While we know how pricey the Sony VAIO P Series may already be, we didn’t get to really try it out and get hands on with it recently. After having done that at the Gadget Show Live recently, we truly agree that if you had the desire and the money to spend on the new Sony portable beast then you should also drop your coin on this, Vaja’s leather made “ivolution suit”.
The ivolution suit is a stylish leather case that wraps around your P Series nicely and stays intact on opening and closing. There are a few different designs, starting from $180, they are handcrafted and of course customisable.
However, if you don’t want to spend nearly 200 smackers for a decent looking one you might also want to consider the “classic Retro Slim Jacket” which is basically a leather envelope that doesn’t offer as much protection but still gives a distinct stylish design.

BenQ’s all in one iMac like nScreen i91 was announced last month and has finally arrived in Asia (though we think its also available in Australia, please confirm if anyone knows!). Though we don’t exactly know whether this iMac competitor may be arriving any other countries at the moment, the i91 does look to be a piece of cool gadget for websurfing and daily use. The i91 contains two key “Yukon” parts: the Sempron 210U processor and the M690E integrated chipset. The Sempron runs at 1.5GHz and is coupled with 1GB of 667MHz DDR 2 memory. The i91 can be picked up with either 4 to 16GB of solid-state storage, or 120 to 250GB hard drive capacity. On board is also 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, 10.100Mb/s Ethernet and a pair of USB 2.0 ports.

A second supercar could appear based on the FXX development program, we think it far more likely that one vehicle will prevail, borrowing on themes and components from both the Millechili and the FXX test-bed.With the Enzo now out of production, and no mega-super-car in the Ferrari stable, the prancing stallion brand believes the Millechili concept, first revealed at the automaker’s 60th anniversary extravaganza, to move from the realm of conceptual toilet paper tubes to production.
The buff book’s sources report Ferrari is looking to see the Ferrari Millechili hit the streets as a 2010 model.One approach is reportedly being based on the Millechili concept, which as you’ll recall was essentially a chopped-down Enzo crafted out of cardboard and plastic holding the promise of environmentally-friendly specs. The production vehicle is tipped to be based on the F430’s platform remember that the 288 GTO and F40 were based on modified 308 underpinnings – but feature a 600hp V10 in a lightweight 1000kg package, with a lengthened wheelbase of around 104 inces, a $500,000 price tag and a production run of 300.

The best phone for games catalogue is APPLE iPHONE 8GB – Apple’s online App Store has thousands of games (free to £5.99). you can make good use of the motion sensor and some even enlist the built-in microphone as a control.Its 8GB storage holds hundreds of games, and the 3.5in screen is the biggest here. It also has the highest resolution, which makes games look rich and detailed.It’s a great phone but gaming kills its battery backup in less than a day.

This neat new robotic technology developed by the scientists over at the University of Munich Hospital. The EyeSeeCam has been developed to track the viewpoint of the user’s pupils, this as a result then transmits data to servo actuators that can control any number of mechanical devices imaginable.
Examples include a video cameras or even a robot. It sounds extremely simple to use, in fact, the EyeSeeCam has been practically developed to adapt to us, humans.
In terms of technical specs. the device can be operated remotely via wireless lan and only requires a standard laptop with a 6-pin firewire port. While the German scientists originally created the EyeSeeCam to study patient cognitive behavior, it looks like they will also soon capitalise on the device and its idea for some profit within the commercial market.
What’s interesting is I wonder whether they have thought about helping patients with “locked in” syndrome, probably one of the most tragic results of brain injury. This technology would definitely be of therapeutic benefit in terms of helping these patients to gain more physical communication. It would be great to find out more.

