HTC Desire could be your next superphone

Posted: 20 Mar 2010 12:46 PM PDT

Unless you have been living under a rock all this while, you would have known about the Google Nexus One smartphone that is touted to be a “superphone” by Google, as it squares up against the almighty Apple iPhone which has a worldwide legion of rabid fans, ready to come to its defense any day. Well, the Google Nexus One also has a different moniker, where it is known as the HTC Desire – previously known as the Bravo. Guess all of the hardware specification will more or less remain the same as the Nexus One, as this model will retain more than a handful of quality features to keep you hooked to it. More on the HTC Desire will be explained right after the jump.

The handset itself will run on a rather well executed alliance between the Google Android operating system as well as the HTC Sense user interface which enables users to customize multiple home screens with web feeds and other content that one would find most relevant. Apart from that, you will always be in the loop since the HTC Desire allows you to receive a continuous stream of comments, photos and status updates on popular social networking sites including Facebook and Twitter. To contact one of your friends is a snap, since all possible avenues of communication will be offered, ranging from email to SMS, Facebook and calling. With a virtually endless amount of downloadable apps from the Android Market as well as Google services such as Google Maps, Google Search and Gmail, the HTC Desire sounds like a truly complete handset for any smartphone user.

Hardware-wise, you get a 3.7″ AMOLED touchscreen display with multi-touch capability, offering an above average web browsing and multimedia experience. HTC has also thrown in an accelerometer that makes it a snap to rotate the angle of the display, while a proximity sensor will set the display to standby mode whenever you are entertaining a call, so that there won’t be any accidental selections of options. A 5.0-megapixel camera with autofocus and an LED flash lets you snap quality photos in a jiffy, but don’t expect it to hold up as well as a regular consumer class digital camera. It really depends on which carrier do you want to get tied down to in the UK with the HTC Desire, but most of them often throw in a free gift to make the deal all the more enticing.

Harman International rolls out new devices for the coming spring

Posted: 20 Mar 2010 12:37 PM PDT



Harman International is back with a new range of products across a trio of divisions this spring – we’re talking about home entertainment, mobile/in-car and multimedia. For those of you who do plenty of movie watching at home, Harman has just the tonic with spanking new 5.1 home entertainment solutions, where they include the Harman Kardon HKTS 20 and HKTS 30. Both models will feature exceptional audio performance and classy design complete with a 200W powered, 200mm subwoofer and two-way loudspeakers, virtually making them a firm favorite with action movie fans. Apart from that, this home theater system will also merge a dual-driver center-channel speaker for distinct movie dialogue, a quartet of compact satellites to pull every viewer into the exploding action and a powerful subwoofer for heart-stopping bass. They do bear the signature Harman Kardon form factor as well as functionality to maintain its brand image.

Of course, this pristine audio experience is not limited to the home only, as it will also appear in-car as well courtesy of the JBL MS-8. Touted to be a highly anticipated, game-changing product for the mobile category, the MS-8 will feature a one-of-a-kind system integration digital processor which supposedly optimizes any vehicle's performance in just a mere 10 minutes. All you need to do is go through the relatively idiot-proof step-by-step procedure in order for the MS-8 to maximize frequency response, bass performance, dynamics, clarity, detail and stereo imaging, regardless of the combination of factory-installed or aftermarket components that your vehicle sports.

When it comes to classic multimedia, Harman revives the old by offering new, improved versions of time-honored favorites such as the brand-new Harman Kardon Go + Play Micro, the JBL On Time 200P, the JBL On Time Micro and the JBL On Stage Micro II. These devices will offer an even greater versatility and iPod and/or iPhone compatibility, all without compromising on the similar world-class audio quality which is synonymous with the Harman brand name.

Twist Alarm Clock needs you to use your brains

Posted: 19 Mar 2010 09:14 PM PDT



Do you happen to have plenty of trouble trying to get out of bed every morning? Well, this is where the Twist Alarm Clock comes in handy – it will only shut up once you managed to solve the relatively simple math problem displayed on the screen. There are two displays and an equal number of rotatable parts which will work in tandem to present you with a math problem each morning, where you will need to provide the right answer before it keeps quiet. Talk about being forced to use your brains the moment you open your eyes! It is currently available in Japan only for $30 after conversion, although we’re pretty sure that you can import this puppy if you want something totally rad for the bedroom.

