Toshiba Pocket LED Projector at IFA 2008

Posted by Charbax on 31st August 2008

Toshiba shows this amazing real pocket projector product they are calling the Accessory Type pocket projector. It outputs at 10 lumen for up to 2 hours on a battery. Be careful not to turn it on by accident in your pants or you might get burnt. Otherwise this is awesome, imagine having a projector like this with a retractable mirror and a digital pen, this could be a pocket sized large screen computer interface solution (see my video of the Yahsin Projector and digital pen concept).

Toshiba R500 Laptop at IFA 2008

Posted by Charbax on 31st August 2008

This business high end Toshiba Laptop has been out for over a year, but it’s still cool to check out. It’s light at below 800 grams, has a sunlight readable transflective LED backlit screen, a quite long battery life, long WiFi diversity antenna range, several security features including fingerprint recognition and Bluetooth proximity laptop activation. It’s still expensive though.

LG Secret review

Posted by Charbax on 21st August 2008

This is LG’s latest new black design, durable and cool looking slide-out camera phone with a DivX Mobile certification, 120fps slow-motion 320×240 video recording, direct to Youtube HSDPA video upload, 5 megapixel photo camera with flash. With a tempered glass to protect the screen against keys and coin scratches in the pocket, Carbon fibre casing to make it durable against drops, bangs and other misuse. It has touch-screen mode only for some of its features, otherwise it has a blue neonlight touch interface below the screen.
