Sony has unveiled a yet another music player under their Walkman series of products. This new MP3 player, called the Sony unwired, is something we have never seen before. It is a stylish, trendy and wire-free MP3 player. It is quite an innovative product. Free your world from the wires and go wire-free. You will definitely get a sense of how wonderful this Unwired MP3 player is when you are taking a walk or having a ride on you motorbike and you see rest of the people tangled with wires around their neck all the way to their pocket where their iPods or other Mp3 player lie. It saves you the time of un-tangling the earphone cables.

The Sony Unwired was revealed by Sony at a recent TVC event in India. Sony Unwired or Sony NWZ-W200 is an interesting gadget to own. The sound quality is something we have never seen before in a Walkman Mp3 player. Sony Unwired is a perfect product for people that love to listen to music while jogging. It comes with ZAPPIN & Jog Dial controls for easy navigation. Sony unwired has a new, innovative feature called as ‘quick charge’. If you ever forget to charge your Walkman before going to bed, just hook the player with your computer for 3 minutes and it will have enough battery juice for 90 minutes of continues playback.

Sony Unwired has 13.5mm driver units that support wide dynamic frequency range playback. Both the treble and Bass sound incredibly good. The earpieces have the regular Sony Earphone style and fit comfortably inside your ear. The earphone has Soft silicon earbuds which makes it kinda noise-proof. A full 90 minute recharge will be enough for a 12 hour playback.

Now for the memory, the Sony Unwired NWZ-W200 comes with 2 GB built-in memory which is not expandable unfortunately. So far, this is the only drawback of the Unwired we noticed. It can play various audio formats like MP3, AAC and WMA (DRM). You can transfer music files to and from your Sony Unwired using a drag and drop interface on your PC or Mac.

Final Verdict:

If ultimate portability and compact design is what you are looking for in an Mp3 player, Sony Unwired is for you. It looks stylish in your ears and the music quality is just great. Got Rs. 5000 (about $100 USD) lying around? Yes? Go get this sleek gadget. It does not have a sound recorder or an FM radio though.

The Sony Unwired comes in five colors – White, Black, Pink, Green and Purple. It retails for Rs. 4990/- (~$100 USD) at all major Sony Showrooms.

As the OfficeServ 7000 series delivers 1300+ features to the desk, the choice of handset is paramount for organisations who want to get the most out of their telephone system.

There is DHCP or fixed IP for easy deployment minus the need for engineer visits to teleworking locations. There is a simplistic 3 step wizard for user set-up. You just enter the IP address of the OfficeServ, your extension number followed by a four digit password. All of the usual functions, that are common for key systems, such as tannoy, pick-up and voicemail exist for remote IP phones.

VPN client licence is FREE with every keyset. It establishes it’s own virtual private network when plugged in to a Cat5 socket.

The three physical IP phones will all come with dual RJ45 ports and these will deliver 1000 megabits to the desktop on the SMT-I5220 and SMT-I5242. So if an organisation possesses gigabit speed then users can experience 1000 mb/sec on their PC hanging from one of the IP phones. This is however, a chargeable option which requires a part known as a gigabit wedge. This is not available on the entry level SMT-I3100 which is non-UC.

Basic Samsung SMT-I3100

Samsung SMT-I5220

Lge Display Samsung SMT-I5242

There are polyphonic ringtones and you can add your own sounds. The photo album will allow you to upload your own and associate to the appropriate contacts.

Samsung will sell a 64 button IP add-on module. Unlike many telecoms vendors who do not offer this.

Each telephone has an integral two port switch. There is a full duplex 100 Mbps and a single Switched port. There is support for power over Ethernet (POE) with the popular 802.3af standard.

The telephones’ inbuilt switch boasts packet tagging for priority and VLAN. The standards are 802.1P and 802.1Q.. There are numerous codecs offered for high bandwidth such as; G.722, G711, G729, G723. There is pkt. loss correction (PLC).

For resilience, there is multiple server working. So failover can be applied in mission critical deployments. The multi hosts can be any box including; OS7030, OS7100, OS7200 and OS7400. So even the baby sites can help with disaster planning.

But “presence” is the big news. The next IP handsets will have a presence indicator using either Microsoft OCS or Samsung UC so you can create “Buddy Lists”. In times gone past we enjoyed busy lamp field (BLF) to show us when colleagues were on the phone with a steady red light, in do not disturb (DND) showing as slow flashing red and currently ringing which lights up fast red flashes. But with the OfficeServ telephone systems you will know when staff or distant IP phones are keying on their keyboard or keypad. So no more hiding for teleworkers!

The programme that makes all of this work is called OfficeServ Communicator and has been developed at the mother plant after listening to customer requirements. All of this is facilitated because telephone systems sit on the local area network (LAN). It’s like Microsoft or Yahoo Messenger but without the temptation to twitter with people outside of your organisational comms circle.

OfficeServ Communicator does not require a server as it can populate itself from the computer over the LAN. When you install OfficeServ Communicator the installer adds a plug-in to Microsoft Outlook. This gives control of OS Communicator. Simply hit the dial icon in MS-Outlook to power-dial. SOA or Services Orientated Architecture will be replacing the ageing TAPI or Telephony Application Programming Interface.

