61i, waiting for the next well designed phone. Sadly Nokia disappointed with the Nokia E71. I even warned them that consumers would have a problem with ever-smaller keypads. Anyway, they didn't listen, so I'm looking for a new supplier.

The problem with the Asus-Garmin designed Nuvifone A50 is that its short of one important spec - its kind of an outdoors phone, but its built to never leave the car. Herein lies the problem. This phone ought to be waterproof to 10metres and more durable , much like Garmin's range of GPS devices, so I could take it anywhere. Anyway, I'll keep waiting. It wouldn't take me much to desert the Windows Operating System, as I'm already off it for mobile communications. Hard to live without excel and Word though.
