 This little alien device surely draws heads and attention to its sleek body – which reminds me of the movie, Independence Day starring Will Smith himself. Surely, I will give them a 10/10 for the design score, but this little baby is packed with 1,280x720 resolution, 2,000 lumens, 10-but independent dual image or motion adaptive processing and a whopping 10,000 to 1 contrast ratio.
Also, for a huge price tag of $15,495 price tag strapped to its thigh, you’ll find RS-232 port and twin HDMI 1.3 sockets equipped with it.
It might be a ‘little pricey’ but with the specs and quality being assured, I’m sure it’s money well spent.

 Nobody would ever dream of power being transmitted wirelessly. Well one thing for sure, if you have seen Ghost Hunters on TV, EMF or rather electro magnetic fields might boost your senses giving you tingling sensations and hallucination.
Intel did a demo on a wireless power system which could lit up a 60 watt bulb – which is very impressive by nature! It seems that its transmitting electromagnetic fields which would then be converted into power rather then transmitting electric over thin air. It’s still a long way in the future before we could realize a world without wires.
Well, at the moment, Intel just want to charge up laptop batteries with this technology rather then powering the entire world.

 I’ve been playing PSP for god knows how many years already. Not only I was impressed with this little device’s capability to withstand my gaming addiction, I could play my favorite titles for 6 hours on a single charge!
Well, Sony has rolled out their new PSP-3000 with a new and improved LCD screen. According to press releases, they doubled the color gamut and has over five times the contrast ratio and doubled response time.
With all these goodies combined together – I can only say one thing, MORE FUN!

 It’s another mini-pc! (or rather a netbook in some cases). Well not many has heard of this manufacturer called Viliv, but they have launched 2 new product lines namely the S5 MID and S7 UMPC.
Here are some basic specifications:
Utilizes Atom processor
Built-in GPS
WiMax/HSDPA
Although it’s pretty vague when they will launch these cute little babies, I believe that they plan to release it into the market by early 2009. Also, UMPC portal has claimed that 3G might also be possible with these devices. Furthermore, they have impressive video playback time of five to six hours.

 This basic processor built by Intel has become one of today’s hottest topics in any IT stores nationwide. Reportedly to consume very low wattage over its other processing cousins, laptops or rather netbooks that utilizes this little ‘Atom’ could have longer battery life when compared to the dual cores.
Selling like hot cakes, Atoms processors are already short on supply. With Intel revving up its production for the Atoms to meet its demand, others might also want to try out Intel’s other mobile solution which is the Celeron processor.
It’s small and tiny and it doesn’t consume much, it’s an Atom! |

 Nobody thought that it was possible to rev up the RAM capacity to a whopping 16GB. Well Hynix definitely made it when they showcased their gigantic 16GB RAM modules at IDF.
Reportedly using MetaRAM technology, I can say that the technology being used in this piece of hardware is pretty revolutionary. Well, the demo system being used that day could support a whopping 10 RAM modules which gave the system 160GB of RAM. It’s like storage huge load of volatile data at your computer’s backyard.
Who wants their PC supercharged with some juicy big RAM capacity?

 Remember the movie, The Matrix back in the early 21st Century? Intel predicts that man and machine would merge by 2050! Justin Rattner claimed that Intel's research labs are beginning a search at human-machine interfaces and predicts that potential changes could come sooner than expected.
Well, this claim would certainly materialize with Intel’s latest research on microscopic transistors – namely the catoms. But it also makes me wonder – are we already living inside a machine which projects virtual reality directly into our mind whereby the entire human civilization is enslaved by these micro-processor based organism?
Neo, can you rescue me?

 Mobile phone manufacturer are going for style – remember when Paris Hilton ‘pimped’ her mobile phone using those little bling blings? It was a rage and now LG has launched their own shiny little device codename KC910.
What this little wonder could do is it has a whopping 8MP camera – I wonder how could they pack so many light transistors into such a small area? This is a touchscreen-based handset, which is much similar to the Apple iPhone. It also comes with Bluetooth, WiFi, microSD, Xenon Flash, TV output and many other goodies.
And oh, it’s scheduled for October launch.

 Netbooks are supposed to be cheap. In this case, Acer dropped its price on its prime netbook selections – the Aspire One. It was reportedly sold for $399 until recently where the price was revamped to $349 for the Windows XP version, $329 for the Linux Lite Model, and if you want the one which comes with better battery pack, it would cost you $399.
Well, this small baby is packed with an 8.9 inch – but just keep in mind that it’s not supposed to perform complex number crunching operations or to play highly complicated 3D games. It’s perfect for normal word processing tasks as well as normal browsing.
