Shuttle will also show in Germany, within the CeBIT, the new XS35 Shuttle computer room, a team thin (only 3.3 cm thick) and low consumption. With VESA mounting system included, it seems clear that we will hang behind the TV or monitor and hide it from view. Not exactly a beauty.

XS35 Shuttle But we like inside. It is a computer to the living room and its big bet is Ion 2 (Nvidia GT218), which in combination with the Intel D510 dual core Atom (2 × 1, 66 GHz) promises to be an option to play media high defining and maintaining low power consumption.

The ideal connection in this case with a screen is provided by the HDMI port, where we can send content a memory card, a 2.5-inch hard disk internal or with the help of the optical drive SlimLine.

The cooling of this equipment is passive to prevent unwanted noise when we use it as a media center. I still do not know the launch price.

Finished the Mobile World Congress and review the most outstanding performances, but on successive days have appeared very interesting information and content, including figures such as having to do with the Samsung i8520 Beam, the most complete mobile Korean company.

For me it was one of the most important cell of the fair, not because it’s going to become a best seller, or by having a design spectacular, but the epitome of technology that brings into a single device. I’d like to share with you a video and some information on the projector that incorporates innovative peak.

Apart from the official information that we gave in his presentation, we know little about the phone, eclipsed mediately by his younger brother and Wave Samsung Regarding Android by HTC terminals. Researching a bit on the net I found the above video that you can see the peak performance projector

As you can see in the video also have the opportunity to see that this looks to customize the interface that Samsung has done for Android 2.1, takes a look virtually identical to what we see in bada, Samsung’s operating system Wave.

These similarities are due to both 3.0 and share TouchWiz user interface, and I’m sure we will see from now on Android in the new terminal that the Korean company put on the market.

Returning to the peak projector, we say that is a development of Texas Instruments DLP technology with its contrasted. The operation, under the evidence seems to be really good, and has a 6-lumens brightness, which seems low, but that is what I have read in electronics.

( #) do not know the state of development of software that handles the work of projection, but on the show can see that always displays the same as being planned, but you can turn off the display if it so decides.

Another detail that can not see in the video, but I have had occasion to read elsewhere, is the possibility of connecting the camera to the device and project what we take with her. Although at first see no practical utility of this feature, I’m sure you have included with some interesting intention.

All other specifications are known at a level above the average, first by an impressive Super screen 3.7-inch AMOLED (WVGA), and an 8 megapixel camera with autofocus, flash and video capability to record in 720p format at 30 frames per second. Also we have a front drive, VGA quality for video calls.

Many details remain to be unveiled on the curious beak projector, and the real autonomy of the device, which despite the 1800mAh battery, you may be a bit sparse. From what I have no doubt is the durability of DLP technology, I think that will change mobile projector before passing to a better life.

The renowned manufacturer of components hardware of PC has added a new netbook in its product range, we talk about the Gigabyte T1000, which has all the earmarks of being the natural replacement Gigabyte TouchNote T1028. To begin we will say that aesthetically has hardly changed anything, just see it has a new color and a different keyboard.

The laptop has appeared on the official website for a short period of time, then disappeared, but has been enough that some have acquired enough information. First we told you to be available in two versions, both with swivel touch screen that make it into a tablet , its size is 10.1 inches (1366 × 768 pixels ).

The first notable change, and as usual with netbooks that reach the market is the presence of Pinetrail processors, the Intel Atom N450 at 1.66GHz. But we also report that the new Atom N470 debut at 1.83GHz, this is perhaps why they have disappeared from the web, so they presumably will be presented officially on Monday.

(# )

You may ask the differences between versions, since we found that the top model, Gigabyte T1000P, has a multitouch screen, 6-cell battery weighs 1.48 kilograms. The basic model called T1000X, is left with a 4-cell battery and 1.33 pounds.

Let’s see the rest of common specifications:

1GB RAM.Intel GMA 3150,250 GB hard duro.2 USB ports, combo eSATA / USB, 3.5mm jack, Express card and card reader . VGA.Webcam 1.3 out megapíxeles.Gigabit LAN.Conectividad Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n) and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR .. Dimensions: 26.4 × 21.3 × 4.1 cm.

