HOT GIZMOS Phone, printer, PVR and a monitor scream for attention
|
We have a soft spot for all things instant
- instant coffee, instant messaging and
instant pictures. But Epson's latest offering
takes our fetish to a new high: aesthetically
designed, the TX700W not only boasts of all
the trappings of a good printer- a 2.5-inch
LCD screen, integrated Wi-Fi and Ethernet
connectivity and print quality that is said to
last up to 200 years - but can also print on
a variety of media from paper to CD to DVDs
with a print rate of 10 seconds fl at. Bring it on!

G-TALK
Revamping isn't the forte of only
FMCGs, tech companies too take this little management cookie seriously. After all, an
update always has a better chance at leaving the shop rack sooner than the first
launch. Now, that should explain BenQ's new line. A true aspect ratio of 16:9,
dynamic contrast ratio of 40,000:1, screen options from 18.5 inches to 23.6 inches and
resolution of 720p to 1080p - it's great on paper, but given the serious role that a
monitor has to fulfill, we're still looking to test the Senseye+photo to give BenQ
G-series LCD monitor the thumbs up, so it can become the object of our affection.

PVR IN A BOX
TViX's R-2200 is tagged as the smallest
PVR box in the world, capable of capturing
analogue streams to MPEG2 format. PVR
functionalities aside, it can also play XviD,
MPEG4 and MPEG2 vids at 1080i resolution. It
allows creating a virtual DVD library by storing
DVDs in ISO format. There are two USB hosts
ports, which allows you to connect other USB
devices to it and copy data directly.

AND(ROID),IT’S BACK!
It’s finally a (paper) reality! After months of wait, Samsung has made a “European launch” of its first Android-powered mobile, the i7500.
Dressed as a candy bar, Sammy’s young one packs in the full suite of Google services, a 3.2-inch, 320x480 pixel AMOLED touchscreen, Wi-Fi, GPS,
a 5-megapixel snapper with LED, 8 GB of storage (expandable to 32 GB), and a standard 3.5-mm headset jack.
Plus, this 11.9-mm slim phone is quad-band and supports 7.2Mbps HSDPA. Gosh! That’s quite a checklist. So when is the Indian launch, Sammy?
