Polaroid PoGo camera: soon available - instantly!

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

People are still lamenting the passing of Polaroid Instant Film into history, but thanks to technology featured in its tiny Polaroid PoGo Instant Mobile Printer launched in 2008, the company is offering a new shoot-and-print option: the Polaroid PoGo Instant Digital Camera. And despite its parent company’s woes, Polaroid has no intention of curtailing product plans in 2009.
Plans for a 21st century Polaroid camera were announced in August 2008, but the product itself was announced at CES 2009.
The camera, which has a certain retro boxiness to it, is pretty big in comparison to most point-and-shoots with its camera specs. The 7-megapixel camera/printer measures 4.7 inches wide by 3 inches high by 1.3 inches deep and weighs 10 ounces–without paper, battery, or SD card. Keep in mind though: the original instant-print cameras didn’t fit in a coat pocket, but this one does.
There’s a 3-inch LCD on back and controls are simple. The only disappointment is the lack of an optical zoom, likely due to space constraints (there’s a 4X digital zoom, though).
The camera uses Polaroid’s Zink (zero ink) 2-by-3-inch paper. The LCD simply pops up, you insert a deck of 10 sheets, and you’re ready to go. Shoot something you want to print? Hit the Print button on back, pick the photo, and press OK. In less than a minute you have a print.

MacBook Pro 17 unibody: huge, powerful and… available!

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

Have you been to Mars when Apple early this January announced the new MacBook Pro 17 unibody?
Time to refresh your memory, since it’s now available!

At first glance, you could easily mistake the new 17-inch MacBook Pro for its predecessor, the legendary 17-inch PowerBook G4 ( ; January 2006 ). The new model has roughly the same dimensions—at 15.4-by-10.4-by-1.0 inches and 6.8 pounds, it’s a shade wider, but a tenth of a pound lighter—and it retains the familiar aluminum enclosure and sleek design.

Inside, however, the new top-of-the-line Apple laptop incorporates not only a completely different processor, but a slew of other changes you should consider before deciding whether—or when—this is a machine for you. (you should…)

The MacBook Pro 17″ desktop replacement of Apple can also be classified as a multimedia notebook, because of its 3.1 kg and only 2.59 cm height.

Feature list at a glance:

Built-in lithium-polymer battery. Up to 8 hours of wireless productivity.

NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT discrete graphics processor and NVIDIA GeForce 9400M integrated graphics processor; 512MB of GDDR3 memory

320GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard drive

4GB of 1066MHz DDR3 memory; two SO-DIMM slots support up to 8GB

SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)

Double heart and double brain - 2 processors convince with the MacBook Pro 17 inch. The outstanding workmanship, the good battery runtime in MacOS X and the competitionless small weight for 17 inch notebook even allow a mobile usage. The disadvantage is a large heat development, like already with 15 the inch notebook.

According the performance the flat 17 inch racer exceeds the 15 inch notebook somewhat and does not show any performance weaknesses.

So? What are you waiting for?

Wake up! Wake up! iLuv iMM173 Alarm Clock and Dual Dock for iPod and iPhone 3G

Monday, January 19th, 2009

With the iLuv iMM173 alarm clock and dual dock for iPod and iPhone, you can charge your iPod and iPhone while you’re sleeping and wake up to your favorite FM station or tunes from your iPod or iPhone. Featuring two integrated docks, an FM tuner, a large and easy-to-read display, and powerful built-in speakers, this unique bedside alarm clock lets you choose how you wake up every morning while making sure your iPod and iPhone are fully charged for the day.

The iLuv iMM173 features two integrated docks that give you the option of charging up to two iPods and/or iPhones. Do this while you’re sleeping, and when it’s time to wake up, not only will your devices be fully charged, but you also can wake up to your favorite tunes.

And thanks to the system’s powerful built-in speakers and jAura acoustic speaker technology, you’ll get sound with depth and clarity that belies its small size, making this bedside clock ideal for the kitchen or other room in your house as well. Note: iPhones can be charged on both docks, but only one will be fully compatible while the other will show “airplane mode.”

If you’d like to listen to the news, weather, or the latest radio hits, the iLuv iMM173’s built-in FM radio uses PLL digital tuning technology to ensure crystal-clear reception. The radio offers eight programmable presets, so your favorite stations are only a button-push away.

Or, connect another source–like the iPod shuffle, portable CD players, or other MP3 players–using the auxiliary line input. A remote control lets you operate the iLuv iMM173 from across the room, and a handy magnet on the back of the unit holds the remote when not in use.

The iLuv iMM173 features a large easy-to-read LCD with a 10-level dimmer that lets you turn down the brightness at night when it’s time to sleep. The time is easy to set, and a simple switch lets you change between standard and daylight savings time.

Dual alarm clocks, which offer the options of waking up to a buzzer, FM radio, or your iPod or iPhone tunes, ensure that your bedmate also wakes up on time. The iLuv iMM173 also offers a sleep option that lets you fall asleep to the radio or your iPod/iPhone. Plus, the alarm clock has treble and bass controls.

Price, about US$ 92.

What’s better than ONE iPod dock? A DUAL iPod Dock! Meet JVC NXPN7 with Dual iPod and iPhone Dock

Sunday, January 18th, 2009

There’s a saying that 2 is better than 1. When 2 can get together it’s special. The new JVC NXPN7 clock radio is very special. It accommodates two iPod players side-by side with its integrated dual-dock technology, charging them simultaneously and offering playback from each through the dock’s speaker system.
Supplementing iPod playback is an AM/FM tuner, and adding to the unit’s versatility is a clock and timer. In addition, there’s an analog audio input for connecting other devices for playback.
Though the JVC NXPN7 handles two iPod players, it measures a mere 13 inches wide and will fit almost everywhere.
It features sleek and sophisticated styling, with a black cabinet and speaker grille, and controls arrayed clearly and logically in a band along the bottom. Adding a bit of flair are two illuminated strips, one under each docked iPod.
These can display one of nine colors - including white, blue, red and others. The included remote control features dedicated iPod control keys that simulate the iPod control wheel layout, so users are able to easily shuffle, repeat, scroll and select songs from the iPod menu. Back illuminated LCD Analog audio input lets you add other MP3 players if you don’t have an iPod Remote Control (also controls iPod when docked)

In the end: dual dock, great sound, nice look and lots of features!
Price? $99.99 (just one time, not two!).
