Microsoft LifeCam VX-2000


In the hands of Microsoft comes a new webcam for video-oriented with an average quality and thanks to its VGA sensor or the ability to take pictures at a resolution of 1.3 megapixels. I speak specifically of the Microsoft LifeCam VX-2000, a webcam that will be available in stores on June 1 next to a price of 29.90 euros.

Perhaps price may seem a little excessive given their characteristics, but has something more, it incorporates LifeCam Dashboard, an application that will allow us to give our personal touch to the videos that she recorded with the three-dimensional images, apply color filters, facial expressions, etc.. To this we must add its integrated microphone so we can make video calls without even using a headset for this purpose.

It should be noted, also, which is lit with just one click in few seconds or so of self-adjustment system to ensure good lighting when we find ourselves in low light environments. All this has one of the best quality - price ... and if you simply want to use Windows Live Messenger, is optimized for use with Windows Live VideoMessages service that do not know if anyone out due to record and send video messages both family and friends so that they can see when they connect.

Mpnavi Tomato Slimtouch, media player with touchscreen

Although it has a name, why deny it, somewhat rare, the fact is that this is a Mpnavi Tomato Slimtouch media player attractive enough not only for its design, so similar to the iPhone from Apple (like almost everything that hits the market, a advantage of being the first to prensetarlo) but also for its benefits among them his 3-inch touchscreen ultra which goes on sale in the Korean market.

In the design, it will have a thickness of just 10mm making it ideal for carrying in your pocket comfortably protected with a sleeve. It has an internal memory of 2, 4 or 8 GB depending on the model you choose. In its internal memory can store multiple audio and video formats including RM, RMVB, AVI, FLV, WMV, MPEG1 and MPEG4.

Unfortunately, as often happens in many cases, the device will only be available in the Korean market and will do so from a price of 60 euros, which is what the model is less internal memory.

Samsung U5

Another of the novelties presented by Samsung this week is that of an MP3 player that will sell in the Korean market and under the name Samsung U5. This is an MP3 player is somewhat unusual and that is especially geared to people who do sports since it has a function that lets us know how many calories we burn when we exercise.

With regard to the characteristics of the MP3 does not have video playback, more than understandable if we consider as just a 1-inch OLED screen. This is quite positive as it will lengthen your battery's autonomy as it offers a range of up to 20 hours music playback. Among the prominent role of the AB repeat that we can choose when putting the "study" in MP3.

It has DNSe 3.0 technology that improves the sound, FM tuner radio, 2 GB of internal memory and can use it if necessary pendrive because it connects to the computer without the need to bring cable to the USB connector integrated .

Play the NES on either side


A lagrimilla nostalgia invades me to see the Mini Handheld Retro NES System, remembering those afternoons spent with the Nintendo console, trying to rescue the princess from the clutches of Bowser and leaving me your fingers in the remote corners of the square.

Certainly, this console is not the height of comfort, because used cartridges from the original NES, which were not exactly small, but for many, the nostalgia is stronger than such insignificant details.

The Retro Mini Handheld System NES has a 2.4 inch screen and features audio and video outputs to play well on TV, running on four AA batteries which provide a range of 8 hours of operation.

Certainly there are other options to enjoy the old games from the NES, but I particularly like. Pity that the price of the console, $ 50, and what will cost us to find original games will not be a luxury for less.

Panasonic low price of 103-inch TV

The economic crisis continues to affect all this time I touch a Panasonic that had to reduce the price of his amazing 103-inch plasma TV.

Being an exclusive and eccentric, that few can buy it, Panasonic was forced to reduce the price of this, no more and no less than $ 20,000, so the price remains at $ 50,000. With this reduction this TV have a greater expected output in the market, but looking at things right, this monster TV yet is priced quite high.

A new worm for Mac OS X and would circulate


It is now circulating a new worm for Mac OS X called Tored this spreads through email and calendar. Tored opens a backdoor into the system so that it can be controlled remotely, also incorporates a keylogger that can record information such as our passwords.

Microsoft xYz, is real or just speculation?

Having confirmed that the rumors about a Zune in June were not real, they play new round of leaks on a Microsoft product which, if real, is intended to make with your mouth open to users and move the hand to the face by his rivals .

Well, actually rivals is unlikely to have, because it is an innovative project. It would be a portable entertainment device, in which both concepts mixed Zune and Xbox, hence his code name, Microsoft xYz.

The sources that have filtered it out as a Sony Mylo together with a PSP and an iPod touch. Would not, therefore, functions of mobile phone, and it is something that Microsoft has denied many times by active and passive: they do not think make their own phone.

