Sony's DVDirect VRD-MC6 0 komentar

Sony's new VRD-MC6 DVDirect is a new gadget and it looks and acts an awful lot like the previous VRD-MC10 and VRD-MC5. It can take 1080i video with 5.1 audio off your Handy cam’s drive or Memory Stick and shoot out an AVCHD DVD that plays back on compatible Blu-ray drives like the PS3. It can also transfer standard-definition home videos to DVD discs without the need of a computer from virtually any camcorder, VCR or digital video recorder. The new model includes Digital Video (i.LINK/FireWire/IEEE-1394), Composite Video inputs, and USB (for Sony hard drive, DVD and Memory Stick media-based Handycam camcorders). DVD video discs recorded in this manner are playable in most consumer DVD players.

In addition, the VRD-MC6 can directly record digital photos to a DVD as a slideshow or just for photo storage from any of the four popular digital camera memory cards. It supports slots for Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, Memory Stick Duo and Memory Stick Pro Duo media, Secure Digital (SD/SDHC) and xD-picture card™ media, or via USB from Sony hard drive, DVD and Memory Stick media based Handycam camcorders. The DVDirect VRD-MC6 will retail for around $229 at Sony Style stores and other major retailers around the country in September.

New Gadget Mylo 0 komentar

Sony meluncurkan gadget Wi-Fi untuk pengguna yang tak mau putus dengan Internet.

Gadget yang seukuran PlayStation Portable (PSP) itu diberi nama Mylo, kependekan dari My Life Online. Sony berharap, dengan makin maraknya jaringan nirkabel (wireless fidelity/Wi-Fi) di kampus-kampus, ruang publik, dan di dalam rumah, Mylo menjadi pilihan bagi mereka yang tak bisa terputus dengan Internet, asal terdapat akses Wi-Fi 802.11b.

Mylo diperkirakan mulai tersedia hanya di toko online Sony Amerika Serikat, September mendatang. Harga jualnya sekitar US$ 350 (sekitar Rp 3,2 juta). Menurut analis pasar, ini merupakan produk pertama dari jenis ini yang menggunakan jaringan nirkabel Wi-Fi. Mylo bukan ponsel, dan tak dikenai biaya langganan bulanan. Kalau ingin membuat panggilan telepon, mesti menggunakan fitur telepon via Internet (voice over Internet protocol).

Begitu juga jika mau berkirim surat elektronik pakai saja e-mail yang berbasis web. Tentu saja tidak bisa mendukung program e-mail perusahaan. Memang Mylo disasarkan Sony untuk pasar orang muda berusia 18-24 tahun.

Untuk memberi fitur-fitur komunikasi berbasis Internet yang andal, Sony bermitra dengan Yahoo Inc. dan Google untuk layanan pesan instan. Juga dalam penjajakan kerja sama dengan Time Warner Inc., penyedia pesan instan terkemuka America Online. Untuk layanan telepon via Internet, Sony menggandeng eBay Inc., pemilik layanan VoIP Skype.

Mylo tak sekadar personal communicator, tapi juga pemutar media. Ia dapat memainkan musik digital (format MP3, ATRAC, dan WMA). Selain itu, ia dapat menyimpan serta menayangkan foto (JPEG) dan video (MPEG 4) yang ada di memori flash berkapasitas satu gigabitanya atau kartu Memory Stick yang dijual terpisah. Layar Mylo berupa layar kristal cair berwarna dengan resolusi 320 x 240 piksel dan berukuran diagonal 2,4 inci.

Hello Kitty Emergency Gadget 0 komentar

How cruel the irony of being in an emergency situation only to be saved by a Hello Kitty gadget. For Hello Kitty fans it probably couldn’t be any better, but many of the rest of us would probably rather take our chances.

This Hello Kitty electronic emergency kit contains a number of features that might actually help you out of a jam. With an apparent internal battery the device has an adapter to power your cell phone, LED flashlight, AM/FM radio, a wind-up hazard siren and of course a compass. It also has a connection on the side where you can plug in a 9-volt battery to power it up.

5-in-1 Gadget Pen 0 komentar

How many gadgets do you know actually cram in as many as 5 features in a single device? Well here’s the 5-in-1 Gagdet Pen to prove it so, featuring a pen, a mini torch, a laser pointer for your presentations, a stylus for those touch screen devices and even a bank note checker to see if anyone returns you fake $1 bills. After all, you can’t be that much of a high flyer considering the 5-in-1 Gagdet Pen retails for a mere $11, so looking out for counterfeit Benjamins is pretty much a far-fetched idea.

But help is at hand, thanks to this automatic, six shot card dispensing gadget.This curious gadget, which measures 10.2 x 6.6 x 1.4 cm, will store up to six credit cards or similar cards within its confines which can be retrieved simply by selecting the associated card’s button – the result being that the desired card is ejected from the device for use.

The device comes with a set of predefined labels – such as American Express, Visa, MasterCard – as well as a series of colour coded labels that can be applied to represent whatever you wish and it even includes a money clip on the reverse.Personally we detest it, but if you cannot live without the 6 Shot Automatic Credit Card Dispensing Wallet, which appears to be known as the AutoCard, we can advise that it is available in several colours, including (a very) shocking pink and that it retails for approximately $52 / £25 / €38.