We hope to have more information on the new netbooks, and the new Intel Atom N470 a few days. Not very clear to me the detail of the top model multitouch screen, it does not appear in the list of specifications of Gigabyte, so if it seems more clear is the presence of 7 Starter Windows operating system.

Pentax has unveiled its new compact SUV, which involves the replacement of the W80, we talked about the Pentax Optio W90. Resistance is your letter, because the camera can withstand drops of up to 1.2 meters, temperatures of minus 10 degrees Celsius, and dive up to 6 meters deep under water.

The benefits regarding the Optio W80 has not changed much, we are the same 12.1-megapixel CCD sensor, optical zoom five increases (28-140mm), and always interesting ability to record video in 720p format (30 fps). A first improvement we have it on the LCD screen that grows up to 2.7 inches (2.5 in the W80 ).

In design terms, we find nothing discreet camera, in line the Optio W80, closer to the idea of the Casio Exilim EX-G1 for the proposal of the Sony TX5, less flashy. Presents fairly square shapes, which are reinforced at all angles.

The most important is found in the 3 LED lights it has on the lens ring, this lighting system has the task of facilitating the Macro. The new functionality has been dubbed the Digital Microscope, and allows a minimum focus distance of 1 cm.

The camera is also available in Pistachio Green color, we can see in the image below. Also introduces support Eye-Fi cards, and be on the market in the month of April in the U.S. starting price is $ 330.

That the NAS are evolving in a truly astonishing in recent months is not something that surprised us. Are many and varied as the models already on the market, and one of the most striking is the Thecus N0204, submitted in March 2009.

Their main advantage is a really small size in part by the use of up to two 2.5-inch drives. The functionalities are similar to the one we are in Thecus N2200 that we analyzed, and also include torrent downloads, P2P and integrated FTP.

So here is our analysis of the Thecus N0204, one of the smaller NAS market.

Thecus N0204, small and low

Yes, it is surprisingly small: it has a size of only 32 × 88 × 63 mm, making it one of the smallest NAS on the market. Inside it can house two 2.5-inch drives, so the capacity can be remarkably large if we select the appropriate drives. Of course, RAID allows easy assembly and is based on removable bays.

Although its use is not mandatory, the Thecus N0204 comes with a small base that serves as a fan of the device. This base is connected directly to the bottom of the NAS, does not need additional power wires and the fan is only 4 inches, not enough to keep refrigerated a system like crossing N0204 and stabilize on a table. Use a small rubber on the bottom so it does not move, and the noise it emits is noticeable but not very annoying.

Installation and commissioning

The installation of the Thecus N0204 is very simple. The bays included in the NAS are embedded, so we’ll just get one, add the hard drive (remember, 2.5 inches), screw and reinserted with light pressure. The two bays function identically, and if at some point we have to get one of the disks will be lifted just a great pin that will make the necessary force to remove than is the case itself.

A After the physical installation, the Thecus N0204 firmware is installed as any other model. Includes a CD with all the necessary tools and firmware, in our case the latest version 3.00.08, so to insert it into your computer and follow the steps outlined in the manual as we have more than easy. Within minutes we’ll have it fully operational.

Web interface and Features

The features, programs and applications are the Thecus N0204 that we saw in our analysis of the N2200. We find different types of servers, including some multimedia as UPnP or iTunes server, a multitude of possibilities when creating users and user groups with different permissions, different configurations and connection types with different operating systems and even the use applications modules.

Although the list of possibilities that the N0204 brings the factory is already quite large, the use of additional modules that you can do install other applications. Among these include the DLM2, Download Manager 2, which can be performed by the network downloads Torrent, eMule, FTP or via HTTP (useful, for example, when scheduling a download of a file very a large site). All these features we have tried (especially the issue of torrents) and working properly.

Is missing Regrettably there is no module for direct downloads from rapidshare or megaupload kind services that are so fashionable lately. Fortunately it is software and is a possible new implementation of the future, although nothing is confirmed in this respect.

