Sony K850i

Posted by Jim as Cellphones
  I am trying to decide if I should get a Sony K850i. I know this is such a cool phone to have, the 5MP camera is really tempting.  I love the way it tries to be a great camera (with the auto-orientation feature), but there's this side of me trying to pull me back from the purchase. I don't like the tiny "rice-like" buttons, that's for sure!  I think I have fingers too big for those little things.  I wonder if Sony held-off giving us larger buttons so it can accommodate more electronics inside.. like for camera. I've read the online reviews, they were all good... but some though "I feel" is trying to tell me there's a ...

Trident Performance Vehicles have designed and produced a two-seater sports car that can reach over 200mph, get from 0-60mph in under 4 seconds and deliver up to 100mpg*. Whilst city cars (MEGA City, Ze-O, G-Wiz) work brilliantly for people who live and work in a city, Trident represent those that travel on the M1, the M4, the M6 to get to work, people who live in rural locations and those situations where electric cars are not (for the time being) viable due to their comparitively short range. In the meantime, the Trident Iceni offers current technology that is available now which reduces fuel consumption and therefore reduces emissions. It's a diesel sports ...

  It's a tough call, really...  some would exclaim "at last, I've been waiting for video for too long".  Yet others would say "oh no, now who in his/her right mind would do video with a dSLR?" :)  Ultimately it's the prosumers choice.  Some pros want it, others dont. Here's a summary of the Nikon D90 specks: New 12.3 megapixel Nikon DX-format CMOS image sensor with Integrated Dust Reduction System. Low-noise from ISO 200 to 3200, ISO 6400 available. D-Movie mode records in 320 x 216, 640 x 424 or 1,280 x 720 in AVI format. Scene Recognition System based on 420 pixel RGB sensor for improved autofocus, autofocus and auto white balance, in addition to Face Detection. Multi-CAM 1000 autofocus ...

  Ok, I see two clock faces there, and what else... hmmm... you sure this is a watch?  I think this will just be one of the many questions you'd need to be prepared to answer "time and time again".  All the wierdness, actually.  Form and function is no where behind this concept, unless you've got the manual to explain to you what's happening. This is the Romain Jerome Day&Night.

World First – An exceptional timepiece that does not indicate the time!

With no display for the hours, minutes or seconds the Day&Night offers a new way of measuring time, splitting the universe of time into two fundamentally opposing sections: day versus night.

Consumers and businesses are increasingly more concerned about global warming and climate change, and market demand for zero emission electric cars is developing rapidly. As a result, a whole new technology base needs to emerge quickly, to keep pace with social and legislative change. Liberty Electric Cars recognises that a significant challenge to turn innovative zero emission ideas into volume production rests with the industry's first tier of component suppliers. The purpose of the Liberty Zero Emission Vehicle Foundation is to raise awareness, and attract funds and investment into this sector from private and public sources. It will accelerate the market introduction of zero emission vehicle technologies, over what can be achieved by global market forces alone. Barry Shrier, CEO, Liberty ...

Microsoft Silverlight It’s not that often when a technology comes along that leaves me amazed. You know, the sort of thing when you look at it you think “wow, this is good. Not just good, but perhaps is going to make a difference to websites in a very real way in the near future”. I got this impression when I sat in on a Silverlight demonstration today. Whilst Microsoft sometimes does things in an odd way, this is clearly a technology that they’ve taken time and effort to think out. Here’s what they have to say: Microsoft Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform, and cross-device plug-in for delivering ...

  Sony has announced, at Leipzig today, their latest addition to the PlayStation 3 accessory family.  The PlayStation 3 Chat Pad.  It's actually a "snap on" accessory to the ordinary PS3 game controller, it's due for consumer release by the end of November.  Ah, you see, it's nearing Christmas and Sony would like to expand sales even more.  I bet you a number of games will soon spring out that uses the Chat Pad extensively. This tiny keypad will allow players to "chat"... as if they're not near for a whisper! :)  Quite interesting to note is that the Chat Pad is actually a blue tooth device.  Aaaahhhh... and I would venture a guess that it ...

Big Time

Posted by Jim as Accessories, Furniture
A very artistic concept from designer Lee J. Rowland aptly called "The Big Time".  Originally in silver, but gold was the right color after a makeover from the people of Gold Striker.  For the size it is now you'd think it must weight a ton... but it's not, but still heavy at 180 lbs.  This baby is, I believe, made for the rich and famous at a whopping price tag of US$43,150... yup, definitely not for everybody. The Big Time displays in digital format, so no moving clock hands.  General Specifications: Table equipped with ultra slim utility drawers and progammable L E D clock. Seconds and date viewed with touch buttons ...

  Logitech is again defining great strategies that ups the usability of the humble computer mouse.  The Logitech V550 Nano mouse features a really small receiver that you just plug into your USB drive, and literally forget it's there.  Battery lasts for a a hefty 18-months, which I think is a primary concern. Here's a brief run-through of features and specifications:

Clip-and-Go dock: Allows you to clip your mouse to your notebook—and go. Easy-to-attach, easy-to-remove dock is compatible with all notebooks. Now, you'll have one less thing to carry.

Plug-and-Forget Nano-receiver: Barely larger than a coin, the Nano-receiver is so small that once you plug it into your notebook, you can forget about it. Your mouse is

  I know what you're saying "hey, is that a Wacom Tablet there!".  Well, yes it is.  Lenovo's ThinkPad W700 is a 17" marvel that sports a built-in Wacom digitizer.  Dutifully aimed for the graphics industry it would seem it is a good "idea".  While I am just not too sure about the right palm rest, for me, it is a little "out there" but I could see myself using this too.  Anything that would make me work well with my graphics programs (PhotoShop or CorelDraw) without requiring me to add more to my bag, well is an ace. While I do not see this model at Lenovo.com yet, the Lenovo ThinkPad W700 will ...

The 3G iPhone

I’ve had 3G on my Nokia N95 enabled since I got it – which is about a month or two ago now. I was thus surprised to learn that the iPhone didn’t include this much faster way to connect to the Internet. Consequently, I wasn’t exactly surprised when Steve Jobs big announcement turned [...]
