Philips have introduced the SLA 5520 Steamium adapter. The device streams audio and visual data. Streamium has been expensive in the past, but now with the introduction of the SLA 5520, this is now changing and this device will sell at $99. The only down side is the 2 tone screen rather then a colour screen.

So what is all this Streamium stuff about? Basically, you can broadcast from your PC, music and video all over your house. Not too complicated 🙂

Imagine driving towards some traffic lights and you can have a count down telling you how long before the light changes Green. Or if an ambulance is on it’s way and you need to move. This might happen with this new idea from Sony. It’s basically a system currently which is designed to pass messages from car to car through an LED which appears to be switched on all the time but is inface flashing very quickly. I personally have no idea what a car to car communication could be needed for, bearing in mind the you would have to type out a message etc… and surely it’s quicker to call someone. Maybe something like a breaking system might be of benefit where it can warn the driver behind of sharp braking.

OhGizmo are reporting on the worlds smallest wireless camera which is colour. As seen in the picture below, the actual camera is less then an inch and can run on a 9v battery for about 10 hours beaming signals across the waves. Unfortunatly the camera needs to be in direct site of the receiver which means it wont be that great for spy related activities.

Fuji have introduced this 6 megapixel Finepix camera (the F470). It’s a very light weight camera weighing in at just 122g which puts it as one of the lightest in the 6 megapixel class.

It features a 3x zoom, quick start up, low shutter lag, ISO 400, and excellent colour and white balance. The screen is a nice sized 2.5″ which we are seeing quite often on the latest digital cameras.

On the downside, the battery provided is not that great and does not hold it’s charge too well. A shame, but still a great camera.

NEC have introduced a super senstative finger print scanner. The fingerprint scanner is an 800dpi (highest so far is around 500dpi) and has a very low rate of getting it wrong. Somewhere in the region of 0.0001%.

The device is to cost around $250.

The worlds smallest camera sensor is tiny! It measures at 2.1 x 2.3 mm which is about a 5th of your finger nail. Some say it’s to do with medical reasons in that you could swallow and see inside you but I doubt that is the case as it would end up taking pictures from random directions although it would still be cool to see pics all the way through your body 🙂
