It’s capacity, measured in plastic wallets I guess, is capable of holding 60 pictures inside it. The 60 photos it can holds each measure the traditional 4 x 6 inches. [Read more…]

Doodle Track Slot-less Cars

Doodle Track Cars are similar to Slot Cars although they travel at a lower speed and don’t run in slots. Instead, you simply doodle a track on a large sheet of paper and let the cars follow the track.

The downside of Doodle Track Cars are that you don’t control them as they just sit and follow your doodled track. If you don’t want to sketch a course on to paper then the other option is to create a track in the software and print it out on to multiple bits of paper stuck together. [Read more…]

Class 10 MicroSDHC 16GB Card from Kingston Starts Shipping

Kingston are shipping a class 10 microSDHC memory card that has a 16GB capacity. The microSDHC card is capable of transferring data at 10MB/second allowing it to be used in DSLR cameras that capture fast images.

The “Class” status’ given to memory cards indicates the speed at which data can be transferred to and from. For example, a Class 2 card can transfer data at 2MB/s while a Class 10 card can transfer at 10MB/s. The higher the class the faster data can be transferred to and from.

“With the new speed class, host devices such as high-definition cameras or the latest smartphones are being designed to optimize their write performance to take advantage of the more responsive memory card speeds,” said Wendy Lecot, Flash card business manager, KingstonĀ®. “Now that the Class 10 card specification is five times faster than a Class 2 card, users will see swifter copying and transferring of photos, music, videos and e-books when using a multi-format card reader such as the Kingston Media Reader or MobileLiteG2 with a PC.
