TazTag announces TazPad NFC Android-powered tablet

Posted: 26 Feb 2011 04:30 AM PST



CeBIT 2011 is the place to be if you’re curious to see what an NFC-enabled Android-powered tablet would look like, as TazTag has just announced a product of its own in the same vein – the TazPad. Sounds a bit like something from Looney Tunes, although you won’t see any Tasmanian Devil twirling around like a dervish.

TazTag is a French expert when it comes to contactless technologies, and recently confirmed its intention to supply the market with the whole works of NFC products. The TazPad is where all the action’s at if you’re going to head down towards CeBIT 2011.

The TazPad can be said to be the only product of its kind on the market, where it will be equipped with a 7-inch color display that boasts multitouch capacity not to mention a full HD and HDMI output which will hook up via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC and ZigBee (the same applies to all TazTag products). Apart from that, the TazPad does not lack in any other multimedia/entertainment department since it also boasts of a camera, GPS navigation, and an accelerometer.

Being part of its secure hardware and software architecture, the TazPad is pretty special on the market as it also sports a biometric authentication option for added security reasons. The tablet, being powered by the Android operating system, will definitely go the way in appealing to the largest mobile applications developer community.

Targeting professionals, it will link the back end system with the vendor and their customers. Take for example, once biometric authentication on the TazPad is confirmed, a vendor may be able to provide specific information on products, read up on his client’s loyalty card (card or NFC phone), book orders on site and even register a secure payment.

Sans the biometric option, the TazPad can also see action in aisle end displays or store window, letting customers know about a product that is presented to the tablet.
Integrators and service providers will also be able to develop and customize new contactless applications while meeting their clients’ needs and expectations courtesy of the TazPad.

HTC to release Merge in the US this spring

Posted: 26 Feb 2011 04:00 AM PST



HTC has just announced that their latest HTC Merge smartphone will arrive across various North American carriers from the beginning of spring onwards. Just what does the Merge bring to the table? For starters, it will deliver a full QWERTY slide-out keyboard that is powered by the Google Android 2.2 Froyo operating system, coupled with the highly vaunted HTC Sense experience.

Apart from that, it brings along with it a large 3.8-inch touchscreen display and a 5-megapixel camera that will result in a complete mobile experience for those who want a complete smartphone experience. Apart from that, the HTC Merge will also be the first CDMA world phone from HTC that is powered by Android.

HTC has taken great pains to create unique solutions which will meet the needs of different customers, and the Merge does just that with features such as a full keyboard and global 3G roaming. HTC hopes that the HTC Merge will be able to deliver a reliable mobile experience with the features and functionality of a smartphone, regardless of whether you’re one who stays here or do plenty of traveling around the world.

Those who have emails on Microsoft Exchange will definitely appreciate the seamless integration with Exchange ActiveSync, not to mention enjoying quick and easy access to Flickr if you happen to share and view pictures, while finding new methods of customizing your experience with the Android Market. After all, with more than a 100,000 apps to choose from, you’re spoilt for choice – although we do admit that plenty of those are shovelware.

The HTC FriendStream service will also let you be up to speed with Facebook and Twitter updates on the go. In terms of hardware, we did talk about its 5 megapixel camera with auto-focus and flash that captures outstanding images even in low light conditions. Want to remain connected on the go? 3G support makes it a snap, while integrated GPS and Wi-Fi connectivity also help you out in a tight spot.

Fancy a spot of video? The camera is also capable of shooting high-definition 720p video for posterity. No idea on which operator will offer the HTC Merge this spring, but you know that there is at least a month more or so to save up for this puppy if you want one.

Check out this utopian eco village

Posted: 25 Feb 2011 05:22 PM PST

It has been a while since I reported on a futuristic concept of a city or building, but I like this particular one by Vincent Callebaut.

This utopian eco village, or Callebaut’s Coral Reef, is an artificial pier resting on seismic piles in the Caribbean Sea. I believe that the vision of this is to create new housing projects for people of Haiti that have been left devastated by the earthquake.

Of course, that is pretty high price housing, and who knows who is going to fund this. Still, the housing is modular and each family is to have a plot of land to grow their individual food. See what else my Source’s Source says about it after the jump.

A canyon flows between two rows of housing and is filled with a tropical ecosystem for the local fauna and the flora. Aquaculture farms and grey water recycling plants filter and process the water before sending it into the sea. The entire complex is carbon neutral and powered via a number of different renewable energy sources. Power would be generated from thermal energy conversion under the pier, marine currents, vertical axis wind turbines, and solar photovoltaics.

So it is eco-friendly, and in the Caribbean. Man, I so want to live there.
