noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 05:37:00 +0000

Proud owner of Sony Ericsson mobile phones? K530 in particular. Why not burn deep into your pocket for 'another' add-on. But you'll be proud of it. Or not, you'll surely satisfied. Or else, shoot me.. :)

Plug it into your phone when you wish, use it as a handsfree to control calls and music or switch to GPS mode when you want to find your way.

Pico-ITX Form Factor, the World's Smallest x86 Mainboard

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 28 Apr 2007 09:35:00 +0000

The race is on and on. Now what? The world's smallest motherboard/mainboard? Not that shocked but pretty impress, of course. Expect more after this guys. Read all the features after the jump.

VIA Defines Pico-ITX Form Factor, the World's Smallest x86 Mainboard
Tiny 10cm x 7.2cm complete PC platform fits into palm of hand, more than 75% smaller than the Mini-ITX, embodies VIA's "Small is Beautiful" strategy to inspire x86 system innovation
Taipei, Taiwan, 19 April 2007 - VIA Technologies, Inc, a leading innovator and developer of silicon chip technologies and PC platform solutions, today announced the VIA VT6047 Pico-ITX form factor reference design, the smallest full-featured x86 mainboard in the industry designed for a new world of ultra compact embedded PC systems and appliances.

The Pico-ITX form factor is the latest advance in VIA's proven record on platform miniaturization. The Mini-ITX mainboard, at 17cm x 17cm, which recently celebrated its 5th anniversary as an industry standard form factor with wide market adoption, was followed by the Nano-ITX form factor at 12cm x 12cm, exactly 50% of the size of the Mini-ITX. Now, the Pico-ITX, at 10cm x 7.2cm and 50% of the size of the Nano-ITX form factor, truly embodies VIA’s "Small is Beautiful" technology design strategy of shrinking the form factor to drive the x86 platform into ever smaller systems and whole new device categories.

Leveraging VIA's extensive expertise in miniaturization at the silicon level through major advances in power efficiency, thermal management and feature integration, the VIA VT6047 Pico-ITX mainboard was designed to be powered by one of VIA’s energy efficient processor platforms, such as the VIA C7 or fanless VIA Eden processor in the 21mm x 21mm nanoBGA2 package, combined with feature-rich VIA system media processors to enable the board to pack a performance punch in a tiny, low heat, low power package.

"The Pico-ITX represents VIA's commitment to spearhead x86 innovation through our proven technology leadership in driving down the platform size," said Richard Brown, Vice President of Corporate Marketing, VIA Technologies, Inc. "As with the Mini-ITX and Nano-ITX form factors before it, this new platform has raised the excitement level among enthusiasts and customers alike, firing the imagination an almost unlimited range of what were previously impossibly small systems."

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 08:30:00 +0000

Ocean : $295 GPS-enabled phone by Helio

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 06:29:00 +0000

"The world's first dual-slider combining a traditional numeric keypad and a separate full QWERTY keyboard in a single device."

Wow. Insanely awesome features (minus the no-GSM capability). This phone was designed to be the ultimate social networking tool, so.. expect some serious HTML enabler here. Otherwise you are near-fail, Ocean.

Other cool features:-

Click-Free Search

Searching the Web on a "phone" is a multi-step process. With Ocean, there's no need to open a search box. Just begin typing on the roomy QWERTY keyboard from the idle screen and the device automatically switches into search mode. Ocean has a built-in HTML browser, so users can visit WAP sites or surf any Web site on the Internet. Ocean's Web browser also lets users view and save Web images to their device and offers features like "mini map" and "page optimize" so navigation is easier than before.

Expect the Ocean invasion this coming spring.

..2MP camera, max 2GB microSD support,15 hours on a single battery charge... and so on, and what not (GSM of course.. arghhh.. why.)

New CCTV Camera with Xtra features: Gun Control Security Camera

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 21 Mar 2007 05:34:00 +0000

Now thats what I called, "CCTV". Equipped with "extra" security to keep the "bad-guys" away. But this is not for real. Kudos to the designer, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. But make sure it won't lose easily as it would become "owners" greatest nightmare.

... this setup consists of “144 robotic fluorescent light fixtures controlled by 7 computerized surveillance systems”. The light tubes continually rotate to create “patterns of light that are ‘paths’ or ‘corridors’” as persons walk underneath.

When two or more people are detected, the system rotates the fixtures so that “light corridors” are created between them. As many people walk in the court, the light reflect the influence of all of them creating complex patterns similar to isobars. Every few minutes, the system enters an “interlude mode” showing random orthogonal arrangements

Game On : Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite (HDMI + 120GB HDD)

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 21 Mar 2007 05:17:00 +0000

This gorgeous limited edition black Xbox 360 will soon be release by Microsoft.(Somewhere in Q4 2007) So, still got time to fork out around $480 for it.
Mom, I want one!

* The Elite will be limited quantities only; that may be as much or as little as a couple hundred thousand.
* The case, controller, and Live headset will all be black. It will have all new packaging.
* Elite will cost $479, and will be a 3rd SKU; it will be sold alongside Premium and Core packs.
* Eventually Elite hardware (in white plastics) will take the role of the Xbox Premium. That is to say, after the Elite is launched and sold out, future Xbox Premiums will have 120GB / HDMI.
* We do not yet know exactly when 120GB / HDMI will become the standard for Premium, but it is loosely estimated to be late summer or fall.
* Elite models run cooler than normal 360s, but they are not yet confirmed to have 65nm chips.
* Prices may remain the same with the 120GB / HDMI hardware upgrade in the Premium Xbox, but we may still see a price cut on the line when 65nm chips start shipping.
* The HD DVD drive will not be internal or bundled -- Microsoft never did or nor does not currently have plans to put an HD DVD drive in the 360.
* There are no current plans to integrate WiFi into the Elite or future Premiums (although that can always change).

Animated Electronica Sand : Sand Time Watch

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 05:20:00 +0000

Awesomely designed by the talented Pavel Balykin.This watch uses LED display technology to make you wow!
But, this is only a concept(as for now). :(

"In the screensaver mode, the watch works like a conventional sand clock with the display showing the "electronic sand" falling from the top screen to the bottom. The rate of fall is set at a default of one minute but can be changed by the user. For those not too keen to have this sand clock display at all times, there is the modern digit mode that shows the hour and minute information as digits in the top and bottom screens respectively."

Available in the UK for £149.98 ($290) from Maplin, which claims it works all over the world.(hopefully)
