Sony NV U92T
March 31, 2007
Following in Sonys way of slimming things down, the NV-U92T follows this trend. It is a very slim GPS sat nav system which is just 2CM in depth. It has a 4.8 inch wide screen display which is also touchscreen. An interesting feature that caught my eye is the gesture command support. If you draw a picture of your house it will navigate you home. The device has 2Gb of internal memory and can be expanded by using a Sony Memory Stick.
Unfortunatly we do not have pricing or other details yet, but as soon as they arrive we will get them out to you.

Transformers Trainers
March 31, 2007
Above you will see a Nike trainer in the form of a transformer. The (non wearable) running shoes can sit nicely on your shelf and then turn in to a robot. The image above shows Nike Convoy and the image below shows Nike Megatron.
If you take a close look you can see that each robot is wearing tiny versions of the shoe that it just transformed from.
Thanks to Tony for pointing out the video from Youtube. It is a couple of years old and made in 2005, but still it is cool to see the actual product.

Free Wi-fi Access for PSP Owners
March 31, 2007
If you are an owner of a Sony PSP and frequent T-Mobile hotspots then you could be entitled to 6 months of free wifi access. Hurry though… there are only 362 days left to qualify for 6 free months. I have heard rumours that you also need to have the latest firmware, but as I am in the UK and this offer is for the US its a tad far for me to travel and test.
To get this working you need to follow these instructions…
Create a T-Mobile HotSpot Network Profile
1. Bring your PSP® system to a location that provides a T-Mobile HotSpot. (Refer to the T-Mobile HotSpot U.S. Location Map.)
2. Select (Network Settings) under (Settings).
3. Select [Infrastructure Mode].
4. Select [New Connection].
5. Select [Use Wireless Hotspot].
6. Select the T-Mobile HotSpot icon.
7. If you have an existing T-Mobile HotSpot account, select [Enter User Credentials]. Enter your user ID and password, and then press the right button. or If you do not have an account, select [Use Promotional Access] to sign up for a complimentary six-month T-Mobile HotSpot account . (To qualify for this promotional access, you must authenticate your PSP® system to the T-Mobile HotSpot network prior to March 28, 2008.)
8. Check the contents of the settings list.
9. Save the settings.
10. Perform a connection test. If you select [Test Connection], the system will connect to the selected access point.
11. Confirm the connection test results.
If the connection is successful, information about the network is displayed.

AAA Powered Cell Phone
March 31, 2007
Loosing power to your mobile in this day in age is like loosing an arm. I have seen a number of people have to suddenly go home to charge their phone because they dont want to miss that all important text message from a friend.
Philips has launched a new celphone which supports the use of a backup AAA battery which allows up to 3 hours more of talk time on the handset. The phone is named the Xenium NRG and its primary source of power is a regular phone type battery and the AAA can be put in as a secondary battery.
The idea is actually great and more useful then I first imagined. AAA batteries have an advantage over regular mobile phone batteries in that they are a lot cheaper and also come fully charged off the shelf. Also availability is far greater with them being in almost every shop you walk in to.

IXOs Luxury HDMI Cables
March 31, 2007
Cables connecting devices may seem not so important, but when you compare quality side by side a good cable suddenly becomes very important. IXOs has introduced luxury HDMI cables which offer full-HD 1080p and range from just 1m to 11m in length. To get better quality images on the screen the connectors are silver plated which is the key to minimising losses in quality. With this cable there is not just 1 sheild protection, but a triple sheilding.
The combination of wire, connectors and sheilding give the best possible picture quality with the least possible loss. Costing from 109 pounds to 268 pounds you expect to be getting the quality you pay for.
