Microsoft's backlit, rechargeable, wireless keyboard
Image Gallery (6 images)
June 30, 2006 Now let’s get one thing straight – we hate the QWERTY keyboard. It is 150 year old technology masquerading as high-tech and strangling the productivity of the world’s computer users. But until a viable alternative to the predominant computer input device comes along that has enough momentum to survive, we’re prepared to acknowledge the ongoing incremental improvement of this ghastly device. Microsoft is the world’s largest producer of keyboards and has offered some significant enhancements along the way, most notably the tilt wheel and the Magnifier and is set to release a wireless keyboard that is both rechargeable and backlit. It's even pretty smart for a keyboard as the ambient backlighting turns on when a room is dimly lit, and proximity sensing turns it on when the user's hand approaches. Read More
The world’s most expensive mousemat
Image Gallery (5 images)
June 19, 2006 It’s hard to imagine someone paying UKP260 (US$481.55) for a mousemat but that’s exactly what punters will be able to do now that Formula 1 has developed its very own merchandising range. Merchandising brings in millions to each of the 11 teams that compete in the world’s most expensive sport and most watched sporting series, so it was good sense to develop a whole range of polo shirts, watches and keyrings designed to reflect the stellar brand values and upmarket price tags that go along with the F1 circus. The carbon fibre and leather mousemat was designed “using state of the art automotive 3D modelling software” and is hand-made in England by specialist composite technicians who make Formula One monocoques. Slightly cheaper but looking perhaps even more the part is a solid carbon fibre mousemat (there isn’t a square millimetre of leather anywhere near a Formula One car or driver) which sells for UKP250 (US$463) but unfortunately, the beautiful carbon fibre weave surface isn’t compatible with optical mouses – so make sure you check the image library so you get the right one – it’d be a shame to sell the kids for a mousemat that wasn’t compatible with your Microsoft Mouse.

One of the most competitive areas of technology is the speed with which we write to optical storage media – five minutes saved writing a DVD is something we’re all prepared to pay for. And Samsung loves the bigger/better/faster game, so it’s not surprising that we’re announcing yet another first , this time as the first manufacturer to market an 18X rewritable DVD and 12X DVD-RAM writable drive with its new WriteMaster SH-S182D, a five percent recording time improvement over the industry’s current 16X drives.

Matrox box offers three screens from one PC
Image Gallery (3 images)
June 14, 2006 Human beings, unlike computers, don't double their productivity every 18 months. Indeed, despite a lifetime of education and thinking, a productivity increase of a few percentage points is difficult to achieve. With that in mind, you'll see why we think the US$300 Matrox TripleHead2Go deserves killer app status. It’s a palm-sized box which enables most computers to use three 19” monitors with a combined resolution of up to 3840x1024 and an incredible 45 inches of total diagonal - even if those systems only support a single display output. Research from Apple Computer shows the productivity of a computer user is directly linked to the amount of screen real-estate in front of them, while Microsoft research shows that two screens offer more productivity than one screen. So why not supercharge your productivity with three screens. It's a simple decision - thanks to Matrox, the Return-On-Investment (ROI) equation now looks MUCH better. Read More
Microsoft’s LifeCam VX-6000 and VX-3000 high quality, low cost webcams
Image Gallery (8 images)
June 14, 2006 For a company known for its software. Microsoft is doing pretty well in the hardware stakes - it just happens to manufacture more keyboards and mice than any other company on Planet Earth. So it was significant that the upcoming availability of a new line of Microsoft webcams was announced today. Microsoft’s extensive consumer research was the reason for the new hardware development as it revealed that computer users would use webcams if they were easier to operate and provided better audio and video quality. The research showed that the world’s population is quite keen to avail itself of the personal communication possibilities of the personal computer and the global network. To counter those perceived frustrations with existing webcam hardware, Microsoft Hardware and Windows Live joined forces to develop a line of LifeCams, the first of which are the LifeCam VX-6000 and LifeCam VX-3000.

