Filed under: High-Tech Reviews, News — crankweb @ 10:22 am

That upcoming mini laptop from Dell that we got the scoop on last month at All Things D just got a name. Engadget’s Dell source coughed up the info that the mini notebook will be called the Dell E, which is an 8.9-inch competitor to the similarly named Asus Eee.

Then there’s the E Slim, which is a 12.1-inch screen, 0.8-inch thick competitor to the MacBook Air and Lenovo X300. Dell’s further segmenting the notebook with E Classic, E Video and E Video+, which has more RAM, flash storage, webcam and Bluetooth. E Slim will get WiMax shortly after its original release date as well.

The smaller Dell E looks to start at $299 in August, whereas the E Slim still has no price, but is supposed to hit August-September.

Qtrax: music downloading free and legal

Access to the musical culture for everyone would it finally here? Imagine being able to download more than 25 million songs free, unlimited, and it legally… Qtrax is a new download service (like the iTunes Store), but it wants to be completely free.

The reason is the presence of commercials when playing MP3, and the impossibility of transfèrer on a portable player, they were usable only with the software provided SongBird. The real problem lies in the fact however that partnerships with the 4 major labels (Universal, SonyBMG, Warner and EMI) are not really established yet, and it is now rather difficult to download a song. Already available for Windows, Mac will have the right from March 18 next year.

P-Per: future competitor of the iPhone?

All touch - so Apple iPhone or LG Viewty - is currently the latest technology developed by manufacturers for their mobile phones. The concept thus takes this system, but in only 7 mm thick!

The P-Per, imagined by the Chocolate Agency, is actually composed of 4 different layers, which contains an LED screen and the other printed circuits. With a display this size, design is then almost completely customizable. To this we add, of course, a digital camera of 3 million pixels, and the ability to recharge the laptop in just 2 minutes!

Haptic Creature looks like Mutant Bunny

Filed under: Uncategorized — crankweb @ 2:38 pm

Roboticist Steve Yohanan has developed the Haptic Creature that looks more like a bunny missing several important facial features to me, and this robot relies on touch feedback as it’s only means of communicating. Boasting pressure sensors all around, this furry, eyeless rabbit robot will be able to sense how it is touched or stroked, responding appropriately by making breathing-like motions, ear wiggles or purring vibrations.

I wonder how will it react to the pain of a power drill - will it’s ears just start twirling crazily until they pop off?
