HYUNDAI RIDES THE APPLE

RIDES Magazine held nothing back when they transformed the interior of a Hyundai Genesis sedan for the upcoming 2008 Speciality Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show...



The RIDES Digital Genesis is a mobile Wi-Fi hot spot capable of supporting 50 simultaneous users. The car has three Mac computers (including a MacBook Air and two Mac minis), an iPod Touch, iPhone 3G, Farenheit DVD player, Genesis amps, Morel Hybrid Ovation speakers and two 12” subs.Backseat passengers cruise in style in suede-upholstered seats with a control console to activate the car’s electronics. The car also has an Apple wireless keyboards perched on flip-down tray tables with 8.4-inch VGA headrest monitors for each passenger. I hope Apple is one of their sponsor.

APPLE EVERYTHING

These RF modules would contain radio circuitry for connecting to both short range personal area networks (e.g. Bluetooth, UWB,Wi-fi, etc;) and long range wireless networks (e.g. GSM, CDMA, Wimax). And not much more.

They be small enough to be integrated in various things and places, including your car, shirt, handbag or shoe.

Your portable devices, such as iPod players will contain only short range wireless connectivity chips. But they will have all the necessary UI’s for both short and long range communication and will be able to connect and identify themselves to any RF module around. Just like today’s Macbooks connect to Airport Express to access the net.

And thus your future iPod, Macbook and whatever portable device Apple thinks off next may have full anytime anywhere connectivity , just as current iPhone 3G has in most places.

...BY STORM

Ever since the iPhone released, everybody’s been looking to topple the big dog with every touchscreen phone releasing therefore after hoping to earn the title of iPod Killer. None have really made a dent in the iPhone’s title as the quintessential and end all of be all touch-screen phones. However, if there’s anybody who’s going to make a run at it, we assume RIM will be firing on all cylinders with their upcoming release, the Blackberry Storm. Utilizing all of the functions that has made the smartphone maker so popular, RIM also looks to re-invent the touchscreen with their new “click-able” screen offering a level of tactile feel notably absent from any other phone maker. Some sources anticipate a November release with it being made exclusive only to the Verizon network.

SINGING TEACUP

The Drip with Song concept is probably the only concept I’d actually buy that uses CDs. I’ve totally transitioned to digital downloads but this just looks too precious. The saucer is actually a CD player with built-in speakers. The cup, when docked controls volume by turning it on the saucer.

DSLR SEES RED

Sure, the Canon 5D Mark II and Nikon D90's HD video capability is pretty amazing, but since the camera chassis and lenses are a typical DSLR shape, they lack many things in terms of utility for serious movie-makers. And that's where Redrock's "cinematizing" kit comes in.

It's designed to bolt around the camera and adds some serious mounting hardware, proper zoom and focus fine controls and lens hoods to the cameras. It certainly looks like an option to consider if you can't spring for a high-end Sony or RED cam. And though there's not much more info out there yet, the kit's supposed to be revealed today at the PhotoPlus event in New York, and the shipping date is rumored as November 1.

SMART GAME OF BLACKJACK

The Samsung Epix—the BlackJack III in another dimension where BlackBerry doesn't exist and the acronym BJ doesn't make people snicker—actually seems like a solid successor to the BlackJack II, adding the major things it needs to not get laughed at by every other smartphone today, "world's first optical mouse in a smartphone" gimmick aside: namely, a touchscreen and Wi-Fi. The optical mouse is basically like if you flipped the one on your desk over and tried to move it with your hand—you swipe your finger over it and click where you want. It's available now for $199 with the usual two-year blood contract.
