Stay Ahead of the Tech Curve

Most people these days have houses full of digital gadgets and machines. From computers and laptops to mp3 players, televisions and gaming systems, Americans have a penchant for staying on the front edge of personal technology.

However, technology continues to move at a dizzying pace making products faster, smaller, more integrated and more efficient. To stay ahead of the curve, take a look at these product ideas given to us from Personal Tech Experts at BluePhone:

Mini Laptop - With enough processing power for most any kind of everyday use, and a small enough form factor to fit in many purses, mini laptops with screens from about seven to ten inches are a great option for people on the go, or looking for an ultra-sleek laptop computer. ASUS has been making the EEE-PC for a few years now, but has been making improvements that make them more and more viable as a true computer. Dell makes the Inspiron Mini 9, which has about the same form-factor as the EEE-PC, but comes backed by the well known Dell name. Neither one will hit the wallet very hard – both are about $300.Read more

Use SDHC from Kingston when Shooting HD Video

by jeff on Tue, 2009-03-10 00:30

The new camcorders on the market that shoot 16:9 ratio 1080p footage are nice. Real nice when you see the quality content you can produce. Most of these cameras have editing software built right in, and you can edit your footage right there on the spot. I highly recommend that you have a quality memory card in your camcorder. There is not a better memory card company and memory card manufacturer than Kingston Technology Company. Their SDHC video cards are available in 60 minute (4GB) MSRP $20, 120 minute (8GB) MSRP $36, and 240 minute (16GB) MSRP $76 capacities.

Media & Storage: On-The-Go Beyond the Home Office

By Jeff Zbar

I recall the old Apple IIC computer I used in my home office. Small as today’s notebook PCs, it had a monitor with a 8-inch screen, and a disk drive that took 5.25-inch floppies.

And that was it for memory. It had to boot up with the operating system in the drive. Once loaded, I’d have to load AppleWriter in order to process words. Want to save a doc? Slip in a floppy. Want to open a second doc? Close the first.

Today, PCs routinely have hundreds of gigabytes of storage — and even a gig or more of RAM.

But sometimes, that’s still not enough. The home officer, teleworker, telecommuter and road warrior thrives on portable storage — the ability to take stuff with you. Other World Computing’s Mercury On-The-Go high speed portable storage drive is just such a solution. Read more
