PNY Technologies Inc. presented us with the v112b last month, and now the worldwide leading manufacturer of DRAM and Flash memory product has once again introduced a new product through their authorized HP partnership. The v240b and v240g are two new flash drives following the minuscule profile that was seen in the v112b.

The elegant design means to symbolize the tidiness and coherent professional feeling making it perfect for business people. Available in two colours – blue and green – it comes in no-nonsense plastic casing.

With a rugged body and a potective cap, the USB is protected from dust, water, and shock thanks to its strong polymer body. The keyhole on the cap allows to attach a lanyard to avoid losing your data by attaching it to you purse, keychain or other safe ‘attachment point.’

The COB packaging gives the drive its small dimension of 7 x16 x 31 mm as well as its weight of 4.2 grams, making it an ultra portable data storing device.

Capacities start from a common 2GB to whooping 32GB, including 4,8 and 16GB in between. Through a USB 2.0 interface, read and write speeds reach up to 18MB/s and 8MB/s respectively.

The v240b/v240g come with a two year warranty and is compatible with Windows 2000, XP, Vista 7 as well as Mac OS 10.3 and above.

The novelty bears the name REGZA 55X3 and will hit stores in Japan in mid-December 2011.

The TV shares the same 55-inch Quad Full HD (QFHD) display that is found in the Toshiba ZL2 TV set. Resolution is 4096×2160. In fact the REGZA 55X3 seems to be the same model with the same CEVO Engine processing platform and face tracking technology that adjusts the panel’s nine-parallax viewing positions to the viewers’ position by moving the lenslets as required. As mentioned users are not required to wear 3D glasses as the TV image will come straight with 3D effects.

With the increase in competition for gaining in market shares of in mobile segment, more and more companies are joining in the bandwagon of mobile phone development. Each new technology giant has started out their venture in the field of mobile phones looking at the market scenario. The progress of one tech giant in this field has compelled the other to look forward to enter the race of letting people mobile with their technology in their hands. With major players like Apple and Google entering the scene, windows followed suit too and came up with its own brand of Windows phones. So with it came the desktop windows technology into your hands as well, and this is surely a big innovative development. Everyone is quite fond of the windows operating system, and the main reason for that is the easy to use features that are available with it and when this thing also gets to our phones, then its bound to be a good affair. The launch of the Windows Phone UK is a step towards this direction and is bound to create flutters in the mobile technology segment.

With windows jumping the gun, other players might chip in with their bit too. However, with the kind of advantage that the Windows Phone UK http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-GB/ has over others is quite remarkable. This advantage is not just limited with the fact that they have thrown themselves into the arena with their goodwill of years behind, but is also dependent on the specifications these phones provide is also quite brilliant. The phone’s home screen is swarmed with Hubs. These hubs consist of various sorts of categories, like People, office, work, games, pictures, etc. Also. Each of those hubs gets sub-divided into many other categories, like the people include you calling, messaging and social-networking groups.

All the hooking up with your friends can be done with the help of the following features. These features include the fact that they help you stay in touch with many of the people across the timeline. Moreover, the phone is quite rich in terms of apps and games. The Windows Phones Apps & Games can be easily used from the marketplace, it provides us with the option of integrating with games from an x-box too which is something that will never let us bore ourselves, and it is also quite a thing from work perspective, laded with the Microsoft Office, which will be a very productive addition to your phone and will help in your work as well.

In many respects the two phones are very similar. They have a strikingly similar physical design with both phones looking like the majority of handsets that have been released by HTC in recent years. The most obvious difference between the two is with the screens. Both feature 4.3″ qHD LCD screens with an excellent colour depth of 16 million colours. However, the Evo also offers 3D technology in the same form as that found on the Nintendo 3DS.

This is the main difference between the two phones. The Evo could be thought of as the HTC Sensation for the 3D generation. So the question is, do you want faux-3D effects on your phone? It may be fun for games or 3D video watching but it is easy to see it becoming quite annoying after a while. You can turn it off of course, although the 3D system used by the Evo does have its limitations.

Even though you don’t need glasses to use it, the 3D effect is limited to certain viewing angles. This could make extended use a little bit problematic. However, considering that there is little else different to the Sensation, surely it is better to have this additional goodie to play around with should you wish to. It is also a great little feature to show off to friends, as at present there is a very limited number of phones with 3D capabilities.

Both phones are highly powered with 1.2GHz processors and the latest Gingerbread Android, although the Evo has more memory on offer with 1GB compared to the Sensation’s 768MB. HTC Sense is also present on both phones, as well as Android Market and a whole host of entertainment features including games, video and music. Web browsing is also fantastic on both phones with the larger screens being ideal for an enjoyable experience and with high speed 3G and Wi-Fi connections on offer.

The Evo 3D has yet to make an appearance outside of the United States, although the Sensation is already flying off the shelves. The question is, should you put off buying the Sensation to wait for the Evo? Maybe, maybe not. The Evo has already been delayed 3 times in the UK and looks set to be delayed again. What’s more the Sensation is the top smartphone dog at the moment and only has one clear rival. Coming without 3D should also make the Sensation a lot cheaper to purchase. The question really is, are you really that bothered about 3D?

How much does it cost?

The first thing that will strike you when it comes to set top boxes is the sheer number available. There’s something for every budget, so if you’re looking for value for money don’t be fooled into paying over the odds for a top-of-the-line box if it does essentially the same job as one you could get for half the price. Both Freesat and Freeview set top boxes can be picked up relatively cheaply if you shop around.

Which channels will you get?

Not all set top boxes are equal, so make sure you know what you’re buying. Each box will be compatible with one particular content provider with differing HD output, so be sure that the machine you plump for will give you the channels you desire. A Freesat HD or Freeview HD box will allow you to view content for free after your one-off payment for the box, while Virgin Media and Sky HD boxes offer a higher number of HD channels but come with a significant monthly subscription charge. Research your options and see which one works best for you.

What functionality does it offer?

You have a choice when buying your set top box: pay a lower amount for a basic box that will simply provide the content, or pay a little more and get a box that will offer greater functionality. It’s possible to buy digital TV recorders with a Freeview or Freesat tuner built in, allowing users to both receive content and record it for consumption at a later date.

How many tuners does it have?

If you’re going for a digital TV recorder version, then it’s important to check how many tuners the box has. If it only has a single tuner then you won’t be able to watch a different channel while recording. If it has two tuners, you’ll be able to record one channel while watching another – or record two channels at a time if you’re going to be away from the TV.

What does it look like?

It won’t be important to everyone, but have a think about if the specific box you’re thinking about buying will fit in with the aesthetic of your living room. It might be the case that you can get a similar box with a sleeker look for a similar price if you shop around, so make sure you’ve scouted out all of your options.
