Google gears up for Google Gears for Mobile

Google gears up for Google Gears for Mobile
Google has announced its Google Gears for Mobile that allows users to access their mobile Gears-enabled web apps even when there is no Internet connection. Initially, Google Gears was only for Windows Mobile 5 and 6 devices with Internet Explorer but more and more developers are already using the Gears into their online programs and services, thanks to the developer’s guide Google came up with for the developers. Finance website Buxfer and web-based office-suite Zoho were the first to use the Google Gears. What is ironic is that Google’s own products don’t support the Gears yet but are currently in the works. Charles Wiles of Google Mobile explained that Gears is best used when you suddenly can’t connect. (Read the full post about ‘Google gears up for Google Gears for Mobile’…)

DivX certifies six more Blu-ray players
Six additional Blu-ray players have just been certified by DivX, joining the ranks of Sony PS3 that received its certification at the end of 2007. Such certification is important because it means only one thing: 25 hours of DVD-quality video can now be saved on a single Blu-ray disc. Since the end of the format war, Blu-ray has been gaining more popularity with the gadget society. Michelle Abraham, an In-Stat Principal Analyst, said: “In-Stat expects worldwide shipments of Blu-ray players to reach 23 million in 2011. DivX is well-positioned to become a standard feature on Blu-ray devices, just as it has shipped in millions of DVD players worldwide.” Looks like Blu-ray players are here to say.

Logitech releases the diNovo Mini, a remote control dressed up as a wireless keyboard?

Well yeah, the diNovo Mini looks sleek, good and your friends would definitely say “wow, what a good looking small gadget you have there!” Other than that, the Logitech does some pretty standard functions that may either impress you or make you ignore it.

Meizu M8 interface gets tweaked once again. A few pixels to the left, please?
Posted Mar 16th 2008 3:40AM by Paul MillerFiled under: cellphones, Portable Audio, Portable Video While it appears that Meizu’s infringement shutdown at CeBIT was for unlicensed MP3 usage, and not at all to do with the eerie resemblance to a certain iPhone, the company still seems eager to prove to the world it is brewing something unique with the M8 mini One. CEO Jack Wong posted a bunch of new shots to the Meizu forums with small interface tweaks that inch the OS a bit away from its iphone roots — but certainly not far.

Intel, soon to release 160GB solid state drives
Intel is reported to soon unveil their mini solid state drives with 80GB and 160GB of storage. These new solid state drives are expected to amaze because they are very small at 1.5 and 2.5-inches. Notebook PCs and laptops will be the rightful beneficiaries of the new Intel’s solid state drives sometime the next quarter of this year. No word yet on the price and when the shipping will start. Earlier at the CES, Intel had already demonstrated the solid state drives and in April, they will be shown again at the Intel Developer Forum where the drives could possibly be officially launched. Intel’s recent entrance into the laptop flash disk drive business is expected to bring the company into competition with Samsung and Toshiba who are also currently going the same path.

MP3 players celebrate their 10th anniversary!

MP3 players celebrate their 10th anniversary!
It is hard to imagine that something that is very usual and obvious now, just didn’t exist 10-15 years ago. No smartphones, PDAs, digital cameras… Even such obvious thing nowadays as mp3 player just didn’t exist then. However, when you hold your ipod or Zune in your hand, you don’t even think that this type of the device is celebrating now its 10th birthday! 10 years ago, in March 1998, was released the first in the history portable MP3 player. First company that produced such device was Korean manufacturer Saehan Information Systems, and the pioneer in the digital audio was named MPMan F10. It had a very small amount of memory - just 32 MB, a laughable amount nowadays, but back then it was a good storage capability.
