Solar Sinter uses sand and sun for 3D printing

Shane McGlaun, Jun 27th 2011 Discuss [1]

A student named Markus Kayser created an awesome project for a MA Design Products project. I hope he graduates with honors simply for the coolness of this project. Kayser created a device that can take advantage of the two unlimited resources out in the desert - sun and sand. The project is dubbed Solar Sinter and is a 3D printer powered by the sun and it uses the sand as the medium to create the objects it prints. Read The Full Story

European Union Plans for Huge Solar Farm in Sahara Desert to Power Europe

Evan Selleck, Jun 24th 2010 Discuss [6]

We can safely say that there's all sorts of implementations for solar power. Even today, we saw what it could do for a soccer ball. But, let's take things a bit bigger, shall we? Start looking at the big picture, more or less. And with as grand of plans as the European Union seems to have, it may not get any bigger than this. Read The Full Story

LG GD510 “Pop”: style & solar charging, but short on specs

Chris Davies, Sep 30th 2009 Discuss [0]

Sometimes a gadget comes along that is so pretty that, when you realise it has a spec-sheet more barren than the Sahara, you can't help but tear at your chest and roar. LG's GD510 "Pop" isn't quite so bad as all that, but it's a handsome 3-inch touchscreen phone - the most compact ever with such a screen-size, they say - with a brushed aluminum body that throws out most of the things we take for granted in today's handsets. WiFi we can live without, but a handset lacking 3G? For shame! Video demo after the cut Read The Full Story

TabletKiosk dual-digitizer eo UMPCs & entry-level Tablet PC debut

Chris Davies, Sep 23rd 2009 Discuss [0]

TabletKiosk is one of those names we've not heard for a while, but the touchscreen-centric firm is back with three new Intel Atom based slates. The TabletKiosk eo a7330D UMPC and eo TufTab a7230XD are both 7-inch ultraportables with dual-type active/passive digitizers, meaning you can use either your finger or a more accurate stylus, while the Sahara NetSlate a230T is a 12.1-inch entry-level Tablet PC.

TabletKiosk Sahara i440D keeps pulling in the positive reviews: is this the best Tablet PC slate yet?

Chris Davies, Sep 4th 2007 Discuss [3]

Damn you, Warner Crocker! Here I am, having just about managed to staunch the flow of drool that threatened to drown my cat and short-circuit my keyboard thanks to lusting over TabletKiosk's Sahara i440D Tablet PC, and you go and get me all moist again with your bearded review. Read The Full Story

TabletKiosk’s storming slates caught on video

Chris Davies, Jun 25th 2007 Discuss [1]

TabletKiosk's latest slates have already made me visibly moist, and GottaBeMobile's video review of the i440D has done nothing to dry me out. The 25mm thick Tablet PC is quite the mobile powerhouse, with the sleek, no-nonsense chassis containing a 12.1-inch dual-mode active/passive digitiser, room for up to 3GB of RAM and a 160GB SATA hard-drive.

TufTab – The rugged tablet

Chris Scott Barr, Apr 26th 2007 Discuss [0]

The great thing about mobile devices is that you can take them just about anywhere. Unfortunately, that mobility can also work against you; the more you carry something around, the more opportunities you have to break it. Fortunately companies like Tablet Kiosk build their systems to take a beating. Read The Full Story

Toshiba’s supermodel Tablet on the silver screen

Chris Davies, Apr 11th 2007 Discuss [0]

It's perhaps a telling sign about the slightly conservative convertible Tablet PC market that Toshiba's R400 gets so much attention. I doubt I'm alone in thinking that, if this were a simple notebook, it wouldn't get anywhere near the cooing admiration and general pooling of drool. Still, as the old saying goes, "if dogs were made of cheese then you couldn't walk them in the Sahara" - the R400 is a Tablet, and a pretty damn good one at that. GottaBeMobile have paraded this slick monochrome monolith in front of their all-seeing camera eye, and come up generally smiling:

"If you are one of these high end guys who must have gorgeous, this one is for you. Much more detail in the video, but trust me -- this is a very nice machine, just not for the power hungry with a ULV processor and slower hard drive"

Check out their half-hour video review and see why this machine should definitely feature on every potential Tablet-owner's shortlist. Toshiba Portege R400 Convertible Tablet PC InkShow [GottaBeMobile]

More AMtek T200 info: old age explains anaemic specs

Chris Davies, Mar 25th 2007 Discuss [0]

Tablet manufacturers AMtek were at CeBIT this year, flaunting their T200 iTablet. Warner Crocker and Hugo Ortega were quick to point out that the T200 is no spring chicken; in fact Hugo has had one - in the shape of the original TabletKiosk Sahara - for over two years. What's interesting (and, I suppose, CeBIT worthy to AMtek's mind) is that thanks to a recent bios update you can now upgrade the T200/Sahara to Vista, which was previously impossible. Never one to shy away from a challenge (or an opportunity to flaunt himself to the camera - looks like Kevin Tofel has some competition!) Hugo has filmed the full Vista upgrade: [youtube 9m7F_W7Dczw] To these naive eyes it looks like now that TabletKiosk have advanced the Sahara range AMtek (the manufacturer) is now free to market the T200 themselves. I told you I was naive; Hugo tells me AMtek have no plans to directly market the T200, and TabletKiosk remain the distributor and the people to contact if you're interested in getting your hands on one. Thanks for the tip-off, Hugo! TabletKiosk i215 Sahara Slate - SlashGear [Uber Tablet]

TabletKiosk play rumble-tumble with new TufTab range

Chris Davies, Mar 21st 2007 Discuss [0]

"Semi-ruggedised" is a funny concept; I'm not quite sure what it means. It smacks of a product that you can kinda drop but not actually, that's sorta waterproof but not quite; however, I'm always willing to give a gadget a chance (especially when that gadget is a Tablet PC!) Enter our old friends TabletKiosk with their new TufTab range, designed to withstand falls of 75cm and live up to IP53 water/shock/vibration/dust standards. Read The Full Story

Have TabletKiosk made the perfect slate? Sahara hands-on

Chris Davies, Feb 14th 2007 Discuss [0]

My ageing tc1100 was already looking pretty shabby in comparison to the new Sahara slates from TabletKiosk, and having now read Steve's hands-on experience of them over at GottaBeMobile its taken to snuffling sadly in the corner of the room. No surprise, really; with dual active and passive digitisers (meaning finger touch and more accurate stylus control), easily accessed RAM, hard-drive and wireless modules for future upgrades, and a casing design not only minimalistically attractive but obviously well thought through, the i440D is edging its way to the top of the list for those considering tablet upgrades.

TabletKiosk officially launch new slates

Chris Davies, Feb 7th 2007 Discuss [0]

The new Sahara Tablet PC range from TabletKiosk, that we previewed early last month, has finally been officially announced. Not much in the way of new information, with the processor options ranging from the Celeron M ULV 423 right up to Core Duo L2500's, RAM from half a gig upwards and a choice of Windows XP Pro or Vista Business. While the two basic models, the i412T and i440T, have passive touchscreens, the i440D range-topper sports a dual-mode passive & active digitiser for the best of both worlds. Shipping will begin early March this year; price breakdown after the cut. Read The Full Story
