Sony Ericsson W580

Sony Ericsson W580
The Sony Ericsson W range of phones has always been full of great features along with the style that you would expect from Sony. The W580 is the latest in this range and has an interesting feature that I have not seen on any other mobile phone – a pedometer. This is indeed an excellent and innovative idea because each of us probably carries around our mobile phones everywhere with us. Being able to keep track of your steps, calories and running speed, distance and time are great little features. The phone comes in 2 flavours which are Style White and Urban Grey.

As well as the use of a pedometer you get a 2 mega pixel camera, 2 inch QVGA screen, EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 connectivity and a generous amount of memory at 512Mb via a memory stick micro card.

The phone is set to launch later this year and is one phone worth waiting for.

Infrant ReadyNAS NV – Full Backup Solution

NAS
Data storage has become more needed in each of our lives with digital cameras being used daily, music being downloaded, videos being watched and much more. The problem you will come across one day is that the harddrive of your computer which you store this data on will more then likely crash. If you are like me then you probably do not have backups of the data and still know inside that it would suck to loose all those precious photo memories.

The Infrant ReadyNAS NV+ is a full backup solution allowing you to store data on its drives. It has 3 USB ports, 4 x hot swap SATA drive bays. It comes in 2 configs. Either empty allowing you to purchase the discs or it comes full with 2Tb of storage available in RAID format. It connects to your home network via a gigabit ethernet port and can be used to store all your files on it.

With it having RAID functionality, this means that should a drive break down, then you just replace it with a new drive and no data is lost. This is due to the way a RAID system works. RAID puts files on more then 1 disk so that in the event of failure a new drive just gets repopulated with the files stored in a second location.

Creative USB Cam Optia

Creative Cam Optia
The Creative Cam Optia is a new USB webcam to become available. With other webcams there are drivers which always need installing first to allow the camera to work on your system. However, this camera is different in that it uses a new USB video class called UVC which gets rid of the need to install drivers. UVC is a new class which works in a similar way to flash drives which plug in and go. As flash drives use the same standard, there are no drivers needed. UVC aims to follow this route. With more and more providers getting in on the UVC scene, you will start seeing cameras compatible cross platform such as on the PS3. You webcam will then work with different machines in your house and stop you needing to buy a dedicated cam for the PS3, Xbox etc…

The Creative Cam Optia is one of the latest cameras to use this technology and it looks like a great cam from the pics I have seen. A full review can be found at EverythingUSB.

HTW S116 Solar Mobile Phone

HTW S116 Solar Mobile Phone
The HTW S116 is a solar charged mobile phone. Having one of these around could get you out of trouble. All you need to do is sit it in daylight for 40 minutes and you are good for 20 – 25 minutes of talk time. According to one source, the phone can even get a small bit of power from regular lights if it is dark outside.

The main problem with solar energy is that the phone will not charge while in a pocket or bag and its a bit of a pain having to carry it around facing the light source. However, the idea kind of works. I still think a seperate solar charging unit is the better option although you could argue that you probably will not end up carring that around with you. It’s really up to personal choice in the end.

As well as having solar charging capabilities the phone has a 1.3 megapixel camera, external memory card slot and a QVGA screen which measures at 320 x 240 pixels.

Olympus all-weather 780

780 Olympus
The Olympus μ780 will be on display at the PIE (Photo Imagine Expo) in Japan tomorrow. The 780 is a weatherproof 7.1 megapixel digital camera with 5x optical zoom and mechanical image stabilizer. This is Olympus’ newest compact digital camera to hit the market and looks like another camera with great potential.

The body of the camera is metal and comes in silver, black or blue. The weatherproofing is made to IEC 529 IPX4 standards which means it can have water splashed from any direction due to rubber seals around doors and a compartment inside which seals off the electronics. This for some is an excellent way of getting pictures you might normally be afraid of taking your shiny new camera in to.

Among the standard features listed above, the camera has other cool features which as optimisation of images with dark, shadowed areas.
