The Tech-Watch (The Solar Powered Cell phone Watch)

Tech-Watch is the combination of a touch screen cell phone and a watch, so you can key in the phone number on the touch screen, or you can play the MP3, or movies and otheres. It is a four band GSM cellphone built into a high quality water resistant smart-tech watch and solar powered. This is a fully functional unlocked GSM mobilephone with a 1.5-inch touchscreen where you can also watch movies , Bluetooth, 3g, WiFi ready, with 4gb internal memory and 8gb microSD card, dual-sim, and rich selection of multimedia functions.
Calls are made with the supplied Bluetooth headset or simply use the built-in MIC and speaker to talk/listen directly from the phone. It also has a 5-megapixel camera to enjoy taking pictures and videos, and a voice recognition. This model is weatherproof which means it can be used in most weather conditions, its outer casing is made up of shock resistant polyurethane. This Tech-Watch has built-in emails, with 300 SMS and MMS messaging features.
Another exciting feature of this gadget is that it has mapping service application wherein you can view and navigate places you want to check out .
Since we support the campaign conservation of energy, we thought of using the solar energy to charge the cellphone watch instead of using electricity. The straps of the tech-watch is made up materials that absorbs the energy that comes from the sun.
This gadget is great for students, employees, cyclists, commuters, and anyone who wants to stop carrying round bulky products in their pockets or backpack. Tech-watch has a very stylish and elegant design so you can wear anywhere you want.

Google Wave - A Mega Application


Google Wave - an upcoming Web application that mixes old technologies like e-mail, IM and online documents in a unified, socially-oriented view, could break down the traditional ways in which we compartmentalize and separate information - both as consumers and businesspeople.

Wave - a product that helps users communicate and collaborate on the web. A “wave” is equal parts conversation and document, where users can almost instantly communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.
-as a communication and collaboration tool, but the design of it suggests this technology will be something bigger: It combines the myriad trends we've seen the last couple years on the Web into one application.
For consumers, Wave represents Google's answer to the emergence of social networks.

HIGHLIGHTS and SERVICES
A new communications architecture. A lot of what Wave does is made possible by the fact that Wave messages don't live primarily in the desktop Wave client (which is actually a rich browser-based app), as the traditional design of e-mail dictates, but rather on the Wave server.

INLINE REPLIES
First the simple stuff. Google says Wave is what email would be if it were invented today, so it looks a whole lot like Gmail. But all editing and commenting happen on a single copy of a given wave (that is, message or document). You can comment on a wave below it, or inline.
As-You-Type Live Updates Over the Internet Between Users
Thanks to the new HTML 5 standard and some client-server magic Wave has going on, you can watch your recipient live-type a response in your browser across the internet, much like instant messaging. (If that gives you the creeps, you’ll have the option to disable live as-you-type updating.)
Live Collaboration on a Single Wave
Several people can edit a wave at the same time and watch one another’s cursors dance across the page as it happens.
Wave Revision Playback
When you add someone to a Wave after it’s been chopped up, commented on, and edited by others, that person can see the evolution of that wave using the super-cool playback feature. Imagine watching Wikipedia page revisions happen in sequence.
Private Replies
Like a group email you forward to an individual person to have a “private” conversation, you can restrict access to a sub-Wave to certain people.
Embed Waves into Web Pages
Bloggers will go nuts for this: you can embed waves in web pages and collect replies and edits to those waves in your Wave client, as well as on the page itself. (Google Wave is also a platform with a rich set of open APIs that allow developers to embed waves in other web services and to build extensions that work inside waves. With Embed, you’re able to bring waves into your own site through a simple JavaScript API. For example, embedding a wave in a webpage is a good way to encourage a discussion among the visitors. With Extensions, you’re able to write programs, which are packaged as Robots or Gadgets, that provide rich functionality inside the Google Wave web client.)
Live-Updating Search Results
Keyword search results live-update as others type, too.
Contextual Spellcheck
This was the ultimate OMGPONIES! moment for me in the Wave demo. Using a natural language model, Google Wave’s spellchecker makes smart corrections based on the context of your word. For example, Google Wave auto-corrects the sentence “Icland is an icland” to “Iceland is an island.” (Guess all those billions of web pages can really come in handy.)
Since Wave is open source and extensible, surely we’ll be seeing a lot more functionality when it’s available later this year.
from a layman’s point of view, G Wave seems to be the Giant’s take on social networking in real time, some of the online domains left where it is still not a leader. All these fancy terms seem to be extended towards a creation of a more fancier facebook with more multimedia integration and better chat and other sharing capabilities. On a second thought, G Wave seems more like a conglomeration of existing G technologies (chat, docs and more). Hmmm, too early to say anything.

