Sharp 905SH DMB Phone for Japan

June 17, 2006 by Leave a Comment

Sharp have displayed the 905SH DMB phone for Japan. This is a 3G phone also integrates One Seg terrestrial TV broadcasts.

As seen in the picture the screen has the ability to rotate 90 degrees which allows you to view TV in widescreen format. The screen is a nice 2.6″ ASV LCD which is good for a wide viewing angle I guess to the family can sit around ;)… more then likely it will be better then the average LCD’s found in phones which tend to go dodgy when viewing from a slight angle.

June 17, 2006 by 6 Comments

Someone (Marshall) has built an N64 named the L64 and has provided instructions on how he built the games machine. It’s rather bluky as it’s an N64 chopped up and put in a smaller case with a screen and battery. Still good fun to read through.

I couldnt let this one go with out adding something about it here.

Japan have created a new door which is very different to what you have seen before. The door does not open like an ordinary door but only opens the parts that you need to walk through. Confused? I was until I saw the video.

June 16, 2006 by Leave a Comment

The Jump drive is a USB memory drive with a twist. It features an LCD b/w display showing the current memory usage on the stick. The display uses e ink to keep it active while the drive is not plugged in to the machine and also updated indipendantly from the system it is plugged in to. This means that no software is required on the computer to update the meter.

It’s a very handy little extra to be added on.

In Flight USB Charger

June 16, 2006 by Leave a Comment

Inflightpower.com have created a new in flight charger which plugs in to the headphone jack found on most planes. The unit then uses USB to connect to your device (anything that can use USB to charge) and provides bursts of power.

The device stores energy from the headphone jack which takes 3 – 5 minutes (volume to be on full) and then stores that and allows your device to be powered for 1 minute and then the cycle repeats it’s self. This is a VERY handy tool for those frequent flyers.
