Orange SPV M5000 review
By Jørgen Sundgot, Thursday 17 November 2005
"Granted, the 3.6-inch transflective TFT screen with VGA resolution performs superbly indoors as well as quite good outdoors - yet is trumped by both of Nokia's recent Communicator devices in the latter mentioned scenario. The thumbboard, however, with its comfortably large and bevelled keys, is absolutely superb [...]"
"The lack of a Ctrl key disappoints us, however, as certain functions such as copying, pasting and deleting objects could have been performed in far swifter manners than through context menus. Also, the inability for users to remap as many keys as the MDA Pro is disappointing."

Review : Quiet PC/Zalman TNN 300 System
HEXUS.net
Tarinder Sandhu
Monday 8th August, 2005
"Considered solely from an engineering viewpoint, the Quiet PC/Zalman TNN 300 is an overwhelming success. You begin to appreciate just how quiet it is when the near-silent hard drive begins to sound like a SCSI drive. The chassis is compact, well-made, looks good, and can accommodate internal components that are considered to be mid-to-high-end. Excellence in engineering is almost always accompanied by significant price premiums. That's true here, too, as the complete Quiet PC setup costs around $1,000, or around $400 more than an air-cooled setup."

"The proposed design of the machines calls for a 500MHz processor, 1GB of memory and an innovative dual-mode display that can be used in full-color mode, or in a black-and-white sunlight-readable mode. The display makes the laptop "both an electronic book and a laptop," he said.
One display design being considered is a flat, flexible printed display developed at MIT's Media Lab. Negroponte said the technology can be used to produce displays that cost roughly 10 cents per square inch. "The target is $12 for a 12-inch display with near-zero power consumption," he said."
"The machines, which will run a version of the Linux operating system, will also include other applications, some developed by MIT researchers, as well as country-specific software. "Software has gotten too fat and unreliable, so we started with Linux," he said.
For connectivity, the systems will be Wi-Fi- and cell phone-enabled, and will include four USB ports, along with built-in "mesh networking," a peer-to-peer concept that allows machines to share a single Internet connection."

"You are a DJ or a live performer and you want to record on the fly your set.
Okay, but no recorder device in the booth, or this antique and dust-full tape recorder : better than nothing but of course you don't have tape.
So you really need your own and very portable digital recorder.
Best of all is a .wav recorder with analog and digital input, there are not many devices that can do that. Most of cheaper portable recorders on the market use flash memory and Mp3 compression.
Also a lot of flash and HD Mp3 players can Record in Mp3 format."

I mentioned Zetera in two of my Storage Insider columns, in February
when they first left stealth mode, and in June, when they made a joint distribution agreement with a storage software company, DataPlow.
Why am I mentioning Zetera again now? Because Netgear is about to launch Storage Central SC101, the first product based on that technology, actually the combined technologies from DataPlow and Zetera, and I have one in my lab for an early peek."

"Using the new software with a 1-megapixel camera held at least 20centimetres away, an A4 sized page takes about 3 to 5 seconds to scan. This produces between 21 and 35 images which the software merges together to extract the text and record any images."

T-Mobile glimpses MDA III successor

infoSync World
"[...] the device will harbour a 240 x 320 pixel display with the ability to natively rotate the screen in a landscape orientation courtesy of its operating system, which will be Windows Mobile 5.0. This will let users easily align the screen with the thumbboard of the device, also this oriented in a landscape fashion.
To support quad-band GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, the device will also offer GPRS and EDGE for high speed data transfers, as well as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 802.11b for shorter-range connections. Also present is a 1.3 Megapixel digital camera, with the device slated to be part of T-Mobile's new web'n'walk range of devices, which come pre-loaded with the mobile version of the popular Opera browser to allow for on-the-fly reformatting of web pages to a small-screen friendly viewing experience.

Laptop Overclocking

"Computer overclocking is a popular "underground" activity practiced by many computer enthusiasts who are looking for more computer performance. However, since overclocking generally raises heat and power consumption, it is considered a bad idea to overclock laptops. Regardless, if done correctly one can overclock a laptop to obtain a substantial increase in performance with little to no side effects."

SiliconBeat: AlwaysOn's Tony Perkins to launch GoingOn
http://www.siliconbeat.com/entries/2005/07/18/alwaysons_tony_perkins_to_launch_goingon.html
"As a member of Perkins' existing AlwaysOn site, you'll be able to expand your AlwaysOn profile with a personal page and a bunch of new tools. Within that same page, you'll be able to pop up the profiles of people you're interested in contacting, or, yes, dating -- and as we understand it, GoingOn wants to be able to do that seemlessly from other sites, including Friendster, Tribe and so on. It will apparently let you post blogs, photos, video to multiple networks and outside sites, too.
We haven't played with it yet, but the idea of full interoperability with member profiles of other sites is interesting. The others have been fairly closed; GO's platform will be an open standards platform.
We're not sure how they'll pull it off. Being interoperable is not entirely new. That's the vision of SXIP, a Vancouver company we last mentioned here. They sell a product that allows the same user name/password info to be used across many networks. SXIP is trying to get it adopted as a Net-wide standard. The only problem, we're told, is that it hasn't taken off, that very few people have bought it. So if Friendster/Tribe et al aren't using it, how will this work? Maybe GoingOn can jump-start it somehow. SXIP is still a young company. There's also Ping, of Denver, which does something similar."

Bystander Photojournalism Steals The Spotlight in London Coverage

"Pick-ups, the term that wire services and picture agencies use for photos they get from bystanders, are nothing new. Notable examples include images of the Concord crash, the explosion of the shuttle Columbia, and some of the images (including video) of last December’s tsunami in Asia.
Picture agencies scour aggressively for pick-ups, with hopes of finding exclusive photographs they can fetch high prices for in bidding wars. Until now, agencies and wire services have used mostly physical canvassing to find the pictures. For instance, they call every witness they can identify and locate, or they stake out airports or other gathering points where witnesses are likely to pass by."

VideoLAN Client (VLC) a aussi la particularité d'être un logiciel open source français. Il a en effet été initialement développé par VIA Centrale réseaux, un club informatique de l'Ecole Centrale de Paris. Un de ses principaux contributeurs travaille d'ailleurs actuellement chez Free."

Peerflix Introduces Social Networking to Peer-to-Peer DVD Trading Service; New ''My Friends'' Feature Provides Unrestricted DVD Trades With Friends...
http://home.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/index.jsp?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20050511005315&newsLang=en
"Another benefit of the new features is to allow members and their contacts to share their "DVDs I Have" and "DVDs I Want" lists. "By sharing their lists, members can find out which movies their friends have already watched, how well they liked them, and which ones they want to see next," said Danny Robinson, co-founder of Peerflix. "What differentiates Peerflix's take on this community exchange is that we enable members to actually do something useful with this information. For example, they can request that friends mail their DVDs to them with one click."
"My Friends" also allows unrestricted trades between friends. Peerflix uses "Peerbux" as the internal currency that balances the trades within the network by assigning relative values to each title. This ensures that users contributing new releases and hot titles to the network get recognized accordingly and can receive DVDs of equal value in return. "Our members have told us that they'd be willing to generously trade their DVDs with friends and family without getting Peerbux in return -- what are friends for after all?" said McNair. "We've added the capability to do just that, so our members can trade with friends and family even if they do not have Peerbux in their account.""
