Porsche P9521 Cellphone

UK will soon be having the Porsche P9521 cellphone sometime in the first half of this month - thats enough time to buy Christmas presents, so you have the chance to brag to others that you actually bought a Porsche for your kid/wife/hubby - just don’t let them know that it is a cellphone instead of a mean, street legal racing machine. The Porsche P9521 cellphone will be made available through Mobilephones24.co.uk

Porsche for most of us is a sleek and fast car that is capable of reaching 60 mph from a standing stop in under 5 seconds. Who would’ve thought that the automobile manufacturer would actually come up with a cellphone? Well, they have by collaborating with French partner Sagem, resulting the Porsche P9521. Made out of aluminum, it won’t be able to leave your competition eating dust and smelling burnt rubber, but at the very least they’ll drool after the handset as you make heads turn every time you pull out the handset from your pocket. The design consists of a double hinge system that enables you to open and rotate the phone a full 360 degrees, complete with a touch sensitive screen for a more user friendly experience. After all, touch sensitive displays seem to be the way to go these days, judging by the response that the iPhone as well as other smartphones like the HTC Touch are getting in the market.

Features includes mineral glass on the screen, an integrated fingerprint scanning device to keep your personal data safe, access to a concierge service, a 3.2 megapixel camera, an integrated MP3 player, Bluetooth connectivity, EDGE support and the all the necessary multimedia functions. Too bad there is no 3G on the P9521, as that feature would’ve capped off a fine performance from Porsche’s maiden entry into the world of cellphones.

Add Extra ports

Most of your computing needs when using a Laptop are likely run into the issue of not having enough ports. Face it, no matter how nice your laptop is, they just can’t ever seem to pack in enough USB ports, audio jacks and external video connectors. Well, if you have an ExpressCard slot, then you might want to consider picking up this ExpressCard Docking Station from Targus.

The Dock is specially made for laptop, it’s still got a few of the essentials that you might not already have. This Dock features 4 USB ports, Gigabit Ethernet, a serial port, a variety of audio jacks, one DVI and one VGA port. The nice thing about it is that the video output supports resolutions up to 1,600 x 1,200. Unfortunately, they left out a few ports like FireWire and S-Video.

It requires an AC adapter to work. The good thing is that your USB ports will be powered, and thus will be able to recharge any gadgets you might have when your notebook isn’t on. The additional ports are going to set you back around $300. Honestly, for that kind of cash you’d be better off looking for a dock that is specifically made for your laptop.

Speaking Paper Strip

Wow! its is also a coolest thing that may come to existence very soon. Label that Talks, has come up with software that lets consumers print high-density bar codes on strips of paper that store recorded voice messages. Scan the paper with a cheap handheld scanner--or a cell phone with a built-in scanner--and it plays back a message. The strip of paper you see in the picture can hold about eight kilobits, enough for a ten-second voice message, said Ken Berkun, president and founder.
"We're trying to get it to twenty seconds," he said.
"I have a daughter and I have photo albums," Berkun said, explaining how he came up with the idea for the company. Another large potential market lies in pharmacies and hospitals, which would put labels on medicine bottles. Thus, Mick Jagger, via your plastic prescription vial, could sing "You go running to the shelter of your mother's little helper" every time you go for a Paxil.
Hewlett-Packard is working on similar device called Memory Spot which is a sticker that contains a NAND flash chip. Memory spot prototypes can contain 256 kilobits to 4 megabits of data, so you could store videos in them or additional pictures. Pictures and videos on Memory Spots could be beamed to a computer or cell phone via an integrated networking interface.

Microsoft Surface

As a Gadget Freak i am following a gadget that actually has inspired me in believing how technology can change peoples life. The Microsoft Surface was always like a concept to me until I came across a Video on Youtube, where Bill Gates is showing this Surface thing for real. Microsoft made me believe that we are entering very soon a world where digital based interaction is escaping computers and come to mobile devices and alternative wearables. All people around can check this surface out on Microsoft Official Webpage. And also check on these Youtube videos.

LG KU990 Viewty

The new LG’s KU990 is undeniably a slinky number in the world of mobiles phones. It’s a slim and good looking and doesn’t feel plastic. In simple terms this is a camera that you can ring people on as well as watch TV, browse the web and listen to music. Its has 66 mm touch pad screen which occupies most of the front making it look like a tiny plasma whilst on the reverse, a lens encircled by jog wheel used to control the zoom and navigate through menus and adjust volume, gives the familiar appearance of a camera!

Navigation is made straight forward and friendly by the large and sensible icon layout on the touch screen. Helpfully, you can also set the touchpad to vibrate when you touch it – confirming each selection. Although the icons and buttons on the touchpad are a good size, not having small fingers or long fingernails be a disadvantage, but if this is the case, the small extendable stylus on standby. The only slightly annoying thing is the storage of the stylus which dangles untidily from the top of the phone.
I found messaging slightly easier then on my usual phone – being able to swap swiftly from predictive text to alphabetical to numerical. There is also a clever little handwriting entry feature using the small extendable stylus, but disappointingly this led to errors in recognition and was slower than texting via the keypad. You can also text using a QWERTY keyboard if you wish.
The 5 megapixel camera is easy to access with dedicated camera buttons on the side which just as easily allows movie shooting and playback. As with many digital cameras there is an annoyingly long delay between button-press and shot resulting in missed moments when your subject moves – not great for taking pictures of children!
Viewing your pictures is almost as good as having your prints in your hand especially when using the landscape setting. Images can be viewed either as standard thumbnail or scattered around the screen which is quite snazzy. You can also zoom in and move your pictures around by brushing your finger over it which means you don’t miss any detail.
There is a comprehensive editing suite for images and video footage and the software included is easy to install and use which also allows you back up all you phones data. There is also a music player and FM radio.
The web browser is easy to use and allows you to see full web pages and then to zoom. You can even open up two windows at once and toggle between the two.
Battery life can be short if you find yourself playing with all the features – if using the camera on a day or night out, browsing the web and viewing images you will need your charger every couple of days.

Car Generates hydrogen

The Hydrogen Generating Car is definitely one interesting toy to have around this Christmas, and makes a great gift for whoever is interested in science.
This is the hydrogen-powered car that uses an on-board reversible Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cell to conduct the entire hydrogen-generating and electrolytic process. Considered to be the future of hydrogen power, PEM fuel cells require minimal warm-up time, produce virtually no heat, and have a high power-to-weight ratio, ensuring efficient use and less wear on system components. The car’s reversible fuel cell uses distilled water and an electrical charge from the included solar panel to perform a 10-minute electrolytic process. It measures 6″ x 3″ x 2″.
