Microsoft's best app ever...Tellme, but it's for BlackBerry

Mike McCue, CEO of recently-acquired-by-Microsoft Tellme, says that the reason why Tellme works on Blackberry and not Windows Mobile is that primarily Tellme was in development when Microsoft acquired it, and since Blackberry has better support for Java, it made sense to develop tell me for Blackberry first.

So what does Tellme do??

It lets you search local directory entries, based on your GPS location by just talking to the app. Like if you say "coffee" or "Starbucks," phone's screen displays the closest matches to you, based on your GPS location. Options include calling the searched location, mapping it, getting directions, or sharing the link with someone else.

Knight Armour redux, invented by Troy Hurtubise for just $2000 apiece

This armored suit called the Trojan has withstood knives, bullets, light explosives, clubs, and even a round from an elephant gun, it sounds like quite the winner. Proclaimed to be the "first ballistic, full exoskeleton body suit of armor," Trojan is crafted from high-impact plastic lined with ceramic bullet protection over ballistic foam, and features nearly endless compartments, morphine / salt containers, knife and gun holsters, emergency lights, a built-in recording device, pepper spray, ingestible transponder for those "last resort" scenarios, and there's even a fresh air system powered by solar panels within the helmet. Mr. Hurtubise claims the 18 kilograms (40 pounds) suit is comfortable enough to make road trips in (yes, he tried it), and if any major military would take him up on it, they could reportedly be produced for "around $2,000 apiece." Now that's a bargain, folks. Check out more here
