| Garmin nuvi 1450 GPS Device Navigation Posted: 18 Oct 2009 10:30 AM PDT Garmin launches Nuvi 1450, a new GPS device with 5-inch 480 × 272 touchscreen. The device comes pre-loaded with detailed maps of City Navigator NT, nearly 6 million points of interest (POI), 2-D or 3-D maps and the speed limit for most main roads and you can you get voice prompted turn-by-turn directions that speak street names to your destination. CityXplorer optional content can be downloaded to help you navigate the city transit.

| Sony Ericsson Xperia X3 Spotted Operating Systems Posted: 18 Oct 2009 07:30 AM PDT Although the image is fairly small and do not really watch that much detail, it is always good to see that the phone is to get closer to production. It should also X2 and X3 will be available at the same time they run several different operating systems.
The Xperia X3 is powered by a 1GHz Snapdragon processor manufactured by Qualcomm, which should enable a device Snappy and probably good timing for Android 2.0, which was recently captured. Connectivity wise, the Sony Xperia X3 will connect on HSDPA networks and Wi-Fi but at this stage it is unclear whether it will be 802.11n, or more than likely down from that stage . As one might expect on a device that capacity, the X3 will use integrated GPS location-based services and maps, etc…SatNav. The phone is expected to have a capacitive screen measuring 4 inches that can display a 852 x 480 pixels very good. This will also include an 8 megapixel camera. It looks set to be an impressive phone and if the X3 current specifications should be made official it will probably be one of the devices to compete. [via gadgetvenue] a |
| Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 Quickly Captured Digital Camera Posted: 18 Oct 2009 05:30 AM PDT There seems to be a concept that has quickly captured the market for digital cameras that what everyone really needs is a digital SLR can also shoot video high definition. Nikon it started with the D90 late last year, and followed with the D300, a video-capable version of its popular semi-pro DSLR, I’ll review next week. Not to be outdone Canon has partnered with its impressive EOS 5D MkII, featuring full 1920 x 1080 HD and stereo sound, and Pentax has added HD video recording at the new K-7 superb digital SLR. Panasonic has also taken the G-microphone system in this direction, in fact, I saw a nearly complete model of the GH1 at the launch event for the end of last year G1, so it’s obviously been planning this for a while.
The GH1 is in most respects, exactly the same as the original G1, not too surprising if they were both designed in the same time, so it’s probably a good idea to go read this review, for I ‘ do not like to repeat myself. The body is almost identical, which is distinguished externally by the addition of a stereo pair of microphones mounted on top of the pop-up flash and a dedicated button on the back to activate the video recording. It has the same SLR-like look that the G1, with a handful of small but comfortable, a comprehensive but carefully positioned layout of controls, and a large and extremely sharp fully articulated three-inch 460k widescreen. Because the G1 lacks the reflex mirror and prism optical viewfinder of a conventional digital SLRs. It was rather an ultra-EVF Sharp, a field sequential display with a resolution of 1.44 million points. I must admit I still prefer a traditional optical viewfinder, but this is probably the best currently available electronic viewfinder. The GH1 is currently only available as a kit with the new 14-140mm f/4.0 - f/5.8 zoom. This is very nice, which is equivalent to a very useful 28-280mm, and exceptional optical quality. It is specially designed for shooting video with one engine direct drive linear fast, but the silence of focus, zoom and smooth action. Unfortunately this kind of quality are not cheap, and GH1 kit currently sells for about £ 1,300. By comparison, top-of-the-line HD camcorders, as own Panasonic HDC-HS300 is about 800 pounds.

| LG Crystal GD900 Single Keyboard Phone Posted: 18 Oct 2009 03:30 AM PDT The Crystal LG is known for its crystal single keyboard that slides out from behind the camera, but did you know that can hold water (UN-officially) and some small fish? That’s what a guy did in creating perhaps the worlds first mobile phone fish tank.
The owner took the phone back off and put a couple of small fish in the back (I have no idea what kind of fish) and the back when it was injected on a little water aquarium . As you can see in the picture above, the phone still works effectively as the backlight of the keyboard transparent. Take a look at the video after the jump to watch the madness.

| HP C309g Photosmart Premium Touch Screen Printer Posted: 18 Oct 2009 01:30 AM PDT HP has released its way to design this machine very smooth, simple lines. The top cover, glossy black with a series of geometric lines in relief, not unlike some laptops and HP’s recent lifting the lid allows easy access to the flatbed scanner, but there is little benefit in the hinge to digitize books.
The fixed control panel has an inclined edge embossed with the touchscreen set almost as a separate unit on five key position. The screen is surrounded by six buttons for single-touch function, which light up when their functions are available. It is a capacitive screen, with bright backlighting and large icons. It is very easy to use and is somewhat more sensitive than the Lexmark. It has an aspect ratio of 7:5.5, which is better for photo previews of a wide screen. Below the control panel is the standard rule paper tray, which can take both plain paper and white photograph. The printer draws the photo tray itself when you select Media Photo. A pull-out paper stop printing A4 sheets prevents slipping on the desktop, but increases the footprint of the printer is quite considerable. Two memory card slots for SD, MemoryStick and xD are set beside a USB to dual use, which connects to PictBridge-enabled cameras and USB drives. The rear connections include USB and Ethernet, but the Photosmart Premium C309g also supports the wireless networking. Hardware installation is a breeze, just cut off five rounds - there are pigmented photo black - in the print head and go. Wireless setup is also very simple wizard firmware hunting for available networks and has a touch screen keyboard to enter a passcode. Installing the software is then using the printer and the network connection is painless. [via trustedreviews] a |
| Intel Core i7 Processor Include CPU Posted: 18 Oct 2009 12:32 AM PDT HardOCP has taken a look at a couple of CPU coolers for Intel Core i7, you can see here. Today we will examine some heat sink from lesser known manufacturers, and Kingwin Thermal Transtech International Corporation. For good measure we include newt cooler Zalman CNPS9900 LED.
In the race to produce the most effective model sample each day brings something different to the table. We design orbital Zalman, bent tail design to help Kingwin cooler phases of the hot CPU power, and something called a thermal column of TTIC which you must see to believe. [via dvhardware] a |
| Uncharted 2 Among Thieves PS3 Games Posted: 17 Oct 2009 11:30 PM PDT We knew that the release of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves would be a huge deal for the PS3, it was because of the huge number of preorders. Now that the game has hit shelves, more than 300,000 units were sold with a new 450,000 to 500,000 should be sold before the end of the week.
The latest figures from VGChartz confirmed that Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is the 3rd fastest selling PS3 game in the U.S. The only two games to defeat him Metal Gear Solid 4, and two Grand Theft Auto IV at No. 1. Sales in the rest of the game are as follows, 47,000 units were transferred to Japan on the first day, with sales expected to reach 60,000 to 65,000 by the end of the week. There is no specific data sales for Europe, but a week Once sales should reach about 400,000 to 500,000 sales. If these figures are correct, then the first week of sales for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves on PlayStation 3 from Sony is about one million, making it the fourth PS3 title the fastest in the worldwide sales figures.
