iLoad for iPod

Posted on 11 November 2005 by admin


This little device is not launched by Apple though. But its meant for Apple’s flagship product iPod. iLoad eliminates the use of PC which is necessary to transfer the songs into your iPod. Just put your CD to be ripped in iLoad and rips and transfers the music into your iPod. Though iLoad’s website says that its not launched yet. We are hoping to see soon iLoad in the market and hope it wouldn’t be more expensive than owning an iPod.

Pinpoint Advanced Disc Repair Systems

Posted on 10 November 2005 by admin


Peripheral’s specialist Pinpoint Consumer Electronics has launched two new advanced disc repair systems that promise to repair scratched discs in under a minute.
Developed by a former NASA scientist, and an award winning manufacturer, the SkipDR Advanced and the SkipDR Automax remove scratches from CDs, DVDs, games, photo and data discs that can cause skipping and freezing and interrupt play.
According to the company, it should be easy to bring a disc back to perfect working order using the SkipDR Advanced and SkipDR Automax – both of which incorporate a vertical disc loading design feature.
With the SkipDR Advanced you have to spray your disc with the resurfacing fluid provided, insert it into the vertical disc loading area, turn the handle to spin the disc, remove and then buff!
For those who would prefer an entirely automated process, the SkipDR Automax follows the same principles but incorporates ‘auto load’ and ‘auto eject’ features. The SkipDR Automax is also battery operated.
Both the SkipDR Advanced and the SkipDR Automax use a chemical free process that does not damage the data stored on discs, according to the company. Using a patented, replaceable resurfacing wheel, the surface of the disc is buffered and evened out. This should eliminate the refraction of the laser caused by the scratch and the disc should not skip anymore.
The SkipDR Advanced costs £29.99 (ex. VAT) and the SkipDR Automax is £34.95 (ex. VAT). Fifty discs can be repaired before the resurfacing wheel needs to be replaced, and both devices come complete with an instruction booklet, environmentally friendly fluid, drying cloth and a buffing square. Replacement kits are available for £4.99 (inc. VAT) and include a replacement wheel, resurfacing fluid, drying cloth and buffing square.

CellStik simplifies cellphone address book backups

Posted on 07 November 2005 by admin


A lot of people use their cellphones as address books and organizers, but most of those people aren’t as obsessive as we are about backing up that data to their PCs (and most aren’t as willing as we are to deal with painful and frustrating Bluetooth configuration software). So, the CellStik may well be a handy peripheral for lots of cellphone users. The device looks like a normal USB flash drive, but includes a connector designed to match the proprietary interface found on most cellphones (there are currently versions available for LG and Samsung phones, with Moto up next). According to the manufacturer, Spark Technology, you can just plug the CellStik into your phone, download your phone’s data, and then plug it into a PC to retrieve it. You can also use it to transfer data directly from one phone to another, cutting the PC out of the loop (as long as both phones support the same connector, of course). At $39.99, it’s not much more expensive than a USB data cable, and could be a lot more useful for some customers (though we’ll stick with painful and frustrating Bluetooth syncing).

Kanguru BioSTOR biometric hard drive.

Posted on 04 November 2005 by admin


If you’re paranoid about security, wish you were James Bond, or simply run a business that requires the security of data, then Kangaru Solutions has just the thing for you. The BioStor external hard drive will only let you access the data stored on it after it scans your fingerprint and confirms that it is an exact match. That’s biometric security, Mr. Bond.
The USB 2.0 HD comes in sizes from 40GB to 100GB. It reportedly has an encryption speed of 1.6 Gigabits per second. As soon as the drive is removed from your USB port it automatically locks to protect the data and remains locked until you have your pads scanned. A great solution for medical practitioners, or other industries where confidential information must be protected.
This unit will withstand up to 200G of shock, which seems practical and important to protect vital data. It will store up to 5 fingerprints. Prices range from $229.95 for 40GB to $349.95 for 100GB.

Transcend JetFlash 8GB

Posted on 04 November 2005 by admin


USB flash drives are hardly news unless someone can push the specs. Funny to think that even though it’s been about a year since we first started hearing about flash drives in this capacity, Transcend’s new JetFlash can still turn heads with 8GB of storage (and decent 21MB/s writes and impressive 11MB/s reads). No pricing yet but expect to drop a grand for the big GBs.

I-O Data Totebag USB Key and Lock

Posted on 02 November 2005 by admin


This pretty little thang you see is the latest USB key from I-O Data. The “Totebag” is a bit different from normal USB drives though, because aside from storing either 256MB, 512MB, or 1GB of your personal data, it also will lock up your PC when removed so no one can use it. Just install the software included and your literally have a USB “key”. It’s been done before, but this one looks very pretty, so there’s your added bonus. No word yet on whether or not you’ll be able to use the locking feature with your Mac. The 256MB model will run ya $30, the 512MB model $50, and $95 for the 1GB version. Available now.
