Hyundai PROVIA A7 Navigation Device

This cool-looking gadget is Hyundai's new navigation device slated to be released something this February although the price isn't known yet. The high-end PROVIA A7 runs on Intel Monahan 806 MHz processor and is meant for the Korean market. The PROVIA A7 impresses with a 800x480 resolution 7" LCD monitor. It has the capability to support Navi in Picture functionality and both T-DMB and TPEG service. The PROVIA A7 comes with a joystick, an AV output, a USB 2.0 port, and a 300mAh detachable battery pack.

160-megapixel digital camera

What are the most important features of a camera for you? At present compact, multifunctional and stylish digital cameras are generally considered as the best ones. All these three features serve as the main criteria while someone is choosing which one he/she should buy. However, some companies trying to invent a high-end device neglect some of these criteria. Do you pay much attention to pixels while choosing a camera? Do you believe that the more pixels a camera has the better will be the quality of photos?

Seitz company, for example, created a 160-megapixel 6 x 17 inch camera that is considered to have the highest resolution among all the digital cameras. In addition to the fact that this gadget looks huge it is probably heavy to carry and shoot with. Apparently one full resolution image taken with this Seitz camera will take up approximately 900MB. So a simple memory card won't be enough for you to make even a few photos.

The Seitz D3 Digital Camera impresses not only with its sizes (6 x 17, 4.5 lb), but also with its features. This gadget takes pictures with resolution of 7,500 x 21,250 pixels, that is to say 160 MP. The Seitz D3 Digital Camera is combined with a tablet PC, which works with it, making the whole process easier and more reliable in service. But in case you really like extremely high resolution image be ready to buy a portable hard drive for this purpose. Nevertheless, that's not the half of it. Such a high-end gadget costs about $ 45,000.

Of course it's great that now you have the possibility to possess this high resolution camera. Yet I'm sure that there is hardly someone who really needs this stuff. Moreover its price is so high that just quite a limited number of people can afford it. As a result I would like to say that to buy this gadget means to make one of the most irrational purchases in the world.

DLO's iPhone-shielded Portable Speakers

Recognize this sound? "Blip da da blip da da blip da da blip da da bliiiiiiiip." If you answered yes to any of the preceding questions, you may own an iPhone. The little bugger wreaks havoc on your average unsuspecting, unshielded desktop speaker -- and most iPod docks, as it turns out -- emitting audible blasts of interference from up to three or four feet away. Luckily, the DLO Portable Speakers for iPhone don't have that problem, since they're shielded from TDMA interference. You can power 'em off of AAA batteries or an AC adapter, and since they plug into the iPhone's headphone jack, you can use plenty of other audio sources. The speakers detach from the rotating base, and you can even use the setup as a speakerphone if you'd like. They're out now for $50.

LG GSA-E50L

LG must have been hiring fashion designer lately to help design their product lineup. There was the Chocolate, Fantasy monitors and even Red-Ringed LCD TVs. And further adding to do that list of beauties, is the new LG GSA-E50L external optical drive.

The drive is enclosed in glossy plastic with a white rim in between the top and lower half of the drive. It look very very classy and stylish in its black, white, penguin-like glossy combination.

The design is simple with only one button for ejecting the tray from the drive. The drive is powered by a USB port. You can also get an adapter to power the drive up since it has a 5 volt DC connection next to the USB port. The drive supports every available media format in market, and yes, it can suppor DVD-RAMs. Since this is and external drive, read and write speeds are much slower than its internal counterparts. The LG GSA-E50L can write up to 24x on CD-Rs and 8x on DVD-Rs.

Panasonic’s 103-inch

Remember the Panasonic’s 103-inch plasma TV? It was once the world’s largest Plasma TV but it has been replaced by the 150-inch model this year announced at CES 2008. Anyway, if you wonder anyone would spend that sort of money to get a $50,000-$80,000 plasma instead of a projector, think again. The news from Far East reveals there have been 15 of them sold worldwide from US, Europe to Japan, and 5 of them were sold to a man from Middle East. But they are still far from reaching the 5000 units target, the 150-inch replacement seems to be a better and more logical choices over projector. Time will tell.
