By Chris Davies on Sunday, Jan 6th 2008 No CommentsEmtrace Technologies were showing off their credit-card sized widget viewer, Photoskins, at CES Unveiled, and has won a CES Best of Innovations award for the ultra-compact real-time media display.

Slingbox Pro HD to stream 1080i video come August
By Chris Davies on Friday, Jan 4th 2008 No CommentsPoor Gizmodo – they managed to get their hands on one of Slingbox’s new Pro HD media shifters, but didn’t get to actually plug it in and watch the high-def 1080i streamed video in action. Still, they’ve got some nice photos of the familiar arch shape, and the bristling input/output panel at the rear, and were able to tell us that the black casing looks better than earlier models.
X-Lay portable media player from SAFA is tiny but packing
By Christina Crouch on Monday, Dec 31st 2007 No CommentsWhy is that we want our TV’s to be huge and we want portable media players to be so tiny you have to squint to see them? It’s one of the great mysteries of the human race. In any case, there is yet another portable player to take into consideration for you teeny tiny needs.
iStation U43 PMP is amazing
By James Allan Brady on Monday, Dec 3rd 2007 1 CommentWhy is it that the companies from far away lands that no one has ever heard of are the people releasing the PMPs that could actually give the iPod a run for its money? Why can’t Microsoft, a multi-billion dollar company come up with something that a company in Korea with an operating budget likely in the millions can come up with?

Wizpy from TurboLinux is a gizmo packed with features such as media playback (MP3, OGG, WMA, AAC, DivX,) – FM radio, sound recorder, e-book reader, and photo display device. Another notable attraction of this gizmo is its computing applications that includes browser, email, and office software. The Wizpy sports 256,000-color OLED screen weight only 60g.

AppleTV gets new role as in-car entertainment
By Chris Davies on Friday, Oct 5th 2007 No Comments“Here in my car” Gary Numan crooned, “I feel safest of all – I can lock all my doors, it’s the only way to live… in cars.” Wise words from the 80s wastrel, and I’m sure he’d approve even more of the jalopy lifestyle if his ride had a built in AppleTV. The handiwork of mod-maestro Brandon Holland, it’s a custom mounting of the hard-drive-blessed media device together with a 7-inch flip-out LCD, all squashed inside his 1990 Eagle Talon.
Zune 2 Photo Leaks – Just When You Thought It Couldn’t Get Any Worse
By James Allan Brady on Tuesday, Oct 2nd 2007 3 CommentsApparently it can, and Microsoft knows just how. There appears to be 3 new models, the two smaller ones are the 4 and 8 Gigabyte sizes and the full sized one is, as best I can read the out of focus print, carrying an 80GB hard drive.
Just up front, I want to state that SlashGear has no deal with Microsoft to keep the embargo of these photos, and they weren’t sent directly to us, they are from Zune-Online.com, but the embargo was until midnight of the 3rd, or tonight for those of you who stay up late. Now on to business, its nice to see that MS is finally giving the 2nd gen Nano a run for its money, too bad they are a full generation too late. Also, the 80GB Zune, once again, a day late and a dollar short, Apple now has 160GB iPod classics.
Newtrend Electronics Produces Nameless PMP With DVB-T
By James Allan Brady on Sunday, Sep 2nd 2007 No CommentsFirst off, I want to state that I am perturbed by the fact that we still don’t have this wireless TV technology over here, sure the fact that the number of people per square mile in most oriental countries is considerably higher, allowing for a larger customer base for short range wireless devices, but still. Anyways, they have been blessed with another portable TV equipped with DVB-T and a 7” screen.
The DVB-T even supports the EPG programming guide and teletext. There is also a lengthy list of codecs supported, starting with WAV, AAC, MP3, WMA, M-JPEG, MPEG1,2,4 , JPEG, and DivX.
