Q-SOUND Solar-powered Headphones

Monday 25 May 2009 @ 11:00 am

Q-SOUND Solar-powered Headphones

Of course, this is not the first time that we reported on solar-powered devices, for digital audio players (DAPS), but the Q-Sound, a concept that is part machine and part Headphones Headband, definitely makes the most of the time when the sun is beating on the head.As you can see, solar cells are directly on the user’s Crown valuable radiation absorbing power. Some of you might wonder how these solar cells can be bent, though most are generally flat and stiff, but these cells are made of flexible plastic, with silicon solar cells.

The Q-SOUND includes Bluetooth, which allows the user to synchronize their Bluetooth-enabled mobile device for some wireless sound measures. Not only can the user listen to their music, but he or she can also receive calls from any Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone. When Bluetooth is not on the mobile device is in use, a cable connection is also possible with the included 3.5-mm jack.

Stephen Shepeleff, designers of the Q-Sound, has said that one hours sunlight is sufficient to provide the user with 2.67 hours duration. The headphones should be able to forty hours for free with the two removable NiMH battery pack.

Time will show whether this concept a reality, but I would not be surprised if the demand for solar-powered mobile devices increases in a “greener” world.

Trypticon the Transforming Laser Mouse

Even if it looks like the absolute most uncomfortable mouse I’ve ever seen, it would be to have fun. After all, women’s sparkling pink mice, why should not there be something for the child at heart? Although at first glance like something you buy for your son, it is probably not a good idea. They warn, for reasons of security, that no one under the age of 16 should be compatible with the mouse.

A warning that seems a bit much, I can not see a 14-year-old hurt faster than a mouse on a 16-year old would. They claim that this is due to the fact that they are sharp points and small parts that would be choking hazards. There are also other elements of mystery that they are not explained. The additional warning could be hazardous safety is even more compelling. If you want to live on the wild side of things, and I think this is one way to do it from the safety of your home.

Panasonic unveils Class 10 SDHC cards

Sunday 24 May 2009 @ 2:42 pm

Panasonic unveils Class 10 SDHC cardsIt’s been a while since we’ve seen all the major developments in the SDHC cards. We are stuck with Class 6 cards up to 32 GB for a while now. It was not a problem for everyone, they were not terribly slow, unless you use the card in a digital camera and try to select multiple pictures per second. This is not a problem now with the new Panasonic SDHC cards.

Panasonic, the latest gold line cards are Class 10 speed, up to 32 GB. Class 10 means they have a high transmission speed of 22 MB per second. This is much faster than Class 4, has 4 MB per second and Class 5, which at 6 MB per second. The cards are designed for digital SLR cameras and HD cameras, which will surely use the faster speed.

The cards can also be useful for all, a Netbook. Almost all Netbook is capable of using SDHC cards. In the case of the Aspire One, it is even in the situation with two, one of which is inserted into the disk. Faster cards for these machines are always welcome. It would cover all issues with playback of media files from the card, or in running a whole operating system because some of them are known to do. It would have been nice to see the Gold Line, or even up to 64 GB for the sake of Netbook, but 32 GB is still a respectable amount of storage.

The line is expected to sell in June, the prices will be announced later.

Upcoming iPods could be packing cameras

Well, because Apple has learned how to use his iPod so slim and small you could almost lose it in your pocket, why not a camera? Camera toting useful for almost any mobile phone in the world, so why not on an integrated music player, too? Rumors we will see such a shooter coming aboard iPod touch and iPod nano players surface, if it is in September.There are also video-recording of word functions on board the two players. Apple needs to look at the hot-selling, cheap HD camcorders like the Creative Vado and Flip Mino HD, so this rumor-mongering scuttlebutt perhaps not so far-fetched.

Pubs start disabling TTS on Kindle books

The Kindle 2 was introduced, a few months back and with him came a new text-to-speech function is not new in general, but new to the Kindle. Unfortunately, this function with the Author’s Guild, which quickly some concerns, even going as far as he wanted to say that they are removed. On the basis of these complaints, Amazon made some changes and began the publisher or author, to decide whether the text-to-speech, it would be possible.

Fast forward to today, and it seems that Random House has started to Amazon on their offer. So far, they have disabled the text-to-speech to more than 40 titles, the books of Toni Morrison and Stephen King.

This feature has apparently been quietly deactivated for this title. In other words, nothing has been officially opened by Random House. Of course, now that the deactivation door opens, I wonder which other authors and publishers will follow.