The Microsoft xYz have a touch screen with resolution of 800 × 480 pixels and features not found in any other device on the market. It is almost certain to come equipped with the Nvidia Tegra platform, but since TeamXbox speculate further with WiMax connectivity.

Bearing in mind that you are connected to the network is one of its core and does not have 3G connectivity, the WiMax would be one of the few options remaining, but the limited deployment of this technology makes it a little strange that Microsoft bet by it.

The connectivity of which we speak will integrate with many Microsoft services, such as the various products offered under Live. We may also acquire content with other devices and display it. Imagine buying a video or a song from the Xbox 360 and also in viewing Microsoft xYz.

The integration with Xbox 360 would be another of its strengths, as would use the NXE interface that makes it has not incorporated this console, as well as being compatible with Xbox Live Arcade, which would allow us to play the games on this platform.

Sounds strange? Certainly, but do not discard it, because Microsoft still does not offer its own portable console (although this device is not going to stay pure in this) and the platform would give Zune media player as many points. Look forward to more news.

Built with Intel components CULVER (Consumer Ultra Low Voltage), a set of chips for laptops economic. Without a doubt, the MSI 400 X-Slim 14-inch could become a direct competitor to Apple's MacBook Air.

We will have to wait to see if MSI is any official specification sheet.

The Acer Aspire 3935 came to Latin America


For many the joy of Acer Aspire 3935 is now available in Latin America. This 13.3-inch laptop comes in a very striking golden brown, although some seem bronze, the keys have a bright and pearly FineTip are implemented with technology that allows writing easier thanks to larger keys and separate a little more conventional.

Portable Studio3D i7, Core i7 and GTX 280



Mountain of the hands of the information we bring you one of the most powerful laptops on the market today, called Mountain Studio3D i7. Although fall within the definition of portable, transportable, more than anything else.

Hard starts Intel Core i7 processor and Nvidia graphics GTX 280m, two of the solutions with higher performance on the market today. As for the 280m GTX NVidia is a device aimed at laptops, but the i7 Core i7 used in this Studio3D are the same as those of desktops, as the disposal of laptop models and is expected in the face after the summer.

I7 bring to the course we also have the use of DDR3 memory with up to 3 windows for three modules that allow up to 6 GB in total, at a frequency of up to 1333 MHz The screen is, of course, of 17.1 inches with a resolution of 1920 × 1200 points, thanks to the dedicated graphics (with 1 GB of GDDR3 memory) offers DVI and HDMI outputs.

I leave you with a list of the main specifications:

* Intel Core i7, to choose between any of the three current models (920, 840 and 965 Extreme).
* GTX280M Nvidia graphics with 1GB GDDR3.
* 17.1-inch screen resolution of 1920 × 1200 points.
* Ability to install up to three internal hard drives of 2.5 inches each.
* Reader / DVD burner, with the option to install a Blu-Ray.
* 12-cell battery with an autonomy of up to 60 minutes.
* 56K Modem, Ethernet network of up to 1 Gbps. and WiFi 802.11a/g/n.
* Dimensions of 397 × 298 × 60 millimeters, 5.4 kilograms.

* Windows Vista 32 or 64 bits.

Of course I draw particular attention to the battery of 12 cells and only one hours of autonomy, and that it is enough if we consider that this team will be around 200 or 250 watts of power. I would say even with normal use of equipment to have just half an hour.

Is a device aimed at a very professional, or nearly exclusively to video games. It will be necessary to have it plugged in almost continuously, so that we will lose that independence can give a laptop, but gain the possibility of transporting a lot easier than a desktop.

About the chip, I have already commented that this is not the portable version of the Intel Core i7, but is the same processor but desktop installed on a laptop.

Mountain Studio3D i7 expected to launch this in early June, for a price starting at EUR 1995 EUR (VAT excluded) for the simplest configuration, but quite powerful and advanced i7 920 with a 2.66 GHz, 6 GB memory DDR3 RAM and 320 GB capacity.

Interesting COOL-ER, adds a dash of color

The eBook is in fashion. And today, in addition, Zaapa, we have to talk about another model that will soon be available in Europe. COOL is the interest-ER, which is to be distinguished by price and design.

Well, by the side of the design can be distinguished from other models of e-book readers, but does so much closer to the design of the iPod nano, not only by the shape of the casing, but also because it is available in eight different colors.

Like many models, the interest COOL-ER has a display of electronic ink, 6 inches and includes a total of 1 GB of storage space to save your files, being compatible with JPG, PDF, and TXT Epub, plus MP3. It is therefore a bit short in terms of compatible formats.
If we upload more content we will connected to the computer through its USB port or SD card, supporting up to 4 additional GB. It will be easily transportable, because its weight is only 178 grams, while autonomy is 8000 pages.

