Mini-HDMI connector is already in development


It seems that, thanks in part to the TV, the HDMI connection starts to be a big gap between the public, to the detriment of other connections such as high definition DisplayPort. The next step is a miniature HD connections, something that has already DisplayPort to Mini-Displayport (available on the latest Apple computers) but who are not having much acceptance. In fact, most are opting for laptops HDMI connections, despite being larger.

Mini-HDMI connectors are on the way, but for now seems to continue to develop and we do not yet have the final version .. In the table you see above, the standard HDMI connector, the current is known as Type A, while the Mini-HDMI is the Type-D. As you can see the size difference is very significant in size and round to MicroUSB, widely used in mobile phones. Does this mean that we can have this mobile with Mini-HDMI?

As for comparisons with the Mini DisplayPort, Mini-HDMI is somewhat smaller (6.4 × 2.8 mini-HDMI compared to about 11 × 8 mm from the Mini DisplayPort). We will have to be attentive to the technical end in a few months and compare with the Mini DisplayPort, which for example offers resolutions up to 2560 × 1600 pixels.

In principle HDMI has a slight advantage over other standards, as is currently used mostly and that's always important, but do not forget that in the end will be the manufacturers to decide what connection implement in their devices .

T-Mobile G1 v2, an evolution of the Dream


Now that I have a few days testing the HTC Dream, one of the biggest hit is that it is by design, the keyboard is difficult to access with your right hand, to disturb the bottom of the phone.

But a review of this phone seems to solve the problem. The T-Mobile G1 v2, code name of Bigfoot, the design changes, going to have the entire front movable, so we are no longer the bottom is hampering access to the keyboard.

Currently there are no official specifications of the T-Mobile G1 v2, so it is unknown whether the current model will improve or simply change the external appearance. If you like Magic, but unless you missed a physical keyboard, this will be an interesting option.

In United States is expected to be put on sale from October, evidently with the operator T-Mobile, so this may take a little longer to reach, although the first picture is very good looking and makes us want to be able prove soon.

JetFlash V30 with widgets inside


Have applications in a fully functional USB memory with the capacity that they are reaching a very low price is something we should ask ourselves. The latest USB memory from Transcend, the 8GB JetFlash V30 comes with a mini-series in it ready to use. Live inside of that has been responsible eSobi.

The union and Transcend JetFlash eSobi in memory is summarized in the integration of an RSS reader, a metasearch and library, all on the same interface. However, the software is functional and free for the first 90 days, which is not gold that glitters. Whenever we can install ourselves different suites created for notebooks and USB sticks.

Samsung BD-P4600, Blu-Ray player of the highest design


For exquisite rooms. The Samsung BD-P4600 player is a Blu-Ray high-design, for true connoisseurs.

Because of its great design, the BD-P4600 can be hung on the wall is loaded by a lateral and offers, for example, BD Profile 2.0 HDMI and component outputs, as well as Ethernet and WiFi connectivity, and compatibility with services like Netflix and formats as DivX, but nothing matrovska.

Samsung BD-P4600

The price is at $ 500, although it may seem expensive, in reality it is not taking into account its great design. If what you are looking for is just a HD player that works, there are much better deals for prices much more affordable, but not so beautiful or that look as good.

CNet has made in an analysis which shows that, although it is a good product for most users, there are other alternatives to Samsung's own that are more interesting. I would in fact lack the HDCP compatibility and a bit of internal memory, which incorporates only 1 GB.

Microsoft Tags The images are integrated into


Although Microsoft showed us where their High Capacity Color Bar Code, it appeared that these were to be compared with future too QR-Code, has gradually been improving and some obvious advantages to their rivals.

And the truth is that the design of the QR-Code means that these are not too attractive to the naked eye, while the recent examples of Microsoft Tags, the name you have renamed, shows their potential for integration in various products.

These codes can be integrated with color images to make them more visually appealing, even to the point where the code is impossible to assess at first glance to virtually merge with the image.

¿Microsoft replace the tags for the QR-Code? It seems difficult to be a proprietary technology, but Microsoft and is included in some of their physical products and offers readers various phones as tools to create these codes easily.

Traveler Clickfree backup to a disk the size of a credit card


Personally, the backup or backups I like are in the so-called 'cloud' on the Internet because they are accessible from any computer and place on the sole condition of having a connection to the network. However, we also recognize that devices like Clickfree Traveler are much faster, and easier close.

The Clickfree Traveler is a kind of external hard drive, the size of a credit card, which connects to the computer via the USB port. Offers a special software that backs up the entire disc and then through another device called ClickFree DVD Transformer, that copy can be recorded to optical discs, DVDs and CDs. Transformer The DVD also works individually, recording the backup directly from your computer's hard drive and without the Traveler.

The Clickfree Traveler is sold in three models, 16, 32 and 64 GB capacity for prices ranging from 80 to $ 250. It may be expensive, because for just under $ 100 can buy an external hard drive 1TB of capacity and use free software backup, though obviously lose Traveler size and design of a device so appealing.

As for the Transformer DVD Clickfree, the price is $ 40. Both devices are already being sold in United States, although we still do not know the launch date to the rest of the world.
