In a move that threatens to turn the age of the ubiquitous cell phone camera in to the age of ubiquitous live cell phone video, Qik Inc. has launched an alpha version of its eponymous service Qik, which enables selected Nokia and Sony Ericsson J2ME handsets to stream live video to the Internet with just two clicks. And, what’s more, folks watching the live video stream from the Web can chat with the video-transmitting phone in real time.
Designed in partnership with Fossil, the new Sony Ericsson MBW-100 Bluetooth watch will connect to your phone so that you can discretely send a call to voicemail, be notifed of incoming text messages and more. What’s even more suprising, is that the phone actually looks attractive.
The MBW-100 face uses an OLED display while the casing and band are composed of high quality stainless steel with a silver facia. But how does it work?

Sony’s PSP is hitting the road for a cross country promo tour which will start Oct. 28 in Sacramento, CA and finish in New York City in December. Co-headlining the tour, which is also a concert called the PlayStation Presents Breed Love Odyssey Tour, are hip-hop artists Mos Def and Talib Kweli.

Optoma Technology, Inc. today announced the availability of its next-generation, high performance digital projector for home theater enthusiasts.
With an incredible, high contrast ratio of 4500:1, native 720p resolution and a bright 1000 lumens rating, the H79 delivers one of the industry’s finest HDTV images to date. The new projector features Texas Instruments’ advanced DarkChip3(tm) and DLP(tm) technology, which projects higher brightness and deeper black levels by “filling in” the area where the digital micro mirror connects to its hinge – producing smooth, film-like picture quality. Key H79 optical components are crafted by Optoma’s experienced engineers to achieve the highest display quality possible. In addition, the gap between the mirrors has been further reduced and the backing to the mirrors has become more light absorbent.
“We designed the 2200MP to meet the demands of customers that want a projector that can be easily used in the office and at home, as projectors become a more common component in the home digital entertainment center,” said Scott O’Hare, vice-president and general manager, Dell Software and Peripherals. “For an attractive price, this projector provides an outstanding image and high-quality features.”
The 2200MP projector uses the latest Digital Light Processing (DLPTM ) DDR1 projection technology to generate high resolution images at a 1700:1 contrast ratio with a maximum brightness of 1200 ANSI lumens2 for crisp video and graphics. For true plug-and-play operation, an auto-sync feature adjusts the output resolution to match that of the input device up to SXGA+ (1400×1050 dpi).
The $1,299 2100MP uses the latest DLP DDR projection technology to generate high resolution images at 1800:1 contrast ratio and maximum brightness of 1000 ANSI lumens for crisp video and graphics. An auto-sync feature adjusts the output resolution to match that of the input device up to SXGA+ (1400×1050) for true plug-and-play operation.
At 4 lbs, it weighs less than many midsize notebook PCs but still provides advanced features such as motion-adaptive hardware de-interlacing for smooth video playback, power saving auto shutdown and preset and user-programmable video modes for easy custom-configuration.
