Archos 3 MP3 Player

Archos has presented the Archos 3, a new portable media player. The ARCHOS 3 vision is the latest in a new line of MP3 players, with an impressive 3” tactile screen that covers the whole surface of the device. You can access all your favorite features with the brand new virtual wheel selector, which provides a whole new browsing sensation. No matter where you are in the media library your favorite feature is only a spin away.

The Archos 3 vision is extremely compact and lightweight and will easily fit in pretty much any kind of pocket. Yet it’s so pretty you may want to show it off instead of hiding it there.

Compared to the successors Archos 5 and Archos 7, this version Archos 3 is less complicated on the interface factor. The Archos 3 also provides you with an integrated FM tuner, digital clock and audio recorder to record voices to its 8GB storage.

The revolutionary feature incorporated into Archos 3 Mp3 Player is the “virtual wheel” selector which supposedly makes navigating straightforward. It’s unclear whether the wheel is an on-screen thing, perhaps a translucent overlay, or involves what looks to be a touch-sensitive button on the lower front panel. Finally coming to the quintessential factor - storage, Archos 3 MP3 Player provides a storage of 8 GB that can store up to 4000 songs. The battery life is said to be 4 hours and it is said that the player will be priced around 100$.

Thanko MiniJEC1 Mini Projector

Thanko has released a new tiny projector, which measures 61 x 37 x 60mm and weighs in at just 142g. This tiny projector lets your project video from your iPhone, iPod, or PC and it can project an image up to 45 inches with a resolution of 640 x 480.

Weighing in at just 142 grams the Thanko MiniJEC1 is latest pico projector to fly out of Japan. With an almost cube like quality the Thanko MiniJEC1 pico projector still fits snugly in even the average size gadgeteer's hand and while the 200:1 contrast ratio is pretty low the resolution matches the current micro projector highest resolutions at 640×480.
The throw however is our greatest concern with this nicely designed pico, its rumored a 14 inch screen takes a distance of 60cm to produce, however this might not matter depending on the user and what its mostly projecting onto.

Finally, this Thanko MiniJEC1 pico projector is nothing new in terms of technology. Still it does have a more substantial design appeal, if they can improve on the lens and contrast ratio, then the Thanko MiniJEC1 Mini Projector maybe onto an early winner.

LG enV Touch Review

LG has come up with a new phone the "env Touch" which I feel is a diversion from LG's recent range of sweet named phones like cookie and Lollipop! Following the successful launch of phones like Voyager, LG has released the LG enV Touch, which is the new and improved successor to the Voyager (despite the enV name).

The enV Touch is much improved over the Voyager, but still has the similar clamshell form-factor with internal QWERTY keyboard. Both displays are now 3" diagonal, with WVGA 480x800 resolution and support up to 1.6 million colors. You can really see the difference. Naturally, the external display is touch-sensitive, but seems to require more pressure than the LG Versa, about the same amount as the LG Dare.

Talking about the features of this wonderful phone, LG env Touch comes with a side clamshell form factor ,non-touch 3-inch display, Full Qwerty keyboard, 3.2 megapixel camera with auto focus, Bluetooth and slot micro SD.
The QWERTY keyboard in LG env Touch has undergone a few changes, and now has a single space key in the middle, instead of two on either side. The keyboard buttons also more curved around the edges and the d-pad is slightly larger. The camera is now up to 3MP and features auto focus, LED flash, and a Schneider Kreuznach lens.
All in all, the LG enV Touch is a worthy successor to the Voyager. The handset’s feature-set gets a fair amount of upgrades, so if you owned the original Voyager, you’ll be happy to see the new upgrades. The handset is available for $149.99 after a $70 rebate and 2 year agreement.

Sony Alpha DSLR-A100 Camera

It is always believed that sharing knowledge and combinational effort always gives good results, and that is the point with the all new Sony Alpha DSLR-A100 Camera. In July 2005 Konica Minolta and Sony entered into a treaty that focused on technology sharing between the electronics and photography giants. The treaty stated that they were to jointly develop digital SLR cameras. This agreement hinted at shared technology between the two companies such as auto focus, metering and Anti-Shake coming from Konica Minolta and sensors, electronics and batteries from Sony.
It was believed that this is the beginning of a new era of photography products combining excellence in technology and accessory features. But to everyone's surprise, some six months later Konica Minolta announced that they were withdrawing from the camera business and had transferred certain camera assets including the Maxxum/Dynax lens mount and related SLR technologies to Sony.Almost a year on since that first announcement we have the new Sony Alpha DSLR-A100, a compact, ten megapixel (CCD) digital SLR with a (Konica) Minolta lens mount, Anti-Shake (now Super SteadyShot) and a definite cross-breed appearance. It's fair to say that while this camera may share some components with previous Konica Minolta digital SLR's Sony's involvement has brought external styling, build quality and finish up to a higher standard. The lens mount is to be called the 'Alpha mount' and Sony has announced no less than 19 lenses which will carry the Sony Alpha branding (although many are based on existing Minolta lenses).
