Bluedot BDM-100S DVD/CD storage and retrieval silo

Posted on 05 June 2006 by admin

Japanese Bluedot just announced their Divita BDM-100S “neo style” disc storage system. Don’t be fooled though, she ain’t no integrated disc changer like we’ve seen with the Sony VAIO XL1 Digital Living System, it’s for the storage and retrieval of up to 100 DVD or CDs supplanting that multi-colored jewel case clutter. Discs are located by scrolling through your collection on that 1.8-inch display or by tapping in the title and searching the catalog.  Without any type of PC connectivity or CDDB lookup capability though, you can expect a long, mind numbing data entry experience on that text-unfriendly keypad. Look for it to drop in July for about Â¥41,790 or $370 for your clean livin’ fix. And if doesn’t work out, it’ll make one helluva cantenna.

Toshiba’s 200GB 2.5-in perpendicular drive

Posted on 05 June 2006 by admin

This whole perpendicular recording affair may have started with some dopey, bit-dancing hype, but things sure have gotten serious, fast. In the last month, Seagate dropped that big bad 750GB ‘cuda while Hitachi slipped us their 5400RPM, 160GB 2.5-incher. Now, Toshiba announces their MK2035GSS which packs in 200GB of 2.5-inch SATA disk spinning at 4200RPM with a 150MB/sec transfer rate and 12-millsecond mean seek time. No word on price, but you can expect ‘em to drop for mass production in August hitting your favorite laptop soon thereafter.

Posted on 05 June 2006 by admin

If you ever dreamed of a Pocket PC phone edition PDA with a 2.1Mpix Camera, Bluetooth and Wifi, Radio Tuner, which can only be used as a worldwide TV… Well you should definitively take a return ticket to Taiwan where GIGABYTE will sell the g-Smart i, a Pocket PC Phone Edition with WM5… and a PAL/NTSC TV Tuner… So how it works? Well like any kind of TV, you just have to plug an antenna on the side of your phone and here you go!… Also do not forget to remove the antenna while using the phone feature since you may look a little bit silly here.
