Tata Indica soon to hit the streets of Norway: it’s electric!

Apr 22nd 2009 Transportation No Comments

We heard tell of an all-electric, Norway-bound Tata Indica back in September of last year, and now it looks like it’s almost ready to hit the streets. Autoblog Green is reporting that the makers of the super-cheap Nano expect to have the electric Indica rolling off the line either late this year or early in 2010. While the Indica EV (above) that was shown at the SAE World Congress is not the model that will be available in Norway, we can probably expect it to look something like it. We don’t know any details about pricing, but expect the available number of autos to be “limited.” No further info about the car yet, but we’ll keep you posted. Hit the read link for a full gallery of the EV.

When netbook processors compete, everyone wins

Apr 20th 2009 Laptops No Comments

You know the drill: the Atom is the king of all netbooks, with a domain stretching as far as the eye can see. But, upstarts like the Via Nano and AMD’s Athlon Neo are encroaching on Intel’s domain, and Crave took the time to pit examples of the three against each other in a series of benchmarks to see which should rule the land. Rather sadly for us, each of the three tests had a different winner, with the Atom N280 excelling in multi-tasking, the Nano U2250 best for iTunes encoding, and the Neo MV-40 quickest under a Jalbum-based benchmark. So you know what that means: everyone gets a prize, nobody has to go home crying, and you should just go ahead and buy whichever netbook you like best already.

Update: It’s actually unclear which proc won which test, as the table at the source shows one thing, but the text swaps the Neo and Nano around. But, again, there’s not much between these three.

Prox Dynamics’ Black Hornet nano-copter gets demoed on video

Apr 20th 2009 Gadgets No Comments

Prox Dynamics’ PD-100 “Black Hornet” nano-copter has already gone through a number of different prototypes and test flights, but it looks like things have really started to come together with the last few models, and the company has taken advantage of the opportunity to show off their progress in a couple of videos. One of those shows a “simulated” indoor mission, in which the 15 gram copter scouts out a nondescript office building whilst some suitably dramatic music plays in the background. The other, slightly more interesting video demonstrates how the two latest models are able to handle themselves in flight, and hold up against some obstacles, like the always problematic flapping clip board. Head on past the break to check ‘em out for yourselves, and hit up the link below for some more information about the copter itself. Oh, and watch the skies, people. Very, very closely.

O2 UK intros cheaper 24 month iPhone 3G tariffs

Mar 23rd 2009 Cellphones No Comments

Today, O2 has announced new 24 month iPhone 3G tariffs for the UK, thus confirming those rumors which appeared last week.

Starting April 3, O2 UK’s customers will be able to get an 8GB iPhone 3G for free if they choose a new 2-yr contract agreement with a data plan of at least £34.26 per month.

The 16GB iPhone 3G will (obviously) also be offered for free, if you’re willing to pay £44.05 per month for two years.

Sadly, the 18 month iPhone 3G tariffs will not be changed by O2.

o2-iphone-3g

Almost certainly, the cheaper tariffs are being introduced because Apple is getting ready to launch a new iPhone this year. Of course, iPhone OS 3.0 kind of makes the old handset a new one, but let’s hope there will be some fresh hardware coming from Cupertino in addition to the fresh software. 

We might even see more than just one new Apple smartphone – perhaps that iPhone Nano will finally be announced, together with a handset that can be a worthy successor to the iPhone 3G.

Violet brings Mir:ror to the States, let the RFID superfluity begin!

Mar 20th 2009 Peripherals No Comments

While initially enthused at the prospect of RFID tagging our objects for swipability by a home-based RFID reader — like Violet’s new Mir:ror — we eventually came the realization that we would never use it for anything, ever. Still, perhaps that’s just us: Mir:or, which retails for $59, packs two Nano:ztags (the little bunnies with a tag inside) and three Ztamp:s (adhesive tags), allowing you to specify computer functions to trigger when the Mir:ror is approached by one of those RFID tags. A classic usage scenario involves placing your keys on the Mir:ror, with the device letting your computer know if your keys are resting there or not — something potentially achieved by looking at the Mir:ror itself, if you’re into spoilers, but hopefully hackers can put this to better use. Violet also offers tagged children’s books, and a set of 12 extra Ztamp:s, for $8 and $20, respectively. Demo video is after the break.

VIA’s VX855 Media System Processor handles the 1080p

Mar 15th 2009 Home Entertainment No Comments

Big news, folks — 1008p is about to hit the minuscule PC market, and VIA’s making darn sure it doesn’t miss the boat. Hot on the heels of HABEY’s BIS-6550HD announcement, VIA has stepped in to formally introduce its VX855 Media System Processor, which aims to bring hardware-based 1080p decoding to VIA-based rigs. The highly integrated single chip package sucks down just 2.3 watts and provides hardware H.264 video acceleration when snapped in alongside a VIA Nano, C7 or Eden processor. Other specs include a 400 to 800MHz FSB speed, support for up to DDR2 800 memory (4GB maximum), six USB 2.0 ports and the company’s own Chrome9 graphics set. There’s no mention of when this bugger will find its way into shelf-bound rigs, but we’re hoping Computex sheds some light on the situation.

Philips DCP951/37 Portable DVD Player With Retractable iPod Dock

Mar 11th 2009 Other Stuff No Comments

Philips DCP951/37 Docking Entertainment Center (Image courtesy Philips)
By Andrew Liszewski

I’m not in the market for a portable DVD player, nor will I ever be, but were I forced to choose one I might lean towards the DCP951/37 (what’s with the slash?) from Philips. On one hand, the 640×220 resolution is pretty crappy, but on the other hand I really like the slide out dock that’s compatible with the iPod Touch, iPod Nano and the standard ‘big on storage, low on features’ iPod Classic. While the DCP951/37 has a DVD slot that can play almost every kind of standard-def video disc in existence, as well as an SD card slot for those all-important Divx files, being able to watch your iTunes video purchases on a larger 9-inch screen is a nice option.

Other features include MP3 support, 2 x 3.5mm stereo headphone jacks for sharing with a friend and a built-in LI-Polymer battery that’s rated for about 2.5 hours of playback. And you can pick one up from Amazon right now for a very reasonable $139.98.

NVIDIA Ion to begrudgingly support Core 2 Duo by Q4?

Feb 26th 2009 Laptops No Comments

It’s easy to overlook amidst all PowerPoint-fueled fisticuffs but, in addition to slinging rebuttals at Intel and muttering insults under its breath, NVIDIA also appears to have dropped a bit of news about its next-generation Ion platform. While we had already heard that Ion 2 would be supporting VIA’s Nano processor in addition to Intel’s Atom, it looks like it’ll also support Core 2 Duo processors, and even Pentiums and Celerons for good measure. That, of course, is not all that surprising given Ion’s roots in NVIDIA’s current MCP79M/MCP7A chipset platform, and there’s certainly plenty of time for things to shake out further before that promised Q4 rollout date — and, knowing these two companies, things probably will.
