Sarotech iStor i3 is a USB 3.0HDD enclosure that’s silent as alamb

When you look for storage options,
you wouldn’t want to go in for
anything that would jeopardize
your data in any means. That’s
why cooling is a priority and hence
fans and all the noise. Sarotech
have rolled out a new series of
HDD enclosures that make sure
that the hum of fans isn’t all that
much of a problem. That’s since
they’re going solo. The iStor i3
HDD enclosures is available in
1TB, 2TB and 3TB versions.
It doesn’t have any price
attached to it as yet. But it is
expected to roll in to Korean
markets pretty soon.

Air-conditioned shoes keep yourfeet breathing free

Temperatures in Japan tend to
sore, and that’s pretty much the
case in most parts of the world
closer to the equator. It’s no
wonder really, that the Japanese
keep coming up with new and
fascinating ways to keep yourself
cool while on the go, away from
the comfort of the air-
conditioner back home. The latest
on offer is these air-conditioner
shoes that showed up at a Tokyo
shoe store lately by Hydro-Tech.
the shoes use new filter
technology that releases the heat
and humidity and allows air to
flow in keeping feet refreshed
and cooled. This is yet another
attempt to have Japanese men
switch to cooler clothing, instead
of having offices run air-
conditioning systems round the
clock, in a bid to save up on
energy.

BlackBerry Playbook, the firsttablet to be certified for U.S.Government use

The BlackBerry Playbook might
have received a load of criticism
after its release given the fact
that it packs a ton of
shortcomings. The U.S.
government however thinks
differently, certifying it to be
the first tablet that will be used
officially by the government
itself. The tablet by Research In
Motion earned a FIPS 140-2
certification from the National
Institute of Standards and
Technology and is the only tablet
around to receive a certification
as such, giving it the thumbs up
for official government usage.
The PlayBook was frowned upon at
its release, given the fact that it
requires to be connected or
bridged to a BlackBerry
Smartphone in order to operate
fully, making it a dependant
device unlike most tablets raging
across the market today.

Toshiba Regza 32BC3 HDTVconcentrates on energyefficiency

Toshiba have brought forth the
Regza 32BC3 HDTV that will
introduce new dimensions in the
world of eco-friendly televisions.
The screen will sport an
impressive resolution of up to
1366x768, on the IPS panel with a
contrast ration of 1,100:1, a
digital TV tuner, and recording of
media via USB. That’s pretty
much the add-ons to the USP of
the HDTV. It’s the Power Saving
Button that takes all the
limelight. A single press reduces
the TV’s brightness by up to 75%,
without hindering the image
quality. Totally swell!
Whatever happened to the whole
green-rush that we saw among
screens not more than six months
ago? Does everything take to
conformity, finally? We hope
Toshiba inject some new
stimulation.
