Above you will see a seriously nice designed interior for the Boeing 787 plane. It was designed by Designworks and shows off their capabilities as designers. As can be also seen is the glass floor featuring a BMW parked below. For more pictures of the sleek design check out the link at the bottom of this blog. The images show features such as a cinema which uses the wall of the plane as the screen. The plane is multi level and hosts a bar, conference room and much more.

I have no idea if this plane will be made, but I could imagine some rich dude could request one from BMW designworks. Unfortunatly for me it wont be me who puts in the request 🙂

Belkin is set to release a network USB hub which allows you to connect to USB devices wirelessly. The hub makes it appear that the USB device is right there connected to your machine. This type of hub is very handy for those networked type of devices like printers as the built in Linux software allows certain readouts from the printer to be passed to the machine connected wirelessly. The hub features 5 USB 2.0 ports with 2 of them mounted on the front and 3 on the back of the device.

The Belkin Network USB Hub will be on sale in the US in June for $130 with the UK version following a little later.

Channel bonding is a method used in networking to increase reliability or increase throughput on a connection. By combing 2 or more channels of data together you can reach faster speeds, or decrease downtime due to the second channel taking over when the first dies. Ambit Broadband have released information on their channel bonding cable modem which allows you to connect 3 ADSL connections to it allowing for a current maximum download speed of 144Mbps and a maximum upload speed of 30Mbps. This is a nice increase on the standard low XX speed figures we are used to seeing. Just remember that you will need to update your network if you want to achieve these speeds as a number of Ethernet ports are still limited to 100Mbps although newer connections can accept up to 1Gbps.

Hanaro is currently the only ISP who will be accepting this ADSL modem. Hanaro is a Korean ISP. With this technology unleashed you can no doubt expect it to hit this side of the world in some shape or form. The speed is there… but lets hope the infrastructure can keep up with it.

For those who have used a Sony EyeToy you will either love it or probably hate it. I happen to think they are cool and a great laugh on the multi player games as it ads a different dimension to games. The EyeToy is now coming to the Sony PS3 and the specs have also been boosted a little to match. The camera is USB 2.0 and can capture 120 frames per second at 320 x 240 and 60 FPS at 640 x 480. This isnt bad at all for the camera and should allow for some nice interactivity with games. As well as having a nice frame rate the camera also has digital zoom and also has the ability to capture images with either a 56 or 75 degree field of view.

One last feature that we know about is that it is supposed to work in lower light conditions which is handy to have as light can kill the eyetoys ability to capture movement if it’s way out. Unfortunatly no prices yet, but it should be out later on this year.

This satellite receiver is an amazing looking device. It is named the MBR-501A and is capable of 4 hours of watching while receiving and 7 hours of recorded videos. The device has an SD card slot which currently allows up to a 2GB card to be inserted allowing for 9 hours of video to be recorded. The screen is a QVGA TFT screen which has a 320 x 240 resolution. Audio is produced through the mono speaker on the device although when docking the device it allows you to connect it to your stereo to play the audio.

I am interested in taking a look at this device to see what the quality of the Satellite receiver is like and what exactly it can pick up. It will be priced at just short of 20000 YEN.

Griffin have launched the AirDock which doesnt look too shabby. It is white and quite a small package. From what I read over at Fosfor, the remote control uses RF rather then infrared thus allowing you to change tracks in another room without line of sight. It costs $70 which is still a little too much in my book, but for it to have the RF remote control it might win a quite a few people over.

The guys at TokyoFlash launch some seriously interesting watches and this latest watch is no exception. It is named the Shinshoku and is a continuous stainless steel band which wraps around your wrist. Holes have been put in the band allowing for several colours of LED to shine through which some how show the time. 3 versions of this watch are available with the 3 colour LED watch being the easiest to read. The other options are all red or all green LEDs. To tell the time you will see that the watch is divided in to 3 sections. The left shows the number of hours, the right lower shows the quarter past marks (15, 30, 45) while the upper right is the minutes with in the quarter past marks.

Its a crazy but kind of cool looking watch which has animated effects when wanting to see the time. It is available from TokyoFlash and costs around $114 which isnt bad.
