Apple to Give Away Remote Control Application For iPhone
by admin on Jun.30, 2008, under Top Gadgets
The latest version of iTunes (7.7), which was yesterday sent early to developers, contains this nugget:
“Use iTunes 7.7 to sync music, video, and more with iPhone 3G, and download applications from the iTunes Store exclusively designed for iPhone and iPod touch with software version 2.0 or later.”
“Also use the new Remote application for iPhone or iPod touch to control iTunes playback from anywhere in your home — a free download from the App Store.”
That wording looks a little janky, with the ‘Touch’ in iPod Touch spelled with a small ‘t’, and some run on sentences, but maybe that’s just the transcription-monkeys over at Mac Rumors.
We’re guessing that this will work over your home Wi-Fi network in a similar way to the web-apps that already do this. Of course, being a native application, and being Apple designed, it should be a lot faster and slicker. We still can’t help wondering, though, when Apple will let us stream music direct from our iPhones to the Airport Express, cutting out the middle Mac entirely. C’mon guys. What’s stopping you?
Mitsubishi Releases Specs of the ‘Frakking’ Laser TV
by admin on Jun.30, 2008, under Top Gadgets
According to the latest statement straight from Mitsubishi’s Japan headquarters, the new LaserVue TV will be available in monster sizes only, 65″ and 73,” and is supposed to come out in the first part of the third quarter later this year. That translates to the first couple of weeks of September, if you’re fixing your planner at home, or even if you’re alone.
Laser TVs have been anticipated for quite a long time, even as far back as the 1960s. But the cost and the semiconductor processing needed to power quality, consumer grade light engines was too prohibitive (check out the field of optoelectronics for more information). Only until recently, when companies like Novalux started showing their new semiconductor laser tech, did we think we’d see any significant improvements or an actual product.
The Mitsubishi LaserVue will include several interesting breakthroughs that could build it a nice niche (until the expected high prices fall, down the road).
