FCC Approves The Use of White Spaces for Wireless Broadband Connectivity

November 5, 2008 – 10:45 pm

The Federal Communications Commission’s decision to open up the white spaces’ spectrum to unlicensed devices could usher in a new telecom revolution, similar to what Wi-Fi did a few years ago, say analysts.

Lexar kicks out Eye-Fi powered Shoot-n-Sync WiFi SD card, other less interesting flash cards

September 19, 2008 – 2:27 am

Filed under: ,

We’d heard Lexar and Eye-Fi were getting snuggly back in January, and look at that — nine months later the Lexar Shoot-n-Sync WiFi SD card has arrived on our doorstep. The 2GB card is basically just a Lexar-branded Eye-Fi Share, so you pretty much already know how it works — you shoot, it uploads — and it’s even the same $99 price, so yeah, yawn. Hopefully these two will do something a little more interesting now that they’ve gotten used to working together. Lexar also kicked out a number of other cards, including a new 4GB Memory Stick Micro M2 card, a 16GB Platinum II 60x SDHC card, and a 16GB Platinum II 80x CompactFlash card — no pricing or availability on any of those yet, but we’d expect them soon.

Logitech introduces new Pure-Fi docks and Z-5 speakers

September 16, 2008 – 6:32 pm

Looks like the 70s are back — Altec Lansing just shifted its entire branding to black / brown, and now Logitech’s going with a similar retro look on two new Pure-Fi docks and the Z-5 speakers. The battery-powered Pure-Fi Express Plus portable system features an omnidirectional sound field that’s supposed to provide stereo sound in all directions, while the tabletop Pure-Fi Anytime alarm clock (pictured) features motion-activated backlit controls — including wave-to-snooze, which sounds incredibly dangerous. Both docks will retail for $100 when they hit in October. The X-5 speakers are USB-powered computer speakers enhanced with the same omnidirectional sound tech in the Pure-Fi Express Plus, they’ll be out later this month for $100 as well. Pics of the Pure-Fi Express Plus and the Z-5s after the break.
