Cloud storage is huge, and many of us have stored our data in the cloud already. Whether we’re storing documents or media, the cloud gives us a safe place other than our hard drive to access our data in case of a mishap on our hard drive. Still there are others who think that it is too dangerous to store our most vital information in the cloud because we no longer have control of it. No matter what side of the fence you are on, cloud storage is become a reality for more than personal use, but also for businesses.
Cincopa is now offering cloud storage for digital music in an application called Tubemystuff. The idea is that most of our media far outweighs the storage capacity of our mobile devices. Many of us have hundreds if not thousands of gigabytes of music and video that simply can’t come with us. This is what Tubemystuff plans on changing. Rather than having to pick and choose what to bring with you, you upload what you want, and Tubemystuff allows you to access the other stuff later via a cloud connection.
You have the capability to listen to stored music when you home PC is online and offline, but the product prefers that you create huge playlists on their servers so that you don’t have to rely on the physical storage of your computer. While compelling, I’m not quite sure the audio quality would be the same. I’ve used other cloud services and the quality does seem to be reduced.
There are a variety of services just like this. Do you use any? Can you recommend something better. Let us know what cloud services you use in order to access your media while away from home.
You thought that these guys could never be together in one single place? You were wrong. Texas Instrument developed WiLink 7.0, a microchip that includes the possibilities to receive and transmit WLAN 802.11n, GPS, Bluetooth and FM.
This chip (65nm) seems like the perfect solution for notebooks, netbooks, cellphones and any other device that is intended to contain any of these features. The simplicity that can bring to these devices can be represented in numbers:
The product will be presented in the Mobile World Congress 2010 (Barcelona, Spain). And the company will have OEM devices built with this chip.
They are expecting to have implemented this chip in some market hardware by the end of the year.
There are few things out there that are beautiful enough to just look at for hours. What if a TV was so beautiful whether it was on or off you could just stare at the amazing design? The Sony Bravia builds the aesthetic appeal to an all-time high with their new NX800 HDTV. A design that looks like something Apple would create, is sleek, monolithic, and clean. With the barrage of TV’s shown at CES earlier this month, this is one of those TV’s that is just jam packed with technology that any tech geek or otherwise will drool at what it has to offer.
Naturally the TV, being HD, offers up a full 1080p display. It comes in varying sizes ranging from 46-, 52-, or 60-inches with an LED backlit LCD screen. The two big ones for me is the integrated WIFI which opens up a lot of opportunities and the inclusion of an ambient light sensor is always nice for quick adjustments. The TV is also internet ready with its own set of proprietary widgets. I’d like to see these in action in the real world to see if it’s something people will actually use.
The Sony Bravia NX800 HDTV will retail at $2300 to $3500 so save your nickels and dimes and see if this TV is what you’re looking for in a full entertainment experience.
Sony Bravia offers full online and offline entertainment options.
This is definitely one of my favourite products of 2010 and the year has just begun. It’s a wireless device which allows you to insert an SD card and read it on your PC or mobile phone as thou it were connected via a USB cord. This would be excellent for photographers who need to easily transfer files from their SD cards and indeed those who transport SD cards around with them containing important files frequently.
It’s called the Airstash and is targeted at iPhone users because of it’s portability. However it uses WiFi and as such it can be used in conjunction with any other WiFi enabled device or laptop. It is small, weighs very little and supports cards up to 32Gb.It also acts as a WiFi access point. Unfortunately, the fact that it must be accessed via a browser means that you loose your Internet connection when using it. It can also be used as a USB device. However, in my book, so long as it’s not ridiculously over priced (we’re expecting an RRP to be released in a couple of months) then I think I’ll be buying one!
Toshiba have just announced the arrival of their new TV – what must be the most powerful TV in the universe. It’s called the Cell TV and is available in 55 or 65 inch versions. Don’t it look good?
Well it’s the insides that I’m more concerned about. They have crammed in multiple eight-core processors which all combine to make it more powerful than ten average desktop computers and 143 times faster than rival televisions. Impressive right? Toshiba think so too.
The possibilities of what we can do are really endless,” said Scott Ramirez, vice president of marketing for Toshiba’s TV group, during a press conference.
The TV is also connected to the internet via WiFi or an Ethernet cable allowing content to be downloaded and streamed. You can also browse the net and hold video calls by using the inbuilt video camera and microphone.
2010 has been dubbed the year of 3D TV, well this TV has a processor which makes normal TV ‘jump’ out of the screen at you. This includes things like football which was thought too complex and fast-paced to be made 3D just a few years ago.
This TV will go down in the history books as a turning point in home entertainment, home computing and technology in general.
The PSP is by no means the most successful handheld gaming device. It trailed behind the DS for all of its life and now even the iPhone has it beaten when it comes to the selection of games, even though the PSP had a three year jump on the iPhone.
However, recently stories have emerged that seem to indicate the next PSP will have smart phone capabilities. Reuters revealed that Ericsson and Sony Entertainment have been drawing up plans to create the phone even before their latest invention; the PSP Go, has been released.
The current PSP already has some communication capability with Wi-Fi allowing internet browsing and Skype chat. However, if this plan was to proceed we would likely see 3G, a touch screen and a host of other smart phone features thrown into a PSP. The main problem with this would of course be battery life, but with an electronics company such as Sony I’m sure they could come up with something.
Sony are reported to be putting together a team to begin creating this PSP smart phone as early as July and are engaged in talks with British telecom to bring voice and video chat to the PSP. However, I wouldn’t get my hopes up just yet. Plans like these have a tendency of falling through due to overcrowding in the market or just a really bad finished product.
