Manufacturers

Think Pad Tram SeatThe Lenovo Thinkpad likes to see itself as pretty sturdy.

I guess it can take the knocks and scrapes of everyday life well enough – but I’d never think to install them as seats on buses and tram shuttles!

The notebooks have been given the bum deal (heh!) as part of a campaign created by Ogilvy Frankfurt.

They laptops were installed in buses and tram shuttles that were transporting prospective buyers to Lenovo Roadshows all over Germany.

The buses were sat waiting by train stations and airports to get visitors to the events and offered the passengers the chance to surf the web or just take the weight off their feet.

I’d be a little unsure whether a thoughtless clench could format the drive. I wonder if anyone managed to use the trackpad whilst reading a paper ;)

Personally I would’ve preferred to see the MSI Wind as seats – more of a fitting name perhaps?

I’d dare say that if a similar campaign was attempted in the UK there’d all of a sudden be quite a lot of standing room on public transport.

Flip Wi-Fi Camcorder Coming in a Few Months

flip-minohd-hd-camcorderCisco bought out Pure Digital in a multi-million dollar deal earlier this year and they intend to use their networking know-how to launch a new Wi-Fi-enabled Flip digital camcorder.

Those lovelies over at Pocket-Lint had a chat with a Cisco spokesperson who said that the new range would feature “a large screen that slides to reveal the record and menu buttons underneath” allowing users to see what is going on when they are recording video.

Cisco wants to keep this in the pocket-friendly region in cost as well as size so don’t go dreaming about touchscreens and the like!

The plan is that you’ll be able to record video and upload it straight from the camcorder over Wi-Fi networks both private and public, a feature currently being offered in some DSLRs.

I prefer to work with multiple displays when I get the choice.
Keeping one for stuff I’m working on and the other for various other things just feels logical.
Well – instead of buying stands, separate monitors, etc you can go and get the InterView 1700.
It’s a dual display system in a single unit.
It consists of [...]
