Sony Ericsson W910 Walkman Phone-Shake it Baby

Sony Ericsson's new W910 is the company's new high-end Walkman feature phone. This attractive little 86g (3oz) slider has a 2.4", 262k color QVGA display and works with Sony Ericsson's new Media Manager application, which replaces the older Disc2Phone application used by earlier devices. The most interesting aspect of its music capabilities is perhaps the new shake control that lets users access the next or previous track with a quick flick of the wrist, so to speak. The playlist can even be shuffled with a back and forth shaking motion, which seems quite appropriate.

The Media Manager PC software that is included with the W910 is notable for a number of upgraded features, but none of them are more interesting than the new SenseMe system. SenseMe attempts to encode mood data into music tracks as they are ripped from CDs. This lets the W910 user create playlists based on tempo or music style, which should impress runners and commuters alike. The W910 stores its music files on a Memory Stick Micro (M2) memory card, and a 1GB card ships with the phone.

The W910 supports GSM/EDGE networks on all four major network bands and includes support for the 2100MHz UMTS/HSDPA band used in Europe and some other parts of the world. A variant for the Chinese market called the W908c will lack the UMTS/HSDPA support of the European version. The W910 will be available in red or black in Q4 of this year.

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.

Acer Aspire Laptop 3000 Series

Acer Aspire 3000 is one of the least expensive laptops on the market. Though it has an unremarkable design, the Aspire 3000 features a big 15-inch standard-aspect display and weighs right around six pounds--too heavy for regular travel but fairly lightweight for a laptop of this size and price.That said, the Aspire 3000's measly specs aren't going to set any records, and this machine delivers absolutely terrible battery life; furthermore, it lacks some basic ports and connections. If you're looking for a laptop that's portable enough to move around the house for lightweight computing tasks--e-mail, Web surfing, and word processing--the Aspire 3000 may fit the bill.
The Aspire 3000 sits right on the edge between thin-and-light and midsize. It weighs 6 pounds and measures 14.3 inches wide, 11 inches deep, and 1.5 inches thick.Designwise, the Aspire 3003LCi is a dead ringer for the Acer TravelMate 4060 save for its keyboard: the TravelMate's is curved and the Aspire's is rectangular, and we like both just fine. The Aspire 3000 features a nice wide touch pad, two big mouse buttons, and a convenient rocker button for scrolling through documents or Web pages.t doesn't incorporate multimedia controls or external volume buttons, though it has four programmable application buttons and a Wi-Fi on/off button. The system's 15-inch display has a standard 1,024x768 native resolution and is plenty clear and bright.
It offers one VGA port, one Type II PC Card slot, 56Kbps modem and Ethernet jacks, three USB 2.0 ports, and three audio jacks (headphone, microphone, and line-in). Also onboard is a cost-cutting DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive.
Microsoft Windows XP Home comes preloaded on the Aspire 3000, though other configurations in the Aspire 3000 series ship with Windows XP Professional. Acer bundles very little software with the system. For viewing and burning discs, Acer includes CyberLink PowerProducer and NTI CD and DVD Maker; it also provides its own utility for managing core system settings, such as passwords.

Sony Vaio VGN-TX92S Notebook

Sony unveiled its new line-up of VAIO TX3 notebooks, including the yummy looking VGN-TX92S notebook. The Vaio VGN-TX92S carries a Vista Ready symbol, and can be customized under the Vaio "Owner Made" program where you get to choose the right combination of hardware, software and notebook color.

You can choose any of the following CPUs on your new Vaio: Intel Core Solo U1400 (1.2 GHz), U1300 (1.06 GHz) or good old Celeron M running at 1.06 GHz. The Intel 945GMS Express chipset based board can take in up to 1.5GB of DDR2 memory. The VGN-TX92S comes with a spiffy 11.1" WXGA wide screen offering 1366x768 pixel resolution.

The Vaio VGN-TX92S includes a fingerprint module, as well as TPM security chip for added security. Hard drives can be selected ranging from 40-80GB, but you will lose about 6GB for the restore-to-factory-settings feature. Other goodies on the laptop include two high-speed USB 2.0 ports, a 10/100BaseTX LAN card (no Gigabit, but that's okay) and optional Bluetooth.

The USP of this notebook is, without doubt, 1Seg. 1Seg is a mobile data broadcasting service (currently restricted to Japan), and this new Vaio is compatible with it. Essentially, you have a big screen mobile TV at your disposal.

MOTO MING- mix work with play

A supremely smart, stylish and compact Linux-based device, MOTOMING is designed to help keep work, personal and entertainment worlds balanced and looking good. With the MOTOMING's large transparent window and rich functions you will be able to see beyond the surface of the life around you, adding significance and taste to everyday communications. - Motorola

The transparent flip cover is very striking. Click the volume down key and the display lights up with all your current pertinent information. It is really a nice touch. The buttons all have a very positive feel to them. They don't rattle or squeak and are quickly recognizable by feel. The flip feels solid... and when talking on the phone it feels secure. And I really, really, really like touch screens. Have I mentioned that I like touchs creens? This on is very responsive... I could quickly dial numbers without error, although the virtual keyboard's density required use of the stylus, which I didn't mind. I got used to it. I found the voice quality to be excellent especially relative to their current offerings.

There are quite a few cool seeming apps included on the device.... like a business card reader that is supposed to use the camera to take a picture then use recognition software to capture the details into text and save it to your contacts. Trouble is that after repeated attempts to make it work I gave up. Then there's the photo editing app... which sounds cool except all you can basically do is draw random squiggles over a picture you've just taken which isn't very useful. Maybe if you wanted to write a goofy note over your dorky friend's picture and send it to all of the rest of your friends, okay... but otherwise this isn't replacing Photoshop anytime soon. And all the usual "smartphone" features are there... calendar, audio player, camera, email, but nothing earth-shattering or innovative.

The interface, although greatly improved over current Motorola offerings, is still lagging behind the industry. I found there to be too few settings and options (like control for what is displayed on the main screen with the flip cover closed) or at least so buried that they are practically unusable. Email, web and general connectivity was quite slow... surprising given how responsive the rest of the device felt. And I was bummed to wake up one morning and the stylus tip had sheared off. Good thing they included a second on in the box.

This is a solid phone with a solid interface. It still has all the quirks of a Motorola product but they are less noticeable than previous offerings.

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...
