E-Ball PC

How would the future computers look like? If we are to factor in the continuous miniaturization that applies to most of the IT&C devices, the future PC might end smaller than a current memory chip, so we could be implementing them inside our brains or everywhere in our bodies. But until we actually get to fuse with computers and possibly create a new and improved version of Homo Sapiens, we ought to stick with more familiar shapes and sizes. Up until now, PC cases had to be rectangular or square at most. Apostol Tnokovski, however, thinks that PCs of the future will go through a phase of roundness, just like his design right here:Tnokovski’s design takes the form of a 6-inch orb-shaped enclosure. Conveniently dubbed E-Ball, the PC spheroid is also said to be “the smallest PC ever made.” According to DVice, although the ball-shaped PC is small enough to fit nicely in the palm of your hand, it still features a pop-out laser mouse, a pico projector inside that illuminates either the wall or a sheet of paper for a screen, and a laser-projected keyboard.I wonder what kind of motherboard would fit that sphere-like PC. How about a list of connectors? We’ll see about these issues whenever this concept gets materialized, if it ever gets materialized.

The Red Dot Design Award registering period is ending on January 18 and we are anxious to see the final list of participants and the winners, but we’ll have to be patient until then and in the mean time to take a look at last year finalists.I want to present you the winner of Best of the best design concept in Entertainment category of last year event, which is the E-Paper from Chocolate Agency Chinese company.Unlike known to you from CES 2008, Chocolate E-Paper is still a futuristic concept but more spectacular than the one existent.Why? Because it is lighter, thinner, suppler and cheaper to produce, but it also saves more power. With such characteristics, Chocolate E-Paper would be used in creating different shapes for everyday use products like round devices to be worn as bracelets on your wrist and computer or TV displays.In bracelet shape, this E-Paper would be adjustable in length and will also have removable inserts, while a kinetic power generator would be a long and reliable energy source for it.Chocolate Agency proposed three basic uses of their E-Paper and these are: E-Paper MP3/MP4 player bracelet, E-Paper GPS bracelet, and E-Paper Digital Photo Frame cube.

The supplementary functionality of a wall plug for inside power sessions further increases the effectiveness and appeal of the new gadget. It looks to go on sale this summer for about $50 which is a little pricey for a battery charger, but not overly so, and is worth it to be able to utilize solar for your batteries.

DC X725 by Benq

Benq amazes us once again with the launch of the new compact classy digital camera. The DC X725 is as small as 12.5 millimeters, and the material from which it is made of is steel, so it is stainless and more resistant. It comes in four different colors, black, red silver, or pearl. It has a 1/2.5 CCD and can go up to 3x optical zoom. The ISO sensitivity can go up to 1600 on photos and 4000 on videos. You can also increase the memory, as it has an SD/SDHC memory card support.

S3000, A6000 & M8000 Pavilion Slimline by HP

Three new models of desktop PC series have been launched into the market by HP. The three models of the Pavilion Slimline series are s3000, a6000 and m8000. The first one comes with 1GB of RAM, and you can pick either a AMD CPU or an Intel CPU, but for the later you have to pay an extra 50$. If not you can buy it for 500$. The PC can be set with a low graphic card, maybe a TV tuner and a Pocket Media Drive.
You can buy the a6000 at a lower price then the s3000. It’s just 330$ but you would be throwing off some memory because it has only 512 MB of RAM. But the bright side is that it comes with an Intel CPU, a Pocket Media Drive and a graphics card. But the “jewel of the crown” is the m8000. And the price says so to. At 950$ it has a DVD drive and again you can pick between a dual core AMD or Intel processor. All three models have Windows Vista preinstalled.

Pillete

Pillete, the new concept of Bluetooth headset is so tiny, it’s almost invisible to the untrained eye when you are wearing it. So you don’t have to worry anymore about looking like Robocop when walking down the street with it, but you have to consider the possibility of people starting to think you’ve lost your marbles and you’re talking to yourself.
The downside is the fact that people have different sized ears and the device might be too small and slip out or to big and not fit. People who often use earphones will tell you I’m right. But once they’ll figure out a way to make the Pillete adjustable, this design will be the future of all headsets

Flyclear Card

All of us who have been on a plane know about how long you have to wait before you can board because of the annoyingly thorough check-ups you have to pass before you can go on your trip. But from now on you can leave all those controls behind thanks to the new Flyclear card. And it only costs $99.95 a year and the fee for TSA of $28.
To get one, you have to go to a Clear center and present two official identification cards. Then you have to take a photo and give them your biometric information. They suggest that you should have a US passport, but foreign people are welcomed to.
So now you can eliminate the stress from your plane trips, not worry about those hidden pierces and miss a lot less planes. The Flyclear has already been put into function but for very few airports like Orlando, San Jose and JFK and the service is not available all day long. But there are plans to expand this technology
