    Netgear Unveils New Powerline Adapters

    Netgear has launched new powerline kits that provide data transfer speeds of up to 500Mbps on a user’s electrical outlets.


    Click to enlarge

    The Netgear Powerline AV 500 Adapter Kit (XAVB5001) is smaller than a deck of cards and up to 50 percent smaller than competing products, while the Powerline AV+ 500 Adapter Kit (XAVB5501) offers a cutting-edge integrated filtered power socket for “pass-through” capability. This will enable customers to connect a wide range of power-hungry and electrically noisy devices while still maintaining the highest performance. Both powerlines promise speeds of up to 500 Mbps, whole-home coverage and good performance.

    Netgear’s Managing Director for Australia and New Zealand, Ryan Parker said, “Netgear continues to drive its leadership in the Powerline networking space in a global capacity through providing innovative, high performance products. The Australian market has been slow to adopt Powerline technology for in home distribution of network access, the Internet and personal media.”

    “However with the advent of Home Plug AV (200MB) and now the Powerline AV+ range, we are excited by the enthusiasm from our channel partners to take on the challenge of educating the Australian and NZ consumers on the benefits of using Powerline to internet connect every room in the home for hi def media streaming,” added Parker.

     

    The adapters incorporate the latest in technology innovations and are designed to be compatible with the draft international IEEE P1901 powerline standard. Thus, these solutions provide greater speeds for bandwidth-hungry applications such as lag-free Internet gaming, Voice over IP (VoIP), large file transfers to networked devices, and even simultaneous 1080p HD video streaming to multiple TVs throughout the home.

    Features of the new Powerline include:

    • 500 Mbps PHY rates and Gigabit link rates
    • Backwards compatibility with other HomePlug AV products from NETGEAR, as well as other installed HomePlug AV-certified products from other vendors.
    • Designed for compatibility with the draft IEEE P1901 global standard for high-speed powerline communications.
    • Ideal for use with Internet-connected devices that demand high bandwidth, such as the NETGEAR Digital Entertainer Express (EVA9100), Elite (EVA9150) and Live (EVA2000) digital media players, Blu-ray players, TiVo, AppleTV, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, DVRs and network-enabled TVs.

    Local pricing will be announced at a later date.

    Get Lost With GPS Walkman Phone

    Sony has unveiled a 3G Walkman phone that comes with an inbuilt GPS that will prevent users from getting lost. The new Sony Ericsson W760 will also allow users to download music and data faster than ever, as it will be utilising Telstra’s Next G network.


    Click to enlarge
    Besides offering music functionality, the unit also comes with an inbuilt GPS. Powered by Whereis, users can access Whereis Maps and Navigation for turn by turn directions. It also comes with a large 2.2-inch colour screen capable of displaying 262k colours, as well as a 3.2-megapixel camera with 2.5 x digital zoom and video.

    Sony Ericsson Oceania’s Head of Marketing, Josh Oxspring said, “People today are always on the move so it’s important that they can stay in touch and have their entertainment at their fingertips. At Sony Ericson we want to energise our consumer’s lifestyles and as we know people always have their mobiles on them – it seems natural we ensure all the necessary functionality is right there when they need it.”

    Telstra’s Executive Director for Consumer Marketing and Channels, Ms. Glenice Maclellan said, “The new W760 incorporates the new Telstra Mobile Code Reader which can be used to scan a Telstra Mobile Code (also known as a QR code), an innovative new way to quickly access mobile internet and content. All customers need to do is scan mobile codes that appear on print and online advertisements, on flyers, billboards and LCDs – the possibilities are endless. We expect this new technology to be extremely popular with our customers as we have seen in the Japanese and UK markets”.

     

    To celebrate the launch of the W760, Sony Ericsson and Sneaky Sound System have partnered to offer Telstra customers and music lovers alike a complete music solution with exclusive mobile content from Sneaky Sound System’s new album ‘2’ available from 16 August, 2008. Incorporating the unique Telstra Mobile Codes, consumers will have access to wallpapers, screensavers, ringtones and even a full yet to be released track.

    “The W760 fits perfectly into this lifestyle. It is bold, action-packed and along with the Sneaky Sound System partnership takes the Walkman phone beyond just music, this is an incredibly exciting product that hits all the right notes,” added Mr. Oxspring.

    The Sony Ericsson W760 will launch through Telstra shops and dealers from 7 July 2008 for $879 and will also be available on a $60 Phone Plan over 24 months.

    Maxtor Armoured Drive For Total Data Protection

    The new portable hard drive from Maxtor will provide you with government-grade security, thanks to its encrypting storage solution.


    Click to enlarge
    Named BlackArmour, this new device claims to provide AES government-grade encryption solution that protects against ‘unauthorised access to valuable and private information.’

    Using Seagate Secure technology, Maxtor’s BlackArmour drive is designed to keep data locked up and protected in the event of loss or theft. Seagate Secure technology is a hardware-based encryption, making the encryption transparent to the user and free of complicated installation and use procedures required by software-based security.

