National’s electric hair trimmer replaces barber convex-edged scissors

The good thing about using electric hair trimmers over traditional scissors would be speed, the problem is the edge is usually unnaturally smooth, giving you the Gwen Stefani mushroom-look. So most people, invariably would need a combination of both: a pair of convex-edged scissors as well as the electrical shaver. Matsushita (National branded) has ended this hassle today with their new electric hair trimmer (or personal groomer, as they call it), what it does is that the blade randomly selects...

DoCoMo announces 703i series, BRAVIA SO903iTV and double internal screen D800iDS

Just 4 hours after AU KDDI’s announcement, NTT DoCoMo announced the new WCDMA 703i series in Tokyo. Nothing out of our expectation as we wrote about before. Also announced are the SonyEricsson BRAVIA SO903iTV DMB phone and Mitsubishi’s double-internal screen D900iDS, both of which Gearfuse premiered on Sunday. The 703i series is the mid-low end of DoCoMo’s 3G portfolio, so don’t compare their specifications with that of the W5 series from AU KDDI. Take note that all these phones will... Continue reading

AU KDDI announces 10 new phones: records DMB programs, digital radio, W-VGA, full OLED screens

Japan’s second largest operator AU KDDI announced 10 new EV-DO phones this morning for the Spring 2007 line-up. Including the W51SH which we showed you the picture way before announcement.

The 10 phones include one from the AU Design Project- the Media Skin, 2 from Toshiba, and 1 from all Casio, Panasonic, Hitachi, Kyocera, Sanyo, SonyEricsson and Sharp. Out of these 10 phones, 6...

National’s new bloodpressure meter warns users of wrong usage

A lot of people have the habit of keeping their own bloodpressure measurer at home, and it is quite common that these meters are inaccurate. Since they have been out in the market for so long, and even hospitals use automatic bloodpressure meters more than mercury sphygnomanometers nowadays, it tells us that their accuracy has indeed improved throughout the years, at least, good enough for medical purposes. The problem with measuring bloodpressure at home is that you don’t always (or... Continue reading

Panasonic RP-HTX7 headphones

Panasonic decided to go with a retro look with their new headphones, the RP-HTX7. These headphones incorporate a leather style headband, pastel painted headphones, and large cup headphones to bring back that look of the good-ole days. Not only does Panasonic give the RP-HTX7 a cool design, but they also give them cool features. Some of the features include 40mm drive unit, a 1.2 meter cord, a 2 meter extension cord, and a carrying pouch so you don’t scratch that... Continue reading

Get online with your dustproof shockproof splashproof outdoor heater at -2F: the new Toughbook

Panasonic has updated their Toughbook line of notebooks this morning, and this sounds more fun than having an EVDO chip built into non-tough-looking Toughbooks (which a lot of people were talking about last week). Apart from the usual speedbump (which we are not as interested: Intel Core2 Duo ULV L2400), they said that this hardcore Toughbook will work in temperatures as low as -2F (-20C). This is done by a re-design of the screen, which not only doubles the brightness... Continue reading

Panasonic camcorders go HD

In an attempt at stealing some of the HD market (and I guess at producing crappy movies?), Panasonic has joined the HD club by announcing their two new HD camcorders. For those who love the Panasonic brand of personals camcorders, but also have always wished to analyze the pores in their children’s faces, can now have the brand recognition they’ve always wanted. The HDC-SD1 ($1499) records onto SD cards, providing you with up to an hour of High Def recordings... Continue reading

Panasonic makes thinnest speaker…EVAR!

At an incredibly anorexic size of 1.5mm, the boys (and ladies, perhaps?) over at Panasonic can now say they have produced the thinnest speaker of all time. Now, the bragging ensues, huzzah! Panasonic has slimmed down their previous model, which was a staggering 2.5mm, a 40% decrease. Come on guys, couldn’t squeeze one more tenth of a millimeter out? With the PED’s (Panasonic Electronic Device) reduction, we can now look forward to even THINNER cellphones. Soon we will all be... Continue reading
