We're got a tipster telling us that Sony's new 9.9-mm thin, wireless Bravia ZX1 is absolutely, without a doubt, based on Amimon's WHDI (pre-standard) wireless technology. Not surprising given Sony's and Amimon's collaborative effort to make WHDI a proper standard. Still, when we asked Sony, they gave us a sly grin followed by a, "no comment." Sony was willing to confirm a "guaranteed" 1080i transmission at a range of up to 20-meters. Amimon, on the other hand, can transmit 1080p / 30fps at distances up to 30-meters, you know, just as long as you're not separating devices with a wall of Kevlar and Kryptonite. Sony also told us that we can expect the thinster to land in Euroland before Xmas, but not the US where it would seem they have a different, non-integrated wireless model prepping for release. We'll see at CES in January if not earlier.
While Panny's 150-inch plasma from CES gets its very own room at the Panasonic booth, the new "budget-friendly" TH-103PZ800 103-inch plasma was relegated to a bit part in the back row of an artsy, rock garden-planted collection of displays. We don't have much to say about the actual display, and we're sure that anyone planning to drop $50k on one will be doing a bit more than taking our word for it anyways, but trust us when we tell you that the 150-incher makes the 103 look like a tiny pretend television for tiny pretend people.
Update: According to the card identifying all these displays, we were looking at the TH-103PF10, not the new 103PZ800, contrary to what we were told. Maybe Panny got the card wrong, but we're gonna have a long talk with some Panasonic reps if we every make it back by the booth.

Now think about balancing a ball on your plate--tricky, and you'll usually drop it in less than a minute. Francesco Prosperi at the Sant'Anna School for Advanced Studies of Pisa, Italy, however, has designed a robot with reflexes so fast it doesn't drop the ball even when you push it around the tray. The tray in this case is a FLEX board riddled with microcontrollers, which give the main unit data about the ball's position--it's the equivalent of a touchscreen monitoring your finger's position.
It may not sound like much, but if robots can get fast enough to balance balls better than humans, it means that eventually we'll see robots that can right themselves while walking, which means more human-like motion. It's one of those "small steps for robots but giant leaps for robotkind."
And there you were, thinking that we couldn't get any more dependent on our gadgets. Yes, we've seen the odd made-up statistic or two, trying to convince you that a DVR could save your marriage, for instance, but this one seems legit. According to a work-life study by Sheraton Hotels and Resorts, 85% of US professionals say that they feel "compelled to stay connected to work 24/7", and 81% claim they're working harder than ever before. The culprit? New technology, specifically PDAs.
Not only do the professionals take their PDAs to bed with them, but about 35% claimed that if backed into a corner, they'd pick their PDAs over their spouses! So if you ever encounter a PDA-toting divorcee, you know that they were either backed into a corner, or their spouses found out they were from that 35%.
Ironically, while most professionals can't seem to be torn away from their PDAs, they still claim that it lets them spend more time with the family. But does it count when you're poking at your touchscreen in the vicinity of your brood? Really, draw the line, people, and even though we don't encourage too much time away from your tech, at least make sure that your tech-free moments really are tech-free.

Design and features
The Air Gear is remarkably light at just a couple of grams. On the right side are the play/pause and power buttons for easy access, and you're never left fumbling trying to find them. Just above these are the forward and back buttons, which also serve as volume controls when held down.
Clicking the buttons results in forward/back and the system seems to work well. It's slightly annoying that there was no way to skip further ahead into a song but the controls are decent. A circular blue LED blinks when the headset is in operation or charging. The headband is flexible laterally but its length is fixed and this might feel odd for some users if it does not fit them right.
The Air Gear can only play MP3's and WMA's, and there s not so much as an equalizer in sight. One feature that would've really been a saving grace is a radio, but it lacks that as well.
Battery life
Surprisingly this lasted slightly longer than the stated 8 hours, considering much of this was on the highest volume, which is insanely loud, this is quite impressive.
Performance
The bass comes across quite nicely and doesn't feel too lacking. The highs on the other hand aren't distinct and seem diminished. Just the voices and mids are reproduced very well. Overall I'd say for the price range the audio quality is good. The headphones are also surprisingly loud and could drown out even noisy background noise.
They are even loud enough to be used as speakers in environments that aren't too noisy, though they can't take that level of volume and the sound degrades. There's also quite a bit of vibration when they're being played out loud.
Conclusion
At Rs. 2,000 for 2GB and Rs. 1,750 for the 1GB version this doesn't seem too bad. The sound quality is good for the price though not anything phenomenal. With that USB 1.1 port, transferring music takes longer than it should, but with a capacity of only 1 and 2 GB available, the overall time taken would still be inconsequential.
The lack of an equalizer might be disappointing for some people as well as the limited formats. That said; the battery life and the near speaker-like volume that it can produce are impressive and could easily deliver music to a group of people nearby. If you like how this flashy portable music player looks and fancy listening to your music without wires, this is a decent buy.
Panasonic rolled like that. The normal type, but can not afford, but in front of an impressive stand at the show, drooling. This time out, and the IFA Show, to kick off on Friday a new 103in plasma TV, 103PZ800, is ready. This is the third-generation 103 - incher and the specifications are impressive.