Microsoft is to start offering effectively from tomorrow (5th May) all users free access to Windows 7 for one full year. Some of you who have friends that are MSDN or TechNet subscribers may already realise that they have been given this privileged access.
While this is only the Release Candidate (RC) version and will eventually expire on the 1st of June, 2010. The RC as you will expect is basically the finishing product and Microsoft presumably wants to hand it out to all users to test run it and see if any bugs exists so that they may fix it before its final release. Though it must be said, one full year is quite a lengthy period, this does indicate how seriously Microsoft is considering their new OS this time which is a positive thing.
While rumors say it’ll be late 2009 or early 2010 before the full Windows 7 will be available, there is still no official info on the exact date this at this point. Neither do we know whether there will be multiple versions of the new Windows just like Vista did. Windows 7 will be a full package of new features including a new taskbar, libraries, jump lists, and even a Windows XP mode to increase application and software compatibility after you’ve upgraded to Windows 7.
Most importantly, booting up Windows 7 is expected to take much much less time than any of Microsoft’s current OS’s. Let’s just hope Microsoft’s servers won’t go bust tomorrow and that the download will actually work, fingerscrossed!

Straight after the Easter long weekend, Nikon has now announced the recently much rumored D5000. With a 2.7-inch articulating display, the D5000 is equipped with a 12.3 megapixel DX-format sensor that maxes out at ISO 3200 with a 4fps burst rate, sports one-button Live View, and 720/24p movie mode. Other features include an 11-point AF system with 3D focus tracking and 19 scene modes. With a number of high end features, the price tag is pretty heavy as well, the D5000 will cost $849 with a 18-55 VR kit lens, or $729 for just the body – not surprisingly, this price tag is just under that of the Canon T1i.

From BusinessWeek’s sources, Verizon Wireless is in talks with Apple to launch two new iPhone-like devices as early as this summer: iPhone Lite and Apple Media Pad.
iPhone Lite is smaller, thinner and cheaper than the current iPhone 3G. It is intended predominantly for calls rather than the full gamut of smartphone functionality. The reason iPhone Lite is much cheaper than existing iPhone is that it relies on a so-called system on a chip, which incorporates many types of chips and drives down the cost of silicon in such devices. The new chip could also potentially be used in the media pad.
As for the Apple Media Pad, which would be something bigger than a cellphone but smaller than a netbook. It is basically similar to the size of a Amazon Kindle 2 but with a full touchscreen. It allows users watching HD video, listening to music and doing other things. The Apple Media Pad would also support VoIP over its WiFi connection.

Check out this wooden iPhone case, made from cedar and pine wood. I don’t know about you but from my untrained eyes, this case looks to be well done, you can take photos from your iPhone too without needing to take it apart. While it may look abit bulky, the creater – greenhousefx has done a terrific job of perfecting this wooden case and has even done a nice Apple logo at the back.

The name Microsoft SideWinder has been associated since a long time with several gaming peripherals like gamepads or joysticks, until Microsoft has stopped producing them.
Recently Microsoft started to use the SideWinder brand again for its new product, SideWinder Mouse, designed especially for games, that comes with a spectacular feature, the Quick Turn macro button for turning character 180 degrees.
In addition, it integrates an LCD screen for showing the sensitivity of the mouse at that moment allowing visualization of the macros bound to mouse buttons.
Other characteristics include DPI switching with the use of three buttons designed for this feature, that allow instant switching between DPI 400, 800, and 2000; three different materials for slide preference; adjustable mouse weights by selecting from 4 variants between 5 and 30 grams 5 gram increments.
As a general description, the mouse has resolution of 2000 dpi; processes images with 7080 fps; the acceleration can reach 20G; maximum speed is 45 inches per second; the left and right buttons support up to 9 million clicks.
The product will be available in October at a price of 79.95 US dollars.