April 16, 2006 Holographic data storage pioneer InPhase Technologies, has announced that it has demonstrated the highest data density of any commercial technology by recording 515 gigabits of data per square inch. Holographic storage is a departure from existing recording methods because it takes advantage of volumetric efficiencies rather than only recording on the surface of the material and the industry’s first holographic drive will reach market later this year. The first generation drive will have a capacity of 300 gigabytes on a single disk with a 20 megabyte per second transfer rate. The first product will be followed by a family ranging from 800GB to 1.6 TB capacity. Read More
Motorola’s ingenious Bluetooth Skype and stereo music headphones
Image Gallery (3 images)
April 7, 2006 The Motorola Talk & Tunes Wireless Internet Calling Kit is just incredibly clever and useful and we think everyone will want a pair. It is the ultimate fusion of advanced entertainment, communications and convenience – it is relevant to anyone who ever listens to music on their PC or ever uses Skype (or any other VOIP app), or ever plans on doing so. The killer app is that it enables hands-free calling and music listening up to 30 feet (10 meters) away from your Bluetooth-enabled PC and if you don’t have a Bluetooth-enabled PC then you just plug in the Motorola Bluetooth PC Adapter PC850 (pictured above wireless headphones) into your ‘puters USB port and it all works. What’s more, with the ability to control calls and music directly from the Motorola Bluetooth HT820 headphones (left ear side of the headphones controls the phone, the right your music and there’s an integrated microphone in there too), you can talk or listen without being wired to the computer, taking internet calls between other digital audio activities such as music, internet radio, audio books, podcasting ad infinitum. When a call comes in, the music pauses, allowing you to answer directly from the headphones. When the call is complete, the music will automatically resume. Read More
Fujitsu phone and PC concepts unveiled in Milan
Image Gallery (6 images)
April 5, 2006 The Good Design Award 50 Years exhibition is currently on display at La Triennale di Milano (Milan, Italy) to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Japan's foremost design awards, the Good Design Awards (also called the G-Mark system). One of the highlights of the exhibition which features 20 of Japan’s best known industrial design brand names, is a display of concept phones and computers from Fujitsu. It’s strange that we should be given such an insight into the direction of a Japanese computer company through a design exhibition in Milan, but the thrust of the message is that Fujitsu is clearly focussing on clever design to offer smaller yet fully functional devices. Two “slider” mobile phones are on display, one which incorporates a complete keyboard and large web interface screen and the other, known as a Multi Slider, offers differing functionality depending on the direction of the slide. There’s also an ultramobile PC with a clever fold-up keyboard and a beautiful flexible PC which can be set up as a tablet computer, a laptop, or a desktop computer. Read More

FlashDisc – the new flash-based floppy?
Image Gallery (4 images)
March 16, 2006 Now we’re not sure if this one will fly or not. msystems has announced the introduction of FlashDisc, a new flash-based storage category. The FlashDisc has between 16 and 32 megabytes of data storage and a USB interface, which allows sharing of data on virtually any PC or Mac. The format is a response to market research which has identified an apparently unmet consumer need for small, easy to use, rewritable media with storage density higher than the old floppy diskettes, but lower than that of personal USB flash drives typically used today. As yet there’s no price been announced, and we’d suggest this product will be very price sensitive, as it’s essentially a personal give-away for people who haven’t heard about the internet yet.

February 15, 2006 Increased adoption of wireless technologies by healthcare organizations requires a wide variety of device types, depending on the clinical or business application. Yet, according to Gartner analyst Ken Dulaney in a May, 2005 report ("Healthcare Device Category Selection Guide"), there "is a product void in the 1-kilogram weight range." This void, between traditional PDAs, which offer limited functionality, and standard clamshell or tablet PCs, which can be too heavy or cumbersome for regular bedside use, is to now be addressed by Panasonic’s Toughbook Wireless Display, which designed to offer an optimal combination of size, weight and functionality for point of care applications. Panasonic announced the new computing device specifically designed to support e-health initiatives, improve clinical care and enhance business performance at the 2006 HIMSS Conference & Exhibition in San Diego yesterday.

February 7, 2006 When Nicholas Negroponte drew his famous convergence Venn diagram more than three decades ago, he forecast the convergence of broadcast, telecommunications, computing, and publishing. Since then, the acceleration of this trend has been increasing and there’s no doubt the computer and telephone are in the process of morphing right now. In recent times we’ve seen many different form factors for this, with several VOIP telephone/mouse combinations and multitudinous USB and wireless VOIP handsets and now computer peripherals specialist A4 Tech has announced it will debut a new Talky multimedia keyboard with built-in VOIP handset at CEBIT in Hannover, Germany on March 9.

