Wrist Computer
Dec 22nd
This is one of the latest and coolest gadgets to hit the market based on conceptual wrist computing. And here is the explanation of W200 wrist computer gadgets from Glacier reports release.
Wrist Computer
“The RobCo Pip-Boy (PIP stands for Personal Information Processor) is an electronic device manufactured by RobCo Industries, using ultra-modern super-deluxe resolution graphics, which coupled with its capability to store large amounts of information and transfer data to and from holodisks and from data tubes make it the obvious choice for the wandering explorer, the out-on-his-own newbie or the all-around survivalist expert…the 3000 model has a built-in radio and Geiger Counter. [Like earlier models] the Pip-Boy 3000 features a biometric lock that can only be opened by a skilled technician. Read the rest of this entry »
Reasons to buy Nokia Booklet!
Dec 22nd
Nokia’s first PC (as opposed to the phones they refer to as multimedia computers) got a lot of hype when it was announced and is getting a lot of mixed reviews from folks who complain mostly about price/performance and that you can get better specs in a netbook for less money. After spending some time with a Booklet 3G, I’m once again reminded that there’s more to a purchase than speeds and feeds, and that value, much like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. So I’m not going to discuss the relatively slow processor or hard drive. We can agree that the Booklet isn’t a speed demon. It is, however, how a good PC experience should be and that’s worth paying for in my opinion.

1. Style. The Booklet’s got style. It’s small, thin elegant and doesn’t feel like it’s made out of plastic. The metal construction of the body, the solid heft and firm click of the keys make it feel like it’s a product that came from Cupertino, CA not Finland. In fact using it at Starbucks, several people asked me if I was using an Apple (even though the lid CLEARLY says Nokia). If your product gets confused with something made at 1 Infinite Loop, that’s a good thing. Almost every other netbook on the market feels cheap and toy like by comparison.

iPhone pulls ahead of Windows Mobile
Dec 22nd
Apple have pulled ahead of Microsoft in terms of smartphone market share, according to a comScore report detailing October’s US mobile traffic. The research firm has been tracking month-by-month usage across multiple platforms, and while RIM still leads the way with roughly 15m devices in use, the iPhone has pulled ahead of Windows Mobile’s roughly 7m devices by around 2m.
iPhone vs Windows Mobile
The gap was narrowed back in July, and Microsoft’s sluggish growth between then and October has left them floundering behind Apple’s significant climb in numbers. Google’s Android platform and Symbian are both trailing at the back, while Palm has around a third of Apple’s numbers. Read the rest of this entry »

Not just for music and videos anymore, the iPod can now be used to watch your favorite movies and TV shows, recorded directly from the source. That’s right, this handy gadget, the iRecord, allows you to record shows and video from any video device including DVD players, cable boxes, or TV’s, directly to your iPod. There’s no need to first record your show then transfer it to your computer and then download it a third time to your iPod.

Mimo Mini USB Monitor
Dec 10th
At first I considered making sarcastic comments about paying the same for a miniature 7″ monitor that you would for a monitor three times the size. Then after a closer look at the Mimo Mini USB monitor I realized it is powered entirely via USB, no external AC adaptor or video card needed. This miniature display marvel also runs in landscape or portrait mode and also comes in a touchscreen version. I think the Mimo Mini rocks and after going through the full specs I am sure you will agree with me… Read the rest of this entry »
