Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

Nokia has a brand new handset that sees it go head to head against the iPhone thanks to the inclusion of a touch screen with the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. This innovative handset aims to being the best total music experience possible to the public, although anyone using the iPhone might want to dispute that. Bear in mind that the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is one of the first few devices that support Comes With Music, Nokia’s groundbreaking service that provides up to a year’s worth of unlimited access to the entire Nokia Music Store catalogue. Sounds like iTunes has yet another competitor springing up to eat into its lucrative market share, but only time will tell whether Comes With Music is a one-off thing or is it really serious enough to mount a decent challenge.
The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic’s touch screen capability makes it perfect for the Media Bar drop down menu that offers direct access to music and entertainment, including favorite tracks, videos and photos. Not only that, you can use the Media Bar to connect directly to Internet links as well as access online sharing. While the iPhone has recently received word that it will be supporting Flash content, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic already comes with Flash content support right out of the box, providing a richer web surfing experience. Other features of the 5800 XpressMusic include 8GB internal memory, a 3.5mm headphone jack, integrated surround sound stereo speakers and a graphic equalizer.
The 3.2″ widescreen display comes with a 16:9 aspect ratio and with the 3.2 megapixel camera, you will be able to view videos captured in VGA quality at 30fps as well as stunning images with ease. Not only that, those images and videos can also be shared through an online community of your choice including Share on Ovi, Flickr, or Facebook. No idea on how much the XpressMusic 5800 will cost, it will definitely be a high end handset when available.

robotic buoy for a special purpose....

The good people at Osaka University has come up with a prototype of a robotic buoy that has a very specific and special purpose in life - it is meant to combat sea pollution in the event of large scale environmental disasters the world has known as oil spills. The prototype known as SOTAB (Spilled Oil Tracking Autonomous Buoy) is but a 110kg GPS-equipped robot. It will feature a cylindrical buoy length of 2.7m and a diameter of 27cm, and the whole idea is to have these buoys installed aboard oil tankers, enabling them to be dropped into the sea automatically whenever there is an accident. Unfortunately, oil tankers will have to be a whole lot more vigilant and careful for the next three years (at least) since it will take that amount of time at best to roll out from the laboratory.
Designed by Naomi Kato, professor of submersible robotic engineering at the Department of Naval Architecture at Osaka University, Japan, this buoy is said to “conduct education and research on underwater robotics, biomechanics on aquatic animals and its application to engineering, computational hydrodynamics of viscous flow fields.” Sounds like a whole lot of scientific gibberish, but basically translated into layman’s terms, the robot will be able to keep track of the oil slick whether by day or at night, as it features four very sensitive cameras that are able to look out for the black shadow cast by oil above it (the robot will remain submerged at about 10m), while maintaining this vigilance when the sun has gone down simply by turning on its lights. Data such as speed of the current, water temperature, wind direction and wind velocity along with the help of GPS enables the robot to let humans know just where the oil slick is heading.
Can’t they like, hurry up already? God knows the world needed something like this many years back.

spy sunglasses

This is like James Bond style sunglasses which allows you to film everything that comes in your way with two micro cameras placed on the arms of the glasses.

PLASMA TV WITH BLUETOOTH-LG

Plasma TVs have been available in only large sizes, but the one under blogger scrutiny squeezes plasma technology into a 32? screen. Surprising! Yeah! The LG32PG6000 does this with new additional functionalities of bluetooth jacks and 4 HDMI sockets alongwith SCART and VGA PORTS. Not to forget the integrated PVR that it can boast of, where you get two tuners so that you can watch a program while recording the other.
It also comes with a 160GB harddrive with a recording capacity of 80 hours.
Guess you are confused whether its a TV or a PC…

Reppo II match for the next generation music..

Cool to find about this to have the music instead of carrying in your pocket which are unappealing and can go back to the seventies when people walked around with their boomboxes on their shoulders. Not completely. Jonas Saraanen understands that you may be feeling nostalgic about the love-and-peace era but still need you feet firmly on the ground. The Reppo II includes integrated speakers and high quality digital amplifiers in a backpack that you can carry on your back anywhere you want.

The hardshell boombox backpack also gives you enough space for some other necessities that you don’t want to leave home without, like perhaps a six-pack of beer. The Reppo II does not use much power since it runs on small rechargeable batteries. Once an audio source is plugged in, you can carry your music everywhere you go and announce your arrival with the loud beats of your favourite song. The backpack also appears pretty cool in black and white and is intended to be up for production soon.
