Budget Phone with 1.3 MP Cam by Virgin Mobile

Virgin Mobile has unveiled its vKewl mobile phone with Video Recording capability. The handset is, according to the company the only handset in its price range with a 1.3 mega pixel camera that comes with video recording capability, lifetime incoming validity and a prepaid connection. Other features also include an MP3 Player

and an FM Radio.

M. A. Madhusudan, Chief Executive Officer, Virgin Mobile India said, "The mobile phone is a lifestyle device for youth and has become an extension of their personality and entertainment requirements. Keeping this in mind, we have now made facilities such as video recording and a 1.3 mega pixel camera more affordable for youth so that they can capture and share impromptu moments spent with their friends and family without hurting their pockets".

The handset comes equipped with a 1.8-inch TFT LCD sporting a 176 x 220 pixel resolution display with 262k colors. It comes with preloaded games, a microSD card slot for memory expansion, WAP and can also be used as a modem.The handset is priced at Rs. 3, 499.Source

Luxury Edition MOTOMING

The latest MOTO MING from Motorola, the A1600 packed with GPS capabilities, was launched in India last month. For some inane reason though, apparently not taking into considering the current state of the world’s economy, the company has recently unveiled a new version of the A1600, a Luxury Edition in Gold that, according to reports, comes with a Cartier business card holder.

The handset, that I’d like to call the Ming with Bling is available in Taiwan for an outrageous price of Rs. 42,995 ($867). I’m wondering if mobile manufacturers really get the word 'recession' with handsets like the INNOV8 and HTC Touch Pro being launched in the country.Source

Buffalo Inc has launched its LinkStation Quad, which provides large, secure and remotely accessible storage.The LinkStation Quad allows consumers to share multimedia files and other digital assets securely from any computer on their home network.
The LinkStation Quad is empowered by RAID technology and comes with a massive storage of 1 TB, 2 TB and 4 TB.

The storage box features a new BitTorrent client, enabling consumers to access and download multimedia files without the need of a PC running during the download and a built-in DLNA multimedia server, which can stream digital content directly to any DLNA player on the network. LinkStation Quad also supports easy upload of multimedia files with a DirectCopy feature to automatically save multimedia files from any USB enabled camera, flash or storage device directly to its internal hard drives.

Quad also has Buffalo's anytime, anywhere Web Access feature which is optimized for the iPhone

The LinkStation Quad is environment friendly with heavy-duty cooling system, allowing the unit to run cool and quite at the same time. A snap-off front plate allows for quick and easy drive replacements without the need to shut down the unit.

Backed by a three year warranty and toll-free technical support, the LinkStation Quad will be available in the Indian market in the month of November at an estimated street price of Rs. 29, 600 (1TB), Rs. 39, 400 (2TB) and Rs. 62,700 (4TB).

Intel's i7

Intel Corporation unveiled its most advanced desktop processor ever, the Intel Core i7 processor in the country today.

The Core i7 processor is the first member of a new family of Nehalem processor designs and is the most sophisticated ever built, with new technologies that boost performance on demand and maximize data throughput. The Core i7 processor speeds video editing, immersive games and other popular Internet and computer activities by up to 40 percent without increasing power consumption.

"Intel has delivered the fastest desktop processor on Earth to the most demanding users on Earth, the ones who are using their PCs for video, gaming and music," said Patrick Gelsinger, senior vice president and general manager of Intel's Digital Enterprise Group. "When you couple what is Intel's biggest leap in chip design with other incredible innovations like Intel's solid state drives, the Core i7 processor has redefined the computer of tomorrow."

Intel's Turbo Boost Technology accelerates performance to match a computer user's needs and workloads. Through a sophisticated on-die power control unit and using new "power gate" transistors based on Intel's advanced 45 nanometer, high-k metal gate manufacturing process, Turbo Boost automatically adjusts the clock speed of one or more of the four individual processing cores for single- and multi-threaded applications to boost performance, without increasing power consumption.

The Core i7 also has the latest Intel power-saving technologies, allowing desktops to go into sleep states formerly reserved for Intel-based notebooks.

The Core i7 processor more than doubles the memory bandwidth of previous Intel "Extreme" platforms, speeding the transfer of computer bits and bites in and out of the processor with Intel Quickpath Technology. Designed with Intel's Hyper-Threading Technology, the processor also allows multiple computing threads to run simultaneously, effectively enabling it to do two things at once. As a result, the Core i7 quad-core processor delivers 8-threaded performance.

The Intel Core i7 processor also offers unrivaled performance for immersive 3-D games - over 40 percent faster than previous Intel high-performance processors on both the 3DMark Vantage CPU physics and AI tests. The Extreme Edition uses 8 threads to run games with advanced artificial intelligence and physics to make games act and feel real.

The Intel Core i7 processors and Intel X58 Express Chipset-based Intel Desktop Board DX58SO Extreme Series are for sale immediately from several computer manufacturers online and in retail stores, as well as a boxed retail product via channel online sales.

The Core i7 processor is the first member of the Intel Nehalem microarchitecture family; server and mobile product versions will be in production later. Each Core i7 processor features an 8 MB level 3 cache and three channels of DDR3 1066 memory to deliver the best memory performance of any desktop platform. Intel's top performance processor, the Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition, also removes overspeed protection, allowing customers or hobbyists to further increase the chip's speed.
