The newest phone that joins the Sony Ericsson music phone brigade, the W595 slider, is among a few entrants to bring in an ultimate multimedia experience.

Here we get to lay our hands on yet another Altec Lansing headphone and this time it’s the Backbeat106.
This noise cancellation headphone is aimed at all those who listen to music while on the go. At the first glance, the headphone looked quite pretty in a golden metallic enclosure with a rubber covering half the enclosure and a unique cloth cable. Sporting a Snug-fit design, it is very much light in weight and we tried wearing it both the ways, straight in the ear as well as molded over-the-ear. The cloth cable Read the rest of this story >>Nintendo DSi
With the Gameboy, Nintendo revolutionized handheld gaming and conquered the world. And with the DS/DS Lite, they pretty much did it again. The DSi is not the next revolution, but it’s an intriguing evolution.
The DSi has been out in Japan since November, and it comes to US stores this Sunday for $170. It still plays the normal DS games, plus it supports new iPhone-app-like DSiWare titles, captures digital pictures/audio and utilizes SD storage.
In terms of specs, there are a few notable upgrades.
- screens are 17% bigger than the last DS
- two .3MP cameras (one facing front, one back) that take shots to internal memory or newly-supported SD cards
- an ARM9E CPU clocked at 133 MHz (in place of the original ARM9/66MHz)
- 16 MB of RAM
The DSi could could make DS gaming into something frighteningly granular. Then again, $2-$5 DSiWare quality already looks to outpace the games you get on the iPhone for the same amount.

Concord C1 Quantum Gravity watch
We’re still trying to wrap our heads around some of the indecipherable verbiage the company has used to describe it, but it looks like Concord’s C1 QuantumGravity watch is at last very much real, and one step closer to actually being available (to a very select few).
As you can see above, while there’s still a few finishing touches remaining, the watch itself is pretty faithful to all those early renders that the company has been teasing us with since January, right down to the magical “fluorescent nanoparticle liquid” that’s used to indicate the life remaining in the 3-day power reserve. Those curious about all things mechanical and tiny can also get a look at the complete build process by hitting up the read link below, or simply head on past the break for a video full of much spinning and unnecessary Matrix-style imagery.

This is not at all surprising to hear, since developers these days are so willing to share the latest build of operating systems as soon as they get it. This latest leak shows that the recent new Snow Leopard build (10A335) sports a handy screen grab feature, this new native ability links in with QuickTime to “record” your on-screen activities. I suppose it then convenient makes a video and saves it on your desktop just like the current screenshot capture function that our Mac OS Xs’ have. Again, this in my view is another thoughtful function that Microsoft will never think of.

As the release date of the Panasonic’s DMC GH1 draws ever close to April 24, we get more and more excited about it. After all, you must admit that the red color it comes in looks extremely sexy, but is the design worth the tradeoff of a $1,500 price point? At the very least you will find the G1 come with a video capture mode as well as perform various functions in which both Nikons and Canons cannot - that is, capturing 1080p video at 24fps in addition to continuous contrast-based autofocus with a silent-focusing lens.
Canon 5D Mark II Flash Drive
Miniatures are always fun to look at, and here we have the Canon 5D Mark II that not only looks cute when shrunk down to such a level, it also boasts the added functionality of being a highly portable USB flash drive as well, holding up to 4GB of information. While the real thing costs a wallet-thumping $3,500, this one is going on eBay with a starting bid of $95.
Alien-like Speakers
These all-in-one speakers by Erick Sakal are actually a multifunctional dock-enabled system with modern wireless capabilities.
The concept is extremely mind-boggling to the eyes, introducing multi-functionality without taking up precious space that is very much appreciated in this day and age. A subwoofer is integrated into the center quite discreetly, while a couple of side tweeters and a prime speaker on top rounds off the list of features in addition to Bluetooth connectivity for a truly wireless lifestyle. No final word on pricing has been given yet.
Diguang Super Slim LED Monitors
Diguang of China has released its latest range of LED monitors that are 19″ in size, but measure a mere 13.3mm thick while tipping the scales at just 2.5kg - that’s roughly half the weight of a standard 19″ model. Besides, Diguang makes sure their LED monitors are environmentally friendly by virtue of being mercury-free wihle emitting extremely low levels of VLF and ELF (very low frequency and extremely low frequency) emissions compared to television-style CRT monitors. They consume only 20 watts of power on average, helping you save a considerable amount of money each month if your organization is still stuck with comparable 19″ CCFL monitors.
LumoPro LP120, a completely manual camera flash
The LumoPro LP120 is the most versatile all manual flash in production today. In its one size fits all design, it offers 4 ways of synchronization with your camera through its PC port, miniphone port,
optical slave sensor and hotshoe (PC/Miniphone cord included.) This diversity also provides you with backup options should, for example, your existing radio slaves lose power or you forget your sync cord at home. Using your flash off your camera has never been easier.
With its 270-degree swivel and 180-degree tilt, you will be able to bounce the light off any wall, ceiling, and most light modifiers (using your forehead is not recommended.) The manual zoom function allows you to focus the beam
regardless of your lens focal length. The wide-angle adapter helps disperse the beam to a greater degree. The standard flash head design insures that almost any light modifier on the market will fit securely. The LP120 is color neutral and offers 6 power variations.
While we know how pricey the Sony VAIO P Series may already be, we didn’t get to really try it out and get hands on with it recently. After having done that at the Gadget Show Live recently, we truly agree that if you had the desire and the money to spend on the new Sony portable beast then you should also drop your coin on this, Vaja’s leather made “ivolution suit”.

