Acer Attacks The PDA Market With the c500

Posted Monday, March 26th, 2007 by Marius Trusculescu

I will like to congratulate Acer for the great design of the new c500. It really appealed to me from the moment I laid my eyes on it.

Having the looks out of our way I must confess that, even if at first the look of an item may attract me, it is the specification that have the ultimate saying. So let’s see what the c500 is all about. As a portable media player the device Acer PDA c500offers music (MP3) playback and photo imaging and an SD/MMC expansion slot has been added to cope with the storage requirements of these. That storage can also be used to add more maps to the navigation software the PDA has built-in trough the GPS module.

The hardware components of this PDA are powered by Windows Mobile v5.0 operating system that offer a wide range of application trough the bundled programs. You can even browse Internet by connecting to your wireless network using the built-in WiFI 802.11 b/g adapter and there is also Bluetooth support.

Gigabyte H663 Entertainment Unit

Posted Monday, March 26th, 2007 by Marius Trusculescu

Home entertainment is the new battleground for electronic manufacturers as the PC market no longer generates the expected profit margins due to extreme competition and price cuts. It’s clear that the leaders from the computer arena are focusing on this field as both Intel and AMD have developed dedicated platforms for this market (Intel ViiV and AMD Live!).

Gigabyte H663 Entertainment Unit

For today’s topic I chose to speak about the H663 unit Gigabyte recently introduced. Based on the Intel ViiV platform the new product is comes with the Windows XP Media Center Edition installed. Responsible for the computing power is a Intel Pentium D Processor 820/920 mounted on a GA-8I945EF-RH motherboard that offers SATA II hard disk support, integrated graphics, high fidelity 7.1 audio support and an TV Tuner add-in card. To read optical discs Gigabyte included a DVD dual unit, while a 7-in-1 card reader allows you to have instant access to pictures directly from the memory card of your digital camera.

Motorola LAZR, the new baby in the *ZR series!

Posted Monday, March 26th, 2007 by Alex Ion

I am not going to start this one by saying all the clamshell models Motorola launched during the last few months but they all seem to have something in common besides the *ZR suffix, and that is the design. There are rumors now that Motorola is launching a new LAZR model running on Linux and with 512 MB internal memory. It got from it’s bigger brother the KRZR the shinny looks, chromed casing and a 2-inch display. There are disadvantages like the non-existent memory card slot. We are waiting for it at the CTIA next week. Check up the movies below! Source!

Relativity watch pays respects to Einstein

Posted Monday, March 26th, 2007 by Alex Ion

Relativity watch pays respects to EinsteinI don’t think there are many people around the world that wouldn’t know who Einstein is and that he was the first in the world to talk about relativity and about gravity. It seems however that we all pay our respects differently because the idea of a Relativity watch is way beyond what I’ve been thinking.

The relativity watch is very smart by the fact that the hands won’t move, but the numbers will. How neat is this? Now I wonder if people will become accustomed with this way of reading a watch because it can be hard at first. The price is $29 and you can get smart with your friends when you show them the new relativity watch so that you can look good in their eyes. Buy it here.
