G-Screen Space Book Dual-Screen Laptop

Just so you know that you are not dreaming, you are seeing a laptop with dual screens. I’m appealing convinced that someone has perhaps invented this before, as who wouldn’t want a dual-screen laptop? After all, I usually have three windows going on my laptop at any given time.

The gScreen SpaceBook has two 17.3 inch screens. It also has a quad-core Intel Core i7-740M processor, 8GB of RAM, as well as a NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250M video card. 

Does that sound good to you? It certainly does to me. Right now, I am in the process of culture how to create apps. I could sure use a dual-screen laptop for my work. Here is the downside: it weighs in at ten pounds.

Yeah, I’m not certain if I want to be lugging around something that heavy, and I wonder if most laptop bags can even handle that weight. Just so you know, the screens can fold up together and you could have a single-screen computer if you want. 

The gScreen SpaceBook (not to be confused with Facebook) is available for pre-order for about $2,795. That is pretty expensive for a laptop, and it reminds me of the days when laptops used to be very heavy and cost quite a bit. Taking into consideration that those old-school laptops laid the underpinning for the laptops that we have now, perhaps the SpaceBook will set a similar standard. Perhaps we are looking at a future where every laptop has two screens. I say, why not four?

Sony HD-PG5 External Hard Drive

To hear the name Sony related with the world of external hard drives is something not everyone has come across – in fact, many of us would be wondering, just what the heck is Sony doing in the world of portable storage? Sure, they have had their fair share of fun with the Memory Stick range, but apart from flash memory, what else do they have on offer?

The order of things seem set to change as the consumer electronics giant has started to bring its first external hard drives to the market in the form of the HD-PG5 series, where these drives are compatible with the BRAVIA TV range as well as other devices from Sony’s catalogue. To know more about what the Sony HD-PG5 is capable of, you can always check out the extended post.

The new Sony HD-PG5 series will have on offer another 500GB of storage space at your disposal – while it is still a far cry from the 1TB and above models that you see on offer by other manufacturers, at least it is a start. Heavy torrent users would definitely welcome this additional space, although I believe that they will fill it up far too easily with the amount of content available these days.

Using USB connectivity, the HD-PG5U will be able to hook up to compatible BRAVIA models, which means you can directly record HD TV programmes from the TV’s tuner or connected cable/satellite service – sounds like the perfect gift for dad who keeps on missing his shows, no? Another advantage is this – there is no need for you to experience a steep learning curve.

Apart from that, the included USB adaptor cable will also pave the way for easy ‘PC-free’ transfers of video footage from compatible Handycam camcorders with Direct Copy function, where among these include the new DCR-SX21E and DCR-SR21.

You can choose from black or white finishes, where the Sony HD-PG5 will be a snap to tote around at just 180 grams. Placing them beside your PC, BRAVIA TV or PS3 doesn’t matter, it will still look as though it was part of the consumer electronics ecosystem. No idea on pricing as at press time, but it will arrive in the UK, France and Germany from the middle of this month onwards

Darth Vader DJ Stereo Headphones

I guess that one of the enforced musical tracks that need to be listened to if you were to stick together the Imperial Army when Emperor Palpatine and his trusted right hand man, Darth Vader, ruled the cosmos, would be the imposing March. If that is the case, then what better way to listen to such an awe-inspiring piece of music than with the Darth Vader DJ Stereo Headphones?

Boasting 40mm thumping power drivers that has the Dark Lord of the Sith himself being “attached” on the side of each headphone, you will also have the Empire insignia printed on the soft pliable headband to show to the world, nay, galaxy just which faction you are rooting for. The headphones itself will be black in color – no questions about it, sporting a 75″ long insulated cord, and will play nice with smartphones, MP3 players and other devices that rely on a 3.5mm port.

HP Announces Touch Pad 4G on AT&T

The tablet industry is definitely heating up, as it no longer remains the domain of the Apple iPad (and its successor, of course) any more. With Google’s Android operating system (and their efforts in creating a tablet-centric version with Android 3.x Honeycomb) being widely adopted by tablet manufacturers, those results are creeping closer and closer towards the iPad standard in some aspect, while depending on the kind of hardware thrown in, beats out on the iPad to boot.
HP enters the tablet fray not fueled by Android, but rather, they very own operating system – webOS. Not only that, HP intends to make a splash with their TouchPad 4G by debuting it on AT&T, making sure it is capable of remaining connected at all times thanks to a built-in wireless mobile broadband. As for the rest of the specifications, you would do well to read on.

The HP TouchPad 4G will be powered by a relatively speedy 1.5GHz processor that has 32 GB of internal memory, built-in GPS navigation capability, and Wi-Fi for moments when you do not want to rely on the integrated wireless mobile broadband capability. After all, why bother eating into your data plan when you can always hitch a ride on another person’s network, right?
David Gee, vice president, Marketing and Enterprise Solutions, webOS, Personal Systems Group, HP, says, “TouchPad 4G is ideal for anyone who needs maximum flexibility for productivity on the go. It’s particularly well suited for users who rely on connectivity in the field – from large corporations to small businesses and self-employed mobile professionals.”
The TouchPad 4G will also support Adobe Flash Player Beta, while you can keep in touch with family and friends via video calls if the need arises. Apart from that, the TouchPad 4G can also print documents, photos and other images sans wires, where it will obviously work best when connected to compatible networked HP printers.
There is still no word on pricing or availability just yet, but we do know that it will come sooner rather than later. Are you all stoked up yet?

Mini Wireless Mouse with Matching Mouse Pad Travel Pouch

We have written about the Smartfish Mouse Pad Travel Pouch before, and it was made for products like the Whirl Mini Laser Mouse.

I got a chance to try them both out. I can honestly say that I like the Whirl Mini Laser Mouse with its unproved ErgoMotion pivot system. The company says that it is like “floating in air”, and the mouse tilts to familiarize yourself to your wrist, which helps eliminate static joint pain.

The Mouse Pad Travel Pouch is also handy, as it can zip up to become a pouch for the Whirl Mini Laser Mouse. When unzipped, the Pouch becomes a 9-inch diameter mousepad, which is also handy for when your mouse doesn’t react well to your table surface.

The only thing I didn’t like about using these products together is that the Smart Whirl Mini Laser uses a wireless dongle. I am not comfortable with the idea of storing the Whirl Mini in the Travel pouch with the very small dongle. I feel like the dongle is just doing to get easily misplaced in the pouch, and then what will I do with the mouse? Does anyone know if it is easy to replace those wireless dongles?

Perhaps if there was a zipper pocket or even a small-sized pocket to store the dongle, then it would be a marriage made in heaven. As it is, it is quite a good marriage here on Earth.
