Designed to be as easy to use as common household appliances, the My Book Essential Edition is available in capacities from 250 GB ($299) to 500 GB ($559).<P>My Book&#8217;s book-shaped enclosure stands vertically, leaving a small footprint and sits naturally in a living room, study or on a book shelve. It features vents around the book&#8217;s &#8216;page ends&#8217;, keeping the hard drive inside cool for long-term reliability. Western Digital says the My Book experience begins when owners plug it into their computer (via USB 2.0). It self-starts, requiring no CDs to insert or separate software to install. Photos, music, video and other content is managed from included software and the My Book powers down and restarts with the PC it&#8217;s linked to.</P><P>&#8220;The My Book family is the next generation in external storage,&#8221; said Western Digital&#8217;s Jim Welsh. &#8220;Consumers of digital media today are a much broader set of the population than in the past, and they want external storage that is easy to use and has an appealing design.&#8221;</P><P>The My Book is sold at Officeworks.</P><P>See <A href="http://www.wdexternal.com.au">www.wdexternal.com.au</A></P><P><TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=4 border=0><TBODY><TR><TD width=595 height=480><IMG src="http://smartoffice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/articleimages/200606301120041f7f0_595x480.jpg" border=0></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><BR></P></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hewlett-Packard has made a big call in claiming its most recent printers produce up to twice as many prints from the same amount of ink as competitive brands.<P>It founds the claim on research conducted by independent third party, SpencerLab Digital Colour Laboratory &#8211; the rigorous and thorough testing procedures of which were explained by David Spencer to the media today.</P><P>Hewlett-Packard&#8217;s John Solomon said &#8220;It&#8217;s not often our company takes on a controversial topic because you get targeted when you come out and talk about such things, but we believe we have a very good story to tell. We believe that consumers need to better understand printing costs and we take this very seriously.</P><P>&#8220;The cost of printing needs to be based on real-life situations and determining costs includes the price of cartridges, but isn&#8217;t limited to that cost. Customers need to be aware of variables. We would like our customers to examine page yield and consider reliability and efficiency. We have a responsibility to our consumer to enable them to make an informed buying decision and wish to provide them the tools to do so.&#8221; </P><P>Hewlett-Packard&#8217;s Christoph Schell said &#8220;We should always ask ourselves what the running cost of a printer is. It is not the sum of the purchasing price of the printer, ink and paper, but the printing efficiency. </P><P>Much like the car industry, printer brands use different technologies. We are here to present to you the most efficient printing system on the market.&#8221;</P><P>HP says its latest printers achieve printing efficiency by flushing air from the print head and recirculating this ink back into the system for printing use. It says its wiper blade technology helps clean print nozzles without the need for flushing the print head with ink. </P><P>HP said most ink cartridges waste up to around 50 percent of their ink capacity on cleaning, servicing and changing &#8211; whereas its new range of systems in comparison wastes around 25 percent. &#8220;What many consumers do not know is that all inkjet printers are designed to periodically clean and maintain themselves,&#8221; it said. &#8220;This is to ensure consistent print quality and reliability. SpencerLab research has proven that other printing vendors use larger amounts of ink to flush (clean) the system, which wastes valuable ink that could be used for printing.</P><P>&#8220;The research found that customers, when printing intermittently on HP printing solutions, had the highest average printing efficiency, giving end-users up to twice as many prints from the same amount of ink as competitive brands.&#8221; </P><P>&#8220;HP printing technology was the most efficient we tested,&#8221; said SpencerLab&#8217;s David Spencer.</P><P>See <A href="http://www.hp.com.au">www.hp.com.au</A></P><P><TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=4 border=0><TBODY><TR><TD width=200 height=150><A onclick="window.open('http://smartoffice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/articleimages/20060516042923eb9ab.jpg', 'foo', 'width=400, height=2722, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes');" href="javascript:;"><IMG src="http://smartoffice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/articleimages/20060516042923eb9ab_200x150.jpg" border=0></A><BR>Click to enlarge</FONT></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><BR></P></p>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Philips today launched its range of new LCDs, plasmas, audio systems and hard disk video recorders.<P>At the forefront of its product range presentation were its latest LCD TVs, which sport up to four Ambilight surrounds and its impressive ClearLCD and Pixel Plus 3HD image processing technology.</P><P>Comparisons with the latest similar-sized LCD models from competitors were performed and the Philips sets displayed noticeably reduced juddering in panning scenes than the competitor products. Also noticeably better rendered were skin tones.