After long expectations, Samsung released the Blue Wave firmware update for its P2 and T10 PMPs. The awaited firmware features Bluetooth support that enables wireless file sharing with other Bluetooth supported devices. In addition, the new firmware allows Bluetooth phone integration, so you can handle your phone from the player. The recent update also improved the touchscreen respondency, the brightness adjustment, the album art and more.
WowWee presented a new line of cool robots, at the CES show in Vegas. One of the most attracting robots within their line is the Rovio. This advanced surveillance machine is equipped with a multi functional WiFi webcam connection, allowing you to spy or surveil after your home or office remotely from any web accessible device, including your laptop, Archos 605, Cell phone, iPod Touch, PSP console and more. The Rovio is able to stream the video signals directly to your handling device and can interact audibly with people nearby. It even can coordinate its location accurately, thanks to a built-in navigation system. The Rovio will be available in summer time for $299. Cool!
Pinnacle is about to unveil a new video transfer box, at CES 2008. This unit can transfer any analog video source directly to a USB 2.0 storage device, such as USB flash drives, iPods, PSP consoles or external hard drives with USB connectors. The box has a built in audio input, s-video/composite outs, and the transfer is recorded with H.264 video format. The device should go live somewhere around the middle of January, for 130$.
It seems that many manufacturers got envy with the enormous success of the Asus Eee PC and wanted to have one of their own. The new UMPC series, from Kojinsha, is equipped with AMD Geode processor, 7″ 1024×600 resolution and a GPS navigation system. More info will be revealed at the CES show and I’m guessing we will see more of those during 2008.
