New netbook: Asus Eee PC 1008P

All the way from CES 2010 comes a new netbook presented by Asus, it’s the Eee PC 1008p.

As you can see on the image, the design and color is one of the main details of this netbook, but the specifications are also pretty good. Inside the new Asus Eee PC 1008P you can find an Atm N450 processor, an Intel NM10 chipset, a GMA 3150, and 250GB on the hard-drive. Other goodies of the fresh Asus netbook include a 10.1-inch screen with a resolution of 1024×600 pixels, a 1.3-megapixel camera, WiFi, Bluetooth, and Windows 7 Home Premium as the operative system.

Sounds good for a netbook? You can purchase it later this year.

Epson Projector EH-TW450 could turn you into this guy

If you want to play some games, on a mobile projector, who you gonna call? This Ghostbusters wannabe, apparently. This man is clad in the EH-TW450, the “ultimate gaming projector” from Epson. As you can see, it can connect to a gaming system like a Sony PS3, and then project 720p footage with a 3000:1 contrast level. Believe it or not, it costs $1,000

Aiptek’s Plastic Portable DVD Player Projector

Aiptek has made some very cool products, so it comes as no surprise that they have created a portable projector with a built-in DVD player. Granted, it may not be something that you will use for your home theater setup, but if you just want to entertain your kids when they go to grandmas, this might just be your thing.

It can project an image that is up to 50 inches on the diagonal, and it costs around $260.

MPJ-104WCE projector from Lancerlink has Windows CE

Japanese company Lancerlink has recently announced the creation of the MPJ-104WCE, a pico projector that has Windows CE built right in. In other words, you don’t have to hook this up to your computer to get 10-30 inch content on your wall. You can use it to view PDFs, with support for Word, Excel, and Powerpoint files. It is also good for video footage (WMV and MPEG-4), Music (MP3, WMA, and WAV files) as well as still shots like JPEGs and BMPs.

This device has 64MB worth of internal memory, and it is possible to update to 4GB with an SD card. It has a Samsung ARM 9 processor as well as a pair of 0.5 watt speakers. It will be on sale in Japan for a price of $580.

Sparkz pico-projector supports many devices, and charges iPhone

It would appear that the ever-growing pico-projector market got a little more competition with the Sparkz. Sparkz is compatible with the iPod (provided it has video capability), iPod Touch, iPhone (it will charge it too), console games, camcorder, PSP, DVD players, media players, as well as laptops and computers. It has a 60-inch viewing area with 640 x 480 resolution, not to mention stereo speakers and a tripod. The cost might be a little high at $495, but I don’t know any pico projectors that are compatible with all the things I mentioned above without requiring some sort of sold-separately adapter.

Toyjector mini-projector

Miniature projectors are starting to catch on, and here is a new one from Tokyo-based company Princeton. It’s pretty clear from the name Toyjector that this one is targeted at the younger crowd, or that it is just small at 50mm cubed.

It can produce images at 300 x 224 resolution with 100:1 contrast ratio and 5 lumens brightness. That might not sound too good for you, and the sound is a mere 1 Watt. At least it has a Tripod, and is available in red and white. The price is about $150, and it can be purchased in Japan or the Japan Trend shop, as well as Geek Stuff 4 U.

Yinlip’s Projector PMP

While Yinlip probably isn’t the most well known of gadget manufacturers, they deserve to be upon seeing their offerings. like the one above, their latest PMP, the Projector MP5.

This device is somewhat unique in that is has the ability to project an 80″ image using its built in projector. Couple that with its 3.5″ screen and ability to play 64 bit games and you have yourself a winner.

Unfortunately, the chance of us ever seeing this hit stores outside of China remains slim to none. Perhaps a domestic manufacturer will pick up on the technology. Please?

LG UX280 Wine Cell Phone Review–Terrific Piece

It’s not every day I get to say a lot of really nice things about a cell phone.  Seems like most of them have just about as many flaws as they do benefits, or at least, it’s close either way.  But today, I’ve got a really nice phone here that doesn’t really have any problems at all, and today, that amazing phone is the LG UX280 Wine.

The LG UX280 Wine is a flip style phone with a 1.3 megapixel camera with several features in and of itself, along with internet connectivity, Bluetooth connectivity, a USB port, a phone book with room for a thousand name and number entries, alarm, calendar, tip calculator, built in GPS and a battery offering two hundred and forty minutes of talk time on one charge.

Not only does it have all these great options, it also has one significant and highly impressive bit of design–underneath the main display, it offers four hotkeys to select commonly used features, like the camera and such.  It’s a very well designed phone that offers plenty of great options, and should be on your list should you be in the market.

The Good

Great design

Loads of features

The Bad

Could have a few more features
