Talk about a gadget that can do it all. The PSP already impresses with its ability not only to play games, but its rich media playback, internet access with a very usable web browser and the ability to place calls through Skype. Now, it’s rumored that the PSP will be getting GPS navigation in the very near future.
The maps are created by TeleAtlas and will run off a memory stick or a PSP UMD. The price is expected to be between $100 and $200 and will come with a car mount and a fold away keyboard attachment. Some cities will even be populated by 3D buildings. (more…)
UMPCFever has gotten a first-look at the Aigo MID, or Mobile Internet Device. The MID, manufactured by Hong Kong company Aigo, is a hybrid between a UMPC and Mobile Phone. It is designed primarily for hand-held computing (similar to the BenQ MID) and features a touchscreen, stylus and slide-out QWERTY keyboard.
Apart from its small form factor, the Aigo MID weighs just 200g. That is even lighter than Raon’s minute Everun UMPC. The Aigo comes with a 4.8 inch display at 840×480 pixels. In tests, the device ran smoothly under its install of Linux and even sported iPhone like features such as a sliding program launcher. (more…)

At a conference yesterday, Nicolas Negroponte announced the OLPC XO-2, the follow-up to the successful OLPC XO.
The laptop is designed to be significantly smaller than its predecessor, making it more like a book than a computer, given its form factor. In fact, the XO-2 is designed to be flipped on its side and used as a book.
The device features dual touch screens this time around, allowing the device’s functions to change dramatically depending on what the user desires. Gone is the hand crank that was present in the original XO, leading some to speculate that this laptop may draw power from sunlight. (more…)
Who hasn’t seen at least one of the iPod family’s protectors? Well soon there will be just one. May I introduce the iFrogz Audiowrap family. Trendy iPod protection with a difference. Unlike the rest of the field, iFrogz Audiowrapz cases have built in speakers. They even impressed iProng–an iPod news and reviews website. Each year they pick out a product that stands above the rest. This year it was the iFrogz Audiowrapz.
Here’s what iProng says about the Audiowrapz Nano:
“The nano slides into an internal hard plastic sled, connecting to the speakers via the nano’s headphone port. …[So] at $25, the audiowrapz costs less than some competing silicone cases that don’t have speakers built-in. …[It] doesn’t chew through the nano’s battery life…
“…It’s the kind of product that audiophiles will quickly dismiss, but the general public will love it to death.”
Panasonic has just launched their new series of Plasmas, known as the PZ850 series. Like many other new Plasmas and LCDs the PZ850 is a full HD 16:9 widescreen plasma screen and comes in 4 different sizes: 46″, 50″, 58″ and 65″.
What’s unique about the new Viera series is that it has built in support for H.246 codec, which makes it possible for you to view your HD video directly from an SD card.
Other features include a native resolution contrast ratio of 30,000:1, a dynamic ratio of 1,000,000:1, 24p native reproduction, Digital Cinema Color Re-Mastering and Studio Reference Mode.
Although, the most impressive new feature would be that the PZ850 series will be Internet enabled and have access to the Internet enabling you to access services such as YouTube and Google’s Picasa Web Album. (more…)
