Palm Sized DVD Player

A portable palm sized DVD player is not a new concept by any means. But this model from Hammacher may just be giving a different look from the usual designs that you see out there. Most of such portable DVD players you see are of the flip top variety. This palm sized DVD player is designed much like the portable CD players of the past.

This palm sized DVD player from Hammacher measures six inches in diameter and can fit comfortably in your hand. It has a 3.5 inch TFT LCD screen in front and with built-in stereo speakers. This model also features anti-skip technology that allows you to watch DVD movies without any problems of skipping as what may happen on bumpy rides or when moving along. It also contains a USB port as well as slots for memory flash cards to allow viewing pictures or images from a PC or digital camera. Its rechargeable batteries can last up to two hours, enough to view one movie. It is available at Hammacher for US$150.

Lenovo_SkylightHigRes_full

Just in time for CES, Lenovo is preparing a new smartbook called Skylight, a netbook refination the concept. Weighing less than one kilogram and the special features of their own interface to make getting online more quickly and more easily than ever before.

This little dynamo offers ten solid hours of battery life, along with some sweet technology including ARM specification 1 GHz CPU, graphics processor, integrated GPS, Bluetooth connectivity and, not surprisingly, wi-fi and mobile broadband.

Skylight will be available starting from $ 499, which already makes me look suspicious. I could buy a pretty nice laptop for that much money, if they really think that extended battery life will make a big difference? And as for “custom interface”, my current laptop is connected to the Internet quite well, and it was just an old Dell Latitude. Sure, we all want to like the concept of streaming media into new forms of delivery of movies, too, but I do not see any provision to play your old DVDs on the Skylight.

Forgive me if I find myself smartbook not convinced that this will be the next big thing when he did not have the flexibility of choice. It all looks like from here is a castrated laptop.

Airstash

While details are still few and far between Airstash actual USB device appears as an answer to the iPhone or iPod Touch storage capacity is limited. Maybe it works by connecting over WiFi, and some how trick the iPhone to think it is a USB host device, allowing music, movies or other media to be played or used as if it was stored on internal storage devices.

As you can see it can connect / charge by USB, and what you can not see is that the infinite memory capacity thanks to the microSD card slot. We’ve shot Airstash email asking for deets and will stop by the booth at CES.

Lenovo Multimedia Remote With Keyboard Is Just $60

I just bought me a Mac Mini and with it the Logitech DiNovo keyboard with a built-in trackpad – I do the whole home theater PC case. But now, after seeing the latest product Lenovo, I began to regret my purchase, from the existing keyboard.

Lenovo Multimedia Remote with the keyboard is already on sale (a little sly intruder) for $ 60. As you’ve sussed it out of the picture combines a QWERTY keyboard with trackball. Connectivity comes via a 2.4GHz USB receiver with a distance of max 10 meters. Currently, only Windows compatible, but I assume that means you can connect to a Mac, you just will not get back the software to tweak the final settings.
