Sagemcom Sixty Digital Cordless Phone

Posted: 15 Apr 2012 05:30 AM PDT

Most of us would probably not use a landline any more these days, considering how cheap mobile plans are, and not having the need for a landline in the first place. Of course, there are others who prefer to stick to tradition, but I can say for sure that the number of landline fans are dropping as each year passes by. What happens when someone decides to take the old and merge it with the new? An example involving the landline would be the £89.99 Sagemcom Sixty Digital Cordless Phone, where it will come in a sleek design with an orange or chrome finish, boasting retro sound effects and light effects on the round dial.

Definitely an attention grabber no matter which part of the room you decide to place it, the Sagemcom Sixty Digital Cordless Phone has an LCD touchscreen display that shows off the time and date, while letting you access a slew of functions in a jiffy such as your digital address book. It holds up to 150 names and numbers, and you can also view messages, adjust settings and see who is calling via caller ID on said LCD display.

Heck, it even has an integrated answering machine, capable of storing up to 24 minutes’ worth of messages. Beautiful as it may be, I still think it is overkill for a landline device.

D-Link DSM-310 MovieNite streaming media player

Posted: 15 Apr 2012 05:00 AM PDT

When it comes to networking peripherals, D-Link is another name that can be trusted, although most of the time, we would think that this is placed one notch below Cisco’s Linksys brand. Having said that, I have used D-Link devices for a fair number of years now, and the wireless router has lasted me until recently, being a decent and faithful servant, it finally gave up the ghost. Well, today we are not going to talk about wireless routers or modem routers, but instead, will concentrate on D-Link’s latest release, the DSM-310 MovieNite streaming media player.

This is the latest device in D-Link’s entertainment product line, where the MovieNite streaming media player is said to be able to deliver instant access to an unlimited amount of 1080p HD movies and TV shows, in addition to personalized Internet radio directly to any TV without breaking the bank. It is a snap to set up, and when it comes to using it, easier still. MovieNite will offer a range of home entertainment content that can be accessed with but a single click of the remote control, where among the choices available to you include VUDU, Netflix, YouTube, Pandora, and Picasa. Oh yeah, did we also mention that you can view mydlink-enabled network cameras as well?

Walmart carries this $59.99 MovieNite streaming media player as an exclusive, so you will not be able to find it on shelves of stores elsewhere. Thanks to the integrated wireless and Ethernet connectivity, it is a snap to connect to a home network, while HDMI output is there to enable you to stream HD movies up to 1080p, with composite audio/video connections capable of breathing new life into any analog TV, transforming them into Smart TVs instead.

Last but not least, the free MovieNite remote app will be available for iPhone and Android-powered devices, turning your smartphone into a remote control.

Pool Party Pong

Posted: 14 Apr 2012 05:30 AM PDT

Since it is already the weekend, you know that you want to just unwind and not have anything to do with work. After all, doesn’t the old saying go, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy? You surely do not want to end up jaded when Monday rolls around, so why not throw a crazy pool party with the rest of your mates? The $38.99 Pool Party Pong will be able to merge the passion of pool parties and craziness of beer pong, as this playing table can be inflated to 5 feet long, and can be set up for both 10 and 6 cup beer pong, sporting an additional quartet of cup holders for wash cups, or perhaps to cater for a particularly thirsty player.

Needless to say, I would expect the Pool Party Pong to be made up of quality material which will not puncture all too easily. There is also the attractive fact that the entire setup can be stashed away in a jiffy once you are done – after all, how hard is it to deflate something this size and to fold it up afterwards? There you go, attaboy!

2011 Xperia smartphones on the receiving end of Ice Cream Sandwich software upgrade

Posted: 14 Apr 2012 05:00 AM PDT

Back in 2011 (which clearly ended not too long ago), there was this company called Sony Ericsson, but somewhere, somehow, along the way, something happened, and the company decided to part ways – ditching the Ericsson name, and Sony continues to forge onwards in the smartphone industry on their own, just like how they did all those years ago with their collection of mobile phones. I clearly remember Sony introducing the Jog Dial concept that made it a whole lot faster to scroll through the menu system.

Well, fast forward to today, and here we are, having arrived full circle yet again. If you happen to own a smartphone which hails from the 2011 Xperia range, then you would be pleased to hear that at long last, you will be able to have Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich up and running on your handset in the coming weeks ahead.

The new Sony software upgrade which will include the uplift to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich for the 2011 Xperia smartphones will initially be made available to just three handsets – the Xperia arc S, Xperia neo V and Xperia ray, and even then, it will be limited to consumers who reside in Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Finland and Norway. As for the rest of the world, they will need to wait for the next 4 to 6 days, giving you the opportunity to exercise your patience to unprecedented heights.

How do you get the software upgrade from Sony running on your Xperia device? Well, you will first be able to see it when the software kit (customized specific to your operator and handset) is prepared and ready on Sony’s own support community, which is http://talk.sonymobile.com. Do continue to keep on checking if your kit has yet to be listed.

You will need to connect your 2011 Xperia smartphone to a PC or Mac, prior to checking out and following the instructions here (http://www.sonymobile.com/update) to the letter. As for the rest of the 2011 Xperia range which will comprise of the Xperia arc, Xperia PLAY, Xperia neo, Xperia mini, Xperia mini pro, Xperia pro, Xperia active and Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman, those will start to receive the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update from the end of May or early June onwards.