SanDisk’s slotRadio player, which we’re still struggling to understand, is all set to ship on March 31st after debuting alongside a gazillion other gadgets at CES.
For those who’ve forced themselves to forget, this microSD music player can handle your own jams on your own microSD card, or alternatively, can accept pre-loaded Billboard hits cards which house over 1,000 songs that are nicely categorized by genre. It’ll be available from SanDisk’s own website on March 31st for $99 (which includes a card with over a thousand songs), and it should be ready to ruin Father’s Day when it slips into Radio Shack locations shortly thereafter.
Kogan GPS Watch
Last week it was their first netbook; before that, Android smartphones. Now Kogan have set their sights on our wrists, but be warned: you’ll have had to do some serious arm exercises before wearing the Kogan GPS Watch. Billed as “the most feature packed watch on the market”, it’s a combination Bluetooth, GPS, pedometer, altimeter timepiece, among other things.
Kogan suggest you could use the GPS Watch to record your exercise and plot your routes on Google Earth; alternatively you can keep a track of positioning while mobile, to make sure you don’t misplace your car. It also works as a temperature sensor and speedometer, together with having the usual sports watch functionality of alarm, stopwatch and timer.
Since it has integrated Bluetooth you can also pair the watch with a laptop, smartphone or PDA, making it a tethered GPS receiver. In fact the one thing Kogan don’t mention is exactly how much it weighs or what its exact measurements are. The Kogan GPS Watch is available now, priced at AUS$129 (US$85).
Amadana SAL Pocket Video Recorder
Japanese manufacturer Amadana has released its SAL pocket video recorder that not only records your favorite memories in MPEG4 format, it is also able to capture 3-megapixel stills with its CMOS image sensor. All these are crammed into a tiny body that measures 54mm x 95mm x 12mm, tipping the scales at a mere 85 grams to make this one of the more pocket friendly devices to date.
Too bad the 2GB internal memory cannot be augmented by any memory card slot, leaving the USB port as the only means to transfer data over to your computer once it is filled to the brim. No idea on pricing though, but this looks set to be a Japan-only device.
Fusion-io ioDrive Duo - World’s Fastest SSD
Fusion-io’s original ioDrive was stupid fast, but the next generation makes even that look pathetic. Try 1.5GB sustained read speeds and 1.4GB sustained write speeds.
Fusion-io has also blown the slot capacity of their previous model out of the water with versions of the PCI Express Duo available in 160GB, 320GB, 640GB and 1.28TB sizes. Three of the four versions will be available starting in April with the 1.28GB version slated for the second half of 2009. If you are wondering how much it will cost, that probably means you cant afford it. Specifics have not been made available, but we are talking tens of thousands of dollars on the high end here.
If you recognize Fusion-io, it’s the company Woz just joined as Chief Scientist. Since he just joined, we doubt he had anything to do with the ioDrive’s inception and production, but he’ll most likely have a hand in doing their upcoming products.
Transcend StoreJet Portable Hard Drive
Transcend Information has revealed information concerning their latest addition to its StoreJet line of portable hard drives, the StoreJet 25M-R. Available in 250GB and 320GB capacities, you will have yet another option to consider when you want to pick up a portable hard drive for additional storage or backup purposes.
When we pay a certain amount of money for a product we obviously expect ( when we take off the plastic) to find the product we purchased. Well you are not going to bealive what a Florida Teen found when he opened the Nintendo DS box.
Brian Lawrence leads G.E.’s holographic storage program.The most powerful way of data storage is on its way.