Sony is finally starting to show off the PlayStation 3’s potential. Killzone 2 has received praise for its ultra-realistic graphics and exciting gameplay. MLB: The Show could easily be the best baseball game and perhaps the sports game of the year. Now PS3 owners are now anxiously waiting for even more hits — and Sony has them coming, but the question is; when will they arrive in stores.
One of these titles is Zipper Interactive’s high-profile game MAG. The massively multiplayer online shooting was first announced at last year’s E3. But since its unveiling, it has been a blur of when we should expect to get out hands on it. For some reason, Sony has been going back and forth using the terms “this year” and “fiscal year.” If your wondering if there is a difference; the answer is yes — and its a HUGE difference (depending how you look at it). This year would obviously mean by the end of 2009, while fiscal (for Sony) means anywhere from April 2009 to March 2010.
Scott Rohde who is Sony’s Vice President of Product Development, might have given us a little insight of when MAG should be available. While talking about the quality of the PS3’s lineup for 2009, he mentioned the shooter.
“I think what we try to do is come up with original concepts, and even twists on some existing genres, like what we’re doing with MAG for later this year”
Because we are still in March, 2009-2010’s fiscal year for Sony has yet to start. Meaning, MAG should debut by the end of 2009. Unless of course, Sony sends the PR dogs out and they correct Mr Rohde, which is always possible. Until then, expect to be playing the shooter sometime later this year.

There has never been an official transition of the handheld gaming console over to the mobile phone segment. Of course you understand it was never necessary in the first place. Both devices are portable in nature and the purpose of using the handset for merely taking calls like a telephone quickly became obsolete. But I’ve said this before; mobile gaming is a big deal, ever since those Snake games on the old monochrome handsets of yore were followed by Java games that are still big time winners today.
The mobile phone market now even has a separate category of multimedia handsets for this specific purpose – gaming. Some gaming mobiles are more generic in nature but do still manage to offer superb capabilities to be used for handheld mobile gaming. In case you like to take your games everywhere and already have a Nintendo DS or PSP or other portable gaming devices that satisfy your fetish for gaming hardware, here’re a few mobiles phones you might want to consider.
Spice X1 Rs. 8,000
Spice’s X1 gaming mobile may have taken mobile gaming to the next level by reviving an older SE idea of a joystick attachment accessory for a mobile phone. The X1 comes bundled with this attachable controller that makes game-play a great experience. The handset itself also comes with a set of ‘X’ and ‘O’ action keys and you don’t necessarily need to use the controller.
Spice has preloaded a few JAVA games onto the handset and provides quite a few games in the NES ROM format. Nostalgic gamers will enjoy this. You can choose from a list of those oldies but good, 8 bit classics like Batman, Mario and even Kung Fu. It has a large 2.4-inch TFT LCD with a 240 x 320 pixel resolution that only helps while playing and also features a microSD card slot, Stereo Bluetooth, a 2MP camera and GPRS support among other things.
Sony Ericsson F305 – Rs. 9,000
The F305 could very well be SE’s flagship mobile for a possible range of new gaming handsets, since Sony is no stranger to the gaming market with their PSP rating quite high on the handheld gaming console segment of gadgetry.
The handset may have just one drawback and that’s its small 2-inch display that sports a 176 x 220 pixel resolution; but it makes up for that with plenty of other relevant features. The handset has been designed with two gaming styles in mind – motion sensor and full screen landscape games. The motion sensor games allow you to use the device like a Wii controller by swinging your arms for action. Since the handset also comes with ‘X’ and ‘O’ gaming keys on either side of the earpiece, games that can be played in landscape mode are much more entertaining. Other features include an audio player, FM radio and a 2MP camera plus Bluetooth with A2DP and GPRS/EDGE support. It supports JAVA games and M2 cards for external memory.
Nokia N85 - Rs. 23, 000
Nokia’s N-Series has always been a popular range of mobile handsets because of their multimedia capabilities. One of the successors to the N81 handset that was the first to host Nokia’s N-Gage gaming platform and was designed for gaming purposes, the N85, takes it up a notch with its dual-slider capabilities and 5MP AF camera.
The N85 is also being classified as a gaming handset because of its superb 2.5-inch, 240 x 320 pixel, 16 million color, OLED display. The once-dedicated-multimedia-keys that appear from the top double as gaming keys for the phone. The handset does seem a bit heavy though at 128g, but that only adds to the stability of the phone in your hand while gaming. It’s also equipped with a microSD card slot, Stereo Bluetooth, internal GPS (AGPS Support), TV out, and Wi-fi. It supports JAVA and .SIS game formats. Look out for the review on Tech2.com.

