Epson Creates World's Smallest MAV 11/18/2003 11:32 AM
JCN Newswire says that Epson is claiming to have developed the world's smallest flying microrobot. Epson developed the uFR (Micro Flying Robot) to demonstrate the micromechanics technology using an ultrasonic motor and bluetooth module for remote control. The uFR flys via two contra-rotating propellers and ultrasonic motor that has the world's highest power to weight ratio. The flying robot can balance in mid-air using the world's first linear actuator stabilizer mechanism. Epson sold previous Micro Air Vehicle versions such as the EMRos and the Monsieur flying robots, so I'm wondering if this one will be out by Christmas to fly around my living room?

Toshiba Develops Prototype "World's
Smallest" Fuel Cell 06/24/2004 02:38 PM

PCWorld is reporting that Toshiba is releasing a fuel cell this year that is being billed as the "World's Smallest," an always-dubious claim, but undeniably appealing, as Toshiba's .9 by 2.2 by .4 inch cell can produce 100 milliwatts of power over 20 hours with just two cubic centimeters of methanol. Oh, actually, as I read this again the small unit a prototype -- it's a notebook-class version they intend to release later in the year, which we sort of already knew about.

The iPod mini, freshly released in Japan, currently holds the title. It's not the size that matters, Toshiba. Wait, yeah it is, sorry. The capacity of Toshiba's new player is expected to be 2GB or more.

The new drive offers a 50-percent improvement in storage space over Toshiba's current highest capacity 1.8-inch hard-disk drive yet manages this without being physically larger. The major factor that contributed to this increase was an advancement made in a thin-film technology used for both the head and platter, said Midori Suzuki, a spokeswoman for Toshiba in Tokyo.

So if you're a regular Gizmodo reader this isn't new news -- in fact, it's two months old -- but Toshiba is releasing a new 60GB version of the very same harddrive that is used inside the 20 and 40GB versions of the Apple iPod. And despite what Apple will try to tell you, they've already ordered a big mess of them; conveniently they are missing a top-end, $500 model fourth-generation iPod. It's not a question of if, it's a question of when.

Sanyo Creates Smallest FM Tuner Yet

Sanyo Creates Smallest FM Tuner Yet 08/03/2004 09:03 AM

Sanyo has developed a tiny FM tuner chip that is roughly half the size of current tuners on the market; they're calling it the "Easy Radio IC." It requires no other parts to operate and even has an upcoming version that can tune in AM as well (that's coming in September). At just 5mm wide, there's not any reason that any portable music player should be without FM radio, unless the manufacturer is just too stubborn to put it in.

JVC's Mystery Hard Drive Camcorders
Revealed: They're Hard Drive Camcorders 09/14/2004 11:18 AM

Oops, I almost forgot about these new cameras announced from JVC - the ones they've been hyping up to no end as their big "mystery product." Basically, they're camcorders with hard drives in them - a 4GB microdrive, to be exact. They look pretty cool and everything, but they're really most interesting because they are the first consumer camcorder with a built-in hard drive, not because they do anything particularly unique. That being said, I fully support this idea, and think most consumer recording technology should move to hard drives as soon as possible (I'll be waiting until you can get something with a bigger hard drive than 4GB for less than $1,500, though).

Both models (the GZ-MC100 and the GZ-MC200) can record up to 9Mbps in MPEG2, though, which is DVD quality.

Stout infantfish swim exclusively near Australia's Great Barrier Reef and the Coral Sea.

Cometa and Toshiba: And Then There Was
One 04/20/2004 02:01 PM
With tiny scattered networks and the loss of McDonald's, Toshiba's SurfHere locations fold into Cometa Networks: As rumors surfaced a few weeks ago about a reduction in force at Toshiba's SurfHere division coupled with the inevitable reason--McDonald's had already informed them that Wayport would be their anointed partner--Toshiba is essentially exiting their poorly formulated and executed hotspot strategy. While Toshiba couldn't gain traction on its turnkey hotspot offering, Cometa gains the ability to include "some or all"--as the press release puts it--of SurfHere's hundreds of locations. Reading between the lines, they can cherry pick outlets that make sense to Cometa's mission. Cometa's current count of hotspots in their directory is about 100 excluding the McDonald's that will be taken over by Wayport. The Barnes & Noble deal, a year in the making, will eventually add 500 locations in the U.S. to Cometa's list. Toshiba is a massive computer manufacturer, however, and the press release pledges their involvement in promoting Cometa Networks' hotspots. A tricky affair, since Cometa has long said that they weren't branding their hotspots, but rather pushing through resale to brands like cell operators. Publicly held companies rarely like to admit defeat as it can open them up to shareholder lawsuits and stock drops. But the press release pushes a little too hard. "Having helped stimulate the emerging hotspot industry, we believe we can best continue with the strategic intent of the SurfHere Network through this alliance with Cometa Networks," says Chris Harrington, vice president, strategy and business development for Toshiba's American operations. Out of between 8,000 and 10,000 current U.S. hotspots a handful of locations scattered around the country were Toshiba locations. They had no major initiatives. They came late to the party. They secured no chains of stores or major venues. They had, let's be honest, an almost (but not quite) zero effect on the emerging hotspot industry except to show that at the end of the day you can fire hotspots out of a gun and hope they stick....

Toshiba ET1 Projector Reviewed 07/01/2004 12:31 PM

Pocket-Lint reviews the pleasingly droid-like Toshiba ET1 projector, a relatively low-quality (848 x 480 pixel) home projector that is most notable for its swiveling base. The idea is to use the ET1 wherever convenient, like a coffee table, say. This would be fine if the native resolution weren't crap -- 800 x 600 is the bare minimum these days as far as I'm concerned. Pocket-Lint likes it, though, and I suppose for regular television or videogaming, it'd probably be fine. £1000 just seems like a lot of money when there are projectors on the market like the Infocus X2 for even less money.

You can't get them at your local retailer, but Toshiba's 10, 20, and 60GB Gigabeat audio players are available through exporter AudioCubes. There are several words one might use to describe the Gigabeat series, amongst them: "QVGA screen," "reasonable battery life," and, "oppressively expensive." The 'economy model' F10 starts at a budget-busting $400, while the 60GB heavyweight tips breaks the scale at $730. They look like potentially pretty cool units, but you'll get more bang for your buck just about anywhere else.