Of course, we speak of the intuitive web interface, simple and accessible through any browser. Even if you correctly configure also the world from any computer with an Internet connection. This interface is identical to that we are in the N2200, with the same colors and the same structure and usability of what we saw on that model.

Conclusions

The main feature we highlight the Thecus N0204 is its small size. Very small and thanks to the two bays can offer a very big capacity, even beyond the therapeutic. But can not compare with a more powerful device such as a dual-bay NAS 3.5-inch disk, since in the latter case the capacity can soar to 4 TB, unattainable in the world of 2.5 inches.

Leaving aside the size and capability, the N0204 it works the same way as it did one N2200. It’s fast, efficient and responds well, although somewhat slow in some cases and situations, especially in the menus.

As for the functionality of torrent downloads, you need to comment that suffers from the same sins that the other version we tested at the other NAS. It’s simple, too simple for an average user, as only you can configure and customize. The good thing is that is so simple that it is impossible to miss, but as I said this brings the disadvantage that for more experienced users will miss many options.

The opinion of XatakaA favorMuy small and rather silencioso.Interfaz easy web usar.Capacidad for two 2.5-inch drives with features configurations RAID.Nuevas through módulos.Precio really low, 159 euros.En web contraInterfaz somewhat slow and sometimes pobre.Muy few modules available (currently three).

If you had any doubt that the applications were going to conquer any electronic device around us, I’ll give you a demonstration that are coming to stay. The idea that we have Evernote and Lexmark is really interesting, and I’m sure not going to be the only ones to join the bandwagon.

From now on Lexmark printers not only have access to the Internet, but also want to use applications. Not that previously were unable, but I think the best way to describe the American company that has integrated the great web service Evernote in its multifunction printers.

As we can see I share the video below, the functionality “Scan to Evernote” enables the printer can scan a document and send it directly to our account of Evernote. It seems very interesting if you also thinking about a place where people work longer, so it is possible to install more than one application so we can get Evernote have different accounts on the same printer.

It is assumed that both companies intend to continue adding features to this development, but for now we have little information. I can not forget to mention that you can choose to save the scanned file is in PDF or JPEG.

The integration of Evernote on Lexmark SmartSolutions line is available in three models with touchscreen and WiFi connectivity: Lexmark Interact S605, Platinum Prestige Pro805 and Pro905.

If you look coldly data from different portable music market and compare them with those of selling Apple’s iPod, we find rivals who have not enjoyed the popularity or have failed be seen. In the latter case is clearly the Zune HD which we discussed in our analysis is an excellent player.

The new Philips GoGear Muse becomes from this moment another worthy opponent. This is the first player to reach the GoGear range to renewed brand in Holland. Its strongest point, in addition to the design that you can check yourself, it gives FullSound technology.

This technology seeks to balance the sound at all frequencies and improve the sound files compressed music. This uses a digital signal processor that analyzes and adjusts the sound 10 million times per second. The experience is completed with a musical ear headphones insulators.

Video at 720p on an external display through HDMI output

The more visual and attractive touch it touch screen provides 3.2-inch HVGA, where it is acceptable and watch some video, which will surround technology transferred to the player. The interesting thing about this mode is that it supports video resolutions up to 720p and we GoGear Muse connect to a TV with HDMI output that incorporates.

The most delicate When talking of an alternative to Apple’s iPod ecosystem is found always in the user experience of the player interface and software available to handle it on your computer. In the case of the Zune HD two are resolved in an outstanding manner, with special mention of the Zune software.

In the case of the Philips GoGear Muse, we have the Philips porgrama Songbird yet simple functionality you have to ask a music manager.

The Philips GoGear Muse will come with various capacities (8, 16 and 32 GB) and we can expand it with microSD cards, an idea that we love. FM radio will also.

Gogear Connect will come with Android

No date yet set, Philips has revealed that also prepare a GoGear Connect with WiFi connectivity and Android operating system. Will also incorporate GPS, accelerometer and camera co what little he has left to become a phone.

The interface, as she likes to manufacturers to make their product with Android different, Philips also personalize.