</P><P>Ambilight is claimed to reduce eyestrain (by reducing sudden changes from darkness to intense light) and provide a more immersive viewing experience. The backlighting around the display frame automatically adjusts in real time to generally match the colours being displayed on the screen. There&#8217;s no doubt the demonstration of the LCD Ambilight sets was &#8216;immersive&#8217; (probably also thanks to some seriously beefy sound reproduction) and picture quality was excellent, but a lot more time would be needed to decide conclusively whether it lives up to Philips&#8217; claims about it. Certainly, it&#8217;s by no means distracting but likewise this writer barely noticed when it had been briefly turned off to demonstrate life without it.</P><P>More convincing was the demonstration of the ClearLCD and Pixel Plus 3HD image processing technology, which provides a realistic, smooth and, yes, clear image when employed &#8211; especially in standard definition. Philips says the technologies were specifically designed to overcome LCD&#8217;s traditional weaknesses: motion artifacts and low contrast.</P><P>Matt Moran, Marketing and Sales Manager, said &#8220;We see LCD as the dominant technology over plasma. Its strengths are light output, resolution and power efficiency. Its weakness, though, is light leakage through the panel due to it being back-lit, which doesn&#8217;t give you blacks that are quite as black as you could want &#8211; such as provided by plasma. Motion is also an issue. The liquid crystals in LCDs are getting faster, but they&#8217;re still not quick enough to be beat the human eye. With ClearLCD we basically eliminated those weaknesses and take LCD up to the same quality levels as CRT and plasma in these areas, which maximising its present strengths.</P><P>&#8220;Clear LCD works on three different technologies. The first is dimming backlight, which detects light and dark areas on the screen and communicates accordingly with the backlight. </P><P>The second addresses motion blur. LCDs move when there&#8217;s a voltage put through them. Our Overdrive technology basically puts extra voltage into each crystal to give it a good kick and make it move faster, resulting in smoother reproduction and less blur. </P><P>The other technology is scanning backlight, which is probably the most fundamental Clear LCD technology. The scanning backlight provides a backlight that is flickering at 75 times per second. Anything over 60 hertz is too fast for the human eye to see. The flickering provides 75 frames per second with nice, crisp breaks in between, instead of one frame that is gradually changing. You have one frame, the voltage to the crystals goes off, the crystals move, then the backlight comes on. This greatly reduces the blurring effect. Also, we use hot carbon fluorocarbons, which provide 300 percent more light output than the traditionally used cold carbon fluorocarbons.&#8221;</P><P>Philips claimed its competitors sets were, along with its sets, set to factory defaults for the comparison. In the comparison, skin tones were overblown in the competitors&#8217; sets, and detail was in some instances lacking. When the image processing was employed in high-definition, the non-Philips sets definitely caught up.</P><P>Most drastic of all was the stabilising effect of ClearLCD and Pixel Plus 3HD during video panning sequences. The Philips sets were obviously more realistic and stable than the competitor sets displaying the same video images.</P><P>Whether a completely level playing field was employed, only Philips will really know but we expect the comparison was mostly fair. We were impressed enough to recommend considering in purchasing decisions but, as always, suggest you judge with your eyes.</P><P>The features are limited to the 37 inch 37PF9731 ($TBC) and 42 inch 42PF9831 ($6900), which features full Ambilight surround and is available from July 2006.</P><P>In his address, Philips CEO, Harry van Dyk, said &#8220;We think our new range for 2006 will make a qualitative impact which will separate us from other brands. Last year, prices in the LCD market dropped about 40 percent. In such a market, Philips had two choices: either to murder its cost base and operate on a very lean business model, or differentiate.</P><P>Our conclusion was that Philips is a differentiated product/brand company and that is reflected in our latest innovations. If you can find a better television in the world than our ClearLCD products, you better tell me what it is.&#8221;</P><P>&#8220;Differentiation is defiantly the way Philips wants to go,&#8221; added Matt Moran. &#8220;Prices are getting crazy but what we want to do is add value to the offer by giving consumers a real reason to spend money on our electronic products beyond the same old picture and sound stuff announced when someone launches a TV. As well as providing the best picture and sound, Philips is taking the whole package to market by enhancing the entire viewing experience and improving the viewer&#8217;s atmosphere.&#8221;</P><P>See <A href="http://www.philips.com.au/"><FONT color=#0000ff>www.philips.com.au</FONT></A> </P><P><TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=4 border=0><TBODY><TR><TD width=200 height=150><A onclick="window.open('http://smartoffice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/articleimages/20060517044258fe843.jpg', 'foo', 'width=400, height=3558, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes');" href="javascript:;"><IMG src="http://smartoffice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/articleimages/20060517044258fe843_200x150.jpg" border=0></A><BR>Click to enlarge</FONT></TD></TR><TR><TD width=200>The 42 inch 42PF9831 ($6900), features ClearLCD and Pixel Plus 3HD processing, full Ambilight surround and is available from July 2006.