The XBIZ Weekly Tech Watch

This week's Tech Watch includes news about crazy new gadgets and handy new ways to get news and keep track of what's going on.

• Google AdSense will now work with RSS feeds.

GotApps.com keeps track of all iPhone application releases and sends out alerts for new ones.

FlixWagon has released an application to stream live video to Apple iPhones, but like a similar application released this week by Qik.com, it only works on hacked phones.

• Finally: "Tetris" for the iPhone.

• Environmentally conscious webmasters can measure their carbon footprint through CO2Stats.com or use this new green phone from Samsung.

AppJet.com lets programmers build simple JavaScript-based applications in their browsers.

• Nanotechnology may help protecting cell phones by wrapping them in bouncy, microscopic tubes. Speaking of nanotechnology – it may also help the Air Force better waterproof planes.

• If Chewbacca were a binge-drinker, he'd wear this.

• Sony now is only offering the 80-gigbyte version of the PlayStation 3.

• For Mac users, Gizmodo has a review of Logitech DiNovo's new Mac keyboard.

• After a snafu, NetFlix's service is apparently back to normal.

• French company Kapsys has unveiled a new, compact GPS device.

• Tech company Seagate has unveiled some sleek new external hard drives.

• File this under "completely unnecessary": An off-road golf cart.

• This one is hard to explain, but news-tracking service Dipity has unveiled a service for Digg users called Archaelogist that visually tracks all discussions on the site.

• For webmasters who have been trying to watch the Olympics at NBCOlympics.com but don't want to download Microsoft's Silverlight media viewer, the mobile web browser Skyfire offers an alternative.

• Here's a great idea: HitMeLater.com lets users re-send themselves email messages at later times to remind themselves of important information.

PhrazIt.com publishes 30-character reviews of movies, TV and more.
