Cell Phone with a Built-in Projector...

2009-01-04T14:01:00.008+05:30

Now you might have seen gadgets like this in movies, but once again science has succeeded in catching up with fiction.It's difficult to enjoy videos or movies on cell phone with friends when all you've got is a tiny 3 inch screen.

Well, Texas Instruments has got an answer for this problem.Don't use your cell phone screen, use a wall instead.They've come up with a digital light processing (DLP) "pico" projector, which can fit right into a cell phone. what..!! you don't believe me, well, watch it for yourself. The Cell phone used in the demonstration is a fake but the projector works and it is fit into the body of a cell phone.. .

The projector contains three lasers, a DLP chip and a power supply and measures about 1.5 inches in length. With the projector, the cell phone can beam DVD-quality video onto a screen or a wall, thereby allowing it to serve as a video player or a television. By using the projector, the actual "screen" size can be much larger than what a person would get by using the LCD panel integrated into the phone. The chip inside the phone, in fact, could drive images for a wide screen television.

Hundreds of thousands of microscopic mirrors inside the handset flip with tiny amounts of energy, reflecting the right colours to make up the picture.

If it needed as much power as a standard projector, the show would be over in minutes. "In designing this pico-projector, with the use of LED illumination and the chip, along with other components, we've engineered it to last longer," said Michael Guillory, head of marketing for Texas Instruments' digital light processing products.

"You want to use the cell phone, so you don't want it to take up all its power using the projector," he said. "So by designing it to last at least an hour and a half it allows our customers to manufacture a very usable device."

Well, i can think of a number of things to do with this cool gadget which i'm not going to type here, I'm sure you can think for yourself. But here's a link to some very interesting ideas, and another video of the gadget. check it out.

3d Printer-A Printer that Prints out 3D Objects

2007-12-16T11:35:00.000+05:30

Ever Looked at a Really Cool Gadget on Your Computer Screen and Thought How cool it would be to just Get it Out of the Computer and have it.Well,If you have,Your Dream has come true.The Object that you have been looking at and Drooling,could be yours,Instantly.What you have to do is just print it.Yes.....let me repeat...Print it.Print the object on your screen on a special Printer seen in the Pic Above,Beside the P.C.

Believe it or not, three-dimensional printers already exist. Using a process known as stereolithography, companies such as Z Corporation and Objet Geometries sell printers that create 3-D models by depositing and hardening layer after layer of smart polymers.

Researchers at Berkeley in 2003 took the idea a step further, proposing a machine that integrated the printing of circuits into the process, thus potentially creating a fully formed piece of electronics (e.g., a remote control, a light bulb) all at once.The above Seen Printer Can Create a fully Formed electronic Device With all different Kinds Of Materials.

For Those who Have Been Drooling At this Idea,I Must Tell you that the the Cost of The Printer Is Higher that Anything You Might want to Print out. Industrial machines cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. However, a "moderately priced" desktop version exists as well. Japanese company Autostrade produces a $25,000 machine called the E-Darts Solid Printer that looks like a cross between a microwave and an Easy Bake Oven.(In The Top Pic).And Even If you Have Enough Money to Buy It,You Would Need to Have The Actual Blue Prints Of the Device to Print It Out.Unless You Want to Print Out a Razor or a Plastic Box.

Well,Even if the Most Of us Can't Even Think Of Buying This Ultra Cool Product,We can Certainly Dream About it Being Available For Us In a Near Future at Reduced Prices.Think About A Future where You will no longer need to go to a Store to Buy a T.V. Or a Cell phone.Just Order Online ,Get The Coded Blueprints Provided By the Manufacturer (It Should Be Coded Such that it can be used only Once),And Print It Out.Our Own Production Plant.Looks Like This Cool Device Could Put The Assembly Workers Out Of Business.Although Don't Worry,It's Definitely Not Gonna Happen In the Near Future.

Amazon's Kindle e-Book Reader

2007-12-09T15:27:00.000+05:30

First off, while the Kindle may not be a whole new class of device (electronic-book readers have been around for a number of years), it just joins the Sony Reader in making the e-book reader category a whole lot sexier and buzzworthy. While the Sony PRS-505 is the sleeker of the two devices, the Kindle has Some Awesome New Features.Making It a Lot more cooler.

The Kindle Has got an Excellent High-Contrast screen,Which does a great job of simulating real paper.It has got a 600 x 800-pixel screens that use E Ink technology, which serves to make the letters and words on the screen look more printlike in their appearance--it's quite impressive if you haven't seen the technology in action before.

