We hear this word everywhere, either if it’s about programs or some other kind of technology. The truth is many people don’t know the meaning of the word gadget, also known as gizmo.
<-300×250 Medium Rectangle – center->
To be as precise as possible, a gadget is a small technological object. It can be either a device or an application thought to be more ingenious and unusually designed than other.

Although, it started as a small range of gadgets, today we can classify existent gadgets in various categories, such as:

- Mechanical gadgets, which include clocks, thermometers, and bicycles, that comes in a very large number.

- Programmable gadgets include almost any modern device.

- Application gadgets are small computer programs, such as the ones that Google Desktop implements.

- Eco-friendly gadgets are ones that are solar powered and can be used from lighting your garden to charging batteries or phones.

- Electronic gadgets is a category that has a few other subcategories:

• USB gadgets has a lot of benefits and that’s why they are very numerous and diverse. The simplest gadget known and owned by most people is the USB Flash Card. Other examples are the USB Heating Gloves or the USB Cup Heater. As long as you have a computer around, they are very easy to use. All you need is an USB port, at least 1.1. They are small so easy to carry around and require low power.
  

• iPod gadgets are the one that can be attached to the iPod or the ones the iPod can be attached to. For instance, mini or big audio systems, handbags, and even anti-pick-pocket locks with password coding.

• Spy gadgets are the most sophisticated ones. They can be spy cameras or night vision binoculars, listening devices, and even lie detectors.

• Watch gadgets come very in handy when in need of a calculator or calendars. Some of them can store music and pictures files and have playing features. In addition, others have built-in flash drives or walkie-talkies.

• Health gadgets is the one category that actually serves a good purpose. These gadgets can check for your blood pressure, temperature or sugar level and others can normalize them.

• Cell phone gadgets are most modern cell phones and their accessories.

• Other type of gadgets is all of those gadgets meant to entertain us and to make our lives much easier.

Like I said before, there are all kinds of gadgets meant to improve our lives and make it easier. Every one of them is useful in one way or another. Some are addressed to certain ages, while others are for all ages. Big companies rely on the fact that as the technological world goes only forward, they will always come up with something new and original to develop and sell. Maybe some of them will remain without any actual purpose, just to be left lying around, but maybe many others will have a good purpose. Personally, I think that the eco-friendly gadgets and the health gadgets will make always a good investment and we should focus on them because we will always be dependent of phones and other pieces of technology with lesser importance.

Solar Powered Gadgets

Saturday, November 7th, 2009 |

Let us be eco-friendly! Solar power is big and as times passes, new technologies appear. Here are some suggestions of solar powered gadgets that may come in handy from time to time or for everyday use:
<-300×250 Medium Rectangle – center->
- The Neuber Energy Sun Bag can be very useful for people who carry gadgets with them. The Sun Bag offers plenty of space for phones, MP3 Players, or other devices and in the same time, it’s a universal charger.

- Does your porch need a little bit of lighting? The Frosted Scroll Solar Powered Lantern offers that to you for about 8 hours. Some of them have an on/off switch so you can save the energy even longer. Moreover, it is stylish too.

- One thing you should definitely have if you own an iPhone or an iPod is the Surge Solar Case. If you get unhappy with your battery life, you are not at home and don’t have the charger with you, or you simply forgot to recharge your iPhone or iPod, this simple case will help you. It is true that your iPod won’t be as tiny as before, but you can still use it without any problem.

- The Solar LED Flashlight is one of the most searched eco-friendly gadgets on the market. The flashlight is 250 mm long with a diameter of 28 mm and has not more than 10 LED lights inside it. Moreover, the flashlight has a built-in rechargeable Li-on battery.

- Personally, I don’t watch TV because I don’t like the news channels. But sometimes I want to know the forecast for the next day so the Oregon Scientifics Eco Clima Control Weather Station is great for what I need. For use within the house, it shows temperature and humidity for up to four rooms.If you wish you could add 3 remote locations, outside your house, such as your office or your children school and this little gadget will show you the temperature there. It is a solar powered gadget, so it doesn’t need electric energy at all.

