Compact color projector is very tiny
Monday, August 4th, 2008
Just how small do you think projectors will get in
due time? Well, chances are nanotechnology will help us make large strides, but
at this point in time we’ll have to be content with what Nippon Signal has to
offer - a SVGA compact color projector so small, it resembles a cigarette box.
Now that’s really tiny, although you do have to make do with the 800 x 600
resolution which won’t win points with audiophiles who want the latest and
greatest. Still, portability is a huge asset here as everyone knows, lugging around
a really large projector whenever you head out of the office will cause nothing
but shoulder aches and a worried persona (you never know who might just
make off with that $10k projector anytime).

LG BD300 Blu-ray player offers Netflix streaming
Saturday, August 2nd, 2008
It is rather surprising to see that nobody has covered
this piece of news yet, but LG’s latest Blu-ray player, the BD300 is able to support
Netflix streaming through the TV, where customers will be able to access the
Netflix instant Queue as it appears on the TV. Of course, this opens up a whole
new world of possibilities where entertainment is concerned, but how many of
the movies on Netflix are recent enough to keep people interested? Granted,
there are over 12,000 movies available in its back catalogue, but we don’t really
need to watch the entire Star Wars trilogy (the original one before George Lucas
put money before ideas) one more time just to experience the “wonder” of movie
streaming, right? Anyways, I digress. More on the LG BD300 and the Netflix
service right after the jump.

T-Mobile Sidekick, plain and simple
Thursday, July 31st, 2008
After much speculation on what the latest Sidekick device from T-Mobile will be
called, the carrier decided to just name it Sidekick, plain and simple. There won’t
be any other code name attached to it, bringing us back to the basics. You will be
able to choose to fit one out of two shells that come with each Sidekick purchase -
black and metallic green. There will also be a wide range of pre-designed shell
patterns and colors for you to pick up at T-Mobile retail stores or online, and I’m
pretty sure we won’t have to wait for long until someone with an excess amount
of Swarovski crystals and super glue decide to bling up their Sidekick. Granted,
other luxury labels might also think of blinging this up with diamonds and
precious jewels, but that’s another story for another day. For now, we will look at
the features right after the jump.

Nokia E71 arrives in the US
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008
The US version of the Nokia E71 is one highly
anticipated handset, although it won’t command as strong a following as the
recent iPhone 3G release. Still, this business centric cell phone is touted to be the
slimmest QWERTY device on the market, measuring a mere 0.39″ in thickness. It
is currently available to the general public via a range of consumer electronics,
wireless and online retailers, and at the Nokia Flagship Stores in Chicago and
New York. More of the E71 can be garnered if you read past the jump.

Cuil from ex-Google engineer
Monday, July 28th, 2008
Google could end up bitten in the back by their ex-engineers as a group of them
have founded a new search engine which is touted to cover three times as many
Web pages compared to the monster known as Google. Man, and to think that
we just celebrated the milestone of Google having indexed a trillion pages - it
will be amazing to see how this start-up manages three trillion. The new
company is known as Cuil Inc., will be launching it’s search engine today and
hopes to deliver much better results compared to other major search engines.
How does it do so? The answer lies in searching across more Web pages and
studying them more accurately, leaving Yahoo! and Microsoft something to
ponder upon. Perhaps they should now start talking to each other again about a
merger if they are to survive the coming onslaught.
