Sanyo’s LP-XL50 projector gives you big image with a really short focus

Sanyo’s newly announced projector, LP-XL50 gives the kind of distinction being able to project an 80 inch, 2,000 lumens image but needing only a really short focus, which is only 8cm away to achieve that. This is extremely good when used in a small room, which you can have the projector stay very close to the screen that can also give a pretty clear and large enough image for the presentation.

As shown in the picture, the projector just hung on the wall and it could give a pretty large image projection on the wall screen that was only about 8 centimeters away from it. I think we have all experienced that when a projector is located too far from the screen, it’ll be a bit inconvenient for the presenter, as most of the time, the presenter will walk right into the projector beam, somehow will block part of the projected image. Having the Sanyo LP-XL50, that little inconvinience can be eliminated. The LP-XL50 uses an ultra-short focal lens, coupled with a new propriety optical engine. Additionally, there’s a a pair of VGA inputs, component, S-Video, and composite connectors, and a built-in two-watt speaker. It’d likely cost touching $5K and be available in December.

Linspire and Microsoft have become good friends to fulfill customers’ need

Once, they were enemies, now they’ve become good friends. I haven’t been keeping myself up-to-date with the development of Linspire. In my memory, this company was once called Lindows when they first started and they got a lawsuit fired against them by the Redmond giant, Microsoft. Due to its name Lindows was too close to Windows, which was deemed to have misled the customers. If you’re new to Linspire, it’s basically an operating system that builds on top of a Linux core that offers numerous compatibilities with Windows application software. In another words, it offers much cheaper alternative to the Microsoft’s Windows. And they were compensated by Microsoft to change name to Linspire as per the result of the lawsuit.

The two now have formed an agreement, which they’re gonna provide better interoperability, technical collaboration that also includes intellectual property assurances between the two operating systems. And Microsoft claimed that the deal was simply to promote customer choice and to strengthen the bridge between the Microsoft^® Windows^® and Linux operating systems. So, it’s good news to you and me, which I really think all these operating systems makers shall settle their fight to provide better OS and software that will very much make our life easier.

Ring mouse lets you cursor on any surface

“Ring Mouse” shows you a different way of cursoring around. Just strap it to your finger, you can then cursor on any surface, including your thumb. The kind of handiness when using “ring mouse” is you don’t have to get a mouse pad or find a flat surface to use your mouse. This is especially good for those who don’t even wanna lose a single minute and wanna get some work done, while waiting for a train, sitting on the long bench at the train station. This is the product of Global Link, which was shown at Computex in Taipei. The “ring mouse” simply reminds me the Perific Wireless Mouse, which works similarly that you need no flat surface or mouse pad. The only short is “ring mouse” still presents you the hassle of having to deal with the dangling wire, whereas Perific mouse works wirelessly over bluetooth.

Three-screened laptop!

Simply having too much work to catch up with, then a single screen on your computer is definitely insufficient! We’ve seen before that a PC dual monitor comes with a small screen hinged on top of it. Which the intention is to let us run and keep an eye on multiple tasks at the same time. Now, the multiple screen idea has come to the laptop, the handy companion for the frequent business travelers. This Acme portable computer can have two additional screens to attach to either side of the main screen to form a three-screened laptop for you. If you’re really the kind of overly busy guy who really needs three screen to work on. Then you’ll have no choice, whenever you travel just bring along two additional screens with you.
