Sony RDX-HX1080 and RDX-HX1090 Hard Disk
Recorders

post from Ubergizmo on 23 April 2008 03:03:31 PM. © Ubergizmo

Sony is coming up with two new hard-disk (HDD) video recorders named RDX-HX1080 and RDX-HX1090. They both have 500GB of storage space, which the company claims can store up to 1420 hours (of Standard Definition TV recording). They have an integrated DVB-T Tuner (digital broadcasting not used in the U.S) but the 1090 model also has a “normal” analog TV Tuner. Both offer 1080p up-scaling (magnification), but do not record in 1080p (just to be clear). If you own a recent Sony camcorder, you can connect it to the recorder for direct video transfer.

When Pants and Keyboard Fuse

post from Ubergizmo on 23 April 2008 02:17:15 PM. © Ubergizmo

Created by Designer Erik De Nijs, these pants with integrated keyboard are only for the outdoor geek that roam around the city, texting or coding in the most unexpected place. With them, you don’t have to worry about the keyboard slipping from your lap and your hands can rest very naturally on your lap keyboard. Accessories have not been forgotten: there are speakers on the knees and a Joystick located just behind the front zipper, which might attract unwanted attention while playing an arcade classic…

Dealing with a cold (man flu my partner calls it) is not the sort of virus I was planning to write about in a technology review but it has that knack of impacting on most aspects of every day life especially as it dulls the reflexes somewhat. This is what happened when I heard about [...]

ALCATEL launch phones, I'd rather chat about
Gavin and Stacey

post from Shiny Shiny on 23 April 2008 01:00:00 PM. © Shiny Shiny

Shouty ALCATEL have launched three new candybar phones today, the OT-S120, OT-S210 and OT-S21. One's got a slightly smaller screen. I believe it's the 120. They've all got FM radios, 5 hours talk time and 400 hours of standby. At this point, I've started to realise that they probably weren't really worth a whole post. More of a footnote, really.

Profy: the New Web Platform for Bloggers- beta
launch

[Web 2.0] The Profy platform - in closed alpha since January 2008 - is announcing its beta launch at Web 2.0. According to the press release (I did not try the alpha), the blogging process ? news reading, writing and publishing, managing comments, communication with readers and other bloggers - is made easier with the Ajax based Profy tools. In addition, Profy provides a more social blogging experience by allowing users to find people with the same interests, share ideas and discover new sources of information. I will meet the Profy team today at their booth to get more information about this new publishing tool.
