I have used my friend’s Lenovo laptop and wanted to buy that product. But today, my friend told me that Lenovo is introducing a new Series of ThinkPad: the L Series, so look for that one. While it may look like the ThinkPad R Series which will replace, Lenovo says the 14-inch L412 and 15-inch L512 are the greenest ThinkPads ever made. They are 40 percent more power efficient than “other laptops”, besides that, they are partially made from recycled office water jugs as well as miscellaneous used equipment.

Lenovo ThinkPad L Series includes the following:

1.Core i3 or i5 CPU options
2.With integrated or ATI Radeon graphics
3.A Celeron P4500 CPU
4.160GB hard drive
5.1GB of RAM

The ThinkPad L412 and L512 laptops are designed for government, business and education customers, feature high performance with the new Intel processing technologies, strong web conferencing and military tough durability features in an affordable laptop starting under $700.

Additionally, by integrating the highest amounts of post consumer recycled content, the laptops are the greenest on the market.

So, I am waiting for its shipping which I expect to be in early next month.

The open-source software, Boxee started out as free, has designed to bring Internet video content to your living room televisions which is no longer content with just one screen. A recent job posting on the Boxee website indicates that the New York company is looking for an iPhone and iPad app developer to be the first member of Boxee’s new Mobile Applications Team.

According to the job posting, Boxee considers ‘other screens’, for ex: iPhone and iPad screens, is just as important as television screens for video. The company is looking for a coder with Objective-C expertise (a language used on the iPhone OS and Mac OS X) and one published app, at least in the Apple app store. The job posting also notice “Android development experience a plus” it looks like Boxee does not plan on limiting itself to the iPhone and the iPad.

Boxee, open-source software will play music and videos stored on your hard drive, as well as content from other sources including Youtube, Netflix, Shoutcast, Picasa, Last.fm, CNN.. All these and more is accessible through an attractive interface that can be navigated with a remote. As for the social media angle, Boxee allows you to share what you are watching and your recommendations with other Boxee users.

Boxee’s software gained credibility quickly as a way to turn your TV into an internet-content-viewing haven and the company has announced that they would be boxing up Boxee and selling the software as part of a set-top box. The Boxee set-top box is manufactured by D-Link and it costs $200 and it will be available in the second quarter of 2010.

The box connects to the internet via wired Ethernet or Wi-Fi and connects to yours’ TV’s via HDMI, RCA cables or optical cables (it features 1080p output).

Sony is launching its 3D plans for the rest of the year and the new is its UK branch. With LX903 and HX903 models,  HX803 3D-ready model is first out the door in June arriving shortly afterward packing specs identical to its US cousins, with Freeview HD tuners and PAL-friendly refresh rates in addition.

Since the HX803 has not come with any of those 100-hour battery rated glasses , viewers getting ready for the 2010 World Cup will likely go for one of the 3D accessory packs with two pairs included and also the necessary IR emitter.

No info is available on the prices for any of these yet but within the launch “limited period”, PS3 owners who buy a new TV can expect to vouchers with download codes for 3D-upgraded versions of four PSN games: WipEout HD (full game), PAIN (3 episodes), Motorstorm Pacific Rift (single level demo) and Super Stardust HD (full game).

There are four reasons to join the 3D revolution and to make your first 3D experience a Sony one:

1.New Sony 3D TV “BRAVIA” HX803 launch model
2.Exclusive 3D Blu-ray disc movies bundled with selected Sony 3D TVs and Blu-ray players
3.Free 3D stereoscopic game titles for PlayStation (PS3™) with all Sony 3D TVs
4.The most comprehensive range of 3D Blu-ray Players and Home Cinema Systems available

Movie heads get cloudy with a chance of Deep Sea Blu-ray 3D discs and Meatballs bundled with unspecified “selected products,” going on sale by itself June 14.

If you want more info about the product then ask me here.

This year, Panasonic has shared a dual-lensed 3D camcorder concept with the world. Some information about the system are available like it is a “full HD” (1920×1080) and uses simple SDHC/SD cards for recording. SD cards are basically the most plentiful and cost-effective storage in existence.

Panasonic unveils the world’s first professional, fully-integrated Full HD 3D camcorder in Fall 2010. The company will begin taking orders in April. Samples of the professional Full HD 3D solid-state camcorder exhibited at the Panasonic booth at the 2010 International CES in Las Vegas, USA, from January 7-10.

4.Power Consumption – Under 19 W (main unit only)

This Full HD 3D camcorder offer the following core benefits:

So, I am really very desperate to use 3D camcorder.

The Kin Two outshines its sibling, the Kin One with the stronger specs and a better design. But is it perfect? No, omissions and limitations within the software keep it from being a threat to lower-priced smartphones on Verizon.

The design of the Kin Two is much more attractive than its squat sibling. It has a  roomier keyboard as well as a larger display. When my friend John Beg, took it for tests, he found the keys comfortable to press and nicely spaced.

He was impressed with the Kin Two’s 8-megapixel camera and he took a few snapshots at the launch event, which took place in a dimly lit nightclub. He was also impressed with how powerful the flash was. Faces were nicely highlighted without being completely blown out.

The details appeared sharp and colors looked fairly natural in his test shots. The Kin Two also captures HD video, which he unfortunately did not get a chance to test out. More info we will disclose further.

Bloomberg has just informed that Palm is putting itself up for grab  and the offers will come in this week. This is really a pretty good news, considering by CEO, Jon Rubinstein who was adamant just a few days ago that Palm had a plan to get profitable even when his organization’s stock price went on a buyout-rumor fueled rollercoaster. Bloomberg says that Palm is already retained Qatalyst and Goldman Sachs Partners to find a buyer, with HTC and Lenovo both expressing interest and Dell’s apparently already taken a pass. But on the record, none of these parties are saying anything but if this is true, things are about to get fast and wild.

Don’t worry, I will keep you updated with new information regarding this, so keep in touch!!

Givori, specializing in mobile art, has already shown us some ugly creations such as the Serendipity and some good ones like the Via Veneto range. Now, the company has launched the premier model within its new Fine Jewellery collection, Calypso.

So, what you say about this product.

The Gateway ZX4800-06 is the more powerful budget all-in-ones I have looked at. It is an attractive system, some elements of the user experience are less polished than they could be.

Gateway instead built the ZX4800-06 around a 2.2GHz Pentium Dual Core processor. As the processor is dated, it did help the ZX4800-06 earn a WorldBench 6 score of 84. By comparison, the Athlon X2-powered MSI Wind Top AE2010 produced a mark of 60.

The ZX4800-06 features:

A 20-inch
16:9 widescreen display

The ZX4800-06 is no gaming powerhouse. It achieved rates no higher than 8 frames per second in our gaming tests with its integrated Intel GMA X4500HD graphics chip. That kind of frame rate is low, but it is not out of the ordinary for such PCs, which are designed for home users who just need to get online, do some light word processing, watch videos or browse photos.

Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) runs smoothly on the ZX4800’s 4GB of RAM and has ample room to roam thanks to the spacious, 750GB hard drive. Most of the other budget all-in-ones I have looked at have hard-drive sizes around 320GB, therefore, I was pleased to see this much storage included with the ZX4800-06.
