ExoPC Slate Looks Vaguely Like The Apple iPad
January 31, 2010
It looks like the market certainly is getting flooded with tablet computers. Next up is the ExoPC Slate, which looks rather similar to Apple’s recently announced iPad. Since the ExoPC Slate is powered by Windows 7, you’ll be able to do more than a few things that the iPad can’t do, such as multitasking. that 8.9-inch multitouch tablet is priced at $599, which should put it on par with the 32GB iPad, in terms of price point anyways. Specifications of the ExoPC Slate include:
- Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor
- Powered by Windows 7
- 2GB of DDR2 memory
- 32GB SSD with SD card expansion.
- 4 hour battery life with the included user-replaceable battery.

Proto-2 Humanoid Robot
January 31, 2010
Robots used to look cool and all, just look at robots like Robocop, Transformers and whatever. Now it seems the trend is to build robots that look creepy, rather than cool and robot-like. The folks by at Advanced Robotic Systems Laboratories (ARSL) are busy showing off their new Proto-2 robot, and it’s just as creepy as the robots that most society are coming up with nowadays. It is designed partly to aid in the study of human-robot interaction, and thus packs an expressive face, complete with moving eyebrows and a (more) natural walking gait, thanks to a new dynamic toe-joint that they developed. whether that trend keeps up, we’re going to have to ask the folks we meet by the roadside in the future whether they’re robots.

First Mass-produced Camera Heading For Auction
January 31, 2010
Are you a huge camera collector? Well, whether you are, you’ve probably heard of the Giroux Daguerreotype camera, the world’s first commercially produced camera. that is probably your best chance to get it, as the camera, produced in 1839, will be going up for auction on 29th May in Vienna for a starting price of just €200,000 ($277,000) at the auction house WestLicht Photographica Auction. It’s estimated that the camera might end up going for as high as €700,000 ($970,000). Considering that we’ve seen an iPhone go for $3.2 million, that should be pocket change for some citizens, right? The Daguerreotype camera sports a sliding, or “double box” body. You’ll be able to achieve a fixed focus by pulling the smaller inner box away from the front-mounted achromatic landscape lens. It’s said to be in excellent original condition, and will even come with the original 24-page instruction manual, which is written in German. Do you think that camera deserves a place in your collection, or would you be better off putting that money aside from the super expensive iPhone 3GS Supreme?

Some Editions Of The HTC HD2 Have More RAM?
January 31, 2010
There is no denying that the HTC HD2 is an extremely capable and forceful smartphone, particularly with its 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU. Despite its already impressive specs, which include a nice 448MB of ram, nobody is going to complain about more RAM, right? Surprisingly, some folks have discovered that their HTC HD2 units have a little additional memory (576MB), albeit in a disabled state. Of course, it’s not like it’s a huge difference like a 1GB bump or something, but every little bit helps, right? Those of you who own a HTC HD2, have you noticed that issue?

Jupiter Jack Hooks Your Phone Up To Your Car Speaker System
January 31, 2010
Do you think that your Bluetooth headset’s volume is way too low? Well, the Jupiter Jack might be able to do something about that. It can plug into any cell phone headphone jack, and after you tune your car radio to 99.3 FM, you’ll be able to start yakking away. Volume shouldn’t be a problem anymore, as the sound will be transmitted through your car speakers. At $9.98, it’s certainly a cheap alternative to the more expensive Bluetooth solutions. Of course, the need to use the frequency of 99.3 FM only might be a downside of that, since you might be in an area that needs that channel. Still, at such a price, you can’t go far wrong.
