Wi-Fi Camera Card Wins Gadget Prize
A memory card that sends pictures directly to a computer via Wi-Fi, saving the need for the user to be connected directly to their computer to upload their images, has beaten nine other contenders to take the top spot in this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The Eye-Fi wireless card (pointlessly pictured here with some lego men because memory cards tend to look a little boring on their own) won the Last Gadget Standing session, a fun and informal contest staged by Yahoo's technology section.
The $100 or (roughly) £50 Eye-Fi card, which has 2GB of memory, uses Wi-Fi to instantly zap pictures to computers and to Flickr, Facebook, Picasa (or 14 other sites Eye-Fi Inc. have partnered with) wirelessly, invisibly and automatically.
This sounds great and it's something I'd willingly use but does this product really have longevity? Surely it's only a matter of time before digital cameras come with Wi-Fi and its hefty price tag is a bit of a deterrent. Ominously, the winner of the Last Gadget Standing contest's future isn't always assured. In 2004 the winner was Tapwave Zodiac, a handheld digital assistant with multimedia features. The company went bankrupt in 2005. A memory card that sends pictures directly to a computer via Wi-Fi, saving the need for the user to be connected directly to their com... more -
Attack Of The 150-Inch Giant TVs!
Bill Gates may have wowed all with his funny mock leaving video at this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, but it's Panasonic who have really got me excited.
They've unveiled the Life Screen - a gigantic 150-inch plasma screen that they're calling " the world's largest flat panel." At 11 feet wide, it's equal to the size of nine 50-inch plasma TVs and the great news is it's apparently not just about the proportions; with its 2,000-by-4,000 pixel resolution, it's 4 times the resolution of Panasonic's current full HD plasma displays.
I want this thing so much, it's one attack I'm more than happy to let happen.
