Solar Powered iPhone?
May 27, 2008 by Leave a Comment
Solar power is a great source to get power to your devices. It might not be the quickest way to charge something, but solar energy is free once you pay for the initial parts. Apple have filed a patent which involves placing solar cells on to portable devices. [Read more…]

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1
February 11, 2008 by Leave a Comment
The XPERIA X1 is made by Sony Ericsson and is built in response to Apple’s iPhone. Will it be an iPhone killer though? From initial thoughts it certainly does look the part. Apple’s iPhone was criticised by some for not having a real keyboard. Rather, they opted for an on-screen keyboard which actually works quite well. The XPERIA X1 has a full QWERTY keyboard which slides out to the side in a similar way to what a HTC Tytn does. This allows it to integrate well with Windows Mobile 6 which is the OS that powers this device.
The screen is 3 inches wide and supports VGA resolution which is 800 x 480 pixels. As can be expected, the display is touchscreen. Connectivity on the device includes A2DP Bluetooth, aGPS, WiFi and it connects on quad-band (GSM/EDGE) and UMTS, HSDPA and HSUPA. The camera on the device is 3.2 megapixels and includes a flash. Memory can be expanded from it’s standard on-board 400Meg via a microSD card.
Overall a seriously nice looking phone which seems to have all the main desired features packed in to it. With it running WM6 it allows for a large variety of software to run on it which is an advantage over the iPhone. Definitely a phone to look out for.

MacBook Air Revealed
January 16, 2008 by Leave a Comment
Yesterday, Apple revealed it’s latest goodies to be made available. This time the winner of the show was the MacBook Air which is a seriously slim MacBook with the option of a flash based hard drive. The MacBook Air has some impressive features with the size of the thing being most noticeable. It measures just 0.76″ thick which is slim compared to a Sony Vaio and it weighs just 3 pounds. The screen is 13.3″ and wide-screen backlit with LED’s. Resolutions range from 720 x 480 up to 1280 x 800. An integrated 37-watt-hour lithium-polymer battery powers the MacBook Air which can keep it running for 5 hours with wireless enabled. That alone is a fairly impressive number. The processors options are either 1.6Ghz or 1.8Ghz and the unit comes standard with an 80GB HDD with the option for a 64GB SSD drive. SSD is the way to go, but does add a hefty number on to the total ($1299 extra). If you can afford to splash our for the extra .2 GHZ and SSD then do it.
For connectivity you are looking at Wireless 802.11n draft specification with backwards compatibility for a/b/g. Bluetooth is 2.1 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate).
Another nice feature about the MacBook Air is the backlit keyboard and a multi touch mouse pad which works in the same way a multi touch screen on the iPhone works. If you want to zoom, you just gesture with moving your fingers apart etc…
Overall it’s a very nice MacBook and well worth pre ordering.

Power Button Earrings
December 21, 2007 by Leave a Comment
For those who like to wear geek type jewellery, these earrings might be for you. They have power button symbols on them and are handmade and moulded from actual Apple power buttons.
Would anyone actually wear these? They should come out with some cuff link versions if they haven’t already.

Siemens Laptop does Ultrasound
November 26, 2007 by Leave a Comment
Siemens Medical Solutions have created a laptop named the P50 which is designed to aid the medical industry. It weighs just 5 kilos and packs a number of cool features in. It is designed for use in vascular applications as well as in operating rooms and anesthesiology departments. The cool feature that got my attention was it’s ability to be portable and do ultrasound scans. The machine is built around an Apple Mac Book and has 2GB RAM with a 160GB HDD.
Another benefit of this machine is that it can connect to the internet and email can be done also as it runs regular MS Office apps. Mix this with portable ultra sound scanning you have a perfect way of communicating images back to the main office and specialists for review.

New iPods
September 6, 2007 by Leave a Comment
At Apples Keynote yesterday there were a number of cool announcements about iPods. The first is the iPod shuffle which will be getting a few new colours and will cost the same at $79 for a 1GB version.
The next iPod in the lineup is the iPod Nano which has gone through a bit of a shape shift and now sports a nice wide screen at 2 inches running 320 x 240 pixels. The cost of a new Nano will be $149 for a 4GB model and $199 for an 8GB version. These will be in store this weekend.
The regular iPod is now named the iPod Classic and is available in silver and black (no white). The 80GB version will cost $249 and has 30 hours of audio playback and 5 hours of video from the battery. The beefy 160GB version is beefy in storage, thicker then the 80GB version, but thinner then the old 80GB version and will cost $349. It can hold 40000 songs, has a 40 hour ability when playing audio and 7 hours of video playback on its battery.
The iPod touch is one I am looking forwards to. Its like an iPhone but without the phone. It has Wi-Fi, Safari, Cover flow and is flash based only. It measures at 8mm thick and has either 8GB of flash which runs at $299 or there is a 16GB model running at $399 which isnt too bad. I personally wish the touch had a 160GB HDD in it even if it did make it slightly thicker.
The iPhone is also set to have a price drop which is good news too.
Which one will you be choosing?

Zune Phone maybe Coming
September 5, 2007 by Leave a Comment
The Apple iPhone has been very successful which has led Microsoft to rethink their stance on the possibility of a Zune phone. Recently they stated that it is not unreasonable for them to create a phone based on the Zune music platform. Sounds good to me although if Steve Ballmer has input it must have a keyboard. This along with the Google Phone could lead to some nice competition over the years to come.
