Apple has confirmed that its much-anticipated iPhone product will launch on 29 June in the US. The date was given in a series of TV adverts broadcast on Sunday, and was later confirmed by a spokesman for the California-based company.

The device, which combines the features of a mobile phone and personal digital assistant, will sell for $499 (£251) and $599, depending on configuration.

The adverts on sunday showed off several of the gadget’s features, including surfing the net, watching videos and scrolling through e-mails using a finger as a pointer.

They ended with the news that the phone would be available “Only on the new AT&T” and “Coming June 29″.

pong on a dressThe Pong Dress is the creation of artists Max Moswitzer and Magarete Jahrmann of the Ludic Society.

The classic video game Pong is implemented on a 5×7 LED screen worked into the front of the dress. Two pixels on the right and left borders form the paddles; a single pixel is the “ball” moving back and forth.

At hip level, two retro-style game console controllers are plugged in to play the game. Every time a point is scored, the green score display at chest level blinks.

binary ringThis is the sweetest binary gadget I’ve ever seen, the binary wedding ring.

On the Binary rings, there are 5 parallel tracks running around the ring, each track representing a digit in the binary lexicon. The track is engraved for 1 and left blank for 0. In this way, the five lines of engraving which progress around the ring spell out, in combination, your personalized message.

The message on the ring above reads “A Marriage of Values”. Your message may contain up to 20 characters. Cast in either recycled gold or recycled platinum.

You can get your binary ring from greenKarat or $1750 for the platinum version.

The ZapTag comes in two data sizes: 256 and 512 mega byte, giving plenty room for carrying photos and music files, and for added security, the data can be encrypted with blowfish data encryption.

The ZapTag is made of rubber, so is robust and water resistant, suitable for most sports and adrenalin junkies.

Available from ZapTag.
