According to Hardcoreware they found that the latest PS3 firmware which is currently 1.8 allows you to stream Windows Media to your PSP wirelessly. This is achieved by using the Remote Play feature which allows you to view all the streaming functions on the 1.8 update. Unfortunately I have not had chance to test this my self due to not having a PS3, but for those who cannot wait another month for the PSP firmware update you will have to use the work around mentioned.

Pandora in The Home
May 28, 2007 by Leave a Comment
If you have not heard of Pandora then here is a quick rundown. Pandora.com allows you to listen to free internet radio channels. It doesnt stop there though. Pandora uses the Music Genome Project which has been analyzing music and building it in to categories for the last few years. This has allowed for a comprehensive list of music and different types of music to be grouped together. If you enjoy music from a particular artist then you type in their name and the Music Genome Project takes over and creates you your own unique radio station which streams music in the same genre and style to you. If you like a particular song then the Music Genome Project can create another radio station just for you featuring other artists you might never have heard or linked in with.
Pandora in the Home is a new device which uses the pandora.com service. It allows you to listen to your radio stations from Pandora in any room of your house. This is achieved with the wireless multi room Sonos Digital Music system. This integrated with Pandora on your PC and allows you to take control of music from the remote control any where in the house. What makes this device stand out more is its ability to work with out the use of a PC. It connects to your wireless internet connection and you can then use the screen on the remote to create your radio stations and then select where you want them to be played. The screen also allows you to see the full colour album art of each artist you are listening to.

Phidgets USB Sensor Kit
May 18, 2007 by Leave a Comment
Phidgets USB sensors are used for monitoring environmental factors such as temperature, light, motion, magnetic field and vibration to name a few. When buying the product you need to choose the phidgets you want to use. According to the Phidgets website you do not need any technical knowledge, no programming skills and you do not need to know anything about communication protocols. In fact, they only recommend that you have an imagination. This opens up Phidgets to be used in any number of ways you could possibly think of. One project someone made is Tetris Weightlifting. This game is a highly modified version of the game in which lifting weights actually controls the pieces. You can imagine the pain on even the strongest mans face when he gets to level 9.

May 18, 2007 by Leave a Comment
The iPhone has been approved by the FCC meaning it should hit the shelves late next month. The documents which were signed have confirmed a few things too which is cool. The phone will have Bluetooth, Wifi and work on 1900MHz and 850Mhz GSM bands as well as 2 more bands making it in to a quad band phone. Unfortunately it is not 3G though which is a shame. The phone will only ship in the US at first although it would work elsewhere but be an expensive option.

Smellophone – A Phone that you can Smell
May 14, 2007 by Leave a Comment
Motorola have a patent which is named the Smellophone. If you are thinking a Smellophone means a phone that you smell then you are not far off the mark. The patent says its a communication device having a scent release feature and method thereof. Interesting, but I dont know if it would really take off. This phone doesnt seem to cater to smelling who is on the other side of the phone and their environment, but seems to indicate it is more aimed at those who want to take the smell of their home with them where ever they are to have that sense of being at home around you.
