LG eXpo, Mobile Projector

LG eXpo

LG eXpo has been unveiled, new high-end terminal characteristics overwhelming, but with a main novelty compared to other models in the market: the possibility of adding a spike projector.

The peak projector, which will be sold as an option for $ 180, will play back images to a distance of 2.44 meters and it will fit in the back of the terminal, occupying a sizeable space. Incidentally, the LG Expo is a slider-type mobile, physical QWERTY keyboard and 3.2-inch screen, which is not excessively large.

As for hardware features we will find the familiar Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 1 GHz, one of the most powerful on the market today and that will move a Windows Mobile 6.5 with HSPA. It will also include GPS and 5 megapixel camera, among other features.

Unfortunately, the LG eXpo only be sold for now, the United States, beginning on 7 December for a price of $ 200 under a given contract. His departure to the rest of the market is today uncertain.

About the peak integrated projector seemed a good idea to offer it as an option only for those who really want and need and for a fairly affordable price. But do not expect wonders from a projector integrated into a mobile, if that remains to be seen more as something to use in rare cases.

Airis Dbook EB001, another e-book on Christmas eve

Airis DBook EB001
Now, looking at the new e-book Airis Dbook EB001, we also realize that the strategy by most brands is the same: to offer products traced to the standard price. With ultraportables was a disaster, because the market was filled with the first model year it was difficult to differentiate, and nobody dared not move. He spent the boom, and now we see ultraportables with better batteries, multimedia aspirations … something different, go.

Returning to the electronic book reader Airis, offers a 6-inch screen and 512 MB internal memory, which can extend to the use of SD memory cards. Autonomy stands at 8,000 pages and also comes with headphone output 2.5 mm, the specifications do you sound? Are similar to many of the books that have emerged in recent months. We find for example the recent Energy Sistem models, which differ almost only in the design, and very slightly.

Do not expect much less connectivity that the screen is touch and we can take notes. Airis Dbook EB001 model, weighing 175 grams, will cost 250 euros, which makes us think the EPUB format will not be among the supported formats, as with the economic model of Energy Sistem, leaving these books in disadvantage.

If you plan to spend that money on an electronic book, we recommend our selection of models under $ 300.

Spring Desing Alex

Little by little they know more about this Spring Design Alex, this electronic book which was presented as the competence of the Barnes & Noble and, with their characteristics, we are increasingly attracting more.

It does so by incorporating a pair of screens, one of electronic ink and other color and touch, all running on Android. So far, nothing too different from its competition, but Alex works with a new Marvell chip that allows a rate of 3 frames per second.