Lenovo shows concept PCs behind closed doors
Image Gallery (7 images)
February 7, 2006 A few weeks ago as CES 2006 was drawing to a close, Gizmag's Dave Weinstein and Rob Walker were invited to a closed door meeting with some of Lenovo's top designers. From time to time we get a chance to peek into the future and get a glimpse at the gear we may possibly be using a year (or five) from now, and the preview we received from Lenovo was one of the most promising demonstrations we've seen in a very long time. A large part of Apple's recent string of successes can be attributed to their outstanding industrial design. It's becoming much harder to differentiate product on a strict technology basis (note the CES trend of over-integration). We think we're witnessing a resurgence in the importance of good design. As a result of Lenovo's purchase of IBM's PC division (and that group's continued focus on ID), we think we'll soon see Lenovo established as a premier consumer brand. Unfortunately, since some of the device prototypes demonstrated were top secret, we were told that we could write about them, but couldn't take pictures. Accordingly, though we can show you some pictures, we'll do our best to describe what we've seen and you'll have to fill in the blanks with your imagination. Read More
World's first automated Blu-ray Disc Publishing System
Image Gallery (2 images)
February 7, 2006 Primera has announced what we believe to be the world's first automated burn and print device to support new high-capacity Blu-ray Disc recorders and media. Along with its reliable (we use the current model in our main office at Gizmag) built-in robotics and full-color direct-to-disc inkjet printing, the US$5995 Bravo XR-Blu incorporates Pioneer's new BDR-101A Blu-ray Disc/DVD Recorder. The initial release of the XR-Blu utilizes single-layer discs to store up to 25 gigabytes of data. An upgrade will be available shortly after launch that will allow dual-layer media, which stores up to 50 gigabytes of data per disc. Since up to 50 discs can be loaded into the XR-Blu at a time, the upgrade will offer a total native capacity of up to 2.5 terabytes of data that can be published in a single session, opening up new applications and solutions that until now were impossible due to storage space constraints. The XR-Blu will be exhibited at CeBIT in Germany from March 9-16, and will begin shipping in April. Read More
Infrant Technologies Releases new ReadyNAS NV Network Attached Storage Product.
Image Gallery (9 images)
February 6, 2006 Infrant Technologies has just released an new addition to their already excellent ReadyNAS line of small NAS servers, the ReadyNAS NV. As digital life requires ever more personal digital storage, maybe it’s time to look at one of the new Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices now available – think of these as personal and small business equivalents to the large files servers that corporations use. Of the devices that we've seen, Infrant Technologies' ReadyNAS 600/X6, and their new ReadyNAS NV have impressed us the most. Dave Weinstein had the chance to test the new NV device and found it was smaller than its predecessor with hot swappable drives and a faster processor. Infrant even supports UPNP-AV (universal plug-and-play audio visual extensions), so when you store all your music on your ReadyNAS, you'll be able to access it from your media PC or media center extender or any other device compatible with the standard.

World’s first Petabyte storage array
Image Gallery (3 images)
February 5, 2006 When boys get together and drink alcohol, the story often gets around to who has the biggest, fastest, etc and during a recent such session one of our number attended, the discussion got around to the size of our respective MP3 collections. As each successive person announced the size of their MP3 collection, your humble scribe, who shall remain nameless for good reason, felt his usual inadequate self. You see, three among the number had music collections in excess of 100 gigabytes and one of the people we all knew who wasn’t present was pronounced to have a collection larger than 500 gigabytes. Apparently, the world’s growing access to digital information is seeing storage needs growing dramatically in every area, from humble personal computers, to network enterprise storage - In 2005, data stored on disk arrays grew more than 70%. So if your MP3 collection is getting unwieldy, or you have another burgeoning digital archive you just positively need access to at all times, here’s the answer - the world’s largest storage array. Announced last week by information management and storage specialist EMC Corporation, is a new high-end configuration its flagship EMC Symmetrix DMX-3 storage array, which can scale beyond a petabyte (1,024 terabytes) of capacity. That's it at right - what a ripper heh? Read More
