Mercedes' Benz, is expanding and in the most unlikeliest of areas. No one including me (with my great predictions) had thought of Mercedes' Benz to come up with nothing but a pouch for your iPhone. The new iPhone pouch is crafted from the finest quality white nappa leather, so the grey you see in the pictures is actually white (What??).

ZSpotNow is ostensibly a community for owners of the Fujifilm FinePix Z20 digital camera, but Fujifilm is using it to promote a series of events like a pro skating competition, a Z20-logo designing contest, and a video-making contest asking members to record clips of themselves speaking about trends in fashion and technology (??). ]]> Gizmodiva ]]> tag:www.newlaunches.com,2008://2.30884 2008-07-19T07:33:05Z 2008-07-19T07:41:53Z

Now we hear that maybe the large screen (probably 8.5×11) model has ulterior motives, to target the college/university text book market. This market is for around $5.5 billion dollars in the US alone. Lugging along heavy text books is a major issue with all students. May be this can offer an apt solution McGraw-Hill Education, for example, publishes 95% of their books electronically as well as in print. But there is no compelling device to read them on. A new large screen kindle will be a wonderful idea. The battery life is much longer than most electronic devices, and carrying a large Kindle is swankier and practical than carrying heavy books.

The buzz is that Amazon plans on bringing out its Amazon Video on Demand service pretty soon. Apparently the service will allow customers to access and immediately begin streaming any of 40,000 movies and television programs directly from their Mac of Windows PC. "For the first time, this is drop dead simple," said Bill Carr, Amazon's vice president for digital media. "Our goal is to create an immersive experience where people can't help but get caught up in how exciting it is to simply watch a movie right from Amazon.com with a click of the button." This new service will be different from Apple's iTunes video services and Amazon's earlier Unbox. It will let customers purchase and begin watching movies or TV shows without having to actually download the video file to a hard drive. This move makes the service more compatible with a number of devices. Keeping this sentiment, Amazon has teamed with Sony Electronics to place its new video service on Sony's Bravia line of high-definition TVs.]]> To begin with, Amazon Video on Demand service will be accessible through the Sony Bravia Internet Video link, a $300 accessory that allows the flagship line of Bravia HDTVs to connect to a world of Internet videos. But ultimately the future Bravia sets will come with the capability built in allowing customers to access alternative media through the new Amazon service right out of the box. Carr said Amazon will seek to strike similar deals with other HDTV manufacturers and video device makers. Amazon says it will store video purchases in a video library so that customers can then watch that show or movie whenever they return to Amazon.com, even if it is from a different computer or portable device. "I can be at my office, purchase a movie, and then it will be available on my television at home," Robert Jacobs, a senior manager at Sony Electronics, told the Times "Creating this on-demand available-everywhere access to premium content is going to be very attractive to consumers." tag:www.newlaunches.com,2008://2.30881 2008-07-19T06:54:59Z 2008-07-19T09:29:43Z

The phone has a built in pedometer which works with the help of 3-axis accelerometers for improved accuracy, so 'every step you take and every move you make' is recorded in the Health Diary. The phone also has a pulsimeter which measures your pulse in a rather unique way. You keep the phone near a bright light source and then place your finger on the secondary camera above the screen, the camera captures the vessel movements in the shadows and using a dedicated algorithm it processes the pulse rate. ]]> Checking the pulse using a camera Communicating with a Tanita product using Infrared.
