SONY Reader Wi-Fi

SONY has just announced their latest entrance into the world of e-book readers, what with the Sony Reader Wi-Fi – and if you are a innate fan of model numbers, you can always call it the PRS-T1.

The new Reader Wi-Fi will continue where last year’s line left off, where it is smaller and lighter now without sacrificing on recital as new and enhanced features have been incorporated. Tipping the scales at less than 6 ounces, this particular Sony Reader Wi-Fi will come with a 6″ E-Ink Pearl V220 touch screen demonstrate, where it is far smaller than your typical paperback book so that it can fit into a bag or pocket in a jiffy. To conform to Sony’s signature device releases, this one too, will come in more than one color – black, red or white.

Sony’s Reader Wi-Fi also achieves another first by being the first model that delivers wireless connectivity to the public library system in both the US and Canada over a dedicated icon on the device that enables easy and convenient borrowing of free e-books courtesy of a valid library card. Apart from that, you are able to open up your mind to more than 2.5 million titles via a Wi-Fi connection from the Reader Store, where those who want to build up their digital book anthology can do so by purchasing additional copies from a wide range of bookstores and other websites.

The Reader Wi-Fi will also sport a glare-free Clear Dual Touch screen display with E-Ink Pearl electronic paper technology, delivering a high contrast image which would be easy on the eyes, even when you are reading under direct sunlight for hours on end. Want to flip the page? That’s easily done by swiping your finger, and you can zoom in on the text through the now standard pinching gesture.

ArtStation Pro Turns Your iPad Into A Mini Home Theater

When you predictably get tired of holding your iPad while watching a movie, iLuv will come to the rescue with their new iMM514 ArtStation Pro ‘dock’ which turns your tablet into a miniature home theater. The iPad itself attaches to an articulated, swivelling arm ensuring it’s always positioned at the optimal angle. And it can be switched between landscape and portrait orientations for watching videos, or browsing a website.

The ArtStation Pro’s hefty base also incorporates what looks to be a generously sized speaker, if you prefer to use it as just a stereo. And an included wireless remote provides elementary functions like skipping tracks or adjusting the volume, while magnetically sticking to the back of the unit so it doesn’t go MIA when not in use. It’s also compatible with iPhones and iPod Touches, though it seems a little oversized to be used with those smaller devices.

View Sonic does 3D With V3D245 Monitor

ViewSonic is somewhat like the Vizio of the monitor world – they tend to roll out pretty great hardware without breaking the bank when it comes to pricing, keeping customers everywhere happy. Of course, it still lacks the clout of far more conventional brands, but ViewSonic is certainly getting there from where they are at the moment. Stereoscopic 3D is said to be the next big thing, what with huge 3D capable TVs hitting the market already for sometime, and ViewSonic jumps aboard that bandwagon with their new 3D Vision V3D245 Monitor.

Just what can you expect from the 3D Vision LED Monitor? Well, for starters, it will come with NVIDIA’s 3D Vision Wireless Glasses alongside an integrated 3D Vision Emitter which is said to usher in a new era of 3D entertainment. This will be a 24″ LED monitor, so it ought to offer more than adequate viewing real estate regardless of the line of your work – unless, of course, you’re in the desktop publishing line or are part of the digital artist mutiny.

Not only do you get to enjoy LED technology that is advanced, the V3D245 Monitor will also feature astonishing power-saving performance. Hardware specifications read in an impressive manner, sporting a stunning 120Hz frame refresh rate, ultra-fast 2ms video response time, and HDMI 1.4 input, making it more or less perfect to cater for immersive 2D and 3D entertainment – in addition to gaming, of course. When you have that work in tandem with a resolution of 1920 x 1080, a 20,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and 300 nits of high brightness, surely your eyes will be blown away by the surprising color accuracy and picture detail.

Each pair of NVIDIA 3D Vision wireless emitter that ships with your purchase can be connected to an NVIDIA GeForce-equipped PC, letting you enjoy over 550 3D games in full 1080p, 60 fps resolution. Of course, it also works great in letting you view 3D videos and photos, while streaming 3D web content to boot. Users can also opt to connect directly to the latest Blu-ray 3D players or PS3 consoles courtesy of the standard built-in HDMI 1.4 input.

Apart from that, with built-in two-watt SRS Premium Sound audio speakers, you have at your disposal what some might deem to be the ultimate multimedia entertainment display. Expect the ViewSonic V3D245 Monitor to arrive Stateside later this month for $499 a pop

New Verbatim Unleashes Ergo Mouse

Verbatim is more often than not a name which we combine with flash memory as well as portable storage (remember floppies back in the day?), but here we see them branching out into peripherals such as a mouse – specifically speaking, the Ergo Mouse. Verbatim’s Ergo Mouse will take the wireless route to keep up with the times, making sure you do not end up with a tangled mess at the end of the day.

This is an ergonomic mouse that seems to cater only to right handers as you can see from the image above, so southpaws will have to look elsewhere – or just pester the folks over at Verbatim to roll out a left-handed version! Featuring a convenient thumb maintain (for your right hand, of course), it offers what Verbatim calls to be “the ultimate comfortable computing experience.” The Ergo Mouse has an ultra-smooth, rubberized grip and scroll wheel that were specially developed with console in mind, making you control your computer easily without batting an eyelid.

Apart from that, this ergonomically designed mouse will work via the 2.4GHz wireless frequency for lag-free cursor movement. Gamers would do well to give this a miss though – especially hardcore ones, since it won’t be able to hold any macros at all, and there aren’t any weights for you to insert or remove to suit your gaming needs. This is purely a workstation mouse, to put it in a nutshell.

The Ergo Mouse will ship with a nano receiver that works great by remaining plugged into your notebook via USB at all times, so you need not worry about it snapping off on your travels or anything like that. Available in blue, red and black colors, it will be powered by a couple of AAA batteries which surprisingly comes with each $29.99 purchase. Normally, hardware manufacturers don’t throw in batteries as you would need to get those yourself. Good job, Verbatim
