Cool Porsche Mobile Phone
September 11, 2007 by 2 Comments
The P9521 is designed by Porsche and looks great. It is the first ever designed phone by Porsche and is made from aluminium. The phone has a double hinge system which allows you to open the phone, rotate the screen and close it down in a similar way to the Clie. The glass on the screen is mineral glass and it does look amazing. Finger print scanning is built in and can replace a PIN code, or can be used to block access to certain parts of the phone. The camera is a 3.2 megapixel which is quite good and on the connectivity side there is GPRS and EDGE as well as being quad band. Bluetooth and USB are also built in.
Multi Sensory Screen – Concept Idea
September 10, 2007 by Leave a Comment
This concept idea has come from Microsoft Research and Mitsubishi Research Labs. It is a multi sensory screen which allows you to touch the back of the device to control what is on the front. This allows you to still see the full screen so that a pen or fingers do not obscure the view. LucidTouch is the name of the device and it uses pseudo-transparency which puts an overlay of the users hands on to the screen giving the effect of it being semi transparent. All fingers can be used at the same time with it being multitouch. A video demonstration is after the jump.
Robotic Piano Playing Hand
September 10, 2007 by Leave a Comment
This robotic hand is made of clear plastic and is capable of playing sections of Beethovens Fifth Symphony, The Entertainer and Minute Waltz. Each finger moves precisly. To start the hand from playing you just need to clap. The hand is powered by 2 AA batteries. I think it will make a creepy ornament for the fireplace.
The Pianist Hand Concert costs $16.95 from here.

HTC TyTN II
September 10, 2007 by Leave a Comment
The TyTN II from HTC was released recently. Dave over at MobilityToday managed to get hold of one for review and first impressions are quite good. Some bad things noted are the battery being too low capacity even though GPS, 802.11, HSDPA can be found which means less time using the device. GPS is not configurable, although it does just work with out problems. On the good side there is a great screen which can tilt allowing for better viewing. There is a lot of ram packed in there. The camera is 3 megapixel. TomTom is installed and it has USB charging which is great news.
Dave has more details over on his site as well as a full review to be expected soon.

Sony Rolly
September 10, 2007 by Leave a Comment
The Sony Rolly is a robotic toy which is actually a wireless speaker, audio player and has 1GB of internal memory. The Rolly will dance to the music. When listening to music you get about 5 hours of battery life. If you decide to stream music via Bluetooth then battery life drops to 4 hours 30 minutes. It is set to cost $350 when it hits Japan at the end of this month.
I am not sure if this will do well or not. It seems like an odd idea to have an MP3 player rolling around. I dont really get the point.