- Everybody likes camping, but not everybody knows how to start a fire. This is where the Solar Power LED Vintage Camping Lantern comes in. It’s base color in black, but when lighting, it turns into a red color and uses 2 AAA batteries. If you forgot to put it to charge, you can use 2 ordinary batteries and they’ll do the job for a while.

- Toyota’s Solar Powered Car is definitely news. First, they said they’ll put solar panels only for the AC, but now it seems they’ve changed their minds and built an entire solar powered car. These panels can produce energy for powering up to 500 homes, by that saving about 740 tons of Carbon dioxide emissions, which is great. It seems that Toyota is a truly eco-friend.

- Here is an easy way to carry energy with you anywhere you go. The Solar Keychain needs about 10 hours to a full charge and can be used as emergency power for your phone when you are in need.

Surprisingly (or not), Sony has into its portfolio some excellent LCD HD Televisions with a diagonal varying from 42 inches to 70 inches. However, the price tags are certainly inadequate even for non economic crisis time. I am not really sure how to present these products, since it is impossible to show them in a favorite way, but I must take into consideration the design and hardware package they have to deliver. In the light of the current situation, I have chosen to make a short presentation of each model, leaving you, the reader, and maybe potential buyer to decide either this products are offensive or simply brilliant. There are 19 LCD HD Televisions with a screen diagonal between 42 inches and 70 inches in Sony’s portfolio.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
Probably one of the most expensive LCD HD TV’s out on the market is Sony 70 inches Bravia XBR7 Series LCD HDTV, or easily the KDL 70 XBR7. This LCD HDTV has an amazing design with glossy black frame on the front cover, and matter black plastic on the back, with small finishes within the built in speakers (grey frames) or the silver “Sony” logo, which is very small compared to the dimensions of this TV. With a height of 1065 mm (42 inches), wide of 1850 mm (or 72.875 inches), deep of 401 mm (15.875 inches) – including the pedestal, or without pedestal, height of 1012 mm (or 39.875 inches), wide of 1850 mm (or 72.875 inches), deep of 153 mm (6.125 inches), the KDL 70 XBR7 weights about 86.5 Kg (or 191 lbs) with pedestal, or 72.5 Kg (or 160 lbs) without the pedestal.

Therefore, you should be careful not to try to unpack it alone, or set it into your living room by yourself. It sports an enormous feature data base, but in the main features view you will check the full high definition 1080p resolution, the seven high definition inputs, the 10 bit panel and processing, 70 inches display with 15.000 to 1 dynamic contrast ratio, the Motion flow 120 Hz refresh rate, and the second generation of the Bravia Engine PRO. Within the retail package you should find beside the actual LCD HDTV the remote control (RM YD024), two AA batteries for the remote controls, the operating instructions, quick setup guide, warranty card, online registration card, online POP, table top stand, and the AC power cord.

Sony offers the KDL 70 XBR7 for $19999.99 price tag, an enormous price even for what it has to offer. The next LCD in Sony’s offer is the 65 inches Bravia W Series LCD HDTV with the actually screen size of 64.5 inches and the model number KDL 65 W5100. This LCD TV has also several good key features such as full HD 1080p resolution, 7 HD inputs, Motion flow 120 Hz refresh rate, 100.000 to 1 dynamic contrast ratio, Bravia Engine 3 and Bravia Internet video widgets. The retail package sports everything you might need. The KDL 65 W5100 has a nice design, conservative, yet stylish with enough special finishes delivering. This TV is a better choice than the previous one since it sports a smaller price tag of $4999.99.

