Playstation 3

Need I say more??

Imagine what would it be like to carry a complete tablet PC, no more than 7", completely able to replace your desktop and laptop, abundant with network and graphic capabilities and best of all, upgradable.

Seems too good to be true, but no more a whiz out of a movie!!

Now, all those carrying huge backpacks with their laptops can run for their lives!! Behold, the UMPCs are here and they're here to conquer!!

The first shipment of eo UMPC v7110 256/40 has just started in US, with a tag price of USD 900. Cheap when you look at the features, and considering that a laptop with probably lower configuration would cost somewhere around USD 1500.

The amazing new portable audio for your car

I just love this new gadget from Merlin. Although a lot of other companies have now produced the 'Car Mp3', Merlin version is the best so far.

I've been using it for the past 3 months and thoroughly enjoy it. The convenience really

pays off as I have a 1GB SD card in my PDA, with loads of

music. I just plug in the SD card in my ultra-compact card

reader (check out the next entry) and hook up the card

reader to the device.....
the days of magazine style CD changers are long gone.

The best part about this device is that it transmits over a range of selectable FM frequencies, so your favorite radio channels do not get blanketed, and it transmits the audio in stereo, with virtually no loss in quality.
Another cool thing is that it has a prioritised Line-in jack, which means you can connect your mp3 players or Ipods.
Last, but not the least, price is peanuts compared to the Ipod compatible FM transmitters (which by the way only cater to IPods).

Handy though not too techy

The latest addition in my portable Always-on-me gadgets is this mini card reader. Though nothing too techy about it, it does come in very handy in data transfer and in my FM transmitter mp3 player I use in my car.

Reads 13 types of mostly used cards and costs only DHS 15!
