Readius- The Pocket size e-book reader

WHEN YOU’RE FINISHED reading your e-mail or the newspaper on that big, five-inch screen, wrap it up and stow it in your pocket. Polymer Vision’s Readius, a cellular-connected, PDA-size gadget, is the first device available with a roll-up display. Instead of glass, it’s made from a plastic sheet. The company concocted transistors out of durable polymers, layered with gold wires, to minimize stress when the display bends, so it can survive tens of thousands of flexes.The screen uses a technology called E Ink, which floats pigment to the surface of tiny capsules to produce black-and-white text or images in 14 shades of gray. Adding red, green and blue capsules will give the device a color screen by 2009. And Polymer Vision expects to have a display that can refresh fast enough to handle Webpage scrolling and basic video by 2010.
Audio is also catered for, with podcast and music downloads supported. Future models should be able to display colour and live video. Navigation is carried out through a touch-sensitive LED array, designed to be used single-handedly, and battery life should be an astounding ten days on average.
A built-in SIM card slot means it can be constantly connected to an EDGE/UMTS network as well as DVB-H IP data-casting, and take advantage of e-mail, news, location sensitive maps and ebooks, as well as user-loaded information on the 4GB of internal storage transferred via mini-USB.

Virtual Keyboard

Tired of using your boring keyboards???? Here is a new keyboard which is made from the latest technology and it can also be carried with you.Here is VKB (Virtual PC Keyboard - Red Keyboard) which can be used with both your laptop and PC and with a compatible mobile device, compatible Smartphone and PDA.

The virtual laser keyboard (VKB) works by using both infrared and laser technology to produce an invisible circuit and project a full-size virtual QWERTY keyboard on to any surface. The virtual PC keyboard behaves exactly like a real one: direction technology based on optical recognition enables the user to tap the images of the keys, complete with realistic tapping sounds(!), which feeds into the compatible PDA, Smartphone, laptop or PC.The Virtual Keyboard uses light to project a full-sized computer keyboard onto almost any surface. Used with Smart Phones and PDA's, the VKB provides a practical way to do email, word processing and spreadsheet tasks, allowing the user to leave the laptop computer at home.
VKB observes the user's finger movements to interpret and record keystrokes. Since the virtual keyboard is an image projected in light, it completely disappears when not in use.

The VKB Virtual Keyboard has a wide range of applications:

* Personal digital assistants
* Cellular telephones
* Space saving computers
* Tablet PCs
* Laptops
* Industrial environments
* Clean rooms
* Sterile and medical environments
* Test Equipment
* Transport (Air, Rail, Automotive)

Roughly the size of a disposable lighter, (90 x 34 x 24 mm), the VKB enables users to type email or long text as easily as with a conventional keyboard. Imagine how much easier it would be if you had a proper mobile phone keyboard that fits in your pocket...

LiveScribe- The Audio Pen?????

How nice would it be if a pen which we use for writing can store the information which we write on a paper so that we can reproduce it later??? just imagine....
Well now there is no need to imagine. LiveScribe is here. and it is selling like hot cakes.
In a nutshell, the most critically cool thing it can do is link audio recordings you make as you jot written notes to the actual text you're writing. And it can later all be indexed on a PC, and played back on the computer. Or by clicking on the notepad. Completely useful for students, journalists, lawyers—anyone who takes a lot of notes. And it works.
Cool na?????