MIT researchers working on rechargeable battery technology believe they may have discovered a breakthrough that will significantly improve battery charging times.
As to how fast, professor Gerbrand Ceder indicates that a small lithium-ion battery, those commonly found in cell phones could be recharged in under 10 seconds. Additionally, large batteries such as those that will power plug-in gas or electric cars could be recharged in just a few minutes.
The improvements in battery charge times are due to a coat of lithium phosphate which forces the battery to charge in short but intense bursts.
Researchers indicate that they have already licensed the new technology to unnamed companies and expect to see this technology enter the marketplace in the next two to three years.

For all the things Mark Wahlberg has killed in his life — The Happening, The Funky Bunch, The Happening Funky Bunch (short-lived kids show, don’t ask) — he’s brought at least one thing back to life: The Max Payne series. His non-hit film adaptation will be followed by Max Payne 3, which Rockstar said will arrive in winter of this year on the 360, PS3 and PC.
Here’s what Rockstar boss Sam Houser had to say about the sequel: “We’re starting a new chapter of Max’s life with this game. This is Max as we’ve never seen him before, a few years older, more world-weary and cynical than ever. We experience the downward spiral of his life after the events of Max Payne 2 and witness his last chance for salvation.”
We think we speak for everyone when we ask this. … More cynical? Really? Like, is he just stealing candy from babies and choking them to death with the wrappers?

How do you grab attention for your upcoming straight-to-DVD animated film? Say stuff like “1,500-foot-long armored zeppelins” and “steam-powered battle tripods.” Oh, and “sex in the cockpit” probably didn’t hurt, either.
War of the Worlds: Goliath promises all of that and more, according to a rough synopsis on the Heavy Metal Magazine Fan Page by director Joe Pearson:
It’s an R-rated, retro-history, [1914 steampunk epic], fourteen years after the first failed Martian invasion. Mankind has rebuilt her cities and [the military is] adapting a lot of the abandoned Martian technology… Think of “Band of Brothers” meets “Star Wars”… It will be cool, steam-powered battle tripods, doomed Cossack cavalry charges, Victorian deco, steampunk Manhattan, 1,500-foot-long armored battle zeppelins, Teddy Roosevelt, souped up tri-planes, blood on steaming metal, sex in the cockpit. The usual… It will have a budget of around $3 million, and be produced by Tripod Entertainment… and is being co-produced by Kevin Eastman (owner of Heavy Metal).

The first piece of downloadable content for Call of Duty: World at War is now available on Xbox Live and (coming later today on) PSN. For 800 ($9.99), you can pick up four new maps for Activision’s WWII shooter: “Station,” a close-quarters underground encounter; “Nightfire,” a large battlefield depicting a bombed-out Berlin; “Knee Deep,” a huge, jungle-based scenario; and “Verrückt,” the promised Nazombie expansion, which, aside from meriting its own trailer (posted after the jump), contains additional weapons, Perks-a-Cola machines and “electroshock defenses.” Man, we had no idea history could be so totally awesome.

The military just took one huge step toward making a laser weapon a functional reality. Northrop Grumman just announced a successful test of a 100-kilowatt laser, considered battlefield strength.
This solid-state laser is not as powerful as a chemical laser, but it can be powered by a jet or tank engine, and is much smaller. Unlike the lasers we’re used to, this one will have a beam that’s invisible. Bummer.
Unfortunately, it’s still a few years and $100 million away from being used in the field. The problem is reducing the size, weight and cost of the laser guns. Dr. Brian Strickland, manager of the Army’s Joint High Power Solid State Laser program said, “The next step would be to take the laser from the laboratory to the field and begin shooting down missiles with it.” He also said that they want to get the cost down. “We want to have a laser that costs $15 to $20 million.” Don’t we all?

