Seagate's revolution!!

Seagate's 1 Terabyte Hard drive!

Finally Seagate has released a 1 Terabyte Hard drive following the Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000 which was released over six months ago. Seagate has been the first alternative of the 1 Terabyte Hard drive since Hitachi release their 7K1000. After six months of wait we all will surely be expecting some difference between the Hitachi and Seagate. The main difference between the Seagate and Hitachi is that the Seagate has an advantage over the performance wise. In features wise, Seagate has no advantage over the Hitachi. But concerning the performance wise, using the SATA-II interface makes the maximum transfer rate of 3GBps.

The Seagate ST31000340AS is priced at £180 but the 750GB is just £115 and the 500GB is £50. So if you don’t really need them in 1GB then it is cheaper to get a 750GB because the 1TB has just been released. But if you want a 1GB then the Seagate ST31000340AS is the best option in the market.

Trusted Review has given Seagate the following results:
- Features 6/10
- Performance 9/10
- Value 9/10

Amazing Keyboard!!

Optimus Tactus Touch Keyboard

While we love touch surfaces, as people who type hundreds of thousands a word each week we know that there is a limit to them: keyboards. Like this Optimus Tactus, an extruded shape/touch surface/keyboard concept by Art Lebedev. We really like the soon-to-be-released Optimus keyboard Art but, seriously, how often do you type on your computer?




I can imagine that artists, musicians and video editors would like something like this. However, there are solid LCD tablet displays and Tablet PCs on the market already. Experience shows that, for the time being, it's a limited market. Further limiting it to a keyboard replacement could be economically impractical at best, never mind how practical this could be.

The issue of the price is the other key here: by the time a touch surface keyboard could be a commercial reality coming from China via Moscow, touch computing from Apple and Microsoft would be so ubiquitous that it won't make sense anymore.

3D Display - Awesome!!

Phillips intros 20-inch 3D display

Don't count Philips as the first outfit to dream up a 3D display that allowed you to leave the eyewear at home, but it looks like the technology is coming ever closer to the mainstream -- for better or worse. The firm has reportedly developed a 20-inch LCD "designed to increase brand awareness and attention value of products at point-of-sale locations," and is showing off the (literally) eye-popping effects at this week's InfoComm. Of course, this rendition seems to be aimed at businesses rather than consumer applications, but we'd expect to see more where this came from as the WOWvx-equipped lineup expands.

The newest duo consists of a frame-mountable 20-3D2W01 (pictured above) and a more decorated 20-3D2W04 if you're wanting a bezel and stand. As expected, there's no word yet on pricing or availability, but feel free to peep another shot of the third-dimension after the break. (source : engadgetdotcom)
