Dell Flash Android Smartphone

The first phone to be unveiled is the Dell Flash (pictured above) that measures just 11mm thick. This phone has a 3.5 inch WVGA screen, connects up to HSPA networks on 850 / 1900 and 2100MHz networks with 14.4Mbps being the download speed limit.

Inside is 512MB of RAM and ROM and the phone accepts microSD cards up to 64GB in capacity.

Jetyo HDV-T900 Camcorder has Dual Solar Panels

Jetyo isn’t a company I have particularly heard of before, but this new camcorder looked unique enough to give it a mention.

What makes the Jetyo HDV-T900 camcorder stand out is it’s dual solar panels that allow it to charge rechargeable AAA batteries that are used inside it. The device is powered by 4xAAA batteries, and when rechargeable AAA batteries are used the solar panels built in, can be used to recharge the device.

Other technical features include a 5 megapixel sensor that can capture a 1280 x 720 image allowing it to record 720p at 30 frames per second. If still images are being captured then these are captured at 12 megapixels. [Read more…]

HP Slate gets Hands-On time

We haven’t seen too much of the HP Slate other than a quick unveiling at CES, some information regarding the technical specs and pricing and finally a promo video showing off what it can do.

Conecti.ca managed to get some hands-on time with the HP Slate to see what it’s all about and in their words, if it could be an iPad killer.

Their mini review indicates that the HP Slate should actually be compared to a netbook as it essentially runs Windows 7, takes time to boot up, requires you login with a username and password and acts just like a netbook without a keyboard. [Read more…]

LEGO Digital Box brings Augmented Reality to LEGO Stores Worldwide

LEGO Digital Box is device that uses augmented reality to show customers in LEGO stores what a built up LEGO set looks like. To get it to work you simply hold the LEGO set box up to the screen where a camera captures the box, detects which LEGO set is to be found within and then displays the set built up on top of the box. The box can be rotated and the augmented reality image follows.

Purchase decisions at the point of sale are mostly driven by the excitement of customers about a product. This certainly applies to the toy market. Ideally, customers want to hold the product in their hands and look at it closely from all angles. But for products like LEGO® sets, it can take hours of construction before you know what the toy really looks like. The LEGO DIGITAL BOX from the LEGO Group comes to the rescue. Children, big and small, can now hold LEGO® boxes up to the DIGITAL BOX and watch a 3D animation of the product – from all angles, in every detail – in their hands. This is made possible by metaio software, which fuses virtual 3D animations into a live video of the actual product packaging. The technology not only creates a fascinating technical experience, but also gives retailers a unique selling pitch while helping to inform interested buyers. After all, customers get to see exactly how much fun there is inside!

Apple iPhone 4G Pictures Emerge

Leaked pictures have arrived claiming to be the next gen iPhone which we believe will be called the Apple iPhone 4G or iPhone HD. Unlike the fake renderings of last week and previous iPhone HD/4G concept designs which of course are not real, these pictures “might” actually be the real deal.

Reasons for believing this is due to several pictures being revealed since January at separate times that show a device that looks almost the same in all instances. If you remember back in January just before the iPad announcement, some leaked shots were posted on the internet of the iPad that was locked down to a desk. If I remember correctly, Steve Jobs mentioned in his presentation the day after that they were the real deal. In that picture (posted below – top image with white squares), you might notice on the top right of the image just above the two white squares that there is a corner of a mobile phone. Compare that to the images found below and you might see a resemblance of the top right of the phone that has a rectangular button with two round buttons below. [Read more…]
