iPhone lookalike mp4 player with touchscreen

Posted by tim on 17th, 2008

Mp4 player looks like iPhone When there is such a powerful name brand such as Apple, Iphone, or Ipod laughing at you and your pitiful attempts at new mp4 players what do you do? What do you do?

Why you copy them of course!

The KL-285 mp4 player is taking the stance that if they look like an iPhone or iPod then people will grab it just to look cool. But, does it stand up? The KL-285 certainly can’t call anyone nor will you be able to get any internet connection no matter how hard you smack it, it does have some alright features for an mp4/mp3 player.

It features include the usual such as a microSD memory card slot, support for 3GP, MP4, and AVI video formats, MP3 playback, a clock and calendar function, an e-book reader and an integrated FM radio.

The $47 KL-285 also includes a 2.8″ touch screen 320 x 240 resolution display, a 2 megapixel camera with video recording capabilities, 4.5 hour video playback and 8 hour audio on a single charge. If you’re looking for just an mp4 player with no bells and whistles then why not.

radJacket charges iPod Touch on the go.

Posted by tim on 16th, 2008

radJacket pocket charges iPod There is nothing worse than being out listening to your music, or web browsing, or in the middle of a video and your iPod Touch goes dead. Well, the Japanese company Radius has just solved that problem with the radJacket CHARGE.

The radJacket is a cool little hard case that keeps your iPod Touch free from dust, dirt, grime, scratches, dings, spills, cracks, and anything else that could happen to it while you’re out. As cool as that is, that’s not the best part.

You can get a case anywhere but what Radius has done is put in a rechargeable Lithium ion battery to keep your iPod Touch fully charged. This recharging ability now prolongs the life of your Touch to up to
46 hours of music, 12 hours of video and 10 hours of web browsing. Nice.

The lithium ion battery can be recharged with miniUSB and is ready to go after just 3 hours. The radJacket is only available in Japan right now.

Philips DVD Player Now Has iPod Dock

Posted by tim on 13th, 2008

Philips DVD Player with Ipod Dock It’s nothing new to have a portable DVD player with the ability to dock an Ipod into it for the added functionality of sound/video. But that’s not what we’re talking about here.

The Philips DCP951/37 Docking Entertainment System is not really portable. It could be, as it does come with a battery with a life of about 2.5 hours on a single charge, but the DCP951/37 is better suited for spaces in your home, room, or dorm where a big screen or large entertainment system is just not possible or necessary.

The player is equipped with a 9 inch diagonal LCD screen with built in speakers. The iPod dock swings from the back when needed. In addition to being able to playback DVD and it’s iPod functionality, it also has SD/MMC card slot for memory cards and supports a wide variety of playback formats including DVD, DVD+/-R and DVD+/-RW, (S)VCD, DivX & MPEG4 videos.

In the portable DVD market, this is a pretty good gadget and is something that is rather inexpensive (only 199.99 at Amazon).

Don’t let your kid fool you into buying the NapTV

Posted by mel on 13th, 2008

NapTV

What is the point of NapTV by designer Sung-kyu Na? Umm see picture. It looks like kiddy stuff but NapTV isn’t just the way to make your kid lazy, man. And please, it isn’t the coolest chair to sit on while doing school work. Your kid will mostly likely watch TV most of the time. ”Mom, it’s the NapTV for what it is!”

Of course, lying on bed and looking above must be the most comfortable way to watch TV but maybe it’s not good for your health.

So, a kid might be better off socializing with the opposite sex. On second thought, the drawing of the person with the NapTV above is that of a kid at heart rather than that of a kid. I’m okey with that. It’s one more reason to stay in bed for us adults. Pretty terminal.

Verdict: Now, don’t they make a version for the whole family?

Hummer HT2 Phone is just as tough as the truck.

Posted by tim on 7th, 2008

Hummer HT2 We all know that the almost indestructible, go anywhere, super macho Hummer is the ultimate in off road/on road/red carpet transportation. Just about the only place you don’t want to take it is in a cramped Wal-Mart parking lot. But, do you know about the equally tough cell phone?

Hummer is launching the second generation cellphone, the HT2 made by French telecom company ModeLabs. Inspired by it’s vehicle namesake the HT2 is made of an all metal case to match the Hummer’s grill and wheels. I do have to say that it does look pretty sharp.

The HT2 Hummer phone is loaded with amazing goodies such as 500 hours of work time on the full charge and dual SIM. It comes with a 2 megapixel camera, mp3/mp4 player, is Bluetooth compatible, carries 11 MB of built-in memory and a microSD card slot to scale up the memory capacity.

To cap that off the HT2 Hummer phone has an impressive 176 x 220 pixel TFT display that supports 256,000 colors. While the HT2 phone won’t be breaking any type of iPhone sales records, or replacing anyone’s Sony XPERIA X1, it is pretty fashionable. Is that even allowed in the world of tech and gadgets?

It’s a hummer. It has to be alright.

The HT2 Hummer phone is slated to be ready in Russia (WTF??) in the first quarter.

Xperia X1 with Windows 6.1

Posted by tim on 3rd, 2008

Sony XPERIA X1 The decisions in the world of smartphones continues to get harder and harder. Sony has announced that their new multimedia phone, that is going to be a major rival to Apple’s iPhone, will be running Windows Mobile 6.1.

After the format war, HD DVD Promotion Group sends dying message to its fans

Posted by mel on 28th, 2008

The war’s over, Blue-ray won, and all the romantic attempts at revolution came for naught for HD DVD Promotion Group. To its fans, it kinda left a brief directive or interment announcement at their site, which may have been generated by a bot. That’s rude. But that’s because the guys are probably still disconsolate over their beloved HD DVD.

But cry no more. In the sweepingly broadband future, the war will seem puny. The past will always seem funny. See ya around, HD DVD.
