Nokia 1100 – 200 Million Sold
May 7, 2007 by Leave a Comment
The Nokia 1100 was launched in 2003 and since then has sold a massive 200 million+ units. That is a lot of phones sold and beats ipod sales by double the amount. The 1100 is a simple phone which brings the mobile back to basics. Although this type of phone doesnt generally appeal to me because of my like of more fancy phones, I do actually own one I think somewhere. I purchased it in France on a cheap pay as you go offer so that I could receive calls with out paying stupid roaming charges. Although I have not used it since then, it still comes in handy for switching SIM cards around occasionally.
TTOOL PMP with 7 Inch TouchScreen
May 7, 2007 by Leave a Comment
The TTOOL PMP from first impressions looks to be a great little machine. It runs Windows CE 5.0 and has a 400MHz processor to power it. The screen is 7 inch and is also touchscreen. The resolution is 480 x 234 pixels. As well as being just a PMP it has a GPS chip from SiRF III allowing for Satelite Navigation. Audio is produced by 2 built in stereo speakers. With 64Mb of built in SDRAM there seems to be a low amount of memory although that can be increased by the use of an SD or MMC memory card.

May 1, 2007 by 8 Comments
Have you ever wondered what gadgets will be like in 5 years time? HP recently did and came up with a number of drawings and ideas as to what we might be using in 2012. The first is this HP laptop which can be seen above. It has virtual keys, is razor thin and is featherweight. Hopefully virtual keyboards will be easier to use in 5 years time as currently they suck.

Tiny HD Camcorder from Sony
April 28, 2007 by Leave a Comment
Sony who the kings of making things small have been working on a new Camcorder named the Handycam HDR-CX6EK. This is a HD (high definition) camera and weighs just 370g without the battery. The lens is by Carl Zeiss and is capable of a nice 10x optical zoom. To store all this data it uses Sonys own format which is the Memory Stick DUO which currently maxes out at 8GB. With the 8GB stick you can still store 1 hour of 1080i video and up to 3 hours on the lowest quality. The camcorder can also be used as a camera and it snaps shots at 6.1 mega pixels.
As well as being small and powerful the camera does have some other cool features. It has Face Index which detects faces and can highlight faces with in a picture which we assume can automatically zoom or follow around.
The camcorder will cost around $1200+ when launched in July and no date is set for a UK launch yet.

Griffin iTrip 2G and iTalkPro
April 28, 2007 by Leave a Comment
iTrips are handy little devices that connect to your iPod and transmit an FM signal to a nearby radio. This cuts out the need for cables and allows you to more easily use it in your car. The first iTrip was quite fiddly to work with as you had to download a ton of MP3s from the CD which contained beeps and then play the corresponding beeps for the frequency that you wanted. The iTrip 2 has solved this problem by having an LCD screen on the device and a small switch to the side which can be used to scroll through the frequencies. An extra assistance is given in finding a clear more available frequency which comes in handy for those in a city where a lot of radio stations are broadcasting and filling up the frequencies. The iTrip is available in black and white and is also available for the Nano.

Blueant Supertooth Light
April 26, 2007 by Leave a Comment
For those of you who are regular users of hands free kits in cars you will be familiar with how difficult it sometimes is to hear with traffic noise, road noise and the speaker often in a hidden place in the car which muffles the sound. The Blueant Supertooth Light has technology built in to cancel background noise allowing you to heat the conversation more clearly. The video on youtube also suggests that you can hear this device with the windows down which is interesting to hear. The device it’s self is portable and can hook on to your sun visor allowing close proximity to your mouth for the built in microphone to pick up your voice. As the name suggests, this device is Bluetooth too and allows you to connect directly to your phone.
The device is powered by a lithium-ion battery which allows for 15 hours of talk time and 33 days of standby time which makes this device excellent for portability. To add to that you can charge it with the in car charger which makes it an even more attractive option.
Other features of this device are voice dialling which makes this device more usable while on the road and it can be paired with 5 devices.
MBR-501A Portable Satellite Broadcast Receiver
April 25, 2007 by Leave a Comment
This satellite receiver is an amazing looking device. It is named the MBR-501A and is capable of 4 hours of watching while receiving and 7 hours of recorded videos. The device has an SD card slot which currently allows up to a 2GB card to be inserted allowing for 9 hours of video to be recorded. The screen is a QVGA TFT screen which has a 320 x 240 resolution. Audio is produced through the mono speaker on the device although when docking the device it allows you to connect it to your stereo to play the audio.
I am interested in taking a look at this device to see what the quality of the Satellite receiver is like and what exactly it can pick up. It will be priced at just short of 20000 YEN.

Fujitsu A4 and A5 FLEPia
April 23, 2007 by Leave a Comment
Fujitsu have created the FLEPia in 2 models. The first is an A4 version which weighs 480g and the second is the smaller A5 size which weighs just 320g. Both of the models are 1.2cm thick. The FLEPia has built in wi-fi allowing you to download content or pictures over a network, and it also has an SD slot allowing for a 4GB card to be inserted to read data from. 6 function buttons can be found on the FLEPia as well as a scroll key allowing for easy access to eBooks. The battery life is one impressive feature of this device which allows it to go for 50 hours on a single charge.
Now the price. The FLEPia will set you back $21137 for the A4 version and $12685 for the A5 version. I assume this is due to the screen technology used which is bendable, although $21k to read on the go???? I will stick to the PPC.
