The Portable Camo Hard Drive – Don’t Put It Down In The Garden
May 8, 2008
It’s not often that a hard drive manufacturer has the cunning foresight to create camouflaged portable hard drives is it? And, if we’re being completely honest, there’s probably a damn good reason for that. But we’re not ones to shun the pointless because there will undoubtedly be somebody somewhere that has been keenly awaiting the introduction of a camo drive. Well, put your acrylic paint and brushes away, because Iomega has developed the hard drive that you can lose in your garden.
At £75 it isn’t that unreasonably priced and offers 250GB of storage and USB 2.0 connectivity. Clearly, it’s unlikely that you’re ever really going to have a need for a woodland camouflaged portable hard drive but if you just can’t get enough camo gear, or are sick of those boring, modern silver and black designs then the latest offering in the Iomega eGo line is definitely, possibly, for you.
Protected by an Iomega Power Grip, the drive is said to offer extra ruggedness and durability but it does lead you to question just what Iomega think you are actually going to do with a portable hard drive. There can’t really be any serious and legitimate uses for such covert periperals can there?
500,000 GB MP3 Player On The Horizon
April 27, 2008
Room for one more track? According to researchers from Glasgow University, you’ll have plenty of room soon. Professor Lee Cronin and Dr Malcolm Kadodwala have completed research that means a single square inch of memory could contain as much as 500,000 GB, instead of the current limit of approximately 3.3GB.
That should have ISPs in a bit of a panick, following news that they want the BBC to pay more because of the popularity of the BBC iPlayer. Imagine the number of downloads that you would need to manage in order to fill an iPod Nano that can hold over 100,000 times more songs.
The change in technology could mean even smaller MP3 players and other portable devices although it may not be worth getting your hopes up just yet. While the technology has been proven, Professor Lee Cronin admits that they have “yet to solve the fabrication and addressing problems.”
If a 5GB MP3 player holds around 2,500 songs, this could mean the advance of an MP3 player that would house an astonishing 250 million tracks. That’s an awful lot of Cliff Richard in anyone’s book.

Photo-bloggers, amateur papparazi, and teenage girls rejoice! Eye-Fi has launched their first version of a wireless add-on for nearly any camera. This incredibly clever SD card has a built-in WiFi transmitter, capable of being programmed to submit your photos to any number of over 20 online photosharing sites. Walmart.com has it listed for $99.84, which is an incredibly great price. Don’t be fooled by the 2 gb card size, after everything is transmitted you can simply clear and start taking pictures again. Picture yourself on your next vacation not having to carry around extra SD cards everywhere you go.
As the website’s Flash montage shows, this product is designed to bring us candid shots even quicker. Facebook, Flickr, and Photobucket availability are all built-in out of the box. I hope future software updates will allow for wireless Youtube video transmissions. As advancements in cell-phone photo, video, and audio in the US has been stagnant over the past 3 years, this product has the ability to bring live photo and video blogging into highquality life.