The same price tag is included within the 55 inches Class Bravia XBR8 LCD HDTV (KDL 55 XBR8), which sports the same design as the KDL 70 XBR7. By adding to the design and smaller price tag high features as the Bravia Engine 2.0 Pro, full 1080p resolution Motion flow with 120 Hz Pro refresh rate, 10 bit panel, and the Triluminos RGB LED backlight, Sony successfully delivered one of the best sold LCD HDTV. Within the same price range, Sony offer another two LCDs, the 52 inches Bravia XBR10 Series LCD HDTV (KDL 52 XBR10) and 46 inches Bravia XBR10 Series LCD HDTV (KDL 46 XBR10 for $4499.99). The first model sports beside the full HD 1080p resolution, 1 million to 1 dynamic contrast ratio, Bravia Internet video, Motion flow 240 Hz, Edge Lit LED backlight, and 1080p wireless transmission.

The second model sports exactly the same features but includes a smaller display, from 52 inches down to 46 inches. In the $2000 – $3000 price range you can find several Sony LCD TVs. The first one is on sale from $3099.99 to $2499.99. The 52 inches Bravia XBR9 Series LCD HDTV (KDL 52 XBR9) sports beside the full HD 1080p resolution, a 100.000  to 1 dynamic contrast ratio, Motion flow 240 Hz refresh rate, 10 bit panel, the Bravia Internet video / widgets, and the Bravia Engine 3. With $100 less than the KDL 52 XBR9, you get the KDL 52 Z5100 also known as 52 inches Bravia Z Series LCD HDTV.

This LCD HDTV is a good bargain (from the $2699.99) since it sports beside an excellent design, but also a full hardware package including the latest generation of Bravia Engine, the full HD 1080p resolution, the Motion flow 240 Hz refresh rate, 10 bit panel and processing, 100.000 to 1 dynamic contrast ratio, 7 HD inputs, Bravia internet video and widget, and the latest Energy Star 3.0 certified. The last Sony LCD HDTV with the price tag between $2000 – $3000 ranges is the KDL 46 XBR9 (46 inches Bravia XBR9 Series LCD HDTV). The KDL 46 XBR9 is basically the same LCD like the KDL 52 Z5100, but with a smaller screen and lacking the 7 HD inputs. However, Sony offers a deal for this LCD, with a $2099.99 price tag (until October 31, from the normal price tag of $2599.99). Under the $2000 price tag, Sony really launched several LCDs. Some of them offer great features for less money, while others have inexplicable price tags.

These LCD HDTVs are from different series, S Series, V Series, W Series, and Z Series. However, at the $1599.99 price tag Sony delivers a product that other manufacturers haven yet successfully created, a LCD TV eco friendly, part of the new VE5 Eco Series. The model, KDL 46 VE5, sports a 46 inches diagonal screen. This LCD TV includes besides the obvious features (7 HD, full HD 1080p, Motion flow 120 Hz refresh rate, 100.000 to 1 dynamic contrast ratio, Bravia Engine 2, and energy saving backlight and power switch) at least three important eco friendly features. The first feature is actually the design itself, with the 46 inches display that includes a HCFL backlight high efficient that provides optimum brightness and reduces power consumption to 50% (below the Energy Star 3.0 requirements).

Sony also included a presence sensor which detects if you are in the room or not. In case you have stepped out from the room, the TV will switch the picture off. If in 30 minutes nobody will enter the room (the sensor doesn’t detect movement), the KDL 46 VE5 will turn itself off completely. Even more, Sony included a new switch off, which will not allow this LCD HDTV to consume any power when turned off (because usually any electronic device, even when switched off still consumes power). The retail package is standard, but includes everything you might need (remote control – YD028, two AA batteries for the remote control, AC power cord, pedestal with four screws, operating instructions, quick setup guide, warranty card, and table top stand). If you are looking for a new Bravia powered LCD HDTV, then you should definitely check Sony’s portfolio. Within the 42 inches to 70 inches diagonal LCD HD Televisions range you can find 19 products, from different series, with a retouched design within every series, excellent features even for the $1099.99 46 inches Bravia S Series LCD HDTV.

The prices are certainly not small, but keep in mind that most of the above products have a diminished price tag, since Sony already started the holiday promotions (even if the promotion is only until October 31, Sony will probably extended it until Christmas). Overall, in this economy the key element is the perfect balance between design, features, and price, and the ultimate decision is in the hands of the potential buyers.
