Creative Zen V Plus

Creative have launched their new MP3 player called the Zen V Plus. This is a rather colourful small device aimed to take on the iPod nano. The MP3 player is flash based and comes in 3 flavours… 1Gb, 2Gb and 4Gb. There is a V plus and a V model which are $30 difference in price. The Plus sports an FM radio and video playback. Not a bad way to spend the extra $30. The battery was tested and lasts 15 hours (reports say 20) which still is quite handy. The screen is 1.5" but lacks the brightness to be still visibile outside. Overall it's a good challenger to the iPod.

BlueTooth Car Security

A new Bluetooth security device has been launched and is called Auto-Txt. This security system is linked to your Bluetooth mobile phone which acts as an authentication device when starting your car. When the keys are put in the ignition a Bluetooth signal is sent to the phone which then disarms the security system. If the car is started or moved with out the Bluetooth device (ie it’s stolen or some plonker forgot his phone) then a txt is sent and the car is tracked via GPS through a call centre and this can be tracked through 31 countries. I doubt the car would make it across those 31 countries before anyone noticed.

There are 2 options when buying the device. The first is the £499.99 for the standard tracking system and the next is £599.99 which includes the remote disabling one the police have confirmed with the owner that the vehicle is stolen.

More Fuel Cell Stuff – The UltraCell XX25

UltraCell XX25 information has been revealed recently by GizMag. The claim is that the Fuel Cell can power a ruggedized laptop for 3 days and with a few tweaks it can run survailence computers for longer. The XX25 has been tested to military spec standards from heavy vibrations, extreme weather temperatures etc…

What I like about FuelCell technology is that you can replace the cartridges quickly for cheap and have instant power again. FuelCells are going to be a great way forwards.