The SMT-I5242 has a USB port and is a video conference IP phone with a larger screen although the Softphone (included with OfficeServ Comunicator) will equally well facilitate AV conferencing. You can perform MP3 or MP4 recording. There will be a maximum of 5 simultaneous conferencees. There is also a soft IP terminal for Windows Mobile devices such as PDAs and SmartPhones.

OfficeServ Easyset and OfficeServ Call are inclusive with OfficeServ Communicator.

The SMT-I5242 large LCD models can utilise the XML feeds to serve movies, text or HTML to the telephone. There is a video content server element to supply the feed. There has been a suggestion that suppliers may subsidise the cost of phones to clients whilst selling advertising to interested parties. Now that would mean a change in approach by installers!

The line-up will include a Wi-fi terminal which looks as sleek as any cordless phone in the global arena. These can be hung off wi-fi access points inside the building or at alternate localities via generic domestic wi-fi routers. So you can have a smart wire-free device for use in a telework situation.

Locally, the wi-fi includes embedded quality of service QOS. They are highly secure wireless voice and data switches. There is WPA, WPA2, WEP, 802.1X and AES. These can be utilised as a bridge to join buildings and there is connection for an external antenna if directional or db gain are required for distance. Similarly, they can be a repeater to extend range for a sizeable premises.

For those with inadequate LANs and WANs that lack QOS the 7000 familly still supports TDM (time division multiplex) traditional phone extensions. This means that it is possible to connect analogue apparatus such as faxes PDQ credit card machines. Samsung telephone systems have it covered and are now total communications platforms.

1. Bill Gates earns US$250 every SECOND, that’s about US$20 Million a DAY and US$7.8 Billion a YEAR!

2. If he drops a thousand dollar, he won’t even bother to pick it up because the 4 seconds he picks it, he would’ve already earned it back.

3. The US national debt is about 5.62 trillion, if Bill Gates were to pay the debt by himself; he will finish it in less then 10 years.

4. He can donate US$15 to everyone on earth but still be left with US $5 Million for his pocket money.

5. Michael Jordan is the highest paid athlete in US. If he doesn’t drink and eat, and keeps up his annual income i.e. US$30 Million, he’ll have to wait for 277 years to become as rich as Bill Gates is now.

6. If Bill Gates was a country, he would be the 37th richest country on earth.

7. If you change all of Bill Gate’s money to US$1 notes, you can make a road from earth to moon, 14 times back and forth. But you have to make that road non-stop for 1,400 years, and use a total of 713 BOEING 747 planes to transport all the money.

8. Bill Gates is 54 this year. If we assume that he will live for another 35 years, he has to spend US$6.78 Million per day to finish all his money before he can go to heaven or hell.

Last but not the least:

9. If Microsoft Windows’ users can claim US$1 for every time their computers hang because of Microsoft Windows, Bill Gates will be bankrupt in 3 days!

The players of the new Alien vs. Predator will have choice to take the role of the three species; the Colonial Marine, the Predator and the Alien. The all-new Alien vs. Predator will feature unique 3-way online multiplayer, allowing gamers to pit the three species against each other in the ultimate battle for survival and for the right to be crowned the deadliest species. All the three species in the AVP have their own distinct story-driven single-player campaign mode. Each species campaigns interweaves with the campaigns of the other two species.

The story of the new video is somewhat similar to its movie counterpart. It includes a planet called BG-386 where a group of colonist miners discover an ancient pyramid containing a horrible secret that is about to change their lives. Meanwhile, a race of warriors is alerted across the stars to the discovery of their pyramid and a hunting party is dispatched to ensure that it remains sealed at all costs. At the same time, a malevolent intelligence awakes inside the ruined pyramid from centuries of dormancy.

As a Marine, you have to fight against the odds, and the horrors lurking in the dark. You are humanity’s only hope and are the last stand against all the evil odds.

As the Alien, players will discover what it’s like to be the most murderous and lethal creature in the universe, with the ability to traverse any surface with awesome agility in order to get close enough to unleash its deadly teeth and claws.

As the Predator, you grant the player a suite of exotic weaponry and equipment with which to stalk its unknowing prey. Earn the greatest honor by ambushing prey up-close and butchering them for a gory trophy kill.

The New Alien vs. Predator game is set for an early 2010 release. It is set to be released on PCs, Xbox 360 and PS3.

If you have been looking to waste $2500 on exclusive crap, these Xbox shoes are yours. These shoes sure look cool but these is no reason why these shoes should be priced so high. For that much money you can buy almost 20 Xbox 360 Pro gaming consoles. Maybe, Bill Gates should buy these and then hold some sort of competion and giveaway these pair of shoes as award. We don’t think anyone else would be intrested in buying these shoes (except for a “can-rob-bank-for-anything-xbox” fan). According to the eBay Auction page:

These are an exclusive pair…only one of its kind. Patent leather back with embedded fiber optic wiring in the shape of the XBOX logo. Battery placement is in the tongue as well as on and off switch that has 2 settings: Strobe or Constant light functions. Gradient lime swoosh faded to black. The toe is painted in a surreal Tiger Camouflage with accents of lime and bright green. These are a men’s size 11.”

These Xbox shoes feature a ‘glow in the dark’  Xbox logo. Guess what, you will get a free “Sole Junkie” book when you buy this $2,500 Xbox shoes. If they drop the price to $100, I would buy these shoes. More images below.

Update: These shoes were soold for $4000.99 at last.
