Shure have started to ship their headphones in the UK. The E500PTH in-ear monitors are not cheap.. they will weigh in at $550, but promise amazing sound quality from the amazing 2 woofers and 1 tweeter. The earphones isolate about 90% of external noise. There is a feature called PTH (Push to hear) which will allow you to listen to noise outside with out taking them off which is handy. This function activates a microphone that picks up the noise and plays it over the ear phones.

The 3 speakers in each ear phone offer rich lows and precision highs in sound quality and are supposed to do to headphones what HDTV did to the TV.

The sound isolating sleeves have 2 roles. The first is to block ambient noise while the other role is to make a customised fit for comfort. Ears are all different in size and Shure have taken this in to consideration by giving 3 sizes (small, medium and large) as well as a universal foam which will be good for all ear sized. When installed correctly it blocks out the ambient noise while enhancing the bass.

The sure engineers have also listened to user feedback and now provide 2 cables with the ear phones. One is 9 inches long and the other is 3 foot long. This allows you to taylor the cord to what kind of activity you are doing.

From what we can see, they seem to have got everything covered here.

The E-TEN M600+ is being launched and is similar looking to the older model (pictured below). Just a slight rebrand. The E-TEN M600+ runs on Windows Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC. It has a Samsung S3C2440 processor inside which runs at 400Mhz. It has 256Mb Flash ROM installed and also has the option of using an SD card to increase storage. Wi-fi and Bluetooth are built in. The device uses a wireless manager to switch these on and off which is easy enough and can be achieved with about 3 clicks of the pen on the screen. No problems with that! There is no infra red, but who uses that anyway? Since the arrival of Bluetooth and Wi-fi I dont think I have ever switched on my infra red ports on anything.

The device supports Microsoft Direct Push which is compatible with MS Exchange servers. Very handy for business use!

Another beauty from Sharp. The W-ZERO3 smartphone has now been revealed. Do not get too excited though… it’s going to be launched in Japan only according to sources. The new Windows Mobile 5.0 smartphone has some rather flashy features. It is powered by a 416Mhz Intel PXA270 processor and can handle a resolution of 640×480 on a 2.8″ screen. It can operate both in portrait and landscape mode. It has a slide out keyboard and includes a stylus to make navigation far easier. It has wifi, 1.3 megapixel camera although Bluetooth support is not listed as a feature (Like I care with it going to Japan only:)).

Liquid crystal display (LCD) is widely used for flat panel displays due to its
attractive appearance when compared to CRT and PDP displays. The disadvantage of using LCD is that a back light is required separately. An organic EL display with light emitting properties will allow technology to evolve and erase the need for the separate back light. Organic EL can also be manipulated to be a thinner, lighter and more energy efficient than its LCD counterpart.

This is why the new organic display from Konica/Minolta is so exciting. It is definitely a step in the right direction! The current prototype has a luminance of 1,000 cd/m2. No news has been revealed if this will hit production any time soon but konica/Minolta will surely be drawing attention to their pioneering research and development of this type of material. Their website holds more information on the differences of LCD and organic EL materials and the science that will bring us the next generation of technology. [konica website]