General Electrics is working on something incredible. Even though it has only had laboratory success at the moment, if all goes well, we are looking at a whole new way of storage. The goal is by 2011-2012 that their micro holographic storage become a reality.
If they want this system to work it is going to have to work in products that can be mas produced at affordable prices. This new era of storage relies on smaller, less complicated holograms. For those who are not familiar with the word Holography it is an optical process that stores 3D images (credit cards for example), and can also stores the 1’s and 0’s of digital data as well.After that the data is encoded in light patterns that are stored in light sensitive material. These holograms works like tiny mirrors, that do their job reflecting light patterns when a laser shoots its laser at them.That data can be retrieved and deciphered.
Try the new lightweight Genius camcorder with its 11 megapixel images. This small camcorder will try its best to please you.
Genius has created the G-Shot HD520 Camcorder. I do not think we like our camcorder to feel like bricks, Genius kept that in mind when making this camcorder, it only weighing in at 6 ounces. Do not underestimate its size, this little camcorder records in at 720p resolution and can give you pics at 11 megapixels, nice.
Looks like the second time is the charm, after the Indian Government tried to purchase these laptops earlier but at the end were unable, The Indian Government has come to an agreement with the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project, and now these beautiful kids will be able to have their very own laptops.
250,000 OLPC have been ordered for its schools. These laptops will be distributed to 1,500 Indian Schools, those school will get the OLPC XO Laptops. One thing is not confirmed if they will get the latest version with the upgraded processor and storage capacity.
I think its time that we remembered our geeklings who also live in the technology era.So they can entertain themselves but without the violence that usually accompanies mostly all video games, I wanted to recommend some violence free games for them to enjoy.
Our first recommendation is Animal Crossing.Its a great way to keep our precious kids busy and entrained.To give you an idea of what this game is all about, sometime our eyes appreciate the rest and instead of reading watching a short video is nice. Enjoy.
When we feel the need to disconnect, listen to our favorite music and relax, we want to do it with the brand we trust. For the Sony people out there everyone, there a new pair of portable speakers to choose from but I sadly inform you that it is only available in Japan.
Could this be the ultimate data protector? If you have confidential information and ,like many, are scared that something will happen and all your information will be lost? Then it is understandable that you are looking for something you can trust and that will withstand you typical dangers like Fire, Water,Earthquakes etc.
The Axxana Phoenix Black box is something you might want to look at. This black box can withstand fire of 450 degrees F for up to six hours, or in more extreme situations it is also able to withstand 2000F for a whole hour and still you data will be O.K.
The pre-orders started off today at 1pm EST for the Viliv S5.With the times that are running spending $599, makes people thing twice, but there are some things that are worth spending a high amount of money.Some people just need to hear a certain something that just convinces them to buy X product. Ihope you hear something in the following video that helps you decide.
We will have to wait until April30th to be able to look at this monitor up close and personal. Wait until then to look at its 21.5 Inch entry level Full HD LCD with LED back-light. For $170.00 (129.45€), which is how much the LG W2243T will grab from your wallet, will also give you a 1000:1 contrast ratio,30000:1 dynamic ratio, DVI (HDCP) and D-Sub ports, a brightness level of 300cd/m2 and a view angle of 160/170 degrees.

