ASUS AIGuru SV1 First Mobile Skype Phone

2008-09-19T00:21:00.001-07:00

ASUS just can’t seem to stop its success lately. Not only do they have those hot netbooks, but they have just added to their success with the world’s first Skype Certified videophone called the AiGuru SV1.

The AiGuru SV1 allows the user to make unlimited phone calls with a webcam, speaker, and microphone, and to see the person he or she is calling with the seven inch screen.

Of course, Skype is a funny thing. There are those who cannot do without it, and there are those who have never tried it. If you are in the former category, then you probably work in some business that requires a lot of video conferencing with clients. If you are in the latter category, then you should also find the SV1 easy to use with an “icon-based interface and intuitive button layout”.

As for the Net connection, the AiGuru allows for an 802.11 b/g wireless or to Ethernet via router. As for the power, it has a rechargeable battery that can operate for about 20 minutes. That might be long enough for a full video conversation, but that might be enough to move the SV1 if need be.

POGO IPhone Stylus

2008-09-19T00:21:00.000-07:00

Specially Designed for the iPhone Screen

In case you haven't noticed the iPhone's glassy touch sensitive screen is only sensitive to your stubby little fingers. This is because it uses a technology called capacitive touch which measures the flow of electrons through your skin. Problem is, last time we checked our fingers were pretty rounded and not too precise at picking out tiny URLs in Safari. Luckily thegeniuses behind the Pogo iPhone Stylus have magically solved this problem by making a stylus that somehow tricks the iPhone into thinking it's really a finger. What's more, the tip of the stylus is a soft felt like material that has the added benefit of keeping your screen clean while you tap away. How do they do it? Frankly we're not sure, but hopefully it doesn't involve grave-robbing.

Product Features

Specially designed stylus works with iPhone and iPod Touch

Enables precision selection of on-screen items

Included clip keeps the Pogo Stylus handy

Soft tip material keeps your screen clean while you tap

PS3 to PS4?

2007-10-09T14:50:00.000-07:00

How isn't true that new release of PS3 will become a PS4. After releasing of the Xbox 360 Elite with the 120 GB hard disk, there's have a lot of rumors regarding to the new PS4 or the 2^nd version of PS3.There's no official name in the new version of PS3 called a PS4...

Regarding with the name Sony got the a problem if they named it as PS4 since in the Japanese, the number four (“shi” in japanese) also means death. They give a lot of attention by giving name of the new version of PS3. Japanese consider this number as unlucky number. So that some may give an international name The Sony Galaxy.

The Sony Galaxy will include the four Cell Processors each running at 3.8 Ghz. It also increase their RAM capacities by 4GB of unified/video RAM, to allow the system to display a resolution of 1920x1080p visuals. The console also support the full gamut of television resolution.

-backwards compatibility

-super quiet

-super fast internet (ps4's own internet, just for ps4 users)

-vitual reality (4D)

-virtual pain (sends pain to your body when hurt, or die, but not so much that you accually get hurt)

-completely wireless (except power cord)

-comes with keyboard, mouse, headset, and a portable HDTV

-huge amounts of memory (at least in the terabites)

-able to update (never need a new console, just gets better)

-multiple cell processers (faster downloads)

1/ TV-Out: begin able to play on a large screen is really cool. The movie quality is not as good as a decent DVD player, but it's close and it certainly beats the **** out of my iPod video. Thinking about it, it must be "DVD-quality

* Wi-Fi switch moved to the top of the console
* New UMD loading tray design
