Electric automobiles are becoming affordable, with Ford’s car leasing at $199 a month, and electric cycles, scooters and skis coming into the market.

A disposable mobile phone is just the sort I want. At $30 for 60 min, and only outbound calls, it’s perfect for my use. So far, it’s not coming to India though.

The 4.1 mega pixel cameras have come in: Olympus’ C4040, Toshiba’s PDR M81, Casio’s QV4000, Sony’s DSC S85 and Canon’s G2. All priced at around $700. (Of course, 5.2 megapixel cameras exist too…)