    This device provides transparent, real-time encryption of all that data on the device, not just selected files; providing performance and ease of use advantages over manual software-based security controls. The BlackArmour product also puts all security keys and cryptographic operations within the device, delivering protection against hacking and tampering.

     

    Senior Analyst of Information Security at Enterprise Strategy Group, John Oltsik said, “Government regulations on organisations that manage confidential and personal information continue to get more stringent, making security of sensitive information a mission-critical requirement. Unfortunately, this is a monumental set of tasks that organisations are faced with, when confidential data is created, copied, and stored across the enterprise at an ever-increasing rate from data centre systems to desktop and mobile devices.”

    Seagate Asia Pacific’s vice President and managing Director, BanSeng Teh said, “Maxtor storage solutions are focused on security and back up of your valued digital assets. BlackArmour is an innovative new product that delivers on the promise of providing our customers with a level of security that is both reliable and robust, for a plug-and-play, easy-to-manage storage device.”

    Availability and Pricing:

    The Maxtor BlackArmour will be available in 160GB and 320GB and will have an RRP of $179 and $259, respectively.

    BenQ Announces World’s Slimmest LED Monitors

    BenQ has launched two new LED monitors that claim to be the slimmest in the world.

    Click to enlarge
    According to BenQ, the V2420H and V2420HP are the world’s slimmest LED monitors. These new monitors use LED backlighting that consume around 44 percent less power and up to 71 percent less whilst used in BenQ’s exclusive ‘Eco’ mode compared to CCFL monitors. The shell of the new V Series monitors is produced from 28 percent recycled plastic, giving the product a distinct environmental edge.

    In addition, the new monitors offer full 1080p High-Definition (HD) at 16:9 aspect ratio, with images being enhanced with BenQ’s Senseye Human Visual Technology.

    BenQ Australia’s General Manager, Chee Chung said, “The new V2410 provides an amazing 5,000,000:1 ultra-high contrast ratio, while the new ultra-slim 15mm thick V2420 Series provides an amazing 10,000,000:1 ultra-high dynamic contrast ratio.  This equates to picture quality that is brighter and more balanced, but most impressively, they cost significantly less to run than their predecessors.”

    “LED technology is the revolutionary way forward for display monitors and televisions offering a reduction in power consumption, more balanced display properties, a longer lifespan and lighter weight,” added Chung.

    The company is also set to launch the V2410T, a monitor that is height adjustable for added versatility and comfort.  

    The BenQ V2420H, V2420HP, and V2410T are available now for $479.00, $479 (glare panel), and $549, respectively.

    Asus Unveils USB Monitor

    Asus has released a monitor that is able to display video signals without using your computer’s D-sub or DVI port. The new VW223B uses an EzLink (Display Link) technology that uses the existing USB interface in order to spread the vision and screen space of multiple monitors.


    Click to enlarge
    Created for multi-tasking applications, the VW223B can be easily linked to a desktop or notebook to expand viewing. Transferring digital video signals via a USB 2.0 interface, the VW223B can be linked to one or more EzLink monitors – daisy chaining up to six monitors.

    Installation of the EzLink driver is only required once for expansion. Content can then be automatically moved back to the main screen or notebook display when the USB cable is disconnected. Monitors also return to previous configurations after reconnections, lowering the complexity of adding more monitors.

    According to Asus, the VW223B is ideal for users who require a large amount of screen and desktop space. Additionally, with its slim and glossy frame, the VW223B can be used effectively as display devices in commercial and retail business.

     

    The VW223B is also embedded with a 3 port USB hub which allows convenient connections to EzLink displays, as well as other USB devices. Furthermore, the VW223B includes Asus Smart Contract Ratio (ASCR) technology which automatically adjusts the luminance of the backlight and improves the contrast ratio to 3000:1. Asus has also included an Aspect Control feature that enables a user to select a preferred display mode between full and 4:3 modes without distorting the display image.

    A Splendid Video Intelligence technology delivers optimised video performance with intelligent colour, brightness, contract and sharpness corrections, as well as five video preset modes and three skin tone selections.

    The VW223B is a simple and cost-effective multi-viewing solution – little or no training is required and each monitor can be rolled out by entry-level staff, resulting in increased work efficiency, lower deployment costs and reduced overheads.

    The VW223B will be available in Australia in July 2008 with a recommended retail price of $429.

    The most noticeable improvement on the Touch 3D is its TouchFLO interface: it is now more responsive and allowed us to navigate the tabs and press the various icons without any problems. It also comes with a number of connectivity features to help you stay in touch and a number of useful applications for added versatility. Moreover, users may like the Touch’s form factor: it only weighs 96g and is designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand.

    The Touch 3G is 102mm long, 53.6mm wide, and is only 14.5mm thick, which fits perfectly in your pants pocket. There are only a couple of essential buttons on the Touch (a power button, five-way navigation keys, end button, power/standby button, and volume up and down), which makes it simpler to operate. Located at the bottom part of the unit is the sync connector/ earphone jack, while the unit’s stylus is located at the upper right side. HTC has also included a 3.2-megapixel camera, which is located at the back of the unit.

