The USB TV Card Player might be the easiest way to get footage from an SDHC card to your television. Of course, you have to use composite connectors, but it will support formats like DIVX, WMA, MP3, and JPEGs. It also comes with a nice IR remote.
So if you are looking for a way to get some files on your TV, feel free to head over to the Giz Fever website and lay down $53.99.
Not much is known about the new LG KE850 phone, as few details have been revealed. However, the phone was recently awarded a Product Design Award for 2007 by International Forum Design, and through them we have learned some information about the phone.
The LG KE850 is also known as the “Prada phone”. I’m not exactly sure why, perhaps because of its luxurious features. Seemingly beating the Apple iPhone to the punch, it features a large 3-inch touchscreen display. There are no buttons as on traditional mobile 
The phone als features a leather case, which contrasts with the high glossy black and metal texture deco and creates a sense of luxury. Duplicate injection technology was used for the display screen, and the body deploys glass fiber to reinforce its strength.
iF Design was also kind enough to post some pictures of this beautiful new phone, as you can see below. Click on the images to view larger versions.
Yes, these Tempo Tags are tiny clip-on watches designed to…tell time. I suppose the Tempo Tags are a sign of the times, where digital tech is applied to a paper clip.
They are about $18 for a pair of them, and you can even get one that does the temperature for about $15. The fact that they are called Tempo Tags must mean that they should be easily disposable, correct? All I can think of is how Tempo Tags will do so much more in the future like view television, do radio, make phone calls…etc.
This week saw blogs light up with Microsoft Zune Phone news and speculation.
On the 1st of February 2007 CrunchGear broke the news that a possible Zune Phone maybe coming. Then the excitement mounted and sites all over the net went Zune phone crazy, here is a wrap up of some of the Zune Phone news we found on the net:
Feb 8 - Gizmodo.com reported that Microsoft submitted some sought of wireless device at the FCC, sparking speculation that it could be the Zune Phone.
Feb 10 - After a whole week of ignoring all reports and not saying anything Engadget totally Debunked the FCC report.
Feb 10 - Then in a Newsweek interview Bill came on the scene and said there are no plans for a Zune phone in the near future:
With Xbox and Zune, Microsoft has adopted an end-to-end approach, where you write the software, design the hardware and run the services. Will Microsoft now change its mobile-phone strategy and adopt an end-to-end approach, the way Apple has with the iPhone?
No, I don't think so. People like different styling, media storage, capability [in phones]. The benefit we get from having lots of great hardware partners is pretty phenomenal. And our software can run on any one of those things.
Who knows whats happening maybe Microsoft want to keep everything very tight lipped for now or there are just simply no plans!
Remember the E-TEN Glofiish X800 cell phone which was showcased at CeBIT 2007? Yes, the same phone that boasts high speed HSDPA/WCDMA connectivity and runs Windows Mobile 6. Well, the FCC has blessed this feature-packed phone meaning it will now make its way into the hands of the consumers. The Glofiish phone can also access VoIP and video calling.
The Glofiish X800 packaging includes a stylus, battery, USB cable and AC adapter apart from the mandatory user guide and CD. The X800 has LED indicators for Bluetooth, WLAN and GPS so you can quickly see what's turned on. It also features a speakerphone. For expanded memory, the X800 offers a microSD memory card slot. The phone comes with tons of bundled software including Internet Explorer, Windows Live Messenger, File Explorer and Windows Media Player.
There's also a useful Transcriber function on the phone that lets you write anywhere on the screen using the stylus. Once you write your sentence, it will automatically change them into typed characters. The integrated GPS on the X800 is another convenient function. Combine this with the Location SMS function to immediately update chosen contacts with your current location.

Big corporate outfits are known to do their big bit in the ongoing battle against social issues afflicting the world today. To date, Microsoft and Dell have chipped in more than 57 million through their (RED) campaign to the ongoing fight against AIDS in Rwanda, Swaziland, and Ghana. In the same vein, the behemoths have now teamed up again to help customers make a difference in the fight against AIDS in Africa offering (RED) branded high-end products.
These products consist of Dell's premium XPS One (PRODUCT) RED PC, XPS M1330 and M1530 (PRODUCT) RED notebooks, and the 948 All-In-One (PRODUCT) RED printer. All RED PCs and notebooks will be powered Windows Vista Ultimate (PRODUCT) RED, making Microsoft the exclusive partner for all RED-branded Dell products. With each purchase, both the companies will contribute $50-$80 to the Global Fund and $5 Dell contribution for the RED-branded printer. All of the funds will be diverted to Global Fund-financed grants in Africa.
In case you don't know, Microsoft have sold just over 2 million Zunes already. That's like what, 1 Zune per year? Leaving jokes aside, Microsoft still haven't really made that much of an impression with this device. Last May they reached their first million and now, after an year, they sold one more million of Zune players. That places them just above Creative and lower than SanDisk and waaaaay below Apple.
Zune will never be an iPod that's clear, but it will always get some fans around the world. I am sure there are happy customers that enjoy at least this Microsoft product.
