This is something that is going to be completely after the hearts of Transformers fans. With the new movie still around, the Transformers fever is running high. Some may think that it is a kiddy thing but they will be surprised to see how many ‘grown-up’ kids are sworn fans of the Transformers. So what is this device here?
Well, it is a USB flash drive with a twist just. It is modeled after Tigatron (A character from the Beast Wars Saga of Transformers). It is actually a very cleverly designed toy that can be folded in to a standard USB flash drive and can be folded out to show Tigatron in Beast mode. Okay, so the folded version will not look like a standard USB flash drive.
As you can see in the pictures, it looks more like a complicated puzzle than a USB drive. You can hide the USB head to make the transformation into the folded state complete. Other than the Tigatron part, it is a standard USB 2.0 flash drive.
These drives come with a 2GB memory and support all OS’s that support Universal Serial Bus. That means you can run them on pretty much all modern OS’, including Windows, Mac OS, Linux and even Solaris. It has backward compatibility with USB1.1 ports and hence can be used on a wide variety of machines. It comes with a 2GB capacity but that does not matter for the hardcore fans. It could come with a 2MB capacity for all they care.
That is because most of the sites that stock items like this cater to fans who are looking for collectibles. They want something that is a real device but they do not want to use it. This might seem a bit odd to people who are not collectors but the value of a collectible is diminished if you take it out of the original packaging.
That is why, if you visit one of these sites you might see two types of shipping. One is standard and the other for collectors. The difference being that for collectors, the company will carefully choose packages that are in the best condition. There are also grades to judge ‘mint condition’. The collectors usually demand 90% (c9) or higher. There’s an extra charge too.
So there you have it. This USB flash drive will make for a perfect gift to a fan. You can also get one for yourself because it looks pretty cool. Also available is a black ‘Razor’ model.
RIM has finally made the BlackBerry Desktop Software official. The rumors have been flying thick and fast since long before this announcement, so it surprised no one. The features look really good and include all the things that Mac-owning Blackberry users have been demanding for a long time. Back in December last year, RIM (Research In Motion – Makers of the Blackberry Line) gave Mac users the preview version of the BlackBerry Media Sync Software. That was just a teaser it but did what it was said to do quite well.
Amazon has given everyone a scare by doing something quite outrageous. It has reached in to the Kindles of many of its users and it has deleted two specific books without notifying or asking the user’s permission. The users woke up to this fact when they got refund emails from Amazon, refunding their purchase of those two books.
This is a clock that is will really get you talking. It is a clock that is meant to be talked to, so you will literally be talking to do everything with this phone. Developed by a company called Neutrano, this is a voice recognition enabled clock that can understand spoken commands. It is voice independent, so it won’t act like a trained security dog.
The DSi is pretty sleek and nice. It looks good and it feels good in your hand. You could’ve played with it for hours. You could’ve – because the battery life plain bites. To get a halfway decent battery life on the DSi, you have to lower the brightness. If you have the brightness up, it’s going to die on you very soon. So under these circumstances, it was only a matter of time before some company took notice of the growing discontent.
So this case not only extends the battery life, it also protects your DSi. However, the change to the looks is a bit off a turn off. Not many would like to do this to their DSi. The weight difference is not that much either.
Microsoft has announced that the Windows Marketplace for Mobile will support Windows Mobile 6.0 and 6.1 users by the end of this year. The company announced this at this year’s Worldwide Partner conference. Windows Mobile 6.5 support will be available immediately.
With everyone going touch these days, there was hardly any doubt ever that Sony too will soon join the race. Although a bit late following the iPod Touch, the new Sony X-Series is finally out. It is a fantastic touch screen device and with a design to match. It sports a full metal body and although it is not as slim as the iPod Touch, it is still eminently pocket worthy. The textured metal surface is reminiscent of a Geode (a kind of rock) and looks very nice. The weight also makes it feel expensive, which it is.
The navigation is pretty simple and intuitive. These days, comparing something to Apple has become a standard that cannot be helped. This new UI and navigation design from Sony is probably the next best thing after an iPod Touch when it comes to the interface. One thing is for sure though – the sound quality is much better than any iPod. That’s because that is the Achilles’ heel when it comes to the iPods – they do not sound that good to a discerning audience. If you are an audiophile, chances are that you already know this.
Sony had introduced a new FW series Vaio laptop called the FW480J/T. It has Blu-ray and that is enough reason for many people to want to buy it. But before you take the plunge, here’s quick run down of all the features that you get with it (and all that you don’t).
As for the design, Sony has always nailed it with their Vaio laptops. This laptop is no different, with an elegant design and a cool color-changing LED ring located on the hinge. The power button is also located on one side of the hinge and it looks really cool.
