It seems like a normal phone until you read the “Special Feature”.

Special Features:
Video Projector: can project cell phone screen as well as external video source (composite input adapter included)

Yes, the thing is an actual projector in a phone, how cool is that ? , Its no ordinary Iphone clone. It costs $345 which really isnt much for some of the rich folks out there, but the projector feature is definitely worth killing for.

The photos of use seem to suggest good clear pictures, the only caveat being the 975 grams weight.

It even got engadget coverage.

You can buy it from dealextreme.

If you are a techie, chances are more that you arent healthy. Staying in front of the computer, not moving for long period, not being able to go out and play and lack of physical activity all add up to a very unhealthy and fat you.

So why not use technology to try and reverse the effect, one of the gadgets that can help you in this is a pedometer. A pedometer is a device that counts the number of steps you have taken during the day. A good pedometer will go on standby when you are in a  car or a bus. My pedometer even tells the approximate distance travelled alongwith the number of calories burnt.

Pros of this Pedometer :

• Good and accurate measurement of steps
• AG13 battery which is fairly easily available
• Easy to reach reset buttons
• Shows the distance travelled
• Shows the approximate number of calories burnt
• Good build quality
• Very competitively priced

Cons of the Pedometer :

• May need a little tweaking to get an accurate result
• You may easily drop and lose the pedometer
• May count jerks etc. on a jerky and potholed road
• Needs a big jerk to come out of standby

You may purchase this pedometer from Dealextreme

Most Tech Gurus would have doubted that the ultraportable market ever existed in India, so what did the Asus EEE PC do ? It created a whole new market segment for itself, it carved into the price sensitive, ultra geeky Indian market and took the nation by storm. These 7" beauties are now carried by college students, professionals and even salesmen. The laptops are functional and have the ability to install Windows Xp on them although that wouldnt leave much space to put other things. the best version available in India is the Aus EEE PC 4G, the 2G surf version is also available in India.

First things first, we do actually own this watch , so the review is 100% genuine and not cooked up the slightest bit. The watch has a watch display too, but to see that wait till the next post when we post still photographs of the watch. The video quality is a little bad as it was taken with a N72 phone, our digital camcorder was out of batteries. The video being played on the watch is crystal clear BTW, the focusing of our video camera is out though.

Specifications:

1. - It comes in the following languages:
   • English
   • French
   • Italian
   • Spanish
   • Deutsche
   • Portuguese
   • Dutch
   • Hungarian
   • Chinese (Simplified)
   • Chinese (Traditional)
2. -Plug and Play USB flash drive
3. -MP3,MP4,FM,Ebook Functionality
4. -1.25 inches 128×128 OLED screen

   Pros:

   • Good battery power, 7 hours of playback at-least.
   • Abcolutely the most unique item on anyone’s wrist. Easy to recharge via USB port, also provided is a Mains to USB adaptor.
   • Comes in a nice box (although it was a little crushed)
   • Great gift item as it comes in nice packaging and has great utility.
   • Crisp and Clear Display with no problems.
   • OLED looks uber cool – Photos exclusively showing the OLED display will be posted soon.

   Cons:

   • Complicated instructions, keep the manual handy as you will need it many many times.
   • Interface is a little cheap looking, i don’t like the pink and sky blue combination
   • A little bulky for those with small wrists, as the watch is huge it looks ugly on small wrists.
   • FM is received via the inbuilt receivers and is extremely poor.
   • 2.5" headphones so normal headphones may not be used in this, no external speakers, an adaptor must be used for normal headphones.

   Verdict: Watch is extremely cool and so is the time display, the font for M isnt so great though and appears squeezed on Mondays. Otherwise it really is a unique item great for listening to music during your morning walk or exercise session.

Asus really loves India, thats why they release all their phones in India before many of the leading world markets. The latest to hit the shelves is the Asus ZX1. The phone is a special edition Lamborghini model and is priced at a whooping Rs.48000 or $1200. Now i can buy a good laptop with that amount, why would i buy this phone. But our job is to review the phone and here goes :

Asus claims that the phone has a ‘chassis-inspired aerodynamic flow’ and the ‘amazingly sharp profile’. Its made up of carbon fibre and stainless steel so that it may last a long time. Its looks are killer and we agree, amazingly thin and stylish at the same time. The Lamborghini logo looks fantabulous. The specs of the phone are :

Specifications – Our comments are in Italics

Networks
HSDPA 3.6Mbps, UMTS 850/1900/2100MHz, EDGE/GPRS/GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz; Class 10 - Awesome Quadband and HSDPA !