Mood Swing Lip Gloss

Posted: 19 Mar 2010 09:05 PM PDT



We’ve seen the phenomenon known as Mood Rings back in our younger days, but what about the Mood Swing Lip Gloss? This is one lip gloss that men won’t mind buying for their other halves – after all, I am sure that many of us have suffered the wrath of a sudden mood change in women, where we are deemed to be insensitive boorish neanderthals for not knowing how they feel like. Thanks to the Mood Swing Lip Gloss, it comes with a color chart that lets you predict what your woman is feeling right now, giving you at least a fighting chance to not get stepped all over verbally (and in some cases, physically). It has a color range that changes from clear to deep crimson.

JVC has new Everio camera ready to rock and roll

Posted: 19 Mar 2010 09:00 PM PDT



JVC of Japan is back with a spanking new Everio camera which will go one up on all of its other rivals – why do we say so? Well, it comes with integrated Bluetooth wireless technology that allows it to “talk” to other similarly equipped wireless devices. Of course, let us not get sidetracked by this and focus on what the Everio GZ-HM550 can do as a camcorder first before moving on to see the capabilities of Bluetooth connectivity. The Everio GZ-HM550 will sport a 10.6 megapixel CMOS sensor for recording high quality Full HD video and nine megapixel digital stills, and 32GB of internal flash memory which can be further expanded thanks to an SD/SDHC memory card slot.

Right, on to the Bluetooth now – it basically allows you to control the camera using nothing else but a smartphone, while you can also geo-tag your recorded videos as well as snapped photos through a compatible Bluetooth headset. Needless to say, you will still need to install the application which it ships with before it is able to pair up with a compatible Bluetooth-equipped smartphone. Using this software, one can control the camera remotely, letting you record, zoom and play operations. With a GPS device in tow, it is a snap to record location data of where movie and still files were recorded. All relevant data stored will be synchronized with Google Earth when viewing the file on a PC, and you can also take advantage of a Bluetooth-equipped headset to monitor the recorded sound or for voice recording. Hmmm, sounds fine and dandy for the rest, but don’t you think a regular remote control would work just fine for this camcorder if you want to operate it from afar? Guess having the Bluetooth option allows you to lose the remote without feeling a tinge of regret or panic.

Other hardware specifications include a 10.62 megapixel Back-illuminated CMOS sensor, 1920 x 1080 Full HD video shooting, real nine megapixel digital stills, a KONICA MINOLTA HD LENS with 16x dynamic zoom without suffering from any degradation of picture quality, an LED light and a flash for shooting in dark situation, Advanced Image Stabilization and advanced shooting functions. All that shooting could prove to be painful on your arms, which is why the Everio GZ-HM550 comes with a redesigned grip belt that works in two ways, as that of a conventional handle-style grip when both ends are snapped in place, or as a strap when one end of the belt is released. Expect to pick up the JVC GZ-HM550 Bluetooth-enabled camera for $799.95.

Casio unveils Pathfinder PAG110C-3 timepiece

Posted: 19 Mar 2010 06:24 PM PDT

Casio has been in the timepiece business for quite a fair number of years already, and most of us would have fond memories of a digital watch from Casio, although these days it seems to be imported from China instead of its spiritual home, Japan. Ah well, their range of G-Shock watches are also a cause to celebrate, since those are some tough devices which can withstand the rigors of an active lifestyle. This time round, Casio America takes the next step forward in the world of watches with its latest addition to the Pathfinder collection, otherwise known as the PAG110C-3. This new Pathfinder will definitely appeal to those who constantly brave the great outdoors, but it also has a conscience since it is eco-conscious with features such as solar technology and recycled packaging.

After all, having your watch die out on you while you’re in the lush forest in the middle of nowhere can be quite a frightening thought. So why not throw in some solar panels to make sure the watch has enough juice to keep going? We wonder whether they will come up with a hybrid mechanism that relies not only on kinetic energy to keep the timepiece ticking, but a solar panel as well for another alternative source of renewable energy. The PRG110C-3 will incorporate Casio’s Tough Solar Technology which increases battery life via the regeneration of electrical power from sunlight. This will help decrease battery consumption associated with traditional watches, which in turn assists in cutting down over three billion batteries thrown away each year by Americans – at least that is what the Environmental Protection Agency say. Basically, you wil decrease the presence of heavy metals in landfills which cause toxic contamination to the environment if you pick up this digital watch.

Despite being eco-conscious, this Pathfinder timepiece retains its core features, with the PAG110C-3 boasting advanced outdoor capabilities such as a digital compass, altimeter, barometer and thermometer, where all of it are more than capable of meeting the needs of the serious outdoorsman. You will also be able to enjoy five daily alarms, a stopwatch and world time in 30 cities. Is it raining, or do you have to forge rivers? Fret not – the watch is water resistant up to 100 meters and low temperature resistant as well. Each Casio PAG110C-3 will retail for $250 as an exclusive item on Amazon.com.
