Why switch to Vista if Windows 7 comes already in 2010

vptizin — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 10:01:15 GMT

It was interesting to read some new speculations about the upcoming release of Internet Explorer 8.

It was even more interesting to learn that IE9 might come around 2010 along with new version of Windows (Windows 7 for that matter). I don't know what to think, I still might be using XP by that time and be happy with it.

HTC 4 PDA

vptizin — Sun, 10 Sep 2006 18:01:01 GMT

The taiwanese manufacturer HTC goes further ahead with new products under its own brand name. On September 7 they unveiled four new Windows Mobile smartphones:

s310 ("Oxygen") ===> quad band GPRS
s620 ("Excalibur") ===> quad band GPRS/EDGE, WiFi and Bluetooth
P3300 ("Artemis") ===> with GPS adapter and TomTom navigation software

P3600 ("Trinity") ===> supports UMTS and HSDPA

Just as previous HTC models, these new devices will sure get a lot of consumer attention once they reach retail stores before the end of this year.

Vodafone

vptizin — Sun, 14 Nov 2004 16:28:00 GMT

As part of their 3G launch, Vodafone has commissioned 24 one-minute episodes set in the world of the television show "24" (although it's not mentioned if Keifer and other cast members will appear).

Penphone

vptizin — Wed, 20 Oct 2004 07:17:00 GMT

a 5.9 x 1.0 x .7-inch little cellphone with color screen and a VGA camera (we have no idea how). It’s also tri-band GSM (900/1800/1900), supports GPRS, and claims 3 hours talk time or 120 hours standby time, with a 128 x 64 pixel, 65K color display. And to top it off, it sports a USB interface for uploads and downloads of those gorgeous VGA photos.

LCD TV

vptizin — Mon, 18 Oct 2004 15:02:00 GMT

Global-Tech Appliances, makers of all sorts of generic electronics for companies like Black & Decker, have shipped an order of 17-inch and 30-inch LCD TVs destined to become some of Yahoo!’s first consumer electronics products. While we originally heard that Diamond Electronics would be manufacturing the Yahoo!-brand LCD TVs, it seems Global-Tech got the deal. The Home Touch 17-inch and 30-inch flat panel high-definition LCD TVs are expected to have 768 lines of vertical resolution and appear in (really crappy) Yahoo-exclusive stylings.

the most interesting thing I’ve seen this week is the appallingly named ‘Lemur’, from the really appallingly named French startup ’Jazz Mutant’. It’s a 12-inch touchscreen monitor with an embedded CPU / graphics chip and an ethernet port. Plug the screen into a laptop and it becomes a control panel displaying movable faders, buttons and keyboards for live tweaking of music software. So far, so much like any design student’s final year project. Then, you watch the video clips on the site. They’re tiny and dark, and you can’t hear the music that’s being tweaked, but they’re amazing. The interface looks great and seems really responsive.

Canon Pixma

vptizin — Fri, 08 Oct 2004 18:19:00 GMT

Canon har med sin Pixma-serie fokuseret på design, hvilket er let at se på Canon Pixma iP4000.
Nyt på iP4000 er arkskuffer under forkanten i tilgift til en arkføder bagpå, som vi kender det fra i-serien. Skuffen foran stikker lidt ud fra printeren, når der er A4-papir i. Den er midlertid dækket med et låg, så støv ikke trænger ind.

I "lukket" tilstand har printeren ingen udstikkende dele - om man synes om det nye design, må være op til den enkelte at afgøre.

Byggekvaliteten på selve printeren er fortsat lidt skrøbelig. Her har Canon fortsat et lille stykke igen i forhold til for eksempel Epson.

I æsken, som er af samme informative type som tidligere, finder man foruden printeren følgende: ledning, 5 blækpatroner, adapter til CD-R-enheden, CD-rom med software og drivere samt manualer. I forhold til for eksempel i865 er dette et mindre omfangsrigt bundle. Grunden er dog, at iP4000 har integreret den funktionalitet, som i865 havde som aftagelig del.

Olympus E-system

vptizin — Tue, 28 Sep 2004 09:43:00 GMT

The eight megapixel EVOLT E-300 is their second digital SLR camera using their new FourThirds System sensor (basically a new standard for digital SLR technology) and is going to be aimed more at the consumer side of digital SLR market. Also compatible with their entire line of Olympus E-System lenses. They haven’t set a price for this one yet.