Operating System
Microsoft Windows® Mobile 6.1™ Professional – The latest and best mobile OS

Weight
119g (With Battery) – A little heavy

Standby Time
150 ~ 200 hours – Good and Decent

Talk Time
3G: 2~3 hours*; 2G: 4~5 hours  – A little on the lower side

Display
2.8´´ TFT LCD Screen, 65,000 colors, QVGA 240×320 pixels – Just 65k colours, pathetic for 48k bucks

Processor
TI OMAP™ 2431 450MHz + EMP U360 – Nice processor

GPS
Built-in GPS Sirfstar III - Always Handy

Memory
256 MB Flash + 128 MB SDRAM – Decent RAM, also the unit has expansion slot

Expansion Slots
Micro-SD; Supports SDHC – SDHC saves the day

The thing also comes with a large number of ASUS Applications

Anytime Launcher, EziMusic, EziPhoto, MultiHome, NewStation, Backup, ASUS Zip, Ur Time, Business Card Recognition, Auto Cleaner, Meeting Time Planner, Remote Presenter, Voice Commander, GPS Catcher, Call filter, ASUS Status, ClearVue PDF Viewer, Network Auto Configuration, Youtube / Flickr Uploader

Camera Resolution
3 Megapixels, 0.3 Megapixels for Video Telephony – Good, but at 48k 5MP would be better

Verdict:

The phone is a stylish looking, mean performance machine, the only worrying thing is the price tag, spending 48k just for the Lamborghini stamp is plain stupid. Not many people will buy it, and those who do will be better of buying HTC phones which cost 30k but offer similar and better features.

So Taiwanese company Asus plan to take a share of the pie from China’s HTC with their latest Mini PDA the Asus P320 phone. The phone features a great stylish shape with ultra features like GPS, A much Improved Today Screen and Wifi. All this for an Indian price of Rs.12000 (Street Price ) is quite a steal. The phone has the latest Windows Mobile professional with an all touch interface like the HTC Touch and IPhone.

The phone’s specifications are:

• Quad-band GSM )850/900/1800/1900), GPRS, EDGE connectivity
• Microsoft Windows Mobile Professional 6.1
• TI OMAP Processor 850 200 MHz CPU
• 128 MB ROM
• 64 MB RAM
• Windows Mobile Pro 6.1
• 2.8″ QVGA 320×240 px TFT LCD touchscreen
• Bluetooth 2.0, USB 2.0
• 2 Megapixel camera (Quality is yet to be Tested)
• Built-in  GPS  SIRF III
• MicroSD memory card slot   which supports SDHC

Let us discuss the Pros and Cons of this phone Asus P320:

Pros:

1. Built in GPS ensures you dont have to carry around an external receiver, this can easily become your navigator.
2. WLAN Wifi
3. Quadband – All continents are in your reach.
4. Supports upto 32 GB Micro SD SDHC cards
5. Improved Asus Today screen and Asus Launcher
6. Microsoft Windows Mobile Professional 6.1 (Latest)

Cons:

1. Very small, very very small, so using Windows Mobile Professional 6.1 can be pretty agonising
2. No external keyboard app, the default keyboard is very difficult to use
3. No FM , couldn’t they give FM :O
4. 64 MB RAM might be too small
5. TI OMAP 850 200 MHz is an ancient processor with very low processing power.

Verdict 

Dont buy the Asustek Asus P320 as of yet, the phone is a new phone and Asus being relatively new in the market , the phone may have some reliability issues, wait for 2 months so that you can see reviews pouring in and make a better call. The phone is too small for those with larger hand and plus the processor is slow and RAM is less. These might make the phone sluggish and useless.

All Geeks will love this LCD clock and even though its just a clock it qualifies for a review on our gadget blog. The clock has a colour changing translucent LCD panel which changes colour with time or with each touch.  The colourful LCD clock features Time Display, Temperature Display, Date Display,a Timer and an Alarm too.

The pros and cons of this LCD clock are listed below :

Pros:

The first pro of the clock is that it looks expensive which is a big pro, no one likes to keep cheap looking things on his desk.

Supercool light colours, the light changing as can be seen in the video is totally awesome. In a dark room, the clock completely sets the mood.

Temperature display, alarm, timer etc. are present, the watch offers great functionality at a pretty great price.

Customisability – The light which glows can be turned off, made permanent or touch sensitive according to your wish.

Cons:

As with all Chinese products, the plastic quality might be suspect although it looks great, nothing can be said about its durability.

The buttons are small and located below the unit so its difficult to set the unit

Setting the time, alarm etc. are really mind boggling tasks and cant be done without the manual. The settings are not intuitive.

The alarm tones are really bad, really really bad.

This baby may be bought at DealExtreme for $7.36