Sony HX1 takes lots of pictures really fast
Sony’s whizbang camera Sony Hx1 features (HD video aside), like iSCN Advance or the anti-handheld twilight mode (which gives you a clear shot in low light, where usually a handheld camera would give you a blurry mess) all use the same basic technology, just applied differently for each feature. They all take a burst of shots really quickly—and combine them or pick out the right shot to come up with a clear one.
The sweep panorama shooting process is surprisingly easy, the way it should be. You flip to panorama mode on the dial, and when you press the shutter down, a scrollbar pops up on the bottom that starts at the left and slides to the right as you swing the camera. On the camera, all of the results look really smooth, but we’ll have to see one at full resolution before we’re truly blown away.

Even though it is only a pro-type for the moment, this way of seeing things looks interesting.SBG Labs is one of many trying to achieve this technology.These glasses are just a little larger than many chic pairs of glasses, but these glasses feature something different than the traditional pair.They feature tiny projectors and optics hidden on the side of the frame.
Why is it called heads up? because you will always be able to look through them and see the real world - but you also be able to see, on an overlay image, virtual information like an electronic map or an arrow showing the correct way to a destination.Another cool feature is that if you forget a friends name these glasses will help you remember the name if your friend, so if you have a forgetful spell, with these glasses you will get away with it. good thing that these contact lenses are also being developed for mobile displays.Nowadays, it is certainly a plus is it gets along with our cell phone.

Seagate Free Agent Theater HD Media Player
The Free Agent Theater HD Media Player uses composite, S-Video and component video inputs, coaxial out for Dolby Digital surround sound. Its integrated dock is for the FreeAgent Go, what Seagate says is the world’s thinnest external HDD, but there’s a USB port for other storage devices, in case you’re fresh out of FreeAgents. Its on-screen interface can display either file/folder trees or previews and thumbnails. And because of the Theater HD’s dual-channel video converter, you can upconvert all your video files to 720p or 1080i. There’s no 1080p support, and besides, there’s no HDMI, though Seagate says something like that will come along later this year.
As for the on-screen UI and accompanying remote, there are also easy one-touch buttons that will allow you to perform simple tasks automatically, such as starting a slideshow of photos and music, simultaneously, with just one button. Even DVD files, ripped onto your external hard drive, can be played simply by going to the DVD’s folder and clicking the play or menu button on the remote, without having to hunt for the actual video file. Seagate says the system supports MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 formats, and DIVX files with video resolutions for NTSC, PAL and HD up to 1080i, and that it even supports subtitles. It does not, however, handle H.264.
Available on March 4, the Seagate FreeAgent Theater HD will sell for $130. It is also bundled with a 250GB FreeAgent Go drive for $230, or better still, a 500GB model for $280.

Nano Breathe Checks For Diseases
Applied Nanodetectors Ltd. (AND) from the UK is currently parading a prototype cell phone at the International Nanotechnology Exhibition & Conference that is able to detect various diseases simply by analyzing the user’s breath. The phone itself is made by Nokia, featuring AND’s chip inside that features integrated sensors which are able to detect minute traces of different gases including CO2, NOx and ammonia (NH3). Once detected, the chip will get to work by analyzing the composition of the user’s breath while tabulating the density of each gas. The results will be compared against characteristics of various diseases in order to detect whether one is possibly suffering from a certain type of disease or not. Sounds cool, but the phone is still a long way off from being commercially available.

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.

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

- Energy-saving and noise-reduction functions
- Adjustable 5° to 15° back-and-forth
- Integrated webcam
- Dual track quality microphone
- Stereo 3W speakers

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.
Tokyoflash Heko
Tokyoflash watches, by now need no introduction. Here’s their new “HEKO”.
Features
- polished stainless steel
- sharp parallel lines
- mirrored lenses
- a combination of lit LEDs show the hour
- custom designed strap
The Tokyoflash Heko comes out a price of $109.
Garmin FR Fitness Watch
Watches today do more than watches could do in the past. I have seen watches that have cell phones built-in and watches that connect to the Internet. Garmin is a brand closely associated with GPS devices, but the company has a wider range of products and has introduced a new watch.
It would be easy to assume that the new watch offers GPS capability, but it doesn’t. The watch monitors data from your workouts and saves it for wireless transmission to your computer for analysis. The watch is compatible with any ANT+ fitness device like heart rate monitors, foot pods, or home and gym equipment.
The FR60 comes in men’s and women’s versions that can track and record data for up to 15 hours and 100 laps of detailed exercise data. The watch is also water resistant for tracking workouts involving swimming. Once data is recorded, it is sent to a Garmin software application for analysis. Pricing and availability information is unknown.
April 22nd. Remeber what day it is, no its not your anniversary, or if it is i hope you remembered the gift.Tomorrow is Earth Day, and we can save the earth doing what we like best:Shopping.The way this work is the following: The first 10,000 movie and television show we buy from the PlayStation Store tomorrow will generate $1 a pop for Conservation International, a non-profit organization dedicated to keep the outside world looking good.
