iLuv wants to cater to those who own both the iphone and iPod, as the new iMM173 Hi-Fi Dual Dock Alarm Clock comes with two docks for both devices. This allows for simultaneous device charging, but it won’t work with 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation iPods. Some of the features include :-
- Advanced user-interface (UI) with oversized LCD display
- Powerful 5W x 2 sound output with treble/bass control
- jAura soundcell technology
- Auxiliary line input for any audio devices with 3.5mm jack
- Daylight saving time switch
- LCD dimmer 10 level control
- Integrated universal dock for your iPhone/ipod
- Digital clock display with dual alarm clock featuring wake to iPhone/iPod
- Integrated FM radio
You will be able to pick up the iMM173 from early next month onwards for $129.99.
All About Symbian reviews the Nokia N78 and writes, “The top of the device houses the 3.5mm audio jack and power button. The right hand side has, from top to bottom a speaker, volume controls and the camera capture key. The volume controls double as the zoom keys in the Camera and Photos applications. One absence compared to earlier devices, such as the N73, is the Gallery key - this is because it has effectively been replaced by the multimedia key, although because of its versatility, an extra few key presses are required to access recently captured photos…The back of the device houses the 3.2 megapixel, auto-focus camera, with its Carl Zeiss optics. It’s accompanied by a single LED flash. This limits the camera’s abilities in low light conditions, but makes sense given the pricing and positioning of the N78.”
NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang just can’t resist throwing more jabs at Intel, distracting the inaugural NVISION crowd from Battlestar Galactica star Tricia Helfer with the claim that “Larrabee hasn’t shipped so you don’t know what it is and I don’t know what it is.” The fact that we do know what it is — a next-gen hybrid CPU / GPU — shouldn’t be a concern according to Huang, because “By the time it does ship, Nvidia’s technology will be so far advanced it won’t matter.” Besides stuffing Usain Bolt-type speed into a GPU the company will keep busy working on its WinMo smartphone hardware, and software for the not-exactly-Atom-killing VIA Nano, but forget about that rumored x86-compatible hardware ‘cuz, as Jen-Hsun reminds us, “the Internet doesn’t run on x86.” For a company that lacks innovation, is “a joke,” and at least four years behind, Intel must be doing something right, because the competition can’t keep its name out of their mouths.
While it doesn’t appear to be nearly as serious as some of the computer problems the International Space Station has faced, it looks like a virus has managed to find its way onto some of the laptops used on the Station, which NASA is now describing only as a “nuisance.” According to SpaceRef.com, the virus is the W32.Gammima.AG worm, which is normally used to swipe sensitive information for online games. As Wired’s Threat Level reports, the worm has also spread to more than one laptop on the Space Station, which would seem to suggest that it has either been spread via an on-board intranet, or via a thumb drive. Somewhat disconcertingly, when asked by Threat Level if any mission critical systems were connected to the same network as the laptops, NASA spokesperson Kelly Humphries simply said, “I don’t know and even if I did, I wouldn’t be able to tell you for IT security reasons.”
