New Small Panasonic LCD TV is Really a Digital Photoframe, CD Playing iPod Dock

by Jay Garrett on November 12, 2009

panasonic-mw10First picture I saw of this little Panasonic lead me to believe that it was a neat portable LCD Television.

Gah – how wrong and foolish do I feel now?

What it is, in fact, is Panasonic’s new MW-10 “multimedia audio system photo frame”.

Not only will it show pictures held on either its 4GB of internal memory or stuff held on SD cards shoved in the units slot it sports an FM tuner and a built-in CD player to complement the iPod dock.

I’m a little dubious regarding the “audiophile-quality sound” that its supposed to pack but hey – until I hear it then we have to take the word of the press-release I guess.

It was released in Japan last month and is set to hit the states next month for an asking price of $299.95

Alex the Android eBook has Two Screens and Smartphone Capabilities

by Jay Garrett on October 19, 2009

alex-ebook-readerEveryone say hello to Alex the eBook reader.

This lovely, and friendly sounding gadget comes courtesy of Spring Design.

This eBook reader not only has the usual black and white e-Ink screen it has another display that features full colour niceness!

Alex also throws in full web browsing over Wi-Fi and 3G (or EVDO/CDMA in America).

I love the idea that publishers can embed links in to the main text and create live footnotes for further reading in the colour section :)

Web content can be cached onto the device’s internal memory, and swapped to the monochrome screen to preserve battery life.

Alex apparently has ‘full smartphone cabilities’ as well but I’m guessing more info will surface ahead of its ‘before the years end’ release.
