HAVA Mobile Player
HAVA Mobile Player
I think that we’re all getting to the point where we want to have complete control over our television watching experience. No more watching a television show whenever “they” want us to. I suppose that you could buy a TiVo or other DVR brand if you want that, but some want to take it step further and go mobile.
So why not have something on your mobile telephone that allows you to watch and control all of the home television channels and services from anywhere? I believe the Slingbox already does this service, but so does the HAVA.
The HAVA Mobile Player is a Symbian S60 optimized version of the HAVA Player that was originally designed to work with PCs and other mobile devices. The most outstanding feature is the control over DVR programming, and a user can even program it over a distance.
The HAVA Mobile Player is designed to work with Nokia’s two-way slider multimedia devices by allowing users to switch between portrait and full-screen landscape mode as they slide the screen. Channel switching and volume control is accomplished with the phone keys. Other controls include pause, rewind, skip of their television programs.
The HAVA is available for a free direct download in Q3 of 2008.

Laptop To Desktop - Transformers! 
Not long ago people were inspired by laptops! The only problem with laptops was that they climbed down if compared to desktops. Today everything is different laptops have caught up with desktops, when it is about specs, and exceeded them in terms of comfort and portability.
The comfort and the need to use a PC (mainly Internet) wherever you need it comes as a major priority and PC portability is a most wanted feature. On the other hand, there are people such as Yong-Seong Kim the designer who considers that we have come to a point when we need it vice-versa: to transform a laptop in a desktop. (Watch out it’s from the “Transformers”!) The designer actually offers a really ingenious docking solution. Yong-Seong Kim’s solution is just a response to the existing demands on the gadgets market!
The very idea consists of a huge slot behind the LCD display, that allows you to slide your laptop in without too much effort. This makes it possible for you to use all data you have on your laptop accessing it as you’d do from a regular desktop. The very display of the laptop can also be used as a secondary screen, this time vertically.
I must be honest the concept sounds and looks pretty good, but it is rather more eye candy than practical.
The question I ask myself is how am I going to use it? The answer is ‘just the same as I’d have done with my regular laptop’. So, why do I need it then?
Throwing away my cynic moods, I can admit the fact that this creation is meant for those who want it work FANCY, but it is less attractive to those who want it JUST work!
By the way, some tend to somehow compare the concept of the “laptop-transformers” with the Palm Folio. Well, for me it’s not really like that. See for yourself whether it suits you or not!