Inter COOL-ER is available for sale from June through its website, and the price is 225 euros. They have, moreover, an electronic book store offering discounts to the holders of this device.

HDMI 1.4 adds Ethernet and video to audio


They say the great thing about standards is that there are many to choose from. In any case, if there are not many there is always the option to make them move quickly to incorporate new features. If only the new ones are backwards compatible we can not complain too much.

It is what gives us a little afraid of HDMI 1.4, the new specification for these cables, because it includes the possibility of using a new 19-pin connector smaller than the current one. We'll see if manufacturers take it, although it would be logical to do so only on portable devices like video cameras.

But the point which I think is most interesting is the incorporation of HDMI 1.4 to Ethernet. So far these cables allow the transport of information from video and audio, but the new version adds the ability to carry data. Imagine that our TV is connected to the Internet, either through Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Because the other devices connected to it, for example the console, to share the connection through the HDMI cable.

Another novelty is the incorporation of a back channel audio, so that this can be sent in both directions, eg from the TV to an amplifier. Moreover, the limit is increased to allow transmission of higher quality content, with support for resolutions up to 4096 × 2160 pixels at 30 Hz and 3D support.

It is expected that the first chips compatible with HDMI 1.4 are available during the second quarter of this year and the first products to incorporate them come from next year.

The default number of decimal places in the 3 but you need to choose. And so it is easy Converticious.

ColorQube: the solid ink printer

This printer is a Xerox multifunction traditional (print, faxing, photocopying, scanning) which makes it different is that it belongs to the line Xerox Color Printer series Qube 9200, known as solid ink printers or phase change.

These new printers promise to reduce the cost of color printing in up to 62% compared to laser printers. Solid ink technology was acquired by Xerox in 2001 the company Teltronix in the amount of $ 925 million and was apparently a very good investment.

For now, these printers are aimed at universities and companies that already have a cost of $ 23,000, but as with laser printers, it will be a matter of time before we can have one at home.

Philips LightFrame reduces eyestrain

Philips has significant experience in working with light for various functions, not only for lighting. As an example, Philips GoLite Blu uses blue light to raise our spirits, while the part of the Philips Ambilight TVs.

Mixing these two concepts, launching the Philips LightFrame, a computer monitor that reduces eye strain by a blue light that is emitted through the casing of the monitor. This light improves concentration and makes the user feel less tired and more active.

Now, thanks to information from within the company, seems to be confirmed in June that the date on changes, very anticipated Zune player or universe, because it is clear that no one knows if we expect a new portable music player with touch screen, a phone that competes with the iPhone or the integration of Windows Mobile definitely Zune.

The last thing we know is that the release would involve a new product that would come alone or accompanied by improved services or new components around the player, maybe the phone.

June will therefore be a key date in consumer electronics, with key events and a good time to introduce new products and position itself for the second half of the year.

Acer DX900

Acer already has a number of ready models introduced during the Mobile World Congress, so we're going to review some of them, starting with the Acer DX900, which is remarkable for a terminal with two SIM card slots, and Windows Mobile.

This allows us to use two lines at the same time without having to carry two phones on it, so we can have our personal and online business in the same terminal, or, if you travel a lot overseas, and our usual SIM to make calls within the country where we are.

However, keep in mind that the two SIMs that are installed on the mobile, only one will have 3G connectivity, compatible with HSDPA, while the other stays alone with GSM. In most cases this will not be big problem, but better check.
Looking at the physical features of the Acer DX900 we have a mid-range phone, which is not notable in any of paragraphs, but comes fairly balanced. Thus, we find, for example, with a 2.8 inch screen with 640 × 480 pixels, just a little today.

And it is normal to see that the majority of terminals that come with Windows Mobile now do so with larger screens and with resolution of 800 × 480 pixels. In the remaining specifications also maintains that average, with a 533 MHz processor and 128 MB of RAM.

For storage, Acer DX900 depends on external memory cards, because in it there are only 256 MB capacity. The MicroSD slot will allow us to increase that amount. On the side of the camera have better news, with a 3 megapixel resolution and auto focus.
Finally, it also has accelerometer, light sensor and a GPS receiver that will allow us to use it as a browser. Obviously, you can use two SIM cards quite an impact on the autonomy of the phone, which comes with a battery of 1530 mAh.

This allows you to offer up to 5 hours talk and standby time of up to 150 hours.

Acer DX900 interface has been properly refined by the manufacturer to make it easier to use than that comes with Windows Mobile 6.1. Despite that, we would have liked to announce his support for future update of Windows Mobile 6.5, but this seems unlikely.

The phone is available in the America market and, as is usual in Acer, noted for having a fairly tight price for the offerings.