</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></P><P>&nbsp;</P></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reality has added an even larger LCD to its range, a 46 inch (117 cm) it&#8217;s selling for $4000.<P>Reality&#8217;s Andrew Wymer said the 46 incher features Samsung&#8217;s current seventh-generation A-Grade panel. &#8220;The panels we use are the latest generation Samsung panels. The same ones they use. Samsung Korea doesn&#8217;t hold back its latest generation panels for itself,&#8221; he said.</P><P>Displaying a DVD source being up-scaled to 1080i, the 46 inch LCD was demonstrated to SmartHouse in full daylight and with strong overhead fluorescent lighting. We must say, the unit is impressive. It had strong, yet balanced colour and excellent brightness. Depth-of-field and detail was fantastic. </P><P>The size of the set is impressive, but not imposing. Does Reality find there is any corresponding drop off in quality compared with the 40 inch model? &#8220;No. Quality hasn&#8217;t diminished compared with the 40 inch. It&#8217;s easy to see that the 46 inch is a great screen, even when viewing non-high-def&#8217; material. We&#8217;re really happy with its quality.</P><P>Native resolution is 1366 x 768, which Reality says is &#8220;True 16:9 aspect ratio&#8221;. Other specs include a claimed 1000:1 contrast ratio and 500 cd/m2 dynamic contrast ratio. Pixel response time is a claimed 8 milliseconds.</P><P>So what&#8217;s next in the wings for Reality? Can they move even further into the larger screen sizes traditionally dominated by plasma? &#8220;Well, we&#8217;re looking at a 55 inch model, but we haven&#8217;t had a sample to test yet,&#8221; says Wymer. &#8220;We&#8217;re hoping that will happen in July. We&#8217;re not able to confirm a price at this stage but we hope to be able to sell it for $5000.&#8221; And will is sport any new features over the current range? &#8220;Yes, they next 40 and 46 inch models will feature an automatic brightness function. Ostensibly, a light sensor at the front of the screen will detect the ambient light in the room and automatically adjust the brightness of the screen to suit, which is also great for power saving.&#8221;</P><P>See <A href="http://www.reality.net.au/"><FONT color=#0000ff>www.reality.net.au</FONT></A></P><P><TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=4 border=0><TBODY><TR><TD width=595 height=480><A onclick="window.open('http://smartoffice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/articleimages/20060613105415fc8da.jpg', 'foo', 'width=400, height=530, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes');" href="javascript:;"><IMG src="http://smartoffice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/articleimages/20060613105415fc8da_595x480.jpg" border=0></A><BR></FONT></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><BR>&nbsp;</P></p>

For example, over 200 billion digital photos will be taken this year alone. </P><P>Not only enterprise content, but personally created content will proliferate. Moving forward, we will have video blogs, video created by billions of people worldwide. This content needs to be shaped, edited and stored. The translation is storage demand.</P><P>Seagate is positioned to take advantage of this phenomenon. Seagate is growing units and revenue in all markets. Our numbers from IDC in the DVR/STB segment, for example, show that Seagate sold 9.9 million units in 2003, 40 million in 2006 and by 2009 we expect to sell 68 million in that category alone. Our new products will help catapult Seagate into a leading market position. I&#8217;m very excited. These products are truly breakthrough.&#8221;</P><P>An example of its new products is the DB35 series, which has been designed to meet the demands of PVR devices in terms of its high (up to 750 GB) capacity, power consumption and operating volume. &#8220;This product will be very important to us, due to the increased uptake of high-definition content in the home,&#8221; said Mr Lee. &#8220;Our DB35 Series products allow up to 750 hours of standard definition TV recording or 125 hours of high-definition video. </P><P>&#8220;For PVRs, the continual streaming of data is more important than for, say, security-oriented products. Other considerations and advantages of the range for PVR applications include power consumption. In a PC you have a lot of power and pooling devices, but in PVRs, a drive is in a very small enclosure, therefore you need lower power consumption and lower start-up current.&nbsp; Also, in terms of noise, PVRs are used in living rooms. Consumers don&#8217;t want noisy drives in those environments. These are some of the key differences over our other new products, such as the Barracuda drives.&#8221;</P><P>It&#8217;s clear that the next storage goal to kick will be the one terabyte mark. When does Mr Lee see this as likely to occur? &#8220;I can&#8217;t put a specific date on that, but with our perpendicular drives we are pushing the envelope of technology that allows us to do that. I believe that Seagate is in a very good position to continuously lead in terms of capacity.&#8221;</P><P>And are there any new technologies on the horizon Seagate is investing in? Asked if Seagate has any plans to move towards holographic storage, Mr Lee responded by saying &#8220;Seagate is committed to a leadership position in the storage category and is aggressively pursuing different innovative storage technologies. There aren&#8217;t any (new technologies) we can announce right now, but what I can tell you is that we are putting a lot of money and effort into examining the feasibility of the new technologies.&#8221;</P><P>See <A href="http://www.seagate.com/">www.seagate.com</A></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P></p>
