Kindle in it's New Version!

Amazon Kindle is a software and hardware platform for reading electronic books (e-books), developed by Amazon.com subsidiary Lab126, first launched in the United States November 19, 2007. Two hardware devices, known as "Kindle" and "Kindle 2," support this platform, as does an iPhone application called "Kindle for iPhone."
The Kindle hardware devices use an electronic paper display and download content over Amazon Whispernet using the Sprint EVDO network. Kindle hardware devices can be used without a computer, and Whispernet is accessible without any fee.These devices also provide free internet access to Wikipedia.
On March 3, 2009, Amazon.com launched an application entitled Kindle for iPhone in the App Store for iPhone and iPod Touch owners to read Kindle content. Through a technology termed "Whispersync," customers can keep their place across Kindle hardware devices and other mobile devices.
Users can download content from Amazon in the proprietary Kindle format (AZW), or load unprotected Mobipocket (PRC, MOBI) or plain text (TXT) content. Amazon offers an email-based service that will convert HTML, DOC, PDF, JPEG, GIF, PNG, and BMP documents to AZW. It also supports audio in the form of MP3s and Audible 2, 3, and 4 audiobooks, which must be transferred to the Kindle over USB, or (on the original Kindle) on an SD card. Kindle Terms of Use forbid transferring e-books to another user or a different type of device.
Users can select reading material through the Kindle or through a computer at the Amazon Kindle store, and can download content through the Kindle Store. New releases and New York Times bestsellers are offered for approximately $10. Classics such as Bleak House sell for around $1.99. The first chapters of many books are offered as a free sample. Many titles, often classics now in the public domain, are offered for free. Subscriptions to newspapers cost between $5.99 and $14.99 per month, magazines between $1.25 and $3.49 per month, and blogs for $0.99-$1.99 per month. Users can send documents to a conversion service which will send a Kindle-formatted file to the device directly for $0.10 or to a personal email account for free.
The device comes with electronic editions of its owner's manual and the New Oxford American Dictionary. The Kindle also contains several free experimental features, including a basic Web browser. Users can also play music from MP3 files in random order in the background. Operating system updates are received over the air and installed automatically.

First Ever Flying Car!




The World's First Bio-fuelled Flying Car

For many, a flying car is but a dream. For the Skycar Expedition Team it is now a reality, paving the way for this to become a common sight in our skies. Whether you are searching for environmentally friendly practical transport or new thrills the Parajet Skycar is no longer a dream….... a machine that can drive like a car and fly like an aeroplane, capable of beating congestion for the commuter or providing a low cost method of reaching remote regions only accessible by helicopter.
We are currently building the world’s first flying Parajet Skycar and after rigorous testing will travel from London across the Sahara to Tombouctou for the maiden voyage in Spring 2009. It will be the first high performance, road legal, carbon neutral flying car capable of providing sports and rally car performance on or off the road and light aircraft performance after just a few minutes of wing preparation.
The Parajet Skycar in "fly mode" will be suspended by the latest ram-air wing and capable of take-off from a field or airstrip in less than 200 metres. It will be easier and safer to fly than any other aircraft, as it has no pitch control and therefore impossible to stall or dive. Should the engine fail, the pilot would simply glide down into the nearest field or strip of sandy desert. In the event of catastrophic wing failure, car connection system failure or mid-air collision, an emergency ballistic reserve parachute can be deployed. Performance and Safety
After safety checks and just three minutes of wing preparation the car can take-off from a field or airstrip in less than 200 metres.

The Parajet Skycar is easier and safer to fly than any other aircraft, as it has no pitch control and therefore impossible to stall or dive. In the unlikely event of engine problems, the car would simply glide down to the nearest field or strip of sandy desert. In the event of a catastrophic wing failure, a ballistic reserve parachute would be deployed to bring the car and pilot down to earth.
In “fly mode” the car will have:
a take-off speed of 60 kmph

  • a top speed of 110 kmph
  • a range of 300 km.
  • a cruising altitude of 2000 – 3000 ft
  • a maximum altitude of 15,000 ft.



In "road mode" the car will have:

  • independent 4 wheel suspension
  • rear wheel drive acceleration from 0-100 kmph in 4.5 seconds
  • a top speed of 180 kmph a range of 400 km.

Latest laptop..




The Lenovo N200 is a mid-range consumer laptop aimed to compete against the Dell E1505, Toshiba A200/205 and other laptops in that category. The N200 model is a refreshing update to the previous N100 line, with enhancements such as the Santa Rosa chipset, double the dedicated video memory, express card instead of PC-card, and Windows Vista.
The N200 is a very solid laptop with minimalistic design features. The basic silver paintjob and dark grey plastic inside don’t automatically stick out from the crowd in terms of looks. Where it really shines is build quality, ease of upgrading, and solid Thinkpad geared keyboard. The screen hinges are very solid ... which you would expect from the company that brings you the very durable ThinkPad business line. The screen latches hold the lid down very firmly by keeping a bit of tension on the rubber guards placed around the screen edges. The chassis is very nice and produces no plastic squeaks or creaks when you lift it up. The entire area around and below the keyboard is supported very well with little or no flex under pressure. Pressing firmly along all parts of the keyboard shows no sign of weakness or give.
Like others in the Lenovo line, upgrading the laptop is easy without completely dismantling the entire laptop. Each area has its own cover held in by one or two Phillips head screws. This includes the ram, hard drive/wireless card, and the CPU/heatsink area. Almost any upgrade the average or power notebook user would ever need to do to this laptop throughout its useful lifespan could be dealt with through these sections.
The N200 is a very competitive laptop in the upper middle price range. If you configure a Dell or Toshiba laptop with similar specs you will spend as much as $200 more than the N200 price ... and they still lack the Santa Rosa platform. The N200 also had nice touches like Vista ultimate and a single 2gb stick of DDR2 (quite expensive compared to two 1gb sticks) included at no additional cost. The only drawback to the N200 is its very basic look and feel compared to much more stylish computers on the market. That said, the Lenovo N200 is something to consider if you are one of the shoppers who are more interested in features and cost than looks.

We weren’t impressed at all with the Samsung Armani Night Effect as it was a bit too cheesy for our taste with its multi-colored lighting scheme and excessive Armani branding. However, this latest news that Samsung will be releasing an Armani phone loaded with Windows Mobile 6.5 later this year has definitely got our attention.
Samsung Taiwan mobile marketing department director Ryu Jae-hyun revealed this in an interview with Taipei Times. A new Samsung Armani phone is indeed in the works and it will feature Microsoft’s latest mobile operating system that’s been updated to be more competitive in the touchscreen phone era.
Apart from that, we haven’t got the slightest clue as to what this new Armani phone will pack. Nevertheless, considering that Windows Mobile 6.5 is highly centered on its new touch interface, this new Samsung Armani phone will most likely be a full touchscreen device.
That’s it for now, folks, but stayed tuned as we’ll be keeping tabs on the latest developments on this one and other announcements regarding the all-new and improved Windows Mobile 6.5 OS.
