A new technology similar to Bluetooth will be announced at next months CES by Fulton Innovation called ‘eCouple’ which will let you charge gadgets wirelessly, sounds cool, we’ll see what its like when its out .

The replacement Wii cables have started arriving, the new cables look much fatter and stronger so hopefully these won’t snap.

Nearly 10,000,000 Sony batteries recalled

As ive posted numerous times about these battery recalls, here we go again. Sony announced themselves that 9.6million batteries have been recalled. Wonder how much money they’ve lost over this. Mwahaha.

Mooore battery recalls

As I said in my previous battery recall entry there would be more battery recalls. Fujitsi has been added to the list, plus Dell has announced another 100k laptops to be recalled. When’s the next battery recall coming? Tomorrow?

More iPhone rumours?

Seems like Apple have released iTunes update 7.0.1 quietly. The new update was found to have some suspicious strings in its config files, such as; “4301.022″ = ” ^0 was not copied because the video format is not supported by the mobile phone ^1 .”

Which suggests rumours off a iPhone. The excpected launch of the iPhone is at the Macworld 2007 exhibition in january 2007.

Laptop battery recalls

It seems like every week a new company announces about a new battery recall. After some bomb threats where laptops have blown up, even airline companies have banned certain manufacturers laptops from being carried on the plane. Some of the biggest companies around have asked their batteries to be recalled; Apple, Dell, Panasonic, Toshiba and Lenovo, which announced today at a press conference. There must about 3/4 million laptops to be recalled. More companies to announce recalls I predict.

Olympus wooden camera

Zune ad pics

Just a few nice looking pictures of the Zune, much better ones than the first announced. Came from a Flickr Zune Insider.

And a white one;

Zune’s own “iTunes”

Seems like Microsoft is doing everything by the Apple hanbook, first the mp3 player which plays video and has a circular control on the front. Now the Zune Marketplace, looks pretty nice excpect for all the C-class bands it has on the site. No offence to them, but sure Microsoft could do better?