    Removing the back cover reveals the SIM card slot, the battery compartment (uses 1100mAh Li-ion battery), and a microSD card slot for memory expansion. While located inside the back cover, memory cards can be swapped without shutting down the device.

    After starting up the unit, aligning the screen, setting the date and time, and configuring the data connection settings (manually or automatically), HTC’s TouchFLO will automatically kick in and users will be brought to the Home Screen. The 2.8-inch QVGA screen is big enough for its size, with the icons not being too big or too small.

    The Main screen shows the time, call history, and upcoming events, but there are 10 more tabs to choose from. By sliding your finger on the tabs or pressing left/right on the navigation pad, one can immediately have access to People (12 favourite contacts with a photo), Messages, Mail, Internet, Photos and Videos, Music, Weather, Maps Search, Settings, and Programs with quick shortcut icons (up to 18 shortcuts).

    The new generation TouchFLo enabled us to slide our finger across the tabs and scroll thorough the sub-menus without experiencing any problems. And thanks to its 528Mhz Qualcomm chipset and 192MB RAM, the HTC Touch was able to launch programs quickly.

    Composing text messages became a whole lot easier, as HTC has included three different touch input layouts (Phone Keypad, Compact Keypad, and Full QWERTY) in addition to the default input layouts set by Windows Mobile (Block Recogniser, Keyboard, Letter Recogniser, and Transcriber). Despite having large fingers, I did not have a hard time sending messages or composing e-mails.

    The built-in Opera browser displayed various websites properly, although the browser was unable to handle flash files. Since the unit is HSDPA-enabled, websites and YouTube content loaded in just a matter of seconds. If you don’t want to incur additional data charges, you can always turn on the built-in Wi-Fi and surf the Internet wirelessly. The Touch can also be used as a modem by hooking it up to the computer (an option will be available).

    HTC has also included a Weather Tab that displays the current weather as well as a 4-day weather forecast. Users can update the forecast as often as they want and customise the cities to be displayed.

    The Maps function (powered by Google) allowed us to search for nearby points of interest such as ATMs, restaurants, or petrol stations near our location. For example, typing in ‘Petrol’ displayed 11 nearby petrol stations in our location. The entries shown only displays the address, but by clicking on the hyperlink, Google will be able to display the telephone number and the website, with users being able to save it to their contact or get directions.

     

    Received SMS are displayed on the Messages tab. Clicking on any message received automatically shows previous messages sent and received between the two parties. The messages are laid out conversation-style, which made it easy for us to remember what we said.

    Users can also set the unit up to retrieve e-mail from POP3-enabled accounts such as Yahoo or Gmail and can also be configured to synchronise with an Exchange Server. The unit also comes pre-installed with Office Mobile for quick document edits anytime.

    The 3.2-megapixel camera took fairly decent shots, although it did not have any auto focus function, producing some blurred shots in the process. The camera can also be used as a video camera and will capture footages in MPEG4 format. Stored photos and videos are displayed on the ‘Photos and Videos’ tab, with users being able to look at them with a single touch.

    The unit lasted for almost three days with normal use, with the unit’s Wi-Fi occasionally turned on to surf the Internet and update the weather. HTC promises up to 360 minutes of talk time and up to 450 hours of standby time for the Touch 3G.

    Better is probably the word that describes HTC’s Touch 3G. This 3G phone is slick, has an improved TouchFLO interface that resulted to a better touch experience, and is packed with a lot of connectivity options to boot. For those who find Apple’s iPhone too big, then perhaps this small wonder may be worth looking at. The Touch 3G is available now from authorised Brightpoint mobile phone retailers with an RRP of $799.

    According to the company, the two PC-based security cameras feature do-it-yourself (DIY), 15-minute setup; motion-activated e-mail alerts and free remote viewing on any PC with an Internet connection.

    Logitech’s General Manager for ANZ, George Saad said, “Logitech is proud to bring its video security family of products to market in Australia and New Zealand. By harnessing the power of digital video, as well as the PC and Internet technology, we’ve made it easier for you to feel peace of mind in your home or at your business.”

    The first two Logitech video-security cameras are available as starter packs or add-on cameras. They include the Logitech Indoor Video Security Master System, the Logitech Outdoor Video Security Master System, the Logitech Indoor Add-On Camera and the Logitech Outdoor Add-On Camera.

    Logitech’s wireless video security system uses innovative HomePlug technology, which connects and transmits video data over your home’s existing electrical wiring. As a result, you’ll be up and running in 15 minutes – with no new wires to run and no network configuration.

    Once you’ve installed your camera(s), you can watch live video or review recorded video. The intelligent cameras detect motion and record video directly to your PC’s hard drive for easy playback and archiving. To give you easy access, the intuitive PC-based interface lets you easily navigate and set your preferences.

    If there’s motion at your home or business, you can configure the system to send you e-mail or mobile-phone alerts. Additionally, you can log in to your password-protected online account to view live video online from an Internet-connected PC.

    For maximum coverage, you can add up to six Logitech Indoor or Outdoor Cameras in any combination.