Be it New York or Beijing, today luxury residences are on the upswing, the stylistic cues offered by W Hotels across the world has made it a regular as far as luxury accommodation is concerned soon, a new W-styled apartment is coming up at the south of the World Trade Center in New York City.
W Residents would be sharing the building with the hotel guests in the lower portion of Manhattan, but some of the luxury facilities like the rooftop terrace, fitness center and spa in the sky, will solely be for the permanently residents staying in the upper floors of the luxury tower.
The building’s façade is not merely about aesthetics, as the bands will also create shading from the daylight, deflect heat, guarantee every residence will have the highest degree of privacy, and simultaneously frame unparalleled views out across Manhattan.
The Loft Residences on the lower levels have a double-height living area that maximizes the light entering the space. The height of the great room continues on through a gallery where a white lacquered library wall ascends up into the second level.
The upper-tier City Residences feature integrated terraces off the main living areas, and all units are custom-fitted with B&B Italia kitchens and built-ins throughout. The master bathrooms feature a circular sliding wall that allows the bathroom to become part of the bedroom and share its spectacular city views.
And for those at the top, the five ultra-luxurious Sky Penthouses are unmatched in practically every aspect. Again, B&B Italia has masterfully crafted the space, including the kitchen. Sweeping views from every room, even the master bathroom, automatically heighten the occupants’ awareness of their place in the cityscape and the surrounding environment.

The challenge of the design brief was to create a design solution that enabled greater and easier levels of user interaction. The easy to understand keypad combined with the hand-writing recognition technology provides great information ergonomics for the user. Another of the video phone key selling points is its dual mode functionality. The phones keypad can be locked into place to provide a sturdy stand/rest to allow users to sit back enjoy the video calling experience.

What do you have to do to get one? It’s easy, just check out the five DLC codes we’ve got after the break, and be the first to guess the missing character and enter the code into Xbox Live. If you don’t get one there, you can follow our Twitter, where we’ll be giving away three more codes. Why? Because we love you. Just do us a solid and let us know in the comments if you get one.

Sometimes I buy a soda and notice a little gunk on the rim. So what do I do? I wipe it off or grab a straw. I hear some folks even run ‘em under hot water thinking it’ll disinfect it. Serious soda drinkers, however, let their soft drinks chill in a Cole Cleaner for a few minutes.
A concept by designer Leon Peng, the Cole Cleaner (not a typo) will treat your soda of choice to a little bacteria-killing UV radiation. Call me crazy, but this seems like a pretty extreme way to enjoy a soda. Granted, I’d rather not think about what gross stuff there could be on top of the can, but it only does one drink at a time, and only soft drink cans. If you’re drinking enough soda to need something like this, the stuff in the can has probably already built your resistance up to the crud on the outside.

I don’t know about you, but when I was in junior high school, those big honking pens that would change from red to blue to black ink were the bomb. All the cool kids had one. Those kids are all grown up now.
Japanese stationary designer Metaphys has designed a pen that kicks that old pen’s butt. The sleek, trim Locus 3WAY pen, selling for about $55, has an ink pen, mechanical pencil and eraser — all just one click away.
While the triple design is certainly reason enough to pick up a pen like this, the designer thinks that the clip is the real deal.
“Writing items are personal objects, which reflect the personality of the owner. Most pens have only subtle differences in writing function. METAPHYS has therefore focused on how the pen’s clip is displayed outwardly on a chest pocket. The stroke-like clip has become an icon representative of METAPHYS writing instruments.”

Here’s a nice update to the classic boring walking stick. It adds a few extra features that make using a walking stick far more convenient. The big perk being that the stick is housed with LED lights. Making walking at night a lot easier to do and definitely a lot more safe. Even better is that the LED lights shine in two different directions. One shines up ahead and the other at your feet, making it highly less likely you’ll stumble over any unseen objects.
The Slik-Stik walking stick has other nice features such as having a built-in magnet for when items are dropped. It also has a wrist strap to make sure you don’t drop the cane itself, there is also a rubberized hand grip with a non-slip coating to prevent dropping. The cane has a four position stem that will adjust to the height that is most comfortable for you. It also folds up to make it easier to store when it’s not in use. To power the lights you can either plug it in or wind it up for a slightly more eco-friendly approach
