Motorola Dext

Motorola surprised market watcher with a good Android smart phone: Motorola Dext. Traditionally, HTC dominated the android market. The much touted google phone did not do what it claim to do, to claim market shares from the iphone. If there are any chances of that, the Motorola Dext might hold a better chance.

The smartphone comes as a slider with Qwerty keypad. The Dext is meant to make social networking a breeze. The phone contains motoblue, which is a function that synchronises information from different sources including twitter, facebook and gmail and display them in 1 screen.

This smartphone will be handy for people on the go, especially if they don’t want an iphone.

Nikon Coolpix S1000pj

We all know about Nikon’s Coolpix cameras: sleek, slim with simple but effective shooting. This one goes one up with a built in projector.

The Nikkon Coolpix S1000pj has a maximum resolution of 12.1 megapixel with 5x optical zoom, with a decent size 2.7 inch LCD viewer.

The projector has a range of up to 6.5 feet. The quality is as good as a normal colour TV, but definitely nothing compared to the LCD screen. The camera comes with a projector stand and a remote control. This cool new feature allows you to show everyone in the room the photos you have just taken, a very cool party gadget to have.

Likes:

• Easy to use point and shoot camera with manual override for exposure and white balance
• 5x Optical Zoom
• Cool and fun projection

Dislikes

• Thicker than most new “slim” cameras
• Short battery life with projector use

Overall the Nikon Coolpix S1000pj a cool camera to have and to play around with.

Don’t worry if you thought this was some bulky hand phone, I felt the same way too. This is the new 3M Micro professional projector (MPRO 110).

This is the first commercial Micro projector. It is merely 11.5cm by 5cm by 2.2cm and weighs only 150g.

It projects good distance up to 2m (although specification stated only up to 180cm). Contrast and brightness are good. Videos projects pretty well with no obvious distortion.

A few draw backs. The battery life last only 1 hour for the completely new battery, so expect to work with the power supply most of the times. There are also no option for change contrast and brightness, but for this size, i wouldn’t be expecting much.

This is the perfect companion for people on the go who needs to make on the spot presentation at client’s office. Otherwise if you’ve 400 bucks to spare, it’s a really impressive device to carry around. Imagine showing your friends your holiday trip photos on this.

Likes: Small, Sleek design, good quality images, decent price

Dislike: Cables feels loose, short battery life
