First of all, sorry for the absence of my blogging but now It’s time to start over again. First on the agenda is Samsung saying that their TVs and monitors will be using OLED technology from next year and as soon as 2010 there will be flexible displays. Samsung plans to manufacture 3 million panels in 2009 and double that in 2010. These might be small numbers compared to LCD production but nevertheless it’s a step in the right direction. I just love Sonys small, overly expensive OLED dislpays. I would never in a million years buy one, but the image quality of these first generation production OLED displays is a sure way of pointing out where the future is headed.

Was looking around on the net this morning, and stumbled upon yet another Mp4 watch. I’ve always questioned the desire to have one of these… I really don’t get it. I mean if you want to watch a movie you’d want the biggest screen possible, not the smallest. You might argue that you want it to be portable, but there are numerous products out there that offer a better video experience (among them iPod touch, which is my personal favorite). I think the wish to have a video watch is connected to the premature desires of being a secret agent or a member of Star Trek. That’s probably why the video wath concept feels so geeky. Anyway here are some of the specs for this product:

• Memory 4 GB
• OLED 1.5″
• 160 x 128 OLED
• 38 x 40 x 13 mm

I guess this watch looks decent considering the geeky feeling I get from it but the OLED watch I mentioned in a previous post looks better.

I was what you could call a late bloomer when it comes to the brand HTC. Even my dad beat me to it which is (considering my intrests) pretty amazing. He actually bought one before I knew about them. The HTC touch is a newer model though.

Some people see the HTC touch as a alternative to iPhone, and in some ways I agree. It’s like the slightly less good PC/Windows version of iPhone, and I think it suits its consumers well. I mean… I would probably never buy it since I consider myself a Mac person, thus would I never pay to use a PC/windows based product. But HTC touch intrigues a broad portion of todays market. After all most people still use Windows and PCs. For this segment of the market this phone is ideal. The HTC touch could probably make my dad drool, but Im not that impressed. But I shouldnt be putting down HTC, because its really not their fault. I will probably never buy a HTC and that’s that, its not because they don’t make good phones… it’s because they make wrong phones.

If you want more information about the actual product (and not my jibberish) check out Testfreaks.com they have loads of info on HTC touch.

This sweet creation is truly beautiful. The headset is called BH-101 and it first appeared on the SEMA convention in Las Vegas this year 2008. The speak time is said to be 8 hours, and the standby time is at remarkable 180 hours. The model will be released before christmas and will cost approximately 30 euros.

Sony Ericsson launch one awesome cell phone after the other… and Nokia seem to be clueless. A couple of years ago it was the other way around. Ericsson made phones that looked aweful and Nokia recognized the need to combine design and function.

It’s now 2007, and it seems like  Nokia has fallen in the same trap as Ericsson… or maybe not. Most companies today are aware of the importance of good design. Ericsson used to focus on the technical stuff and ignore the design. Well that was until a couple of years ago when they realized they had large parts of their market share to competitors. Ever since Ericsson and Sony joined forces, they’ve launched one beautiful creation after the other. But what happend to Nokia?? Sure, I admit that they do try… but somehow they fail in the end. I believe that Nokia needs to find their own style. In my opinion Sony Ericsson have found their, like Apple has found their… And Nokia is more or less like LG they just try to take other designs and change it into their own. But it doesn’t fit… it rarely does, it feels forced and fake.
Maybe Nokia should get a new design department, cause they sure as h**** dont make me want to  buy their products.

The model is called DC-C840 and packs the new cool face recognition feature and a 8 megapixel sensor. The photos are stored on SD cards and sizes up to 4 GB are supported.

I love the compact and neat design. Since I’m not really the professional photographer I want my digital cameras to be slim and as small as possible so I can bring it with me wherever I go.

Another nice design feature is the large display on the back of the camera. Even though I like my gadgets small, I want to be able to see and read on the displays. Additionally the controls seems to be pretty simple, I hate devices with to many buttons… It confuses me.

The iPod Video Goggles are here. Even though the design is pretty boring, I think the idea is pretty neat. Looks as if they’ve gone more for function than design. But honestly isn’t this the wet dream of every 1980s nerd who followed Star Trek? I would have wanted a pair of those if they had more Apple-like design. Now it looks like something made by Logitech (not that sexy). And why the hell did they put the logo there. The question, however, is if you would want to be seen in public with those on. The chances of picking up a girl on the subway or on the bus gets pretty much as close to zero as you can get. I mean not even Jude Law could pick up a girl with those on. People would think you are on your way to a Star Trek convention.

If you are interested in knowing more about these shades checkout ThinkGeek. I would recommend you to think twice before buying them though. After all, pretty girls rarely understand the cravings of a techfreak

The swedish site Prylfeber.se wrote today about the new Cybershot cell phone from  Sony Ericsson, but the guys at Prylfeber aren’t that impressed saying that “…not much is new”.

The K770 uses a 3.2 mega pixel camera and has GPRS and 3G. Even though much is what you could expect, I at least thought the design was delicious. Apparently the only differance between the K770 and the K810 is the design and the fact that it’s thinner and weight less.

Engadget mentioned today the Canons iVIS HG10 camcorder that is planned to be released in september. The HG10 records 1,920 x 1,080 video and saves them on a 40GB disk drive. However the post doesnt say that much about the model. Been trying to find some more info about the product but haven’t had any luck so far. Well there is this site about the HG10, but I lack some competence in japanese. The HG10 looks nice though.
