Samsung Show W7900

Samsung officially unveiled its Show W7900 cell phone that will feature Texas Instruments’ integrated DLP Pico technology. The Show W7900 is also known as the i7410, and will come with the built-in chipset and compact projector which is able to throw an image from the handset to a screen or wall at up to 50″ in size, although don’t expect this to work great outdoors or under bright light conditions as it will probably perform in a similar manner as that of earlier generation projectors.

Features:

  • OLED touchscreen display
  • Flick gestures support
  • 5 megapixel camera
  • Built-in speakers

We do hope Samsung has plans to release a North American version of the i7410 instead of letting the Koreans have all the fun.

Film 2 SD Immortalizes Negatives Digitally

Film 2 SD is yet another gadget that helps you transfer negatives from your old photo collection to an SD memory card directly, featuring an integrated LCD display for you to view a preview. In addition, it has the capability of mirroring, flip or rotate your images for direct transfer onto your computer (or SD card if you choose) through a USB connection. Each £119.95 purchase comes with a 1GB SD memory card to get you started, which is enough to store approximately 700 5 megapixel resolution images. Not only that, it also plays nice with microSD/SDHC memory cards. Time to bust out those rolls of negatives and store them digitally for posterity.

MSI lays claim to the slimmest all-in-one LCD PC in the world iwth its AP1900, measuring a mere 35mm in depth.

  • 160 degrees viewing angle
  • Intel Atom processor
  • Energy-saving and noise-reduction functions
  • Adjustable 5° to 15° back-and-forth
  • Integrated webcam
  • Dual track quality microphone

No final word has been given on how much this 4kg PC will cost you, but it is an idea for those moving into a small apartment and need every single possible square inch.

Garmin Asus Nuvifone

Forget Eee Phones: Garmin and Asus have created a strategic alliance to design, build and sell co-branded Nuvifones, starting with the original one—now called G60—and moving towards Windows Mobile and Android.

Yes, the delayed Nuvifone is still scheduled to come out in the first half of 2009. There’s no carrier or price announcement yet—Garmin says they are in active negotiations with GSM carriers in North America (so, AT&T and T-Mobile) and in Europe—but now it will be named the Garmin-Asus Nuvifone G60, and will be the first in a line of Garmin-Asus smartphones. It will be on display and ready for groping at next month’s Mobile World Congress (formerly known as 3GSM).

It also makes it clear that Garmin is done toeing the water of the cellphone business, and is ready to jump in, holding the hand of Asus. The only casualty here is probably going to be the G60. If it were Garmin’s only offering, maybe people who love Garmin would go for it, but now, even those Garmin lovers know that better cooler things are coming—with choices from Windows Mobile and Android. Here’s hoping the G60 is cheap and village-idiot simple.
