Gold Remote Control

November 14, 2007 by Leave a Comment

Gold Remote Control
Lantic Systems are a Danish manufacturer who have created a Gold Remote Control. It is made of pure gold and has a hefty price tag to match. Costing over $55000 USD you need to have a fat wallet to pay for it. The Gold RC1 is the official name of the gold remote control and it can control TV, Video, DVD, Music, Internet, email, CCTV, alarms, lights, curtains, air-conditioning and surveillance. Crikey, at least you get all the features in 1 which I guess does separate the cost to still a hefty $4583.33 per item (so it’s not that bad after all) 😉

Shipping of the Gold RC1 remote is starting in December 2007.

TomTom High Definition Traffic

November 12, 2007 by Leave a Comment

TomTom HD Traffic
The announcement came today from TomTom of a new HD (high def) traffic service which is initially available in the Netherlands. The service will cover about 10 times the amount of roads that regular TomTom traffic covers which will allow for far better route planning and alternative routes to more accurately be created.

The service uses anonymous GSM signalling which comes via a SIM card for Vodafone. The first unit to ship will be the TomTom ONE XL HD Traffic available in NL in November followed early next year in the UK.

I have used the TomTom traffic before and although it was impressive with some of the routing around the congestion, I often wondered about routing on smaller roads. The HD version should cover a lot more and make journeys even smoother.

eMail Enabled Digital Photo Frame

November 11, 2007 by Leave a Comment

eStarling eMail Wi-fi Photo Frame
The eStarling digital photo frame is a tad different to your average photo frame. It has wi-fi, but the unique part of the frame is the ability for it to pick up images from emails or from RSS feeds. This allows you to email photos from anywhere in the world and then the pictures in the email will show up automatically on the frame. An example could be where your frame is on a wall at your grandma’s house and you and the family are on holiday. So that granny can keep up with what is happening on holiday you just email photo’s to her photo frame. Let’s just hope that no spam reaches the mail box.

The next unique feature of the eStarling frame is web based access allowing you to control what photo’s appear on the frame where ever it is in the world. If you do not want family shots then connect it up to flikr with phrases such as “cool Japanese robots” and the frame will automatically download and display a flikr stream of jap robots.

When receiving the photo frame you connect it to your PC via a USB cable. This allows you to configure the wi-fi connection and connect it up to your own network. Once this part is done you do not need the USB cable anymore except when reconfiguring the wireless settings and IP information.

Security for email is also available where you can assign the digital photo frame it’s own email address (something random at your domain.com) and then configure it to only receive emails from particular email addresses should you wish.

Storage on the digital photo frame is either a compact flash or SD card.

To be honest, it looks like one killer photo frame with a lot more fancy features then the rest. Of course, a lot of people are content with just the one picture on the wall. Should you like to mess around and change the scenery then this could be for you.

3 versions of the frame are available which are 2 at 7″ which display 480 x 270 pixels and an 8″ version at 800 x 600 pixels. The difference between the 2 7″ frame is that one has an external wi-fi antenna.

Prices range from $149.99 – $269.99.

What is inside a Digital Camera?

November 2, 2007 by Leave a Comment

crackingopendc
If you ever wondered what you would find in a digital camera but were too afraid that you were going to bust up your expensive one then cnet have done the hard work for you. They cracked open a fairly standard 3.3 mega pixel camera to see what was found inside. Once several screws were removed they pulled the case apart and found various bits and pieces which are covered over at CNET. Inside the camera you will find the flash and capacitor which is used to hold the charge that allows the flash to function. Also inside you will find a view finder, LCD screen, CCD, battery compartment and the circuit boards that make it all work.

Check out CNET for the full rundown of what you will find inside a digital camera.

October 22, 2007 by 1 Comment

no cut dual sim card socket
This small device allows you to run two SIM cards in one mobile phone at the same time. With this new version you do not need to hack up your SIM cards to make them fit. It appears that one SIM card goes over the battery and the other one in the regular place. It will not work with USIM 3G cards, but will work with a good number of other handsets. This version also does not require you to switch off the mobile phone to change numbers. You have an option on screen to switch between SIM1 and SIM2. For full details check out GR8 Ideas. A compatibility list is given on that site. The dual sim socket will cost just £9.95 and is perfect for those living the Dual SIM life.

One Touch Can Opener

October 20, 2007 by Leave a Comment

one touch can opener
This is not the usual type of gadget I write about, but what the heck. It will come in handy for everyone if they are feeling lazy. The one touch can opener opens up a can of bake beans or anything else by sitting it on top and hitting the black button. Amazon mention it does all the hard work (not that opening a can of beans really is hard work). The device also has a magnet so the lid comes off rather then dropping in to the can and it will open almost any round can. It is powered by 2 AA batteries and currently costs £12.99 in the UK and $14.99 in the US.

Ghost Detector Cell Phone Strap

October 20, 2007 by Leave a Comment

ghost-detector
You might be a bit worried about ghosts with Halloween being just around the corner. If you are the type who lays awake in fear about ghosts being around, then a cell phone ghost detector is needed. It comes from Japan (surprised?) and detects magnetic field alterations and body temperature fluctuations. When a ghost is detected it will flash and make ghost noises. You then know if being frightened to death is needed or not. It costs just $17 and is well worth it if you get frightened about stuff like this.

Cool Case-less Case Mod – SkyPuter

October 18, 2007 by Leave a Comment

sky_puter
We see a ton of different case mods here at Gadget Venue and we can see that many people spend hours carving away at their computer cases and making them in to the next Half Life or Digg style. The idea of this mod was to drop the case completely and just dangle the parts from cat5 cables and a couple of hangers. The idea is weird but cool and makes for some amazing cooling as the surrounding air can just absorb the heat.

Sony HDMS-S1D Digital Photo Album

October 18, 2007 by Leave a Comment

sony-hdms-s1d
The HDMS-S1D comes from Sony and is a feature packed Digital Photo Album. The device can be attached to a HDTV via a HDMI cable and has an 80Gb hard drive allowing a ton of photos to be stored and kept in 1 location. Transferring files to the device is easy as it sports a number of memory card formats as well as a CD reader, DVD and USB or network connections. Once the photos are on there (50000+) high res, you can file them away by using the remote control on a simple interface. It costs $400 so would be affordable to those who want to take and store a lot of photos. Although nothing is mentioned about backups we can assume the Ethernet cable can be used to transfer files to the PC so you have photos in 2 locations.
