Samsung TruDirect SE-S204S disc drive

Samsung has released its new optical disc drive known as TruDirect SE-S204S, enabling consumers to create DVDs as well as burn digital content through a PC minus the need for a hard drive. This sounds like the perfect accessory to have for those who want to create DVDs in record time from virtually any digital video device. Since it doesn't rely on any hard drive, the TruDirect SE-S204S does not have to deal with pre-mastering, multiplexing or hard-disk buffering, dramatically cutting down the time required to create a DVD. For example, it takes only an hour andfive minutes to create a one-hour video stream on a DVD, while an hour hard drive camcorder file requires just 30 minutes to create a DVD. Other features include 20X DVD+R and DVD-R writing, 16X DVD+R Dual Layer writing, 12X DVD-R Dual Layer writing and 12X DVD-RAM writing. The Samsung TruDirect SE-S204S will retail for $159.99.

Amazon Kindle confirmed

post from Ubergizmo on 18 November 2007 11:54:50 PM. © Ubergizmo

Amazon Kindle confirmed The Amazon Kindle is no vaporware as confirmed by Newsweek's cover story, and from there we've also discovered the Kindle will retail for $399 and come with a 6" E-ink display and EV-DO "Whispernet" on Sprint for anytime, anywhere book purchases. Books will retail for $9.99 a pop, and there will be plans for users to subscribe to papers as well as "selected blogs" for an undisclosed monthly fee. There won't be any backlight with the Amazon Kindle though - so you can forget about reading in the ark. Word has it that the Kindle will come with a 30 hour battery life, taking a mere two hours to recharge. Would you pick this up at that price point?

Wireless USB CardBus in Japan

post from Ubergizmo on 18 November 2007 11:53:35 PM. © Ubergizmo

Wireless USB CardBus in Japan Japanese will soon be able to get their hands on the Rex-WUSB1 Wireless USB CardBus card that has been specially manufactured to operate between the 3.6GHz and 3.8GHz waveband. Unfortunately, this wait might seem to be agonizingly long for those waiting to take advantage of wireless USB over an ExpressCard slot since the ExpressCard model will be released only next year - approximately the same time that PC manufacturers will begin churning out WUSB-integrated notebooks. Wireless USB - will it be too late as USB 3.0 rolls out next year?

Shopping carts get text displays

Shopping carts get text displays

Modstream aims to bring advertising to a whole new level by introducing shopping carts which come with scrolling text displays on the handles itself, allowing advertisers to beam messages to selected stores sans wires. I suppose the messages will change each time you walk through different aisles, tempting you to purchase goods that aren't even on your shopping list to begin with. No idea on when such shopping carts will be used, but that time would require you to be more disciplined than ever when it comes to purchasing items.

Sega Genesis gets portable

Sega Genesis gets portable

While the Sega Nomad was the official portable Sega Genesis, it didn't really take off in the market no thanks to the Game Boy's dominance in the arena along with problems such as short battery life (sounds like the Game Gear, eh?). Tec Toy has come up with a gaming portable media player that retails for approximately $100. Powered by AAA batteries, you get Sonic 2 in addition to 20 classic Sega games pre-loaded - unfortunately, there is no way on changing the game roster in there which is a major drawback. After all, by forking out slightly more, I can pick up a DS Lite or even a Sony PSP that have far more engaging games.

Maya Single media apparatus

Maya Single media apparatus

The Maya Single chair looks totally out of this world, but would be great for those who find solace in the bottle, only to grapple with the worst of headaches the next monrning. This architecturally designed chair comes with specially placed 60-watt speakers, a subwoofer as well as a choice between a 32" or 26" screen that hangs off an overhead hanging metal arm that has been accented with natural wood tream. Unfortunately, it doesn't really fully recline so you might want to sleep off the effects of a wild night out on your bed instead.

You won't be able to send or receive text messages with this, but at least it adds a dash of class to your living room while letting everyone else know just how much of a love you have when it comes to classic cars. Features include a redial button, modular plugs, a horn ringer, and the option to choose between tone and pulse.
