New Cortexa touchscreens from Smarthome Posted: 19 Dec 2009 04:30 AM PST Smarthome has just announced its new range of Cortexa touchscreen displays to the masses, where they will come in 8.4″ and 15″ touchscreen formats. Well, most homes these days still use traditional switches and aren’t all that smart, but it works for the majority of folks out there. For those who always want to live life on the cutting edge with the latest and greatest at their disposal, they would do well to check out what Cortexa has to offer with the recent introduction of their new touchscreen displays. Apparently, these won’t be crazy expensive, but are affordable yet offering power and performance for the home DIY enthusiast to develop a unique, reliable and complete home automation product suite. Cortexa’s new range of touchscreens are powerful and run on fast processors to keep it ahead of the game. You get flush mounting and acrylic bezels for that artistic touch to make it blend well with your interior (for most designs, anyways), while capacitive soft-touch configurable buttons are a snap to use and press. Webcam support is also thrown in for added effect. Cortexa’s robust solid-state touchscreens will open up access to the Cortexa Home Automation Controller, and one is able to use third party web-based or Windows based applications through a simple configuration process. Don’t worry about leaving the earth habitable for the next generation – these new Cortexa touchscreens are RoHS compliant, energy-efficient and reliable enough to function for years, with an always-on service via the XPe embedded OS to help you out of tight spots. These touchscreens are perfect for those who run web-based or Windows based applications where an in-wall location and touch access are considered to be essential. In an everyday use device such as this, one would expect the Cortexa touchscreens to deliver robust, solid-state and unwavering stable performance, which it promptly does so thanks to a low-heat, high performance fanless processor. Prices range from $1,750 to $2,550. Press Release Introducing Foolish Gadgets because not all gadgets are cool [ New Cortexa touchscreens from Smarthome copyright by Coolest Gadgets ]

LaCie 2Big USB 3.0 storage solution Posted: 19 Dec 2009 04:00 AM PST LaCie does come up with pretty decent external hard drives and portable storage solutions, especially when it comes to the careful balance of style and substance. Many LaCie devices in the past are extremely easy on the eye, desirable even, and they also don’t shortchange users when it comes to ability and capability. Their latest efforts shine through like a star in the form of the LaCie 2Big USB 3.0 storage solution, being one of the first few USB 3.0 external hard drives albeit with a twist – this model will boast RAID 0/1 storage capability, where it will be powered by Symwave's USB 3.0 standard-compliant dual SATA and RAID bridge controller, making it capable of achieving the highest throughput ever in a USB 3.0 external storage product, hence setting a new standard in the dual disk market at the same time. Depending on your storage choice, you can pick the 2Big USB 3.0 in capacities of up to 4TB, depending on your preference and needs, where each purchase will come with an award-winning backup software for both Mac and PC platforms. While regular home users won’t find the LaCie 2Big wanting, we’re pretty sure that on paper the 2Big is also more than capable of keeping professionals happy, including those who require a large data flow as they are able to leverage and unlock the potential of the USB 3.0 interface. This is mainly a device that caters for folks who want a sizeable data flow as well as fast storage in a single device. For example, video professionals would definitely love it since the 2Big USB 3.0 is able to transfer high definition uncompressed video at speeds of up to 275MB/s burst read transfer speed, or in other cases, performing real time streaming and editing of multiple HD files simultaneously without missing a beat. Hitting the market early next year while making a splash at CES 2010, there is still no word on pricing for the LaCie 2big USB 3.0 and all its variants, so watch this space as the CG team hits the showfloor in an effort to bring you nothing but well, the coolest.

Rē Accessory turns iPhone into a universal remote Posted: 18 Dec 2009 06:33 PM PST Just when you thought that the iPhone is the bee’s knees, enter another accessory that further augments that line of thinking – the Rē Accessory which will transform your iPhone into a universal remote control. Makes us wonder whether the folks at Logitech and all the other companies that roll out super expensive universal remote controls will sit up and take notice of this though, since most people already have an iPhone and to purchase another accessory that offers similar or nearly all the performance of an actual universal remote at the faraction of a price is definitely a no-brainer. You will not need any Wi-Fi to run this, as it is capable of learning IR code from existing remotes while enabling you to customize button images to suit your fancy. To sweeten the deal, the Rē Accessory can definite unlimited rooms with an unlimited number of devices, making us wonder what else the iPhone cannot do.
