This is Motorola’s hail mary and its first entry into the Google OS game with a fully loaded phone with a capacitive touch-screen, 3.5mm headphone jack, full qwerty and Android 1.5 aka Cupcake. Its not evolutionary like the RAZR but its a positive step towards re-cooperating some of the ground they have lost while Apple ran away with all their trophies. Check out Engadget for a thorough review of the Motorola CLIQ.

HP Bites The Apple

Actually its not just a straight rip they have done something that I’ve wished Apple had done already. Construction is similar to the Unibody Macbook Pros but its Magnesium coated with aluminium so it should in theory be lighter and stonger. Offered in 13 inch and 15 inch sizes, which should be competitively priced against the equivalent MacBooks.

  1. No CD Drive – Have you heard of a USB key? Its better for the environment. Saves weight and battery life. If you really need one check after the jump.
  2. Second low profile battery – Doubles the battery life, this is something Toshiba has offered for years. It just attaches to the bottom doesn’t protrude out the sides.

Kind of a big deal…

Now and then there’s something you read and think “Wow… this could change the world forever”. For me, the idea of solar roadways is one of those very things.

Think about it… Main roads that can produce power to light themselves (have LED lines and dynamic warnings to indicate crashes ahead) as well as being able to put power into the grid. If every road was generating power just from catching sun light we’d free ourselves from using non-renewable energy.

The main problem obviously is practicality, and how safe these would be for our current vehicles. Then there would be the problems of actually being able to get funding to properly develop this technology, and dealing with vandalism (which one would think with this idiotic species would be a big problem).

Innovations like this excite me, but at the same time annoy me when I realise that the chances of this ever actually being supported the amount it needs to be is very low. To read more check out Inhabitat.

Samsung_DualView_TL220_TL225_1-540x404First one makes you think “Why didn’t I think of this!”, you can bet every camera manufacturer to jump on this band wagon soon enough, this model is the Samsung DualView TL225. The front facing screen vanishes into the body when its not in use, just brilliant. I’ve got a Samsung camera and will say they take brilliant  photos.

sony-party-shotSecond is the “Sony Party Shot”, its a robot tripod that can spin 360 degrees and tilt upwards and downwards and takes shots with techno-wizardry such as face detection and smile detection. Quiet a nifty little piece of technology to capture those parties and family gatherings.
