Sony announced many consumer electronics goodies on February 27 including seven new LCD TVs. But only two were capable of Full HD 1080p, so I will focus on the V-series 46″ KDL-46V3000 and 40″ KDL-40V3000. These two BRAVIA sets accept 1080p at 60fps or 24fps over HDMI. With the BRAVIA name comes the BRAVIA EX [...]
Samsung Electronics’ Cannes plasma display panel (PDP) TV is the culmination of the company’s many display enhancement technologies such as: Ultra DayLight, Natural True Color, and Real Motion Studio. The Cannes PDP TV features a contrast ratio of 1000:1 in a bright room and a much improved 15000:1 in dark rooms due the its Ultra [...]
Sharp is introducing five AQUOS R Series LCD TV models on March 10, 2007 in the Japanese market. The five R Series include a 42″, 46″, 52″, 57″ and a 65″ LCD TV and all of them feature a 120Hz frequency that is double the normal of 60Hz resulting in better on screen performance with [...]
Finally, Canon has come out with the PowerShot TX1. It’s function is very similar to Sanyo’s HD1 in that it is capable of recording video in 720p or with a pixel format of 1280 x 720. (The HD1 only takes pictures at 5.1 megapixel.) I have never really liked the aesthetics of Sanyo’s HD1 so [...]
Sony’s IMX017CQE is a high-speed image sensor that is only 1/1.8″ in size and outputs an amazing 60fps with a 6.4 megapixel format. 6.4 megapixels at 60fps equals to 384 megapixels per second! What does this mean? With this single chip, not only can you take 6.4 megapixel images, which would be good enough for [...]
The HTC Advantage X7500 sports a 5″ touchscreen LCD with a pixel format of 640 x 480 and features a 3 megapixel camera, a second camera with 640 x 480 capability, Bluetooth 2.0, TV output, GPS with TomTom, a 8GB hard disk and a miniSD expansion slot. The HTC Advantage X7500 is rated to last [...]
HP’s TouchSmart PC is an all-in-one touch-screen PC and is powered by Microsoft’s Vista and AMD’s Turion 64 X2 TL-52. HP held a consumer press launch in Seoul, South Korea from January 24 to 25. There is only a single power cord coming out of the TouchSmart. The LCD is a 19″ wide with a [...]
I opened up Engadget and there it was, Apple’s iPhone. But, no, not really, just something that looks very close to it. It is Meizu’s M8 or miniOne. The OS within the miniOne is clearly in Chinese but the icons, their shapes, sizes and locations bear clear resemblance to Apple’s iPhone.
According to the article, there [...]
Scientists from the Kavli Institute for Nanoscience and Philips Research Labs were able to develop a light-emitting diode from a single quantum-dot nanowire that may lead to single nanowire based fabrication of optoelectronic nanodevices. The quantum-dot nanowire LED could enable the combination of single-electron transport and single-photon optics. Nanowire based LEDs are more efficient in [...]
Samsung’s SPH-P9000 Deluxe MIT is a unique UMPC that opens up to reveal a pretty large QWERT keyboard. Another unique feature of the SPH-P9000 is the Mobile WiMax capability. Although Engadget was able to test it’s WiMax capability, whether it was the network or the prototype, connection was dialup-slow.
The SPH-P9000 also has CDMA EV-DO connectivity, [...]