256MB microSD™ Card, World’s smallest memory card



As more and more advanced, and compact mobile devices make their way onto our shelves, the demand for smaller, higher capacity and better performing Flash Memory Cards increases. The multimedia applications that many of the current Smart Phones, PDAs and Pocket PCs, are memory intensive and require the extra memory capacity of a memory card for storing photos, music and data. With this in mind and to ensure you get the most from your hi-tech devices, Transcend Information Inc., a world leader in flash memory devices, has developed its latest high performance 256MB microSD™ Memory Card, and at only half the size of a mobile phone SIM card it is the smallest memory card in the world.
The microSD™ card’s really tiny size and impressively fast data transfer speeds of up to 10MB/sec make it the perfect choice of Memory Card for use in the next generation of mobile phones, which include a memory card slot as standard. Transcend’s microSD™ card can also be used in regular SD™ memory card slots by combining the card with its provided adapter, thus ensuring that the microSD™ card can be used in all compliant SD™ card devices.
Now you have the convenience of being able to save your photos, MP3 music, or MPEG 4 video clips onto one tiny 256MB microSD™ card, which can be used in your personal mobile devices.
The only problem encountered based on consumer reviews i've read is that when using the mini SD was when using the adapter and trying to increase the storage of their flash based MP3 player. For some reason Windows Media Player said that the disk was invalid. So they're not sure if that was a WMP. Some wished they offered a larger memory capacity than this for the Mini SD.

Brother MPrint MW-260 – Ultra Compact printer



Literally, this is printing in the palm of your hand. While those compact photo printers are all well and good, they don't really compete with the incredible amount of teensy tiny in this new MPrint MW-260 from Brother. Brother shows us its latest compact printer, the MPrint MW-260 which measures only 160×210x18.5mm for 500g. Included with each printer is a 50-sheet paper cassette and a built-in or replaceable rechargeable lithium ion battery capable of printing up to 100 pages (MW-100 series) or 50 pages (MW-260) on a single charge.

If you want to print important contract in a plane, on the road, on a boat, or in the middle of the north pole. This gadget can be nice solution for your problems. Printer can be connected via Bluetooth, IRDA or USB to the source. If mobility is most important thing to you this printer is pretty convenient if you ask me.
But then again, like any other devices, this also have it's disadvantage. Like the paper for example, it's a size of a receipt. So, for most of us it's impractical. It's helpful and convenient but i don't think it's that useful and practical. Amazingly, because the printer is very small and handy, it attracts consumers especially those who are into latest technologies.

HP RJ316UT Bluetooth PC Card Mouse

Doesn't look like an ordinary mouse to us, right?But hey, this really is a mouse, a trendy Bluetooth PC Card mouse. It has all the benifits of standard optical mouse and of course, it's bluetooth and has it's wireless freedom. Now, unlike other wireless optical mouse, this PC Card Mouse needs no battery replacement because it charges inside your HP Business Notebook or your laptop. In addition to that, the battery life lasts up to ten hours of continuous use. It is a wonderful design and allows the perfect way to stow and charge a portable wireless mouse. It is light, compact and easy to use. It would be perfect if only it did not lose connection with the laptop from time to time.You can carry it anywhere with you. It stores nicely in the PCMCIA slot of your laptop and stays charged up and ready to use whenever you're on the go.
Although it looked like the coolest or trendiest mouse, still, it has disadvantages also as experienced by some of the users who bought the product. As you can see, the mouse doesn't have a third button or the scrolling function which is somewhat bad. Furthermore, it does not fit in new notebooks because they are mostly express cards that are narrow. Some said that their biggest complaint is the sensitivity of the optical sensor when they use the mouse on some surfaces. At work, it works fine on the various surfaces they've tried it on(their desk, tables in conference rooms). But at home on their wood dining room table, the mouse pointer skips a lot, almost to the point where the mouse isn't usable. But their old basic MS optical mouse has no problems on the same surface.
Anyways, I still think this is cool because of its wonderful design and perfect portability. I believe that anyone considering this mouse should realize that it is not suitable as a normal, full-time pointing device. It is a perfect backup mouse for those times when you are on the road and do not have another pointing device available. A lot of people still think it's great and would almost be perfect if they add the scroll wheel.

THE ASUS Eee KEYBOARD PC


This is Asus’ Eee Keyboard. This isn’t some run-of-the-mill keyboard, this will be a fully functioning computer housed in the body of a keyboard, the Eee Keyboard. On the right side, there is a five inch touch screen display/touchpad.
Asus would like its Keyboard to travel around the house and wirelessly hook up with televisions and displays via ultra wideband. Asus calls this the “First Wireless Media Center Enabled by Ultra Wideband HDMI.”

According to some recent rumors, the Eee Keyboard is expected to be available by the end of June. Which is just a little over a month away from now.
Just to offer a quick recap, the Eee Keyboard was noted as being the “first wireless media center enabled by ultra wideband HDMI.” Basically, this is a keyboard on steroids. In addition to the standard keys, the Eee Keyboard also has a 5-inch display with an 800 x 480 resolution off to the right in place of the numeric keypad. Of course, that display has to be powered by something, and in this case that something happens to be a full PC tucked inside. Spec wise, the PC inside is rumored to have an N270 Intel Atom processor, 32GB SSD Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth, HDMI-out, microphone in as well as stereo speakers.
Unfortunately there has not been any mention of pricing just yet.
