The Flying Stick Camera: Just a concept, any buyers?
By Andrew | January 26, 2008
When I first saw me this camera, all I could think was of the good old school days when we flied those helicopter like things made with fan attached to sticks…it was indeed fun!
But that simple toy is no simpler today, as our gadget gurus have transformed it into a funky-techie camera that will click pics at the moment you fly it after rolling out of your plams.
Designed by Tsunho Wang, the stick camera needs to rubbed between your palms to store in some kinetic energy and release it so that it automatically take pictures at set intervals.
Till now there’s no inf about he features and pixels of a the camera since it’s still a concept, that’s awaiting a sponsorship to get materialized into a swingy camera!

By Andrew | August 20, 2007
Overshadowing the doubts of ASUS coming out with the cheapest UMPC ever, the company has lately unveiled its new W5Fe series of notebooks in India. This 12-inch electronic product comes packed with a unique external display known as “SideShow”. The USP of the display resides in its feature to switch on without starting the entire system, thereby displaying preferred information via text, images and audio. The high-resolution swivel webcam gives this product every reason to flaunt itself with wireless video communiqué.
The features of this power-packed device doesn’t end here as operating on Windows Vista with an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor; the notebook carries 1.5GB of DDR2 RAM, 160 GB hard disk, a TV-Out, 3 USB ports and 8in1 card-reader.

Digital era: Panasonic LUMIX FX18
By Andrew | July 24, 2007
Lately I went to Tokyo to attend Matsushita Electric Industrial Co.’s press conference. The company launched three models of the LUMIX digital came.
This time I captured the Panasonic LUMIX FZ18 in my old camera. Albeit, there were two other models as well by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co but my eyes were restricted to LUMIX FZ18. Lolz.
I am sure it will have a demanding price. But believe me its worth paying.