The Cool Points
It has a free built-in wireless connection that allows you to tap into Amazon's vast online bookstore from just about anywhere you can access Sprint's EVDO cellular data network.
The Kindle holds around 200 books in its 185 MB of user-accessible internal memory, and you can store hundreds or even thousands more books, MP3s, Audible audio books, and other files on the device if you purchase an optional SD memory card(Upto 4 GBs)
Built-in keyboard for notes
Amazon is currently offering more than 90,000 titles, including 90 percent of the current New York Times bestsellers for Download
Kindle allows you to download reading pleasures such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, TIME, Atlantic Monthly and Forbes magazine(dailies are automatically delivered overnight, ready for reading on the morning commute)
You can also access over 250 top blogs from the worlds of business, technology, sports, entertainment, and politics.
I should probably mention that the Kindle can access Wikipedia, which technically makes the device a hand-held encyclopedia
In terms of audio, the Kindle plays back MP3 files, so you can listen to music while you read (there's a headphone jack on the bottom of the device along with a tiny speaker on back of the device), as well as Audible books.
The device is capable of viewing image files (JPEG, GIF, BMP, PNG)
E Ink technology, which serves to make the letters and words on the screen look more printlike in their appearance--it's quite impressive if you haven't seen the technology in action before.

The Not so Cool Points
Design is ergonomic, but not very elegant,Its Sony Counter part is much more sleeker
pricing for nearly all the content seems too high, especially considering the periodicals and blogs are available for free online.
black-and-white screen is fine for books, but less impressive for periodicals and Web content
lacks a true Web browser for a better Browsing Experience.
additional file formats need to be e-mailed to Amazon for conversion

Although an e-Book Reader can Never Replace a Book,It sure is a cool way to read a book.And there is some added convenience,as you don't have to carry around a lot of books.Also You can easily read the Dailies and other Periodicals Without having to carry them around.You can Download and read any book you want at any given time in less than a minute(As Claimed By Amazon ) ( Well,Only if you can afford Amazon's Prices).With its amazingly cool features,The Kindle may Rekindle the Dying e-Book Market.

Ths Sony's e-Book Reader is Much Better Looking,supports PDF and WORD files,Has Longer Battery Life and Sleek Metal casing,it doesn't have the features of The Kindle.That's Why Amazon's Kindle e-Book Reader Beats Sony's e-Book Reader to be included in my list.Well.if you want to find out about Sony's e-Book Reader Click Here

2007-12-03T15:28:00.000+05:30

One Look at the AT&T Tilt,and you will know why it is included in this list.And I'd say the name is quite fitting given that it has a slide-out screen that tilts 40 degrees for a better viewing angle.But there's more to this smart phone than an innovative design.

Let's just cut to the chase and talk about what makes the AT&T Tilt so special, shall we? From the outside, the Tilt doesn't look that much different from other high range PDAs available in the market.It has a PDA-like design and features a slide-out screen that reveals a full QWERTY keyboard underneath. However, there's one major difference between Tilt and Others is that,The Tilt's screen tilts (hence the name; get it?) up to 40 degrees, mimicking a mini laptop.Which gives you a better view of the display, and it's nice if you just want to lay it on a flat surface and read through your e-mails, work documents, or view videos.

And it is not just all about this cool new feature,The AT&T's Tilt also packs a punch in the field of performance.

The Windows 6 Mobile Edition O/S

The Apple i-Phone

2007-11-24T01:08:00.000+05:30

Apple is a company which specializes in developing products on the verge of science fiction. The iPod is a perfect example. Around 2001 the company decided to change portable music players as we know them, and pretty much succeeded. Much like the iPhone, the announcement of iPod generated huge amounts of hype and when it came out in October 2001 it actually lived up to almost every promise, turning out to be a total smash. As it developed, throughout the years, Apple's portable music player became the most popular mobile multimedia device and its reputation never seems to fade.

Following the same credo of being a feature-rich, yet simple-to-use device, the iPhone will undoubtedly build a strong fan base. It will surely attract the many "if-it-ain't-shinin'-I-ain't-buyin'" customers, since the iPhone is definitely among the most beautifully crafted mobile phones we've seen.Be it its Stunning Look or The Brand name Attached with it,Or maybe the Super Cool features it Consists of,it is Simply the Most Desirable Gadget On Earth.

I've been a fan of Apple products since I purchased my first iPod back in 2003. Yes, I waited until the 3rd generation of the world's most popular audio player was on the market before I drank the kool-aid. Two years later, I took another gulp of that kool-aid and ditched my Windows PC, for an iMac and haven't looked back. It did take me 3 tries before I finally made that switch though, as I always found some reason why the Mac OS didn't quite do it for me. And now, I find myself standing at yet another Apple crossroads in my gadget life. This time, it's with the world's most hyped mobile phone: the Apple iPhone.

After Apple broke the news that they were NOT going to allow developers to create installable 3rd party applications for the iPhone, I was pretty sure that this device would be a disappointment to me. Their consolation prize of web applications just sounded lame and equally disappointing. I've been using a Treo 680 (and previously the Treo 650) for a long while now, so not having access to great 3rd party applications is almost unthinkable, when it comes to a feature on my phone. Of course, the fear of disappointment did not keep me from standing in line on 6/29/07 to buy my 8gb Apple iPhone. But after having used this phone for a little over a week, I am to the point where I have to ask myself if this is the right device for me. Before I let you in on my decision, let's actually take a look at a phone that may have garnered more attention than Alexander Graham Bell's original invention.
