Nextar rolls out “sleek and stylish” T30 PMP

June 17th, 2008 by Gadgetboy | No Comments | Filed in Mobile gadgets, Peripherals

It looks like those that prefer their gadgets to call as little attention to themselves as possible now have yet another new PMP to consider from Nextar, which has just pulled up its new T30 model from OEM-land (from the looks of it, at least). This one packs a 3.5-inch QVGA display (not a touchscreen), along with 4GB of memory, an SD card slot for expansion, a built-in FM radio, and support for all the basic audio formats, although you’ll have to convert videos to AVIs using the included software. If that sounds like it’ll do, you can apparently pick one one of these up now from a whole host of retailers, including Wal-Mart, for a $100 (or less, it seems).

EOS wireless speakers for iPod

May 30th, 2008 by Gadgetboy | No Comments | Filed in Electronics, Mobile gadgets, Tech Companies

eos_wireless_speaker.jpg No need to connect a chord to your iPod to hear a favorite track. EOS is just the right thing for lazy bumps like me. You can simply lie on bed and select the track you want to hear and listen on the huge wireless speakers. Isn’t that cool? The Eos system, which is compatible with any iPod with a docking connector, consists of up to 4 self-contained remote speaker/receivers and a base unit/transmitter and can broadcast over 150 feet, inside and out, upstairs, downstairs, through walls, doors, ceilings. Both the Eos base station/transmitter and wireless speaker/receivers feature full 2.1 Stereo with left + right channel audio as well as a ported subwoofer and the incorporation of SRS WOW! Technology. While the dock on the base unit can house any iPodIPod with a docking connector or iPhone, support for any other audio source comes courtesy of an auxiliary analog input on the back. The Eos’ amplified wireless speakers are ready to go right out of the box – once they are plugged in they automatically link with the base station/transmitter making moving a speaker as simple as unplugging it from the wall, moving it and plugging it in again. Since the speakers feature an integrated power supply, they can hang right on the wall outlet with no mounting bracket required or the integrated power supply can be removed and Eos speakers can be set on a countertop or a bookshelf. Each Eos speaker features an individual volume control, so the sound level can be adjusted at the sound point so perfectionists can customize the listening level to their hearts content right from their iPod. Eos is available as a Core System bundle, which includes the base unit and one additional speaker, for US$249.99. EOS wireless stereo speakers are also available separately for US$129.99.

    Early termination fees dropping like flies!!

    May 27th, 2008 by Gadgetboy | No Comments | Filed in Service Providers


    Wireless carriers are going to be taking it easier on its customers in the future as far as early terminations go. The major carriers will be making adjustments in how they charge you for fleeing off to competition and will be creating new reasonable Early Termination Fees (ETFs). I don’t think any fee is reasonable, but then again I don’

    t run a billion dollar company either.

    Later this month AT&T will be adjusting their ETFs to ones that are progressively lowered on a month to moth basis. Apparently AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are all late to the party. Since late 2006, Verizon has been prorating bills and making their customers smile as they speed of to another carrier. Guess a little class action lawsuit here and a regulation there actually budge the big wigs. Or maybe it’s simply everybody toeing the line proactively so the FCC doesn’t butt in on the issue, something they are considering doing

    I think this is great and should have been like this since the start. Cell phone service should be paid monthly and rewarded the longer you stay with them, what with all the competition around. Contracts == hassles.

    Here’s a challenge for you - try starting up a new monthly-paid plan with a companywithout a contract — tell them you have your own phone and so don’t want to be under contract. Is such a thing even possible?

    Today Sony’s PSP guys gave us a heads-up on what’s next for the portable. Two years after Lauching in Japan , we’re finally going to get GPS action for the PSP on this side of the pond. Happily, it looks like we’ll be getting a much better package than Japan for a change.

