The Oppo Muse G11 is certainly looking to tick all of those boxes,

Oppo has the first prototype of the device out and about but are still being a little cagy about the tech-specs.

When I get some more info I shall of course impart it to you my faithful gathering :)

Kodak Release OLED Picture Frame

Written by Jay Garrett on September 17, 2008 in: Camera's, Furniture, General Interest, News, Office, Portable Media, Storage | Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

Twas only a matter of time.

Kodak have released a new picture frame based on CMEL’s new mass-produced, 7.6-inch OLED panels out into the wilds!

This ultra-thin wireless 800 x 480 pixel frame shall sport 2GB of internal storage, integrated audio, a 30,000:1 contrast, 180-degree viewing angle, and photo service compatibility with Flickr and such.

I just think the tiny matter of requiring to part with $999 may slow sales down a tad.

Here’s a smattering of other specs that this octomeg eye’d soon-to-be new flagship will be loaded with (even though it’s rear aint as pretty as it could’ve been in my opinion).

    Logitech have just announced a trio of new keyboards starting with its thinnest keyboard ever.

    The 9.3-mm thin Illuminated Keyboard (pictured) is said to retail at $80 from October.

    It features an adjustable backlight, soft-touch palm rest and dedicated multi-media keys for hot, one-handed night typing alone in the dark. No, that’s not a euphomism!!

    They also mentioned the portable, 2.4GHz wireless DiNovo Keyboard for Notebooks ($100 also out in October) that boasts an incredible 3-year battery life and then they outed the Cordless Desktop S520 ($60 buy it this month) keyboard and optical mouse combo.

    The latter features more of that same impressive power management capable of squeezing out 8 months of usage for the mouse and 15-months for the keyboard.

    Loox! It’s The Fujitsu UB50n - U2010 or U820…

    Just have a gander at Fujitsu’s latest lappy. 

    To say it’s small……it makes the EeePC look like it could do with some exercise!

    The Loox U/B50N has a 5.6in screen blasting out that 1,280×800 res and measures just 171×135×33mm when folded up.  Ahhhh - bless!

    Also known as the Lifebook U820 in the Good ol’ US and U2010 everywhere else it is powered by a 1.6GHz Atom chip and sports a 1GB of RAM and 60GB hard drive.

    The colourways are quite varied from the conservative black or silver, to a more outgoing pink or beige (what is it with brown these days?).

    My choice would be the tokidoki version :)

    Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte - Top Price Mid Range

    If you’re looking for a medium spec phone for high-end ca$h - loook no further!

    Nokia are wanting people just like you to spend that cash all in the name of Arte.

    Or should I say; the Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte.

    I’m reckoning that the average punter who’ll even consider this mobile wont be buying it for the 3G connectivity, 3.2-megapixel auto focus camera, 4GB of storage, OLED display or the anti-fingerprint coating.

    This slider is all about flashing your wad. 

    It’s created from carbon fibre, titanium, polished glass and stainless steel and was inspired by architecture, sports cars and aerospace - apparently.

    Then there’s the exclusive 3D screen patterns, soundtracks and wallpapers.

    The killer blow is the 1,100 Euros (plus contract) you’ll have to dish out to pay for it!

    It’ll be out just in time for crimbo - I hope Father Christmas rolls it pimp style.

    Blackberry Javelin Spec Leaked

    Those incredibly well informed people over at Crackberry have managed to get themselves some marketing pics of RIM’s new non-3G smartphone, the Blackberry Javelin!

    It looks like the Javelin will be running a 512 MHz processor, coupled with 256 MB of onboard flash memory plus a hot-swappable microSD slot, a hi-res 460 x 360 HVGA+ display, Wi-Fi with UMA and GPS, and a 3.2 megapixel camera.

    What is rather tantalising is the “integrated lens/LCD technology.”

    Could this be pointing to a second camera hidden behind the display?

    Alternatively it could just be marketing chatter for “a really nifty bit of kit”…

    We’re still looking at a  2009 release date though.

    Click the pics to go large ;)

    Fuji Lifebook U2010 Gets Official In Vietnam

    Have a gander at Fujitsu’s Lifebook U2010.

    It’s been part of the rumour mill for quite a while but now the full specs and some decent pics have appeared on a Vietnamese forum.

    The tiny laptop / tablet will feature an Intel Atom CPU (at 1.6GHz or 1.8GHz), a 5.6-inch 1024 x 768 display, an 80GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM, a 3G radio, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, and will weigh 680 grams (about 1.5 lbs).

    There’s not so much as a hint of release date or where it will go on sale.

    Pricing, however, is said to be in the region of $1300!

    Written by Jay Garrett on February 26, 2008 in: General Interest, Laptops, News, Portable Media | Tags: , , , , ,

    MBPNewWell in true form of a post-Apple store closure - Apple has released details of how they have refreshed their MacBook and MacBook Pro line.

    Boosting the processor speeds and giving the Pros that tasty multi-touch the MacBook Air has been tarting about.

    Updates to the GPU, an optional LED backlight for 17-inchers, as well as LEDs on all the rest of the Pros and of course the uprated topspeeds.

    The new specs on the MBPs include a speed tweak to a base of 2.4GHz all the way up to 2.6GHz, a mysteriously familiar 3MB or 6MB L2 cache on the CPU, added RAM to the graphics card (up to 512MB for the 17-inch model), and of course the new touchy-pad.

    It’s a little leap but no doubt will have Mac Fans salivating!  :0P

    The 2.1 GHz, 13-inch white MacBook $1,099 (US)
    The 2.4 GHz, 13-inch white MacBook $1,299 (US)