Those who are still unaware about the G1 and wondering what the fuss surrounding it is all about, here's a refresher: The G1 is the first phone to be based on the brand new Android platform. The Android platfom is nothing but an open source operating system built around the webkit rendering engine. HTC, T-Mobile and Google have been working on the G1 for close to three years. The culmination of those years is what we now know as the G1.
An iPhone killer?
Not yet, not quite. There have been quite a few contenders for the 'iPhone Killer' title. These include the likes of the HTC Touch Diamond, the Samsung Omnia and more recently, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1. None of them have been able to knock the iPhone off its perch, so far. Will the G1 be any different?
The good news is that the G1 offers nearly everything that the iPhone does, or better--GPS, 3G, WiFi, touchscreen (though the G1 only supports single touch), and a 3.1-megapixel camera. The screen slides out to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard, and you can use the trackball to navigate the interface as well. The operating system seems slick, but clearly doesn't have the oomph of the iPhone. Obviously, it's tightly integrated with Google apps such as Gmail, Maps and YouTube, but even though you can watch streaming video, the phone doesn't support any other form of video. Also lacking is Microsoft Exchange server support; nor can the phone be synced to Outlook or any PC-based contacts program.
Unlike the iPhone this one CAN copy-paste content; supports MMS and has a higher megapixel camera. No video recording here either though. There is also no sign of a 3.5mm audio jack.
The browser, like Chrome, is based on WebKit (you may remember this from the Chrome comic), but doesn't support Flash. It compares well with that of the iPhones except for the multi-touch gestures which are lacking. Nevertheless, the G1 does a good job of presenting webpages as they are intended to be seen.
The phone comes with a 1GB SD card that can be expanded to up to 8 GB--unimpressive, considering that the base iPhone comes with 8GB, not to mention the ability to play QuickTime video.
The G1 will sell for $180, which undercuts the iPhone by $20.
A look at the iPhone's UI. Note how slide-up menu works:
Our thoughts
On paper, the G1 excites us about as much as Chrome--it's something, but we aren't exactly screaming with joy. The iPhone trumps it in coolness, video-playing-ness, multi-touchnes, and GBs-per-dollar-ness. Of course, Android's supposed to be all about the impending third party apps, but all we have right now is a program that helps calculate your carbon footprint and one that scans barcodes to search for the best prices. And after all the tom-tomming about the goodness of open platforms, T-Mobile revealed that they've worked with Google to block VoIP, so you won't be able to use Skype (or an equivalent) to make cheap long distance calls.
For the G1, it's what's inside that has potential -- an open-source OS, and an open-platform for developers to create and sell what they wish to. This should quickly fill in any glaring gaps in the G1's makeup, such as the lack of corporate email support. But as it stands, the G1 is a bit underwhelming, even as a purely consumer device. If it's to create the "big impact" analysts expect it to, the Android had better be one gobsmackingly good OS.
Once again note that the $180 is carrier-subsidised-dollars. When it does land in India, don't expect it to sell at a direct conversion of that amount. As to that eventuality: The device will be available starting 22nd October in the US and subsequently in the UK by November. The rest of Europe will see the phone by early 2009. No official word for an India-specific launch as of now.

"As more and more people return to playing musical instruments themselves, the LS-10 will help them reach their true potential as performers and allow them to share their music with friends and family. Whether it is used by a band of amateur musicians or an orchestra, the LS-10 offers the best sound quality, ease of use, and feature set in the industry and produces recordings that are faithful to the original performance."
High Quality Recording
The LS-10 features uncompressed 24 bit/96kHz Linear PCM recording capability, to capture the rich sound quality of music performances. It has the versatility to record and play back in the WAV, MP3 and WMA formats. The LS-10 can record with its internal microphone or by plugging in an external microphone. The LS-10's value extends beyond the realm of music. Students will find it useful for recording lectures and journalists for recording high-quality interviews for broadcasts and podcasts.
Elegant and Intuitive Design
An enlarged, backlit LCD is easy to read and shows file information, recording time and events clearly. The device is outfitted with an ergonomic dial thumb pad allowing the user to play or stop a recording, adjust the volume level, fast-forward and rewind with the touch of one button. The Erase and Folder/Index buttons are positioned individually below the thumb dial for easy access.
Durability
The LS-10 has a lightweight and durable aluminum body. This keeps the weight of the LS-10 to a mere 5.8 ounces including batteries.
Memory Capacity and Expandability
The LS-10 has two gigabytes of internal flash memory to capture lengthy recordings. The LS-10 also features an SD/SDHC removable media card slot to further expand its capacity.
