According to Mitsubishi, the first-ever laser-powered television, LaserVue, will deliver a range of color never before seen in home entertainment.

“Today’s HDTVs display less than 40 percent of the color spectrum that the eye can see. Now, for the first time ever, laser produces twice the color. Laser beams provide the widest range of rich, complex colors, along with the most clarity and depth of field.” (Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America, Inc.)

The LaserVue FullHD TV’s are supposed to be released in the third quarter of 2008.

On TryPhone.com you get the ability to test-drive different cell and smart phones before buying them. What does the GUI look like? How can I handle the various applications and services? TryPhone.com tries to answer these questions.

“No pressure, no salespeople, no product uncertainty and no features you don’t understand. Try it, then go buy it… on your terms.”

So far you can try out the Apple iPhone, the LG Prada KE850 or 13 other devices and according to the vendor new phones will be addes weekly. It definetely is worth taking a closer look at this website - and it’s great fun browsing throug the different devices!

Today we’ll take a look at them. First we’ll start with the original, the Asus Eee PC. At the Cebit 2008 Hannover and the 3GSM Barcelona Asus introduced the new Eee PC 900 with Windows XP, Bluetooth and a 8.9-inch LCD display.

MSI Wind PC

MSI has introduced our first Eee PC rival at the Cebit 2008. There’s not a lot known about the UMPC but rumors say that the Wind PC will come with Intel’s ATOM processors and 1GB of RAM and optional SSD storage, the display will possibly have 8- or 10-inch.

ECS G10IL

Our second candidate, the The ECS G10IL UMPC comes with the latest ATOM processors from Intel and choice of SSD or HDD. The sub-$500 notebook will also come with HSDPA, 3G, Bluetooth, Wifi and three USB 2.0 ports. So the Asus challenger does not only look nice - it has also excellent specifications that could put the new EEEPC 900 at risk.

Belinea Nanobook

The Belinea Nanobook is already available and comes with the following specs:

  • VIA C7-M ULV 1.2GHz
  • 1024MB
  • 80GB
  • 7″ Touchscreen TFT
  • Skype+Bluetooth VOIP Phone
  • XP Professional

E-Lead Noahpad

The Noahpad is really a strange device. It features two trackpads side by side with pictures of keys on them. Engadget also describes that “It can also be flipped completely around so that you’re only looking at the display while the keypad is actuated with your fingers on back and navigated using an on-screen display.”

Everex Cloudbook Max

The Everex Cloudbook Max comes with VIA’s brand-new VX800 chipset and Sprint WiMAX Service, 1GB of RAM, 80 GB HDD, Bluetooth, GPS and a 2 megapixel webcam - the display has 8.9-inch. Really interesting update to the old Cloudbook from Everex, it definetely is an Eee PC rival.

Twinhead C8

Our last candidate in the long list of Eee PC rivals is the Twinhead C8 aka Gamma Tech C8 from Taiwan. It has an 8-inch LCD display and will probably be shipped in the United States and Europe with AMD’s LX-800 CPU. In Malaysia it is already been sold for $560. Another $699-version will also be available - still without OS but driver support for Windows XP.

So far no further information about the specs can be given but Eee PC geeks have waited for this moment for so long. Now they can complete their their accumulation of “Easy to Learn, Easy to Work, Easy to Play” devices by an Eee Desktop solution.

The guys from HotHardware.com believe that Eee PC Desktop should hit the market some time in the next quarter.

I think everybody has had the problem of running out of battery when chatting with a friend by cellphone. This problem can now be solved with the One Battery Emergency Mobile Torch that comes with 5 different adapeters and charges your cellphone for additional 2 hours of talktime. In addition, it is also a mini bright torch which is lightweight and compact for users to carry around.

For $21.50, this helpful device can be aquired at gadget4all.com.

Modern life has given us the possibility to connect our iPod with our car radio, clock radio or our hifi-unit. But now we can even connect our beloved TV thanks to JVC. This LCD TV from JVC comes with a dock at the front so you can plugin your iPod and listen to your favourite songs. And even the remote control is fully iPod-styled with a simulated scroll wheel.

The two available models can be bought for example at SkyMall.

This time of the Iriver E100 MP3 Multimedia Player. Besides lots of comments and details they also provide a bunch of images from the unboxing ceremony. Definitely worth a look!

“Hate it or Love it, the design of the E100 is pretty slick and simple, nice at first touch. On its top lies the microSD port, the bottom is where the USB port was placed as well as the jack (in line). The E100 is available in three versions 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB five colors (white, black, pink, light blue and chocolate). At only 59 grams and 11.3mm of thickness, it can be easily transported….

The gadget also includes FM Radio (play/record and timer recording), voice recorder (through an integrated microphone), a recording function from an external source, plus .txt file compatibility.”

According to different rumors today, HTC and Google will ship the HTC “Dream” cellphone at the end of this year with the brand new Android open source operating system. Therefore many smartphone developers are looking forward to the release of this gadget.
