The new Archos 5 internet tablet is packed to the brim with features. Running on Andorid operating system it has features like:

• Web Browsing
• Wi-Fi
• Bluetooth
• Music Play
• Radio

To be able to provide all these features the Archos internet tablet can be seen as quite bulky but is an impressive bit of kit. Available in a range of memory sizes (price vary) the Archos is a Swiss army knife of portable entertainment. The functionality can be extended greatly with the purchase of a dock which allows you to record TV shows direct from your home tv ready fro watching when you have time. This is certainly a gadget to have.

The sale of the new Google Nexus One phone is isn’t very smart at all. They have only topped 135000 sales since their launch January. This is extremity poor compared rivals like the iphone which reached a million sales in the first 74 days. The iphone 3GS hit 1.6 million sales in just seven days of release.

What has Google done wrong and why can’t they beat apple in this battle of technologies. Well for starters it is only available in 3 countries and is only available to buy online from Google’s handset store. Google also handed its employees a phone each prior to launch which must have cost them a pretty penny.

The Auto Trader the UKs largest automotive website has added to its arsenal of advertising by creating an iphone app (a rather impressive iphone app might I add). The app is free to download from the itunes store. Details of cars being sold can either be entered manually or a picture taken of the vehicles number plate using the iphones camera.

The app provides a whole host of information regarding the cars for sale like:

• Photo galleries
• Car information
• Reviews
• Seller information
• Listings based on locations

This makes life a lot easier and provides a full service when trying to find that all important car.

Sony has now jumped on the bandwagon of motion gaming by introducing the motion controller. Pictures of the new devices have now been released. Sony have now jumped on this bandwagon to ensure that keep in good competition with the likes of Microsoft and Nintendo. Microsoft will soon be releasing Project Natal which like the Wii will revolutionise gaming.

The technologies are based on sensors in the controller which work in conjunction with the camera already made by Playstation the Eye. Sony claims the controller is fast and precise and will come with a whole host of games. Watch this space for a jump in console competition with these new releases.

Most people would think that the name Dyson would be sernominous with vacuum cleaners, however the billionaire inventor who made Dyson’s bag less cleaner has invented a revolutionary new desk fan that has no blades, this remarkable desk fan uses technology inspired from the bag less vacuum cleaner and hand dryers to give an impressive 405 litres of cool air per second. Traditional desk fans use offset blades to cut through the surrounding air which causes hi energy usage for low output and since the new Dyson desk fan does not use blades it’s more energy efficient and has an inbuilt efficiency monitor to keep track of the power usage. The fan is also made from a hard durable thermoplastic, so the device can stand up to harsh environments. From a personal prospective i think this is a great idea and design and yesterday when i was using my sms from pc software i sent several messages to my friends telling them about this fantastic new desk fan which is highly unlike me as i don’t usually take to new technology that well. I think this will defiantly be one of those items (although a little pricy at £199) I will keep my eye out for in the shops.

Its not everyday that your neighbour is court for creating a huge illegal film copying enterprise.

Well the other day after a long hard day at work I approached my street where there were about 4 police vans that had foriensic response team on the side. When I came closer to the vans there were 4 police officers that were bringing out a number of pcs that had been loaded with 5 dvd rewriting decks on each of them.

I stood there for about 10 minutes and there were 7 pcs brought out while I was there but they were bringing more out all the time.

I went inside my house to get changed but by the time I came back out to see what was happening there were about 10 huge boxes 1000’s and 1000’s of DVD’s in them. This must of been a huge operation.

I always wondered why the guy drove a nearly new Land Rover while living in a terrace house. I remember thinking if he had only gone to a proper DVD or CD Duplication store this would never of happened.

But I suppose then again I dont think that a company would do that if it was illegal.

The taser X3 has been introduced to the lands. This Taser is the latest and greatest thing for your security needs.

This I think is the first Semi Automatic taser gun to hit the market.

I stumbled upon this item today and I could not resist but upload it to thias site. I think this taser would probably take out a small country if needed to.

I could just imagine a little old granny walking round and getting excited at the fact that she can take out anyone with in a 10 metre radias. Granny’s of the world are out there to uniting to take on knife crime at where it hurts….. the bollocks.

You could just see it on the news where their has been a spat of old grannies being arrested and sent to prison for multiple taserering.

Is Taserering evening a word is it tasering, or tasing. God only knows.

If you can tell me what the answer please comment on this blog.

Any big company in the TV industry will bring out some new technology that will be something that you have never seen before and that will blow your mind. Sony have a load of balls falling down a san franciso street and Panasonic have people who dance round then blend into walls.

So LG have put their name in the hat by producing a HDTV has that has its own VUDU!!!!

VUDU wow so does that mean it makes all TV’s in a certain area run badly.

No far from it. What it does is bring videos from VUDU inc. which is a company who will either rent or let you buy films to watch.

I think this is a brilliant idea the only thing is that if your broadband connection is small and low capacity it could take for ever for you to recieve a film so it is good in some sense and bad in other.

Sony and Sharp have decided that sometimes two heads are better than one. They are investing £641 Million into a factory that will manufacture LCD TV’s.

The original deal was going to see Sony take a 34% stake in the factory and Sharp take the rest but it seems that Sony will be looking at taking more of a share with the way the market is at the moment.

Sony have always been the leading company for development. The only problem with their methods are that they will develop a new technology and nearly go bankrupt doing. I think that they are trying to clam that wave down with this move.

If you think back to the Playstation 2. Sony were nearly bankrupt when they put it into production, they were very lucky that the PS2 took off. Again with the PS3 they made a loss but they will make the money back on the production and making of blu-ray discs, they even take a small fortune from the sales of every game.
