HTC Announces Touch Pro, a Diamond With a Keyboard

By Charlie Sorrel June 04, 2008 4:29:05 AMCategories: Phones

HTC has announced its rather smart looking Touch Pro, a hybrid touchscreen/QWERTY cellphone which is based on the Diamond. With a 2.8" screen and a real, physical keyboard, it looks like HTC is pushing this as a sometime laptop replacement. It even has a TV out port, and HTC wasted no time in coming up with a very exciting use for it:
TV-out functionality mean[s] you can[...] deliver the perfect PowerPoint presentation without a laptop in sight.
When not sending poor meeting attendees to sleep, the Touch Pro offers other diversions. A 3.2 megapixel camera (plus another VGA camera for video calls); HSDPA/WCDMA, GSM/GPRS/EDGE and Wi-Fi; and what HTC is calling TouchFLO 3D, which we think is some kind of homage to Apple's Cover Flow.
The Touch Pro will be available in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East in late summer and in the Americas after that.

Me parecio que el articulo "vende" un producto interesante, simpático.

Cannondale Concept Weds IPod to Bike

By Charlie Sorrel June 04, 2008 5:29:16 AMCategories: Bicycles, Media Players

This concept design is the fruit of Cannondale and Barcelona based designer company D-Tank. Amongst its more bike-like functions, the MetroPolite would feature full iPod integration, hooking it up to a rear view video camera and also displaying "technical bike info" -- that's speedometer to you and me.
Getting a video feed into an iPod might be a little tricky, but the rest of it should be simple enough; a kind of Nike+ for bikes. Add in a decent GPS unit, powered by pedalling and hooked up to the iPod and I'd buy it in an instant. One tip, though, Cannondale and team: Try using a flash-based iPod if you actually make this, or put it in a shock absorbing cradle. The set up in the picture would surely shake a hard drive to death. A death rattle, if you will.

Me gusto este articulo porque habla de la conexion de un ipod a una bicicleta, y de como el ipod puede transmitir diferentes datos sobre la bicicleta y su uso.

Secrets of the 7 Basic Blog Posts
By Lore Sjöberg June 04,2008

According to some people, there are only 36 basic story plots that just get reused. Others say there are merely 20. Some people even say there's only one plot, but they probably just watch too many Michael Bay movies. I like the theory that there are only seven plots. It's a nice round number, and the plots are vague enough that you can shoehorn anything from Citizen Kane to a cereal commercial into them.

In the spirit of oversimplifying things so that you can smugly shove human endeavors into pre-labeled slots, I'd like to present my own, contemporary take on this premise: the Seven Basic Blog Posts.

Me parecio un post divertido sobre las diferentes formas de escribir en un blog, dependiendo de cada persona. Realmente me parecio un post muy copado.