    Blockbuster’s Box Is Hot Competition for Netflix

    May 21st, 2008 by Gadgetboy | No Comments | Filed in Electronics, Mobile gadgets, Tech Companies

    Can Blockbuster compete with the new Netflix player? Their first attempt at a box of their own (seen here) looks like it might fall a little short when it comes to streaming movies and TV shows on demand. But it absolutely dominates the competition in the areas of fast food pizza delivery. Different strokes, I guess. [Silicon Alley Insider ]

    Refurbished iPhones are an Excellent Source of Previous Users’ Data

    May 20th, 2008 by Gadgetboy | No Comments | Filed in Breaking News, Electronics, Mobile Phones, Mobile gadgets, Service Providers, Tech Companies

    It looks like you might have to think twice before flipping that old iPhone on eBay when the 3G version finally hits — it appears that restoring the phone doesn’t actually erase the contents of the flash, meaning that your data is available to anyone with the proper tools until it’s overwritten. Making matters worse, it appears that Apple doesn’t do a low-level format when refurbishing iPhones either — an Oregon State Police detective was able to use forensic software to pull files, emails, and screenshots off an out-of-the-box refurbished iPhone. This actually shouldn’t be surprising to anyone — we’ve seen Several Utilities that access “deleted” portions of storage — but since Apple doesn’t provide users direct access to the iPhone’s filesystem, it’s basically impossible to clear your personal data off the device short of restoring and filling the disk with junk data. Hopefully iPhone 2.0’s Exchange based Remote Wipe feature is a bit more secure, eh? [Source: Jonathan Zdziarski's Domain via TUAW]

    Microsoft’s XP for low-cost PCs defines some boundaries

    May 10th, 2008 by Gadgetboy | No Comments | Filed in Uncategorized

    While Microsoft has seen it fit to keep XP around as its “relatively non-bloated OS” alternative to the Linux that has dominated this new category of “ultra low-cost PCs” (ULPCs), they’re certainly not giving away the farm. Microsoft doesn’t want this version of XP Home creeping into mainstream laptops and desktops, where it might compete with Vista sales and high-margin machines from PC manufacturers. To that end, Microsoft is setting the limits for ULPCs at 10.2-inch screens, 80GB of storage, 1GB of RAM, 1GHz processors (with some exceptions) and no touchscreens. The upshot is that licenses for XP will go for $26 in developing nations and $32 elsewhere. Too bad the XP faithful among us will need to try a bit harder to wrangle XP onto new machines of theirs that don’t fit these narrow specifications

    Sony Cybershot DSC-N2 Digital Camera

    May 10th, 2008 by Gadgetboy | No Comments | Filed in Electronics, Mobile gadgets


    The Sony Cybershot DSC N2 camera is Texas-big in a sub-compact package! It’s a 10.1 megapixel point-and-shoot camera with a 3X optical zoom and has a ton of manual controls you don’t normally get in a sub-compact camera.
    The N2’s "bigness" comes not from its size in your pocket; it weighs just over 5 ounces and is roughly the size of a deck of cards. The N2’s "bigness" is all about the LCD. It sports a very generous 3-inch LCD that takes up most of the backside of the camera. As a result, the camera doesn’t have many buttons on it; almost all the controls are buried in touch screen menus on the LCD. You do get some really neat in-camera editing options with this camera including the ability to write on photos using the touch-screen and the included stylus.

    Micro Projector is wonderful! and works great!

    May 10th, 2008 by Gadgetboy | No Comments | Filed in Uncategorized

    Mention the word projector and you will probably be faced with the image of something large, bulky and heats up way too easily. Thankfully, the advance in technology has managed to miniaturize many devices, including the traditional projector. This diminutive sized projector isn’t exactly the highest resolution of the lot, but what more can you ask for for something its size? After all, it retails for approximately $200 and measures 6.7? x 3.9? x 3.5?, being small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. It will cast an image around 30″ diagonally, anything more than that will greatly degrade the image quality (480 x 240 resolution). Four AA batteries will be able to power it for up to 2.5 hours, so make sure you stock up on rechargeable batteries before picking this up.
