Internet radio is hardly a new concept, but a British invader, the Sensia from PURE, attempts to put a fresh face on the market with a color touchscreen interface and the ability to access social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter directly from the radio.
When the Chevy Volt electric car rolls off production lines later this year, owners will be able to obsess over them even when they're not behind the wheel thanks to a powerful mobile app from OnStar (a subsidiary of General Motors).
The OnStar Mobile App for the iPhone, iPod Touch, Blackberry Storm and Motorola Droid lets you monitor and control the Volt's electrical functions. It can also remotely lock and unlock the car and sound the horns for those times when you're parking space eludes you.
Touch technology is a godsend on our phones and tablets, but can it do anything innovative for gaming? Boutique PC vendor, iBuyPower, is betting so with the announcement of its new 15-inch Battalion Touch CZ-10 multi-touch gaming notebook--the first in a new series from the company.
No other specs were announced, but given that this is iBuyPower we're talking about, you can expect a hefty amount of high-end hardware options. And if you don't think 15-inches will cut it, we're told the other notebooks in the series will have bigger, heftier screens later this year.
iRiver, best known for teensy, feature-packed portable music and video players, is hopping on to the increasingly crowded e-book reader bandwagon with one of the skinniest entries to date.
Fleshing out product line leaks from last summer, the company says its Story e-book reader, to be unveiled this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, is a mere 0.36 inch thick.
The Western Digital My Book 3.0 desktop external drive will be one of the first to market with the new SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface. Announced today, the 1TB version is available for sale today; the 2TB is due later this week. So does USB 3.0 deliver on its promises? We got the 1TB My Book 3.0 into the PC World Lab, and our early results look very promising.
As an interface, USB 3.0 carries a lot of promise: Theoretically, the maximum performance of USB 2.0 was 480 Mbps, while that of USB 3.0 is 4.8 Gbps--a ten-fold theoretical increase. But in reality, the limitations of the drive itself--currently at 3.0Gbps--creates another bottleneck in the USB 3.0 environment. As such, industry experts are saying we can expect to see approximately a three-fold increase in real-world performance.
Earlier today, WD announced the latest (and fastest) member of its popular My Book external drives, the My Book 3.0. The drive is available now in a 1TB configuration.
As the name implies, this drive features the new SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface.
I'm not a frequent traveler, but I've been doing business trips long enough to be used to the three most frustrating rules for the technically enthusiastic flyer: No phone calls (unless you want to use the plane's over-priced service). No decent entertainment. And no Internet.
While the first is still pretty much in force, the second rule was broken some time ago, thanks both to the back-of-the-seat inflight entertainment supplied by an increasing number of airlines and to our current ability to run videos on computers and smartphones. And now the third rule is starting to shatter as well, as Internet connections become available on plane flights.
