I never thought that Skype would be for calls only and then along come Novac and their Skype TV. It uses the capabilities of video calling to transmit TV signalls to a caller… thus, allowing you to watch TV over Skype. Genious!
The software will be coming out soon priced at $85.99. It works by plugging in a USB TV tuner in to your PC and then this allows you to connect it to Skype and broadcast TV all over the world. According to Novac you are also able to change channel from all over the world.
This has been heard of before (I must be slow because I missed it), but this is the first plug in and go system available. It will hit the shops on the 15th July.

The new Sony Ericsson W810 is another mobile in the Walkman range of phones which I think are very good. It is the son of the W800 which was another excellent phone. The W810 improves on some of the bad parts of the W800 which were not that many. It has a new joystick and the mobile internet is changed. The colour of the phone is changed from White to Black. It is the familier Orange colour which we are used to seeing in this range of W phones.
A 512Mb memory card is included which is changeable for an even larger one. A downside is the slow USB connection to a PC. The cable is included but it doesnt perform how we would all expect. However, who really cares about the USB connection speed 🙂 I have never used it yet. Always use Bluetooth or a card reader.

Another quality idea here… the Availabot is a USB device which is like one of them donkeys or zebras where you pushed underneath and it went all floppy and colapsed. This is much the same but in reverse with a twist. There is no need to touch this thing. It’s a block who lays as though he is dead. As soon as an IM buddy comes online he stands up 🙂 Funny and cool 🙂
