Yamaha NX-B02 portable Bluetooth speaker


With 10 watts of "unsurpassed audio excellence" Yamaha's compact new NX-B02 claims to "breaks the sound barrier" set by the plethora of portable speakers on the market offering "feeble" sound quality.

With the option to directly connect to mobile phones and laptops via Bluetooth and iPods/MP3 players via a 3.5mm input jack, the NX-B02 offers Yamaha's patented "Charged Capacitor Amplifier" technology and Yamaha's SR-Bass technology reproducing what they claim is the deepest bass ever from a remarkably small unit.

Power is supplied from the supplied AC adaptor or via batteries, options which give you extra flexibility as to how and where you want to listen.

Vodafone 7.2 USB "Stick" Modem


Vodafone has expanded its range of high-speed USB Modems with a new "Stick" design that as well as being super small and lightweight, is capable of connection speeds of up to 7.2Mbps.

But, it's worth noting that these impressive speeds - up to twenty-two times faster than that of "normal" mobile broadband - are currently only available in a few locations throughout the UK.

Coverage is continuing to be rolled out in the London districts of E1, E1W, E14, EC1, EC2, EC3, EC4, NW1, SW1, W1, W2, W8, W9, W10, W11, W14, WC1 and WC2.

In addition to the capital's coverage, 7.2Mbps can also be enjoyed at major airports such as Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, London City, Southampton, East Midlands, Liverpool, Manchester, Belfast City and Belfast International.

The new USB Modem Stick is Vodafone's smallest and slimmest yet and is no
larger than a standard USB flash drive.

It really is tiny and lightweight and to say that it offers you full-fat internet connectivity anywhere there is mobile phone coverage makes you marvel at the wonders of tech today.

With the claim that it will work out the box, the Stick is compatible with both Windows - Vista and XP - and Mac OS X so we were interested to see just how quickly we could be up and running online.

Installing the software is refreshingly easy - we used a2Ghz Intel Core Duo MacBook running Mac OS 10.4.8 to test the E172. Simply insert the CD and follow the instructions. That's really all there is to it.

It uses your default web browser to take you through the steps then places the installed software within your "Applications" folder.

To activate the device, just go to "Internet Connect", again within the "Applications" folder and select "Vodafone E172" and click on the connect button.

By all accounts, it would be even easier on a PC as you don't even need the install CD to get going.

This is a great device, that enables fast access to the internet. Possibly our only complaint, and even this is slight, is that the device itself is a little wide, so if your machine has two USB ports side by side, unless you have a USB extension cable, you won't be able to plug anything else in, as it takes up a bit of space. But, said USB extension cable is included in the pack, so just remember to take it with you.

If you're worried about someone accessing unsuitable content, Vodafone has it's own set of filters in place that restrict access to adult sites for example.

CES 2008: SanDisk announces 12GB microSDHC card


Sandisk announces at the CES 2008 a 12GB microSDHC card.

Sandisk already started shipping samples of the 12GB microSD card to mobile phone manufacturers. So you can expect mobile phones in 2008 that will support microSD cards with up to 12GB capacity.

SDHC is the designation for any SD or SD-based card that is larger than 2GB and adheres to the new SD 2.00 specification required for cards and hosts to support 4GB to 32GB capacities.
The specification was developed by the SD Association, an industry standards board, which has also created three classes to define minimum sustained data transfer speed. These cards adhere to the SD Speed Class 4 Rating.

CES 2008 officially started and we report about the hottest product releases, and there are plenty of them. We are in Las Vegas and will be covering the CES 2008 first hand.

Pocket Printer

Polaroid, the company famous for cameras that print instant pictures, unveiled an ultrasmall photo printer today at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The company’s new handheld printers produce color photos using novel thermal-printing technology developed at Polaroid spinoff Zink Imaging and first demonstrated earlier this year. (See “Printing without Ink.”) John Pollock, the vice president and general manager of digital imaging at Polaroid, says that the printers will be available to consumers by the summer, and they will be priced at less than $150.

Pollock calls the device, preliminarily dubbed the “digital instant mobile photo printer,” the ultimate in mobile printing. “When you talk about most portable printers today, you’re dealing with lunchbox-sized printers,” he says. “What Zink allows us to do is to get ultrasmall form factors.”

The printer is about the size of a deck of cards. A user who takes a picture on a cell phone or camera can wirelessly send the file to the printer using Bluetooth, a common short-range wireless technology used in cell phones, or PictBridge, a wireless technology found in a number of cameras. The result is a two-inch-by-three-inch photo printed on paper engineered by Zink.
