The Plica is a new mobile phone concept which combines two screens which work as a touch keyboard and touch screen. When opened up, the screens touch in the middle allowing for a large working space to be used. The device also folds both ways so that you can close it up and have the screens on the insides for transport or have the screens on the outside so you can use it as a regular iPhone type phone.

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.

January 5, 2008 by 2 Comments
The Ironman iControl is an iPod remote control which connects direct you various iPod’s and the iPhone (We assume the iPod Touch also). It allows you to control your iPod while running with out having to move your head to look at the iPod on your arm. It works by plugging in a small wireless device in to the iPod which then allows it to be controlled by the watch. Nice idea! It costs about $80 from Amazon.

Nintendo DS 2
January 3, 2008 by 58 Comments
Back in December, Gizmodo created a wishlist about the next Gen Nintendo DS. Phil Nolan, a 3D artist, liked what he saw there and got to work creating a 3D rendering of what a Nintendo DS 2 could look like. Taking ideas from the iPhone, PSP and Wii the DS 2 pictured above was created. As can be seen, the faces of the device are shiny and the screens are larger then the regular DS. If Nintendo took some advice from Phil they would have a killer looking machine.

I knew someone was going to do it, and that was iFixit who just took apart an iPod Touch. The series of pictures starts off with comparisons with the iPhone and they the dismantling gets going by removing the back panel, battery, main boards and what ever else is tucked inside the iPod touch. For a full set of images check out iFixit.
