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.

Dark times in Nokialand

We expected this to come soon but
Nokia still did all it could to
swallow the rice-balls and fruit
hurled at them from Samsung and
Apple, who have been hot on their
heels. The title of being the single
dominant retailer in smart phone
volume sales has been just about
up for grabs recently. Finally it
has hit the Nokia base with a loss
of £424 million. There has been a
heavy, 34% drop in the sales of
smart phones from the maker,
pulling Nokia to third place,
behind the new big-guns in the
smartphone industry. Stephen
Elop of Nokia confidently stated,
"I believe our actions to mitigate
the impact of these challenges
have started to have a positive
impact on the underlying health
of our business."
So there is some light at the end
of the tunnel, and Elop agrees,
"Most importantly, we are making
better-than-expected progress
toward our strategic goals." We’re
still waiting for the Windows-
powered phones to fully grip us.

Motorola Defy to get worthyupgrade

Back then in 2010, when the
Motorola Defy rolled into our
midst, we loved the way it handled
all the rude handling with a body
that was rugged enough to handle
anything, the affordable price
tag and the brilliant Google
Android backend that made
everything so beautiful. Now,
Motorola have decided to give the
phone a facelift to the Defy with
an enhanced version that will
upgrade the firmware and
upgrade the process. So the
800MHz OMAP 3610 CPU will be
replaced by a 1GHz OMAP 3620
one. The Froyo platform will be
released by Android 2.3.3
Gingerbread. So it is safe to
believe that the 5-megapixel
camera, 3.7-inch screen, 512 MB
RAM and 2GB internal memory
will remain intact on the spec
sheet.
There’s
no
telling
as
to
how
much
this
version would cost. However, what
we do know is that the report
seems to be almost true now that
Motorola have neglected the Defy
for so long.

Shelby Tuatara Supercar willsurpass Bugatti Veyron with275mph speed

All this while it was the Bugatti
Veyron Super Sport that has
been gloating over its title of the
world’s fastest production car in
the world with a top speed of 268
mph. but looks like Shelby
Supercars is going to rob away
that pedestal from Bugatti with
its Tuatara supercar that is
reported to touch the roaring
speed of 275mph. The name
actually translates to a reptile in
Maori language which means
‘peaks on the back.’ We find the
name quite befitting owing to the
fact the car has winglets on the
back.
The Tuatara lizard is known for its
fastest evolving DNA in the world
and hence the makers couldn’t
think of a better name than this
one. The body of the car is
crafted out of carbon fiber and
wrapped around a carbon chassis
too. Its crash structures are made
from aluminum whereas the
wheels are again made of carbon
fiber. The engine here is a twin-
turbocharged 7.0-liter V-8
developing upwards of 1,350
horsepower, and drive will be sent
to the rear wheels via a seven-
speed manual transmission. No
word on pricing and availability
yet.

Wikitude Drive brings AugmentedReality Navigation for Androidsmartphones

Wikitude Drive brings Augmented
Reality Navigation for Android
smartphones
Wikitude is bringing the wonders
of augmented reality to your
phone in a new setup called as the
Wikitude Drive. It’s quite similar
to its AR internet browser, but
this one also overlays the driving
directions on top of a live image
of the road, the one you captures
using your smartphone’s camera.
It also gives one the option to
include the usual Pol data thus
you would know where the next gas
station or food joint is.
The app also features the
standard view and voice-based
turn-by-turn commands with a
pedestrian mode in case you
decide to go on foot. The reason
this app will work great is because
you don’t have to really take your
eyes off the road when you check
for navigation instructions on the
handset. As of now it is available
in Canada, US and Mexico for a
price of $9.99. it is expected to
be available for folks from UK,
France, Italy, Spain, Austria,
Germany, and Switzerland
sometime during this year.
