Mini Robo Copter Unveiled
Mini Robo Copter Unveiled
04/11/2005 08:18 AM
Seiko Epson is showing
off their new robo-copter—the lightest and smallest robotic
helicopter to date, weighing in at just 8.9 grams. The Micro Flying
Robot has four legs and actuators, as well as two rotors, to aid in
balancing. Lacking Asimovesque miniature atomic power sources as we
do, the copter is externally powered, but it's awfully cool
nonetheless. The prototype was introduced at the International Robot
Exhibition, perhaps taking some thunder away from all of the robotic unveilings at the World Expo this year.

As eagle-eyed
reader Thomas Shebest pointed out to me, it looks as if Apple has
removed the Mini (car) from its BMWYourIpod page. Either the Mini
isn't supported any longer, or, more likely, someone within BMW's
marketing department didn't want to dillute the Beemer brand with
their low-end cousin. Whichever -- it's still been removed from the
site.

03/31/2005 07:35 PMGriffin Technology Inc. on Thursday announced the release of their
AirClick Remote for iPod and iPod mini, a remote control designed, as
you might have guessed, to work with Apple's iPod and iPod mini. The
AirClick Remote is different from most iPod remote controls because it
works using Radio Frequency (RF) technology instead of infrared, so it
doesn't require a line of sight to the iPod and can operate up to 60
feet away, according to Griffin. It's shipping now for US$39.99.

JVC's Mystery Hard Drive Camcorders
Revealed: They're Hard Drive Camcorders
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.

Griffin unveils 3-in-1 RoadTrip for
iPod, iPod mini
08/13/2004 07:17 AMGriffin Technology has introduced
RoadTrip, a 3-in-1 device that provides an FM transmitter, charger and cradle
for all dock-capable iPod and iPod mini MP3 players. The transmitter
broadcasts your music on any FM frequency on your car stereo, with a
backlit display that shows which frequency is in use, while the
charger keeps your iPod's battery at full capacity. The RoadTrip plugs
into any 12-volt outlet or cigarette lighter in your car and its
transmitter unit can be removed and plugged into a USB port on your
computer, enabling music broadcast from it to any nearby FM stereo.
Griffin has left the top of the US$79.99 device open for use with
other iPod accessories, which means RoadTrip isn't compatible with the
1G and 2G iPods that have FireWire ports on top.

06/21/2004 01:46 PMSendStation Systems and RadTech have released two new PocketDock
models and
MiniSleevz
for iPod mini, respectively. SendStation's PocketDock is an adapter
that allows users to connect their iPods to their Macs with standard
FireWire cables instead of Apple's docking cables. The company's new
PocketDock
Combo (US$22.95) contains USB and FireWire ports that accept
standard USB cables as well as 6-pin FireWire cables. The
PocketDo
ck Line Out ($29.95) also features a 6-pin FireWire port but adds
a 3.5mm (1/8-inch) stereo jack that bypasses the iPod's headphones
amplifier for better sound quality when connecting the MP3 player to
external speakers. It comes with two six-foot white audio cables. Both
PocketDock models are available now and are compatible with Apple's
10, 15, 20, 30 and 40GB iPods, as well as the iPod mini.

Apricorn EZ Bus Mini Hard Drive Reviewed
Apricorn EZ Bus Mini Hard Drive Reviewed
08/23/2004 06:30 AM
The good news about the Apricorn EZ Bus Mini 20GB,
a USB bus-powered hard drive design for on-the-go backups, is that it
works very well (if a little slowly), and even has a pretty nice suite
of software if you're using Windows (OSX can see the drive fine, but
there's no software). The bad news is that for about the same $200 or
so price of the Apricorn EZ Bus, you could get a regular USB 2.0 or
FireWire unit that uses standard 3.5-inch hard drives with at least
five or six times the capacity. Of course, it would be nearly as
portable as the iPod-sized Apricorns, and it would probably require
its own mains power, but it would be bigger.
That being said, if you're on the road, and looking for a cheap way
to store some of your data, if not all of it, it looks like a
pretty decent deal. Everything USB has a little price checker at the
bottom of their review, and it looks like the 20GB model can be found
for as low as $165; cheap enough that the "why not just buy an iPod?"
argument is nullified, thankfully.
