Everyday, more and more new and exciting technology gadgets are shaping our lifestyles. In recent times, the technology community has been excited about many new portable devices. They have every reason to be excited, as you shall soon see. These portable gadgets serve many different purposes. They provide entertainment, allow people to connect to the Internet to do work, and may even be used as fancy wall displays.
The Media Port UP300x Multimedia Headset is one such example. This is a standalone headset that allows an individual to enjoy music playback hands free. And when the manufacturers say hands free, they really mean it. You do not even have to touch the headset to perform any operations. There is a built-in motion sensor that will allow you to adjust volume, select files, playback, pause, etc. just by moving your head.
Attached to the headset is a lightweight display device that provides a high quality image. Even those wearing glasses will have no problems operating this device.
The internal memory of the multimedia headset comes in 4GB and 8GB. The amount of memory is enough for an individual to store thousands of songs. All popular playback formats are supported. There is even talk of a content distribution service that will allow the individual to download content directly from the gadget. This gadget looks set to be a winner among music and movie lovers on the go.
Another example of an innovative device is the ASUS Ufoto. Traditionally, graphic display technology has only been used on big scale monitors. However, ASUS has discovered a way to run a tiny LCD monitor via the USB port. Enthusiasts have mentioned that this technology can be used as a photo frame. And ASUS gave the consumers exactly what they wanted.
The ASUS Ufoto’s primary objective is to display photos. You can store over 700 photos in its built-in 128MB memory. If that’s not enough, you can always attach an external storage device, such as an USB flash drive. The Ufoto gadget will allow you to run slide shows automatically. While the slide show runs, you can even synchronize the show with MP3 music.
The Ufoto digital photo frame can be left standing on a table or hanged on a wall. There is a rechargeable lithium battery that lasts for 6-8 hours, so there is no need to keep it plugged into an AC power source all the time.
And because it is very small and light, it can be brought along so that family and friends can view hundreds of photos all at one time. Imagine having to bring along physical photo albums of over 700 photos while traveling! The weight must be unbearable.
Another function of the ASUS Ufoto is that it can be used as a secondary monitor. The gadget can be plugged into any available USB port, and it can be used to add additional work space for the user.
As you can see, consumers are spoilt for choice when it comes to portable devices. They come in such fanciful designs that it’s almost impossible not to give them any attention. Perhaps the best strategy is to stop fighting the temptations and give in to your desires. Your life will never be the same again with these devices.
