Cutting the cord seems to be the big theme for the past few years. The technology driving this movement has been Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the latter of which has had a lot of success in the mobile device accessories market. It has gained even more interest as media playing abilities have been incorporated into the mobile phone. The only question is, what about bringing some cordless capabilities to the computer? Callpod is doing just that with its new device called “The Drone.” It connects via a USB port and brings the convenience of Bluetooth to your computer for your music enjoyment. The device will work with all Bluetooth headsets and headphones and will control all PC music players, including iTunes and Windows Media Player.

Who says GPS navigation devices have to be so boring? Certainly not iriver. Far from being another run-of-the-mill widescreen equipped color screen GPS device, the iriver NV Life adds a DMB TV Tuner, FM transmitter, supports SD cards up to 4GB and a widescreen touch-sensitive WVGA LCD display to its impressive set of features. And with that being said, not only does using this device become so simple and easy, it becomes fun as well. The iriver NV Life will come in either 2GB or 4GB variants and will have a direct connection of security with A/S service. This means that when a stolen unit is taken to an A/S service center for “repairs” the rightful owners will be immediately notified.

Posted Mar 27th 2008 12:42PM by Donald MelansonFiled under: Displays It’s been a little while since we caught sight of Kodak’s last batch of digital photo frames, but the company’s now come back for another go ’round with a trio of new EasyShare frames, each of which pack Kodak’s newfangled “Quick Touch” borders. That feature lets you scroll though photos simply by sliding your finger along the border, as well as giving you control over all the frame’s other functions via the interface pictured above. Apart from that, the frames appear to be pretty standard fare, with the M820 and M1020 models boasting 8 and 10-inch screens, respectively, along with the usual audio and video support, 128MB of built-in memory, and accommodations for all the most used memory card formats.

If you’re like me, you’ve probably acquired a massive amount of old gadgets and computer parts. There are times where I have to just close my eyes and start throwing stuff out because I need the closet space. For some reason I always think that I’ll get around to finding a use for that old Pentium II or 8x CD burner. While I probably won’t actually use them, someone has figured out a good use for old optical drives. Just turn them into clocks. Just from looking at this I would guess that they’ve simply removed the casing of an old CD drive, popped a CD in the microwave for a bit and then used a DIY clock kit. While it was likely a simple process, the end result does look pretty cool. (Read the full post about ‘Cool Clock recycles old computer gear’…)

Sanyo has thrusted its PLC-XW60 XGA LCD projector into the limelight, touting it to be the smallest and lightest XGA LCD projector in the market at this point in time. In fact, it is so tiny that it can be carried around in one hand without straining your back muscles - a far cry from the LCD projectors of old that required you to have the strength level of the Hulk in order to lug it around. The PLC-XW60 tips the scales at a mere 3.6 lbs and comes with a whole host of features such as automatic keystone correction, automatic input signal detection, an adjustable color mode for projecting on different surface colors, and an easy-off function that allows users to pull the plug and store the projector without waiting for a cool-down cycle.

Posted Mar 27th 2008 11:10AM by Paul MillerFiled under: cellphonesWhile we first got wind of a EDGE Evolution rollout from Ericsson, Nokia Siemens isn’t about to let one of those young upstart carrier equipment manufacturers steal its top-of-the-heap EDGE thunder, and has just announced the “launch” of its Dual Carrier EDGE software solution, marking the first steps of rolling out EDGE Evolution to the company’s radio portfolio. The software upgrade doubles current EDGE speeds to 592kbps, and will be available from Q3 2008 onwards. Nokia Siemens won’t stop there, though, EDGE is going to get another bump not too long after that to EGPRS 2, with download speeds of 1.2Mbps and uplink speeds up to 473kpbs.

Lost? You still own a map? This week the geeks take on GPS devices. First there is an HP versus Navigon shootout and then coverage of something called the GyPSii, with more on the way. March 21st - March 27th Make the MoveFirst up is a business white paper for users of Linux operating systems which explains in detail how to Make the Move to SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop. You’ve heard the buzz about SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10, and maybe even seen a demonstration, but you’re still hesitant to migrate.

Posted Mar 27th 2008 5:45AM by Thomas RickerFiled under: Desktops, Gaming Today’s benchmark day for AMD’s fastest desktop processor — the Phenom X4 9850. Free of the nasty TLB (Translation Lookaside Buffer) bug, the stage is now set for a head-to-head with Intel’s best. While it’s a significant step forward for AMD, the 9850 proc hardly compares with Intel’s best quad-core desktop CPUs. Nevertheless, as PCPer says, “any enthusiast or gamer looking for a ~$240 processor is going to have a fantastic experience with the 9850.” We’re just happy to see AMD back on track and ready to compete. Now get to it AMD, faster clock speeds and 45-nm processes please? (Read the full post about ‘AMD’s fastest Phenom X4 9850 desktop CPU tested, Intel points and giggles like brat’…)

An 81-year-old Australian man relied on a do-it-yourself robotic “suicide booth” to end his life. The Internet was instrumental to this, as he managed to download basic plans for such a machine online, constructing a robot which could shoot a .22 semi-automatic pistol from a distance. Hence, he aligned himself to the gun and the robot “pulled” the trigger. This sad end could have been avoided if he sought help online instead of ways of ending his life, eh?
